To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The bad effects of night work on health have been especially ob- served in women workers, with their greater sus- ceptibility to illness (41). What is a physical tax on man is a physical surtax on woman, and it cannot be allowed that this foi^n of burden is justifiable even in the emergency of war. I have shown that night work is characterized by certain distinctive features: It imposes on a phjrsiological organism attxmed to one sequence of NIGHT WORK AND DAY WORK 71 events a diflferent and ab...normal sequence; it is characterized by greater fatigue than is day work; it is interrupted by sleep; its curve of output falls off at an excessive rate in the morning hours; its total output is less than with day work; its acci- dent rate and its proportion of lost time are in excess over those of the day; it has a deleterious effect on health. All these features are inimical to a high degree of efficiency. The case against it appears to be black. How can its evils be lessened? The British Committee (38) has suggested one plan, and that is by making it not continuous, week after week, but alternating periods of night work with periods of day work.
