Fails To Increase
Industry, Is Report

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 25.--A govern
ment committee which has investigated
the operation of the eight hour law en-
acted by the Liberal Socialist Eden
government has just recommended that
the law be suspended and revised. 1t
advocates that the length of the work
ing da" should be made dependent upon
mutual agreement between employ
ers and employees and that some provi-
sion be made for longer working hours
under certain circumstances.
The committee was unanimous In
finding the expectation of the meas
ure would encourage industry on the
part of the workers has not been real
lied. 1t reports that in no single line
of work have the employees shown any
greater efficiency or energy, that there
has been considerable decline in pro-
duction, 1t says that several big
plants are on the verge of closing
down because they can not be made
to earn profits owing to heavy charges
for increased housing facilities for
workers higher pay rolls and the high
cost of machinery.
The committees investigation covered
a period OF eight months. Under the
law heavy fines on employers were au-
thorized for infringement and councils
of employers. employees and government
representatives were established under
the law.
When the measure was introduced
Hjalmur Branting, the Socialist leader
and labor leaders declared 1t would not
reduce production.
