by the Illuminating engineering
society, which has general offices
in New York, and of which F. IL
Murphy, who la: with the Port
land Railway, Light Power com
pany In Portland, is thi Oregon
represantative. j;
The report urges that! the leg
(!ature enact laws to remedy the
situation. ; Many accidents and
physical weaknesses that come up
on workers, it is claimed! are due
to improper lighting. I
Eleven .Plants Examined
"A survey! of II typical indus
trial plants in this state, cover
ing 33 different departments and
representing; 1338 employes
shows that 73 per cent had no
exit lights and 64 per cent had no
stair lights." the report says.
Furthermore, in. none of the cas
es which did hars stair ! or exit
lights, were these lights- Inde
pendent of other lighting, Host
of the plants included in this sur
rey are therefore operating In
violation of section 2. chapter
181, of the general laws of Ore
son for 1919. and oirule 9 of
the general lighting Trules pre
pared incompliance with this act.
"The ' daylight condition In
these plants seems to be fairly
satisfactory in the majority .of
oases. Ninety-four per cent of
the departments visited had light
ing from the side windows, while
9 per cent had saw tooth or mon
itor lighting, and 51 per cent of
the side windows were registered
as of large area. A commenda
ble feature Js the fact that 83 per
cent of the window lighting
reported as clean.
Articiflal light Poor
"On the othr hand, the arti
ficial lighting does not appear in
anything like the! same favorable
light. In 82 per cent of the 13 e
partments i 1 Investigatfcd barr
lamps were being used. This
means that glare exists to a
greater or less extent In 82 per
cent of the cases, although In the
investigation apparently this con
dition was not fully recognized,
for. the surrey; sheets show only
30 per cent as having excessive
glare and an additional 9 per
cent as having some glare. ,
