A comparison of the figures from these three trades taken during 1916 give most instructive results. At Woolwich, out of 634 men belonging to one society, 334 claimed sickness benefit during the year — a percentage of 52-6 ! The number of claims directly attributable to strain was 94 and the percentage 28. In the summer of 1916 no less than 11 per cent, of the members were attacked by bronchial catarrh at the same time. This was attributed to the night work. The men got very hot, and cold night... air blowing in for ventilation gave them a chill. It is significant that at Woolwich Arsenal doctors are now diagnosing Industrial Fatigue as a recognised illness. The amount paid out during 1916 in sickness benefits to these men at Woolwich exceeded by more than 50 per cent, the amount estimated by the actuaries. If the sickness rate at the Arsenal has been so high among the men it would be very interesting to have the figures for the women. They have been carefully kept by the Lady Superintendent, so that it should not be difficult to collect them.
