Now that labor conditions enter TO
such an important extent into indus
trial operations, much interest at
taches to the report OF Il prominent
firm of shipbuilders in Sunderland,
England, on the result of adopting
the eight-hour SYSTEM for seven years
in their works. They hold that the
plan answers we'll; the men actually
do not lose so much time, in fact, they
work more hours than they did under
the old system. Instead of the pro-
duction of the works being less from
the apparently shorter hours OF work,
it has gradually decreased since 1891
They took up the system in the belief
that they could get the same amount
of work out of their men by better
method. OF the men working on time
wages fifteen or twenty per cent. lost
the first quarter of the day, while the
piece mer scarcely ever started before
$50 under the old method. The men
started at o'clock, stopped at s for
half an hour for breakfast; had an
other interval of an hour at noon, and
the days work was finished at ..
The conditions were such that many
workmen we're physically incapable OF
enduring the long hours. 1t was quite
a common thing for man to lose
three-Quarters of a week because he
could nos keep up the e",ly rising
neces sary for the 8 o'clock start and
work full time. Under The forty-elght
hours system the men have an early
breakfast and start work at 7.30, going
on with only one break until 5 O'Clock.
They thus do more work themselves,
besides getting more work out of the
machines, the results being an in
c,,a%ad output and decreased cost.
Curer The Old system the men hardly
veg. Fl ii,e hours work a day. The
reluet las attracted great attention
among ENg!isA employers of labor,
wi.a whom the ''eight hours a day"
al .,ay h.ca burning question.
