Paperback, [EAN: 9781331311188], Forgotten Books, Forgotten Books, Book, [PU: Forgotten Books], Forgotten Books, Excerpt from Fourth Report of the Factory Investigating Commission, 1915, Vol. 2: Report of Wage InvestigationThe horrible loss of life in the Triangle fire, four years ago, roused the people of New York State to demand protection for the workers. The Factory Commission was then appointed to study and recommend measures for safety. It was soon found that other dangers besides the fire hazard menace the life and limbs of employees - unguarded machines that mangle fingers just a trifle slow, dust and poisonous vapors that clog the lungs and dim the eyes. For these, too, safeguards were prescribed.But not all working people are killed outright by violence or industrial diseases. Perhaps most of them are worn out by long hours of toil with insufficient rest. This is especially true of women and children. Until recently, the United States was the only civilized country that permitted women to work at night. The Factory Commission stopped that here, and further limited the hours of labor for children. It also insisted that wherever possible, one days rest in seven should be allowed to every person.Yet, what is the use of demanding safe and sanitary factories, if the men who work in them cannot earn enough to support their families in health and comfort? It seems rather futile to protect a girl from the evil effects of fatigue and overtime, if her wages for the hours prescribed will not enable her to live decently and have proper clothing. So the Commission was continued for the purpose of inquiring into the wages of labor throughout the State and into the advisability of fixing minimum rates by law. In order to conduct this investigation, power was granted to subpoena witnesses and to examine all books and papers pertaining to the inquiry.In the summer of 1913 a Director and an Assistant were appointed, and detailed arrangements for the work were begun the middle of August. Four weeks were then spent in outlining plans. The methods and results of recent wage investigations were studied, and a preliminary survey was made of conditions An four low paid trades.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
