EIGHT HOUR DAY
URGED
Necessity For 12-Hour Day
No Longer Exists

New York.-The economic necessity
for 12-hour day no longer exists and
new is the time, with surplus Of
labor, for steel plants to change to
three shifts, said Horace B. Drury,
economist, before a meeting of en-
gineers and techinicians.
Mr. Drury said the expense Of
changing from a 12-hour to an eight
hour shift would be slight, and that
il the entire steel industry-blast fur
.naces, steel works and rolling mills
went on three shifts without any in
crease in efficiency, it could not add
more than 3 per cent to the total cost
Of making the finished steel product.
Some Of the 20 American compan-
les that have adopted the three-shift
system in the last few years have
made no great change in operating
methods, he said, and accordingly
costs are somewhat higher than be
fore the change. But others have
taken advantage of the new system to
cut out unnecessary positions, strive
for greater output and to require
greater care on the part Of the men
The result has been that costs are
but little higher than under the old
plan. Some of the largest compan-
les, the speaker said, have increased
their labor force only 80 to 35 per
cent in putting on the extra shift.
Mr. Drury added that the human
and civic values involved in changing
from II to eight hours work are
more important than the financial and
operating difficulties Of the change.

New York-The breaking Of CON

GIRLS MUST ORGANIZE

Duluth, Minn.-The state minimum
wage commission has raised wages 81
a week, or to $12, and the Labor
World asks working girls if it is not
time for them to awake to the futility
of minimum wage laws, and the neces-
sity for trade unions.
Working girls, like working men,
should get away from the idea Of
having the state do it for them, said
the Labor World. They should learn
to do things for themselves"

depicting these conditions, he
said, for they are frankly admit
