Los Angeles, Cal, Oct II (P- The national convention of the American Federation of Labor with not more than half Of it's delegates on the floor for the final session to- day. recorded it's endorsement of the principle of the tive-day work week.
 CharaCtcrizing the movement for shorter hours as the "most import ant program" before the trade uniOnists Of the nation, the commit tee on the shorter work day and week recommended that the execu- tive council continue assembling data as a foundation on which to carry on it's work. The committees report was adopted unanimously.
 The convention approved efforts of New York city frcmen's union 10 attain an eight-hour work day. The New York lircmen were reported to be working 12 hours daily.
 The long work day and week ex- istcnt in the oil fields of the nation, especially in California, where seven day weeks were declared to be re- quired, was voted to be definitely opposed by the federation. The stand was taken in the adoption Of q committee recommendation that the federation use its best efforts for an eight-hour day in the oil indus try.
 The committee report also point cd out that in several oil produc- ing states, the employees were on the general basis of 12-hour day.
