Vhat the Berlin Vorwaerts terms!
criminal sapping of tin* nation's)
trength” is revealed by tin returns
if the “labor inspectorate for Prussia’ ;
or 1917.
These statistics have not appeared
luring wartime, and Socialists have,
ong and vainly urged their re-issu
line Tin* Prussian Board of Trade
inally yielded, and last year’s figures
iave just been made public Issued
vithout text, they are eloquent in
hemselves, as they show increased
ise of tin* labor of women and ehil
Iren, which. Vorwaerts says, “will ex
ct a fearful revenge on tin* future
ace ”
Compared with prewar statistics,
male employes over 16 decreased from
.662,152 to 1,966,262. but women em
iloyes increased from 687,734 to
.240.593. employes 14 to 16 years
ild increased 280.148 to 327.904, and
hildren under 14. 3.584 to 6,012.
In engineering workshops alone the
lumber of women Increased from 51.
,13 to 327,512.
Cases of Infractions of the work
lien's protection act have grown,
ilarmlngly. By the emergency law
if 1914 employers were granted ex
•mptions which have been scanda
lously abused Cases of exceeding the
len-hour working day rule for women
ose from 3,869 to 6.198; suppressions
if the legal luncheon intervals from
3,732 to 9.292; non-observance of tin
prohibition of night work. 727 to 13.
198; and non observance of tin* pro
hibltlon of juvenile labor. 162 to
1.209.
"The number of official Inspections!
if factories having notably decreased.
It is safe to say.” adds Vorwaerts. i
'that law breaking In this respect has
issumed gigantic proportions.” and
In* paper vehemently complains of
he excessive indulgence shown to cm (
plovers l,v tin* authorities, who. for
"stance, granted permission for over
work by women to the extent of 23.
>00,000 hours, compared with 15,000,
>00 in 1916, and for night work by
women to the total of 44,000,000 hours,
’nmpared with 25,000,000.
The two-shift system is still preva
lent, while three shifts are compara
nd v rare.
Vorwaerts demands instant mean*
ires to counteract these abuses and
he abolition of the exemption law
