SWEDEN'S EIGHT HOUR
DAY WILL CONTINUE
FOR 3 MORE YEARS

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 20.-Sweden's
eight hour day, acceptable to the la
boring element, but not popular with
employers, will be continued under a
provisional law for the next three
wears, if the recommendation just
made by the social board is accepted
by the government
The social board, assisted by the
board of trade and the delegation
working for international social legis-
lation, was instructed by the govern
ment to investigate the general effec-
tiveness of the eight-hour day in
Sweden, and now reports that the time
is not ripe either for permanent enact
ment or adjustment, recommending,
therefore, that the provisional meas.
ure be continued for another three
years.
Swedish employers have in general
opposed the establishing of uniform
short day on the ground that the cost
of production has been increased, and
that it has led to difficulties in thost
industries where the output fluctuates
where production is intense during
some weeks and slack during others
Similar disadvantages have arisen in
all seasonal trades.
A peculiar circumstances in this
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-11-20

country is that, owing to the latitude,
the days are unusually long in summer
and short in winter. Thus where work
can be done in daylight, as in the
building trades, the eight-hour day
works hardship for the employer and
limits the amount of building possible
during the year.
Keeping the above objections in
mind, the social board has recon-
mended that the hours of overtime
allowed be increased from 20 pet
month to go, and from 120 per year
to $50. With this flexibility in the
law it is believed the disadvantages
of more rigid system can be OBJ.
waited.
The workers declare that the la.
Dor efficiency has increased under the
provisional law. They are enthusias
tic over the better standard of living
which it has brought, giving them
more time for social and domestic
life, as well as for study, recreation
and general self-improvement.
