operating more or less completely
upon a shift system. These indus
tries employ between 100000 and
100000 wage earners on shift work.
Their families constitute from 1.5O0.-

ers working on twelve-hour shifts.
They and their families number more

The Investigators noted carefully

which abandoned the twelve-hour

more than a report on the prevailing
hours in the several establishments,
where Work Never Stops.
When persons speak of hours of
labor they are thinking in almost all
cases Of the ordinary day turn. which
begins at about in the morning and
ends at from $3.50 to $50 in the after
noon. In the case of day work there
is obviously no difficulty in adjusting
the times of starting and stopping
50 as to give the desired number of
hours. What the country, in its in
terest in hours, has not realized is
that underlying the major portion of
the nations industry, which operates
only by day, there are some forty or
fifty industries where production is
carried on throughout the twenty
four hours. In these industries, the
number Of hours worked per day il
not by what would in
itself constitute the best length of
work day. but by what is possible
and practicable considering the re-
quirements that the total of all the
work periods must be an even
twenty-four hours.
Tho division of twenty-four hours
into ten or nine-hour periods is q
difficult matter. This fact, connected
with the lack of enthusiasm on the |
part of managers of continuous
operation plants. and indeed of labor |
In many instances, partly accounts :,
for the slowness with which the |
