STWROT:  1.  2.  3.  4.  luei VDU hou Inquest of the Now erm UWrI YPre TaTè of Springfiild, ime. overt omploy women inspectors  men's .3rynoh, In a memorandum of ugust 20, 1918, from the , to the tment Industrial Service Scotion, Ordnance Depar , Woman in Industry Service, Department of Labor it was recommended that the permit allowing not more than five (5) hours overt me per week per worker for rlot more than eighty (80) women workers, be granted to the Sow England .viesting al house Company in reponse to their request for a renew of the permit previously grnted. It was ft).rther reco,-tmended in :Paragraph 9 of the Memorandum of iligust 20th tat "the Wja.n'r Brvioh make an investigation of the situation tel tins to the use of women on overtime inspection at the USW England westinghouse Company at the expiration of the two months (or about October 24th) and report to the Woman in Industry Service the progress which the firm is making in regrd to eliminating the necessity of overtime inspection by women." In accordance with thie reoommenda'ion an investigation was made September 30th by Miss Susanne Wunder, representative of the Women's 3ranoh, assigned to the 3oston District °Moe. ( A copy of her rerort is lerewith attached.) A copy of a letter dated October 4th 1918, from the Sew England ;()stinghouse Company, signed by George S. Law, ALsistant to General Attorney, is herewith attached, as Supplementing and endorsing the facts stated in Mies Wunder's report of September 30th.   https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis  5.  Attention is drawn to the following sLlient facts in the present situation: (a)  AgpuNT o  amnrw.  1 4ilerency InThe teLparary permit issued by the War , 21st August Massaehusetts of dustrial eighty of (d0) stployment allowed a total overtime hunfour of total a girls five (5) hours a week, or dred (400) hours overtime per week. mot 1 overtime in five-week period beginning Augtst 21st allowed under terms of permit (80 girls 5 hours a reek) would be 400 honrs x 5 weeks, or 2000 hours overtime. Overtime actually worked in five-week period beginning August 21st totals 2482 hours. MOTE: Excess of 482 hours beyond total allowed by permit. (See attached letter of New England ;iestinghouse company of October 24th.) (b) NITI:137Y. OF  OR/311/3 AFFECTED  Under the terms of the permit not more than eighty girls were .to i)e emrloyed per week on overtime inspection; that is nJt more than 400 girls in a fiveweek period. Total number of women actually employea on overtime inspection during five-week period beginning :mgust 21st was 596. NOTE: Number of inspectors em loyed overtime in excess of permit was 196. (0)   https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis  SUNDAY '.4;010C. It has been ascertained th,t on ine Sunday during this period forty-eight (48) women were emrloyed at the rate of 6.33 hours each, or a total of 304 hours. This Sunda - work was carried on without a permit although the representative of the New England Westinghouse Company had been informed in the office of the War Industrial Emergency Commission at a conference held July 24th at which a representative of the t,omen's Branch was present, that workers could not oe employed on  •  - 3'. Sunday without a special permit; bnd that in the event of an emer„;ency the company should telephbne immediately to the War Emergency Industrial Commission requesting such permit. (d)  ;NT. EIVI7r7., According to the stutement of the Company, there is now "sufficient machinery rid. equirment to make Aloo guns a day, but with the additional equipment and spare parts required oy the Government the equipment is not suffioinat to produce that ntuber of guns ;.nd are parts and equipment required." also the  (e)  q7,1:S2 ?CM INC  )V  R.21,LE*  Attention is called to Paragraph 2 of the attached letter fron the New England oestinghouse Company, where it is state* on the advice of the Production Department "that the necessity for overtime employment of women inspectors will c.mtinue so long as we are eng[ged in producing the maehine guns on a quantity basis; that is, there will inevitaoly be low points in the work frwr time to time due to delays in receiving material and falling off of isoduction in some departments." Attention is also drawn to the lat pa*, grarli, where it is stated: "In view of the necessity of the situation. at disclosed oy the ,ctual overtime, it seems to me that when I apply for an exteusiJn of the perlait, the number of hours asled for should be increased." From the above stctements it is understood thtt the New England Westingh:Juse Company is not making a special effort to do away with the necessity of overtime employment of women, but that on the contrary it would seem that the wort is being planned:an the basis of the convenience afforded by the issuanoe of an iadefinite number of sueoeeding temporary permits. 6.  The 'omen's araneh therefore recommends: That the War Depa*tment advise the War Emergency Industrial Commission of L:assachusetts to issue a temporary permit for two weeks, allowing not more than a total of four hundred (400) hours overtime rer week, affecting not more than eighty (80) women inspectors per week; advising the Company that during this two-meek period it should take steps to eliminate the necessity for further Yvertime of women inspectors, inasmuch as the War Department will not reco mend a renewal of the permit.   https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis  CURI I.

This recomendation is deemed by us to be in the best interests of production. Prsvinus reports on this slant indicate an attitude on the part of the menaercent which does not promise well for the pro it fulfillzant of its eontr%cts, an it is quite possible Vat the ErAnting of a permit which encourages the plant to make good on its own deficiencies by orerti e Nork of the women is an encoura went of an ineffisi ciencv whieh has serious results for this imoortant proluct.
