      Acting on the recommen-

    

       dation
of a British government

    

       committee
investigating the

    

Line
            high incidence in white lead

    

  (5)      factories of illness among

    

employees, most
of whom

    

were women, the
Home Sec-                法规颁布

    

retary proposed
in 1895 that

    

Parliament enact
legislation

    

 (10)      that would prohibit women from

    

holding most
jobs in white lead

    

factories.  Although the

    

Women’s
Industrial Defence

    

Committee
(WIDC), formed

    

 (15)      in 1892
in response to earlier

    

legislative
attempts to restrict

    

women’s labor,
did not dis-

    

count the white lead trade’s            WIDC反对，认为是缩减女性工作机会的又一案例

    

potential health
dangers, it

    

 (20)      opposed the proposal, view-

    

       ing
it as yet another instance

    

       of
limiting women’s work

    

opportunities.  Also opposing

    

the proposal was the Society

    

 (25)      for Promoting the Employment

    

of Women (SPEW),
which             SPEW和WIDC认为生产环境是产生生病的原因

    

attempted to
challenge it by

    

investigating the
causes of ill-

    

ness in white
lead factories.

    

 (30)      SPEW contended, and WIDC

    

concurred, that
controllable

    

conditions in
such factories

    

       were
responsible for the devel-

    

opment of lead
poisoning.

    

 (35)
                SPEW
provided convincing           SPEW：工人更注意清洁现有措施更严格实施，则铅中毒将不会发生

    

evidence that lead poisoning

    

could be avoided if workers

    

were careful and
clean and

    

      if already extant workplace

    

 (40)     safety
regulations were

    

stringently
enforced.  How-

    

ever,
the Women’s Trade

    

Union League
(WTUL), which         WTUL：支持法规实施，因为现有措施得不到真正实施，且没有工会的力量施压保证安全措施

    

had ceased in
the late 1880’s

    

 (45)      to oppose restrictions on

    

women’s labor,
supported the

    

eventually
enacted proposal,

    

in part because
safety regu-

    

lations were
generally not

    

 (50)      being enforced in white lead

    

factories, where
there were no

    

unions (and
little prospect of

    

any) to pressure
employers to

    

comply with
safety regulations.
