ARRANGING HOURS OF WORK


In the course Of his remarks to q
senate committee on the Impossibility
OF applying rigid rules or instanta-
neous legislation to labor matters Mr..
Hoover cited the eight-hour day Ques-
ton as an example
That is not matter OF universal
application In some industries eight
hours is too long a day.
Nobody doubts that and II Is equal
" certain that in some industries
eight hours is too short a day. The
number of hours at which 6 man can
turn out the largest amount of good
work without unreasonable fatigue
must be determined by tests In each
line Of business.
In Cleveland last october the thou
sand employees of large machine
factory petitioned their employers to
reduce the hours OF work from ten
to nine without change Of pay, agree
ing that if at the end of six months
production was found to have fallen
off the extra hours labor would be
resumed. The experiment was salts
factory to both sides. Speeding up in
nine hours did the work that once
took ten.
Now the same employees ask that
their hours be reduced to eight day
and a similar six months test to be
used. They feel that they can do in
eight hours the work which once con-
sumed ten. The employers have con-
sented and next autumn we shall see
whether the workmen have oyeresti-
mated their abilities, The only risk
of loss in such experiments as these
is taken by the employer when he
agrees to a test which lasts so long
as six months.
Only by such practical means can
the proper number Of working hours
be determined-Sun and New York
Herald.

EIGHT HOURS
Great Aid to Peace in Eng
land

New York.-Peace has existed IN
the British iron and steel industry for
several years, said Whiting Williams.
Of Cleveland, on his return from Eng
land, after spending three months
working as an unskilled laborer in the
South Wales coal mines and at various
docks, ship yards and steel plants
throughout Great Britain in order to
get view of British labor conditions
Mr.. Williams has had similar eX-
perience in the United States.
"In the American steel mills" said
the investigator, 81 was much struck
with what should be called the 'un-
heavenly twins Of tiredness and tenn
per That is mainly because Of the
12-hour turns which still are pretty
general in this country's steel max
ing. This has been done away with
in Britain since March, 1919. Most
steel plants also close down there fot
the week end. | was much surprised
to find that the blast furnaces, which,
in the nature of the case, must be
operated continuously, if at all, have
there been on the eight-hour shift
since 1897 Industrial relations in
the steel and iron field are among the
most satisfactory of any in Britain
and have been SO for many years"

Labor unrest il cspe coIony.

Labor unrest has acted as a check
to business generally, apart from the
direct loss resulting from the strikes
which have occurred recently, says
the national bank trade report dealing
with conditions during last year The
most serious Of these was amongst the
native workers on the Transyaal gold
mines, In which some 10000 natives
were at one time Involved In Cape
town much Inconvenience was caused
by a lightning strike" on the part Of
the tramway employees, which result
ed In the service being suspended for
four days A few factories dependent
upon electric energy from the tram
way station had to close down for the
time being. This general unrest is
attributed mainly to the increasing
cost OF living and the persistent de-
mand by labor for shorter working
hours,

PR0FIT-SHARING
NOT SUFFICIENT
Inadequate Remedy for Indus

Vr0oman.
PUTS FORWARD ANOTHER PLAN

ing Public Given Representation on
Committees and Boards-Rghts of

Capital and the Workers Protected.
Carl Vrooman, who used to be as
sistant secretary of agriculture, had
something to say the other day about
the sharing of the profits of indus
try. He went one step further than
most, but he agreed in substance with
Hoover and the other members Of the
recent Industrial conference ia saying
that the usual protit-sharing plan is
not an adequate remedy for industrial
unrest
lie thought such plans, at best, were
palliatiyes devices for keeping the
worker from getting sore at the man
or corporation that employs him.
Il would propose" he said, that
business men continue to manage en-
terprises as at present except for two
things;
First, let labor and the purchas-
Ing public have minority representa-
tion on all committees and boards.
Second, after a reasonable wage
has been paid to capital in the shape
of dividends on capital stock (risk Of
the business and depreciation being
taken into accounD, let all surplus
profits be divided among capital, man
agement, labor and the purchasing
public.
BY creating sinking funds from sur
plus profits (for protection In lean
years. It would be feasible to provide
for the sharing Of losses as wen as
profits by the public and By labor
The public's representation could be
provided through governmental ap-
poinment and the public's participa
tion in profits could be arranged
through price reductions"
Mr. Vrooman thinks that such a
plan. carefully worked out would do
away with two present evils prof
iteering and the domination Of labor
BY capital
The great weakness OF the system as
it now stands, thinks Mr. yrooman, Is
that the workers really are without
representation. Higher wages and sim
pie prohtsharing schemes viii NO

ONE REASON WHY.
Congress Needs Some New Life,
 Roll Call Indicates.

In the congress of the United States, theoretically representative assembly, there are Z6O lawyers. The bankers are generously represented, and so are the packers and the food gamblers. The steel trust, the sugar trust, the lumber trust, the mine owners, are more than adequately represented
 For two years the people have been vainly demanding remedial legislation and protection against shameless extor- tlon, but to date not one really con- structive act has been approved by the national legislature. Many bills have been introduced in the interest of the various large combinations of capital, and it is never difficult for the power tul financial group to secure respect full hearing.
 Capital gets consideration because it has sent its representatives to the law making body. The people do not get a hearing because they have not more than a score of representatives who are con- sistently loyal to their interests.
 Recognition of the utter hopelessness of getting the government back to the foundation established by the fathers has inspired widespread and growing demand for more representative con- gress, and the dominating tho4ght of the day is that if we are to be real democracy the workers and the farmers must control the government.
 Those who produce the wealth that enables the lawyers, the bankers, the trust barons, and the mine operators to go to congress are adequately repre- sented.' And here is to be found the serious defect i'll our system and the real cause of the multiplying ills that affict the antion.
The Connecticut labor press., 1920-03-20
THE TRUST DECISION.
Did Trade Reasons Affect Ruling
 on Steel Combine?

Public policy and trade, rather than law, caused the United States supreme court to refuse to dissolve the steel trust.
 This claim is made not by "agitators who would overthrow the government, ' but by three members of the court who dissented from the majority opinion.
 Associate Justice Day made this singing comment on the majority opin- ion, which was agreed to by Justices Pitney and Clarke:
 "As 1 understand the conclusions of the court affirming the decree directing dismissal of the bill, they amount to this: That these combinations, both the holding company and the subsidiaries which comprise it, although organized i'll plain violation and bold defiance of the provisions of the act, nevertheless are immune from a decree effectually ending the combinations and putting it out of their power to attain the unlaw- tul purpose sought, because of some reasons of public policy requiring such conclusion.
 T know of no public policy which sanctions violation of the law, nor of any inconvenience to trade, domestic or foreign, which should have the ef- feet of placing combinations which have been able to thus organize one of the greatest industries of the country in de- fiance of law, in an impregnable position above the control of the law forbid dding such combinations.
 Such conclusion does violence to the policy which the law was intended to enforce, runs counter to the decis- ions of the court, and necessarily results in a practical notification of the act itself"
