COSTELLO ' AND FAMILY, , . o GODFREY URGES EXAMINATIONS FOR EMPLOYEES Physical Health Should Be In vestigated, Tuberculosis Expert Says. IMPROVE EFFICIENCY OF FACTORY FORCES Slate. Commissioner Delivers Interesting Address at . Conference. Physical examination for persons seeking ' employment in factories and maintain ment of a high sanitary stan dard is a good- commercial proposi tion, for the employer, according to Jonathan Godfrey, state tuberculosis commissioner, in an address -at the second annual New England Tuber culosis conference, held today in Springfield: ; Commissioner Godfrey's address follows: i ' "Industrial disputes over hours of work and wage questions have so monopolized the public attention that one , is apt to loso sight 'of the fact that; great thought and attention is being spent on the higher problems of welfare work. "From, a moral standpoint, the first duty of jthe' manufacturer should be to safeguard the ' health and happi ness of his employes. The golden rufe, however, while - practiced by many, requires an added inducement in order to be made operative in a general way. "In these strenuous days' pf combi nations and i growth of manufacturing concerns in 'New England, one asks himself: Is the health of the employe and the community being . properly safeguarded .In a email shop em ploying less than 100 men or women the question of a possible epidemic could not' be very serious, but when one manufactory proposes to employ 30,000 men and women, questions of housing, environment, - toilet, -labilities, light and ventilation become serious matters. '' , "To one not familiar with local building laws or with the usual prac tice - of architects and engineers in these respects, the situation might ap pear serious , , , "It Is inot proposed, however, to start harewith an alarmist propagan da; quite the contrary, there being no need of anxiety on this subject, mere ly caution. Owing to the fearless agi tation of thoughtful .men and women legislators have had their attention focussed on conditions affecting labor, with th4 general result of placing up on the statute books beneficial, wise and wholesale laws which reduce and minimize evil conditlbns affecting the health. ' . . ' - . "In" the cities, . b.uilding laws and eanitafy enactments are being perfect ed and enforced, ana it is .o be hoped that the towns will eventually awake to the Importance of this class of leg islation, which should intelligently conform Itself to the efforts of pri vate enterprise'and depend upon sound medical as well as economic and hu manitarian experience. "A-, manufacturer .employing1 labor will, have greater efficiency if prbper safeguards are , -taken to protect the laborer from "-illness ' rendering his physical condition unfit for careful, productive ' work. ..In order to hold, one's .place in the van of economic manufacturing in these days, it is es- sentially neeessary that an employer of labor shall,; give careful consider ation to the study of efficiency. "When, -various economic methods in industry began to be systematized by thoughtful men, there sprang' into being what Is known as efficiency en gineering. At first large employers of labor looked : with suspicion on these new methdds, but this has radi cally changed and efficiency prob lems are now among the most import ant 'with which they have to deal. "In the army and navy, the police and "fire -departments, and some classes of : railway service,, a certain type of physical- condition Is essential. The difficulty of maintaining efficiency in such service "without proper physi cal examination is evident. - "-Moreover, it is well understood that the, hygiene of the working place is most important in determining the health : of the worker. ' To ' conserve health. " then, ' is to increase efficiency iri any occupation or any . olass of work. 1 i "Tuberculosis . of the lungs is one of the chief pauses for physical im pairment with the resulting loss 'of earning jower. When in a low phy sical condition, a workman operating an elevator, a machine tool or - other device capable of causing anaccident, is more liable through carelessness due to , his "condition, to injure him self, possibly by losing am arm or a legi ; or even , his life, than when he is physically - in good , condition, i "All manufacturers in New England arc aware that this fact has a ten dency to prevemt the reduction of the premium charged for liability labor insurance, ' - . "Does the business man fully ap preciate the importance of the health of tlie employes as a factor in indus trial efficiency? Would it not pay to have a systematic supervision of; the health of employes while at work ? Would it pay to teach employes how to safeguard their health? What could be done for the average em ploye so that -he could be financially assisted on discovering that he' had early symptoms of disease? These are important questions. "A good System of medical examin ation would be the basis of economic service to the employe,-the employer, and through them to the community, and wouId 'be a sound principle .of public policy. "To those' interested' in this subject,- it would be well to read the very interesting papers on the subject by Dr.. Theodore B. Sachs and others in the transactions of the 10th annual meeting of the National Association forthe Study and Prevention of Tub erculosis, j.