Hours of La Dor.

william Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, has said
that the five-day working week is
both practical and possible" He
might have gone further and said that

work day and six days week Of it
for labor smack now almost of the
dark ages. ..

much or more of given commodity
with shorter hours of labor, 1t seems
reasonable that the wage of labor
should not be cut with decrease In
the working hours. Industry Is gov.
erned by the laws Of supply and de.
