INDORSE EIGHT.H0UR SHIFTS
Committee Of investigation Reports
That Labor Efficiency 10 Highly
Improved Thereby.

A committee of the Engineering
Council of the Society of American
Engineers, appointed some months ago
to make survey and report on the
effect of the three-shift workday In
the 24-hOur industries, has made a
sectional report covering the United
States except some states of the South
and the Far West. The investigation
was made under the direction of DR..
Horace b. Drury, formerly member
of the faculty of Ohio State university.
Labor efficiency, it is indicated, Is
higher with three shifts of eight hours
each than with two 12-hour shifts.
Continuous operation, according to the
report, was found to constitute a great
social and industrial problem about
which almost nothing is known by
either labor, the employers or the pub
lie. From the report the following is
taken:
"Three-shift plants have maintained
themselves in the same markets with
twO-shift plants. Even during the de-
preston of 1920-21, and the strong
temptation and tendency to link re-
duced wage rates with heightened
hours, few plants have gone back from
eight-hOur to twelve-hOur shifts.
There have been instances in all
types Of continuous industries which
have gone to three shifts with striking
gains in efficiency, either in reductions
of the number of men required per
shift, through increased output. or
through heightened efficiency in other
ways.
Taking the continuous plants as
whole, the immediate effect of going
to three shifts probably will be u sub
stantial increase In labor efficiency,
but not so great an increase-barring
exceptional plants-as to permit the
paying of as high wages as men would
receive for 12-hour work without in
creasing cost but 1t would be pos
sible, without increasing costs, to pay
men wage which, once they had be-
come used to the eight-hOur shift, they
would much prefer to the alternative
of 12-hour day and 12-hour wage"

In truth, they do die there, but not
until they are very old. The country
is Madagascar, or, more exactly, An

plateau Of Imerina. According to DR..
Estrade, the colonial physician-and
there is no reason for not believing
there Is no reason for not believing

extremely high and the mortality is
surprisingly low.

two beautiful secrets: That of the
numerous births and that Of longevity?
They would render us greater services

the bounties and other encOuragements
which the state gives to the parents Of
