IT The report, published in the Depart' ntent Store Number of the National CMe Federation Review, contains 000 words. Jt gives many Interesting ti illustrations of welfare features In the different stores where conditions were Investigated. The report deals with the Industrial conditions of nineteen retail firms, affiliated with the New York Retail Dry Goods Association. It la v. based en an investigation of twenty- a "aineteea flrme, in which there are.

In the Introduction to Its report the Ks tional Civic Federation says: "The department store Is an asset or our preeent-oay civilisation: It baa proved its risht to exist; ita benefits to the publlo are too many and obvious to render necessary their recital. Cnder the heading: Vexed Problem ef omen's wage," the report contains general schedule of average wages paid women employes in seventeen dc partment stores. The schedule was compiled by expert publlo accountants, enured by the National Civic Federa ls tion. who had access to the payrolls of UMse concerns, cisssincauons were siade for saleswomen, assistant buy era, employes of manufacturing depart. stents, and other female employes, the ete of Id years being ts ken as a divld Ins line.

Generally speaking the report shows mat 5S.8.. per or 3.27 of tne boot saleswomen, snd 51 33 per or KMKft of sll the 11.K.'7 women employes In seventeen New Tork department Korea l-t lees than $8 a week. Social workers maintain that a week is the lowest living; wage reasonable for a girl eatirely self-supporting in this city, while is the standard set by lnvee-neater In Boston. In one department store tt was found that no saleswoman reretree ieas then 18, while there were only i whose weekly wag was less 7 thaa fa On the other hand.

Still another store provides for its women employes an attractive solarium, while another places Its employes on the honor system, and takes especial care of Its Juniors by means of homelike club and rest rooms tinder the direction of a social worker.

In case of need.

In their homes. "Physical conditions In these department atorea conducive to the comfort of the are as favorable as those in any trade or Industry in this country. There is good reason to believe that the average is better, and. Indeed, some of the welfare work Is wonderful-There are many things that are not yet worked out In an ideal way. and some of the stores consideration for their employes are much better than others.

It Is believed, however, that those who are managing these stores do recognize their responsibility to the human element Involved in their administration to an extent: which reveals the-wage relation as the simplest part of their undertaking. There hss been a great Improvement since department storea came into existence. There is need and pporturgry for great Improvement still, but the Welfare Committee of the National Civio Federation is prepared to say that a sincere effort is. being made by all the stores covered, by this report constantly to Improve the conditions under which their employes work, and constantly to improve the relations between the management and those they employ. A number of the stores have asked the CI vie Federation to furnish them with experts to aid in working out some of the reforms suggested in this report." Perhaps the most Important "and far-reaching recommendation made; by the Civic Federation In its report 4 for a standard eight-hour work day.

The Re-tall Dry Goods Association is urged to iinnt a. nniicv of onenlnar stores at 9 o'clock, and for nine months in the year, beginning sept. is. closing at o'clock. It is suggested that the hour for cloeins; from June 15 to sept, 18 be A o'clock.

The report says that shoppers do not begin to purchase to any extent before 10:30 or 11 o'clock in the morning. It suggests that the ultimate Weal uniform work day for nine months which the report says might now bo regarded as a surgeetion too far advanced, would be from 9 M. to JaO P. with one hour for luncheon. The report also considers overtime work.

WORKING TO DO BETTER Company Hppee to Eliminate Accl-dsnta as Fr aa Poaalble-rSya- tematlc Teats of tho Crewa While 100.000.000 passengers were carried on the Pennsylvania Ban road east of Pittsburgh In the year 1912.

only a were killed in two wrecks, the only ones of the" year In which there wss loss of life. There were trains run for an aggregate distance of 40.000.0UU miles. These figures are given In a report just issued by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company with a statement that it not only has set out to reauce the relative number of accidents, but to eliminate rham a. a.r as noaalbla. An Investigation has been made of every accident that occurred on the Pennsylvania Railroad In the past year, whether It was the case of a woman tripping on Station steps, or the derailment of a passenger train.

Accidents have been analysed so that their contributing elements or cause might be determined and their recurrence prevented. The management of the company says that it regards every accident of any kind on the property of that railroad as one too many, and that the number of accidents must be out down. If there had not been a single train wreck on the Pennsylvania Railroad east of Pittsburgh in 112," reads the report. nevertheless. 23 passengers, falling off trains, walking In front of trains at stations, and getting on and off moving trains, would have Deen killed.

Twelve passengers were killed by falling from moving trains, 3 were killed while attempting to board moving trains, and 6 were struck by trains while at stations. Four passengers were killed In accidents to two trains. In the last five years passengers have been carried by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and 16 of them lost their lives in train accidents, 9 having been killed in one accident. In five years only five trains out of more than 4.000.000 operated suffered wreck which caused the death of any of the passengers carried on them. Out of til.443 men employed in train service on the Pennsylvania Railroad east of Pittsburgh, 118 were klUed during the last year, but only 17 of this number were killed In accidents to trains, freight and passenger.

There were 63.000 men employed in shops and on tracks, snd of this number 106 were killed as the result of accidents none of which was a train wreck. In other words, while 285 train, track, and shop employes of the Pennsylvania Railroad were killed, but 17, or about 6 per of them were killed in accidents to trains. The other deaths were due to trespassing, to carelessness, and in some instance to defects of shoo machinery and other unavoidable causes. Freight trains were operated on tne Pennsylvania Railroad east of Pittsburgh-for a total distance of 82,114.805 and with the passenger trains which ran over 40.000.0u0 miles, covered a total of more than 72,000,000 miles. Incidental to this operation 21 people.

4 passengers, and 17 employee were killed In accidents to trains." During last year the Pennsylvania Railroad reports that 287 trespassers were killed and 276 Injured on its lines east of Pittsburgh, while the records show that only about half this number were classified as unidentified orl tramps," others being useful citl-sens. Complete reports from every one of the roads of the Pennsylvania system show that 490 trespassers were killed in 1612. The system's report for the past thirteen years shows 9,013 trespassers killed and 8.777 injured. The greatest problem the railroad has to solve in. its efforts to conserve life Is to' And ways to protect those who won't protect themselves" tile report says.

Unfortunately, passengers, trespassers, and employes continue to sake chances with death, and the railroad is trying, with as many barriers as possible, to prevent them from risking their own lives as well as tne lives ot otners. Employes are being tralrsFtd now to guard against risks to theenselve or their fellow-employes by means of surprise held under, unusual conditions, so that they reveal Just to what extent rules are broken and risks taken. During the year 1012, 1,134.715 such tests were made, and 99.8 per cent, were reported in perfect compliance with all rules, but the remaining two-tenhs of 1 per cent, repreeenta 2.216 cases that might have, resulted in accidents." -Nun of Noble Birth Dlea.
