FORD'S FIVE-DAY WEEK

The national Association of Manufacturers has ob- taned the views of considerable number of presidents of American manufacturing establishments MT. Fords fve-day week plan These opinions and conclusions in holding that the plan will not work because,
 O It would greatly increase the cost of living;
 (2) It would increase wages generally by more than 15 per cent and decrease production;
 (3) It would be impractical for all industries;
 (4 It would create craving for additional lux uries to occupy the additional time;
 (5) It would mean trend toward the arena that is excessive amusement;
 (6) It would be against the best interests of the men who want to work and advance;
 C7) It mig ght be all right to meet sales emergency but would not work out permanent thing;
 (8) It would make more vulnerable to the eco- homie onslaughs of Europe now working hard she can to overcome our lead
 One of the striking contributions to this symposium is that of Charles Cheney, of South Manchester Conn., the rest of the world in the matter of efficiency but it can easily sacrifice it by letting down upon its eff ciency.'
 Nothing could be unsound than the policy of ducng output he says It strikes at the very root of American prosperity. Great Britain will be eliminated in its struggle to maintain it's place in world commerce. if it continues to be hampered by the policy of reduced pro- ducton and declining efficiency
 Thus the plan does not appear to meet with favor among manufacturers They assert that they oppose it, not because they wish to deny wage rest and recreaon but because it may materially nure the United States industray and perhaps put America be- hind in the race for trade and commerce.
