A Plan for StabiIixins Labor.


In view of the general tendency in
industrial centers to restrict output
in the spirit Of the general defiation
process that is helping to put the
country back upon sound economic
basis, the question of unemployment
is likely to present itself. Detroit.
through its mayor, has presented q
plan for factories to distribute the
burden of curtailed production
among all employees by reducing the
working time. keeping as many en-
ployees as are willing to work fewer
hours for less pay during the period
of uncertainty.
The chief virtue of this plan--which
