SPRING DRIVE FOR REFUGEE GARMENTS
NOW ON-OLD CLOTHES DRIVE THIS WEEK
Because of the fact that certain production activities hav*
been discontinued some of the workers have inferred that th
need for Red Cross service in sewing and knitting is over. Th<
is not thecase, however, and one of the important future activi
ties of the American Red Cross is the production of refugee
garments both knitted and sewed. The Red Cross Commission
ers in Europe report that thousands upon thousands of men
women and children are actually suffering from the lack o'
clothing; and conditions are such that while the Red Cross i
planning to send much of the material that they have on hand
to be made up later by the women of Europe, at the present
time it is necessary to send many garments already made up.
The Chapters have recently been sent a production order fo;
knitted garments, and we have a request from Washington t«
produce as many garments of the simpler types as the Chapterr
are able to make before June 1st. Many of the Chapters in th*
Division are ready and willing to continue the production c'
garments and since we have a large stock of materials on hand
we are asking all the workers in the Division to concentrat
their energies for the next two months in helping the wome>
of Europe to furnish garments to clothe themelves and the
great number of children who have been left homeless mm*
fatherless. The women as well as the men will be busy in wort
that is very essential at the present time in getting the field:
ready for the crops and in rebuilding their homes.
We are asked to make only the simpler garments such as wo
men’s and children’s chemise, women’s skirts, women’s and chil
dren’s nightgowns, women’s and girl’s drawers, women’s and
children’s petticoats and children’s undershirts.
Answering the question that has often oeon asked, why the
factories are not given this work in order to give employment to
the unemployed; thepresent plan is to give the more difficult
garments such as boy’s suits, girl’s dresses and men’s ifetrte
which require much more time In making, to the JMttVfea- A<
the present time, however, the factories are not able to take oi
very much of this work. »
And—don’t forget your bundle of old clothing that will he';
too! Phone 136 and someone will call for it.

WILL MAKE
INDUSTRY’SAFE
How safety work will be carried on
by the Working Conditions Service,
Department of Labor, is explained in
a circular' letter and ''pamphlet now
■'eing sent to thousands of- manufac
turing plants ana otner employers
‘hroughout the country.' "
One of the first steps’ Is a study .pf
he dangers in certain industries and
♦he formation of safety regulations
hat wiH eiminate much of the haz
ard/ The .service-.will also encour
age experiments an safety appliances
and practices and-the interchange of
aafety Ideas in Industry.
In ' etablishments where exceptional
dangers are an integral part of indus
try, Such as mines and explosive
-Hants, the service Is trying to develop
the best possible plans for cooperation
by safety and medical officials in the
event of emergencies.
Plans for shop safety organization
are being developed for different in
fustries and for various skilled and
•.nrkilled- trades.' ‘These- plans will be
adapted in a way suited -’to''diversi
fied nationalities in different stages of
Americanization, where this is neces
sary. - "*«
Record cards, survey forms, filing
systems, .charts, and, anaiyt.cat pro
der that safety engineers may have
uinform systems for collecting and
nterpretlng data, on plant hazards
and injuries. .
Systematic elimination of the prin
cipal dangers itr industry, and pro
tects n for workers generally, comes
within the field of the service. A wider
program of education through publi
cations, conferences, lectures, and or
ganizations now engaged in safety
work Is contemplated.
