WOMEN START STATESURVEY Business Group Seeks Data on Factory Work Through cooperation of Indiana manufacturers the Business and Professional Women’s organization of the State is making a survey of industrial conditions through the questionnaire method. Members of the personnel research committee, appointed by the Business and Professional Women’s Indiana Federation, are: Chairman M. E. Hoagland, Louise Ross, Dr. Marie Kast, Indianapolis: Mrs Alice Thumma, Anderson; Hattie L. Karn, Ft. Wayne; Helen Dernbach, South Bend; Mary E. Grover, Terre Haute, and Catherine Hersher, Evansville. Concerning legislation the organization favors as short a working week as the service of the community requires for industrial production and commerce, trusting to policies permitting workers sharing benefits made possible through improvement of machine, a letter accompanying the questionnaire states. It points out that wages are usually determined on the basis of hours or piece rates and workers having dependents are most affected when the volume of a day’s production or commerce is lessened.