-:" ..."Large expenditures by employers of labor for physical examination for Tuberculosis, and arrangements for proper, treatment of those afflicted, would not be justified in. the account ing department unless the efficiency produced would show a profit on the transact! out . - : . f "In Germany exact reports are re quired by insurance Institutions for use as data for obtaining information for the solution of such problems. The altitude of employers is generally fa vorable towards measures insuring the health of their employees. "In many firms, considerable pro gress has been made in matters of general sanitation, comfort, sickness, disability, etc, etc. Also Employes' Relief associations have been formed, usually with the co-operation and fi nancial assistance of the employers. If the majority of working men and women would join these relief asso ciations, a small per capita charge would take care of the problem, the difficulty being- that a. strong, active and healthy, person does not easily see any necessity in insuring against Tuberculosis, while the general im pression seems to be that compulsory insurance by the. State would be un constitutional, i . ' - "It is possible to conceive that a condition might exist where from lack of due diligence an unperceived epi demic of incipient tuberculosis might gain strength, and by reducing the ef ficiency of a number of workers so add to the manufacturing expense that the unit cost of the manufactured ar ticle would be materially enhanced and of course lower the profits. "While it is pretty thoroughly un derstood that compensation commis sioners would grant compensation for illness or death ' where a reasonable evidence was produced that the em ploye had been working side by side with one or more fellow employes who had Tuberculosis, is there any question but that the expenditure nec essary to prevent a case of this kind would have been justified from a purely business point, of view. "The systematic" medical examina tion of operatives by regular physi cians possessing special experience in the diagnosis of tuberculosis, has been adopted in Chicago by such well known firms as Montgomery, Ward & Co., Chicago Telephone Co., Swift & Co., Sears, Roebuck & Co., and the In ternational Harvester Co., which latter firm co-operates with its benefit asso ciation in sharing wit hthe employe the expense of sanatorium care. . Also when necessary for the care of the family. I "We " all . recollect the conditions . of the Pullman sleeping car a few years ago with: its heavy hangings,: many curtains and- usual stuffy interior. An enlightened, opinion and spread of the propaganda, for scientific cleanliness undoubtedly . had some influence in in ducing the Pullman, management to substitute for these germ carrying in teriors, the present, bright, light, clean, well ventilated' cars. Is there any question as to its economic wisdom? "It is business economy to have high ceilings, many windows,' proper ven tilation, artificial rejnoval of the prod uct of dust-producing machines, am ple light and sanitary toilet facili ties.". . , Kindred Minds. At one time ' when Napoleon was car rying out an operation which could only be accomplished, with absolute secrecy he rode one day to the head of line, where he heard a soldier sayj: j "FaltB, if I', were general in chief I know what I should do." s "Well' called Napoleon, "what would you do?" . . . The soldier unfolded his plan. It was the very one which Napoleon him self had evolved. "Rascal!" cried the general. "Will you hold your tongue?" y After the battle which had proved the wisdom of the project he sought abnt for the soldier whose mind had mirrored his. The man was dead. Ingenious Magpies. The magpie is nothing if not ingen- lous. He always barricades his bulky nest with thorn branches, so that to i plunder it is by no means an easy mat ter, hut when circumstances oblige the "pie to build in a low bush or hedge, an absence - of J lofty ' trees being a marked feature, of some northern lo calities, he; not only interlaces his home, tout also the entire bush in a most formidable manner." Nor does he stop here.': To "make assurance double sure" he fashions a means of exit. as well as an entrance to the castle', so that if disturbed lie can slip out by his back' doorway, as it were.
