"The inclosed leaflet, setting forth n sta(e
ment of principles by the Philadelphia
Chamber of Commerce in connection with
our city .government, is. no doubt, familiar
to oti. due to the wide publicity it has
received in the Philadelphia newspapers.
"In the propaganda for the dissemination
nf these principles, it is earnestly desired
that the clergy of the city co-operate.
"The suggestion of the Philadelphia
Chamber of Commerce is thnt It would be
most effective If all ministers would unite
in observing Sunday, May 1,8, for the dis
cussion of civic righteousness, urging upon
their congregations the necessity and effort
in order that these nil-important require
ments maynot fall of fulfillment. ,
"If compatible with your arrangement of

SHORT DAY "GOOD BUSINESS"
Eight-Hour Schedule for Women In
dorsed by Box Makers
Having formed an association for the
study of. their peculiar manufacturing prob
lems aud for co-operation witli various wel
fare organizations, the paper box manu
facturers bf Philadelphia have learned, ns
they point out in n circular letter, that an
eight-hour day for women is actually good
business for the employers. ..
For years the eight-hour principle has
been opposed in this city.
H. II. Collins, president of tlie A. M.
Collins Manufacturing' Company, a leuder in
th industry here," is" quoted, in part, ns
follows:
"Unrestricted hours of lubor, which were
allowed at first, were found to be less pro
ductive in the long run than the eight-hour
day. In eight hours ns much and often more
was produced than was possible working for
ten or twelve hours, due to suffering. Un
consciously perhaps, from fatigue during the
entire working day."
The practice in the Collins plant was to
allow two quarter-hour rest periods n day;
to give girls a glass of milk nnd a cracker
during those periods, at a cost per girl of
twenty cents a week. A marked diminution
of accidents ns well as a steady maintenance
of output, was observed as a result. Mr.
Collins is nlso ai advocate of tho minimum
wnge bill as well as of the eight-hour day.
Officers of the Philadelphia Paper Box
Association, chosen nt their first election in
March, Include: President, Frank Stone,
of the Jesse Jones Paper Box Company : vice
