Acting on the recommendation of a British government committee investigating the high incidence in white lead factories of illness among employees, most of whom were women, the Home Secretary proposed in 1895 that Parliament enact legislation that would prohibit women from holding most jobs in white lead factories. Although the Women's Industrial Defence Committee (WIDC), formed in 1892 in response to earlier legislative attempts to restrict women's labor, did not discount the white lead trade's potential health dangers, it opposed the proposal, viewing it as yet another instance of limiting women's work opportunities.

Also opposing the proposal was the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women (SPEW), which attempted to challenge it by investigating the causes of illness in white lead factories. SPEW contended, and WIDC concurred, that controllable conditions in such factories were responsible for the development of lead poisoning. SPEW provided convincing evidence that lead poisoning could be avoided if workers were careful and clean and if already extant workplace safety regulations were stringently enforced. However, the Women's Trade Union League (WTUL), which had ceased in the late 1880's to oppose restrictions on women's labor, supported the eventually enacted proposal, in part because safety regulations were generally not being enforced in white lead factories, where there were no unions (and little prospect of any) to pressure employers to comply with safety regulations.

The passage suggests that WIDC differed from WTUL in which of the following ways?

WIDC believed that the existing safety regulations were adequate to protect women's health, whereas WTUL believed that such regulations needed to be strengthened. WIDC believed that unions could not succeed in pressuring employers to comply with such regulations, whereas WTUL believed that unions could succeed in doing so. WIDC believed that lead poisoning in white lead factories could be avoided by controlling conditions there, whereas WTUL believed that lead poisoning in such factories could not be avoided no matter how stringently safety regulations were enforced. At the time that the legislation concerning white lead factories was proposed, WIDC was primarily concerned with addressing health conditions in white lead factories, whereas WTUL was concerned with improving working conditions in all types of factories. At the time that WIDC was opposing legislative attempts to restrict women's labor, WTUL had already ceased to do so.

文章大意逻辑
英国政府委员会发现白铅工厂女工患病率高，内政大臣提议立法禁止女性从事多数白铅工厂工作。Women's Industrial Defence Committee (WIDC) 成立于1892年，反对该提议，认为这限制女性工作机会，虽不否认健康风险。Society for Promoting the Employment of Women (SPEW) 也反对提议，通过调查疾病原因，提出若严格执行现有安全规定和工人注意卫生可避免铅中毒。Women's Trade Union League (WTUL) 曾在19世纪80年代末停止反对女性劳动限制，此次支持该提议，因为白铅工厂安全规定未有效执行且无工会施压雇主。 文章类型及逻辑简图
文章类型：观点对比。逻辑简图： Home Secretary's proposal: Prohibit women from most jobs in white lead factories WIDC: Opposed, seeing it as limiting women's work opportunities SPEW: Opposed, evidence that lead poisoning can be avoided with enforcement and worker care WTUL: Supported, due to non enforcement of safety regulations and lack of unions 做题方法及问题类型
问题类型：细节题。做题方法：通过定位WIDC和WTUL相关内容，对比两者差异。定位提示句子为描述WIDC和WTUL观点及行为的句子。 选项分析
A选项：文中未提及WIDC认为现有安全规定足够，WTUL认为需加强，无中生有，排除。 B选项：文章未提及WIDC和WTUL对工会施压雇主能力的不同看法，排除。 C选项：SPEW认为铅中毒可避免，WIDC未提及此方面观点，且WTUL也未表明铅中毒无法避免，排除。 D选项：WIDC主要关注白铅工厂健康状况，WTUL关注所有工厂工作条件，原文未提及，排除。 E选项：WIDC在反对限制女性劳动立法尝试时，WTUL已停止反对，符合原文逻辑，当选。
