Davis, Secretary of Labor Sateguarding the Mothers of Tomerrow. Great numbers of our women, the! mothers of our future generations, b t{been forced by ecomomic necessity into industry as workers. They Present ai grave problem, for their welfare is vital to the mantenance of sturdy American manhood, virile and respounsible, to meet the issues which America of tomorrow will face. The department of labor, through the women's bureau, is the agency through which the govarnment is segking to make certain that the ni- tion’s women ‘in their migration the home to the shop and factory are ¢! safeguarded in every direction, in order that the future of the race may mot bs impaired. The bureau was created in 1950, after the women in industry ser- vice, organized to meet the necessities ot the ‘war period, had completed its work. -| The purpose of the bureau as set forth the Aet of Congress authorizing its _{ ereation is to “formulate standards and | policies which shall promote the welfare of wage-earning women, improve their working conditions, increase their effi- cleney, and advance their opportunities for profitable employment.” The bu- s|reau is composed of women, directed by a woman and concerned specifically with the welfare of women. Women are in industry to stay. This t|1s a fact that is generally recognized in view of the vast numbers engaged there- Another rapidly gpreading fact is that women's so-called pin-money 13 frequently the family coupling-pin, the only means of holding the family - gother. Women have been cogs in the wheels of industry not only because they are indispensable to the industrial -|world but becanse the industrial world t|in turn is indispensable to them in their economic struggles. The women's bu- reay finds that practically 100 per cent of the married women in industry are devoting their entire wage to the sup- port of their families, while the unmar- ried women assume fully as much re- sponsibility as do the unmarried men. Careful study to produce the smooth adjustment of the workers in industry is t] essential not only for a successful in dustrislism but for a successful society. The protection and adjustment of women workers is _espectally imperative since they have the additional role of mothers ) and home-makers. They are the pro- ducers ot future citizens as well as of economic goods, and America of tomor- row will be as strong as her women of today. Moreover, the greater necessity for control of standards affecting wemen { workers is due to the fact that women have been in a weaker position economi- cally than men. They came into indus- try more or less on sufferance and they have not vet bonded themselves togeth- er strongly enough to insist successfully upon better conditions. Also since most women in industry are there becguse of financial necessity, they cannot afford to £ t The man on the corner says: Some|lUrR down a job becauss of low wages, long hours, or unsatistactory conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an opportunity for the upbuilding of safe- guards to conserve allke the industrial efficiency and the health of women and to make it impossible for selfish inter- ests to exploit them as unwilling com- petitors in lowering those standards Of wages working conditions, hours, and in- dustrial relations which are for the best Interest ot the workers, the industries, and society as a whole, Tt is the function of the women's bu- reau to collect and present facts and statistics for use in throwMg light on these problems, o cooperate With oth- er agencies in the recommendation and establishment of standards for the pro- tection and advancement of wage-earn- ing women. About such bones of legis- lative contentlon as the minimum wage, the 48-hour week, night work for Wo- men, and working conditions the bureau necessarily h formulated definite pol- icies and labelled them “the standards for women in industry.” These have been circulated until they have become nation-wide slogans.

IN THE PUBLIC EYE Central figure at the annual meeting ot the Roman Catholic Hierachy in the United States, which assembles today at the Catholic University in Washington, will be Mgr. Glovanni Bonzano, the Apostolic Delegate. Mgr. Bonzano has ‘beea the official papal representative in the United States for the past ten years. A native of Italy, he was ordained in Rome in 1890, becoming shortly after- ward Vicar General of the diocese of Vigevano. Later he became rector of cne Pontifical Urban -College at Rome, which position he held when appointed Apostolic Delegate to the United States in 1912. One month after ris appoint- ment he was consecrafed Archbishop of Mitylene. Recently it had been reported from Rome that higher honors were in store for him, with the probability that he wouid receive the red hat at the next conslstory.

Of no lews interest are standardizen working ognditlons for women wage- earners. One of the gulding principles of modern industrial engineering is that a working enviromment established on the corner stones of comfort and hy- giene, solence and sanitation, forms a strong foundation for a superstructure of efficiency. The bureau points out that as long as women work in plants grimy with the accumulation of dirt and lint, strain their eves at their jobs because ‘of glare or insufficient light, stand all day without a seat in sight, of sit continuously in a cramped posture: as long as safety is jeopardized by un- guarded. machinery or lack of fire pro tection, then some action Is necessary When health is menaced by such things s the common drinking cup and - the common towel, thers is urgent need’ for r oMer provinces of the Union. “Just as the United Statcs, a genera- tion or 6o ago, reached out to the west and made its territories, one after an- other, into states” continues the bulle- tin, “so the Union of South Africa is reaching northward—it is in that direc- tion that the course of African emipire takes its way—and is incorporating the frontier regions.
