.FWE-DAY WEEK
MAKING PROGRESS
Bankers Declare Building In
/ duStry Is Headed for 40
] Hour Schedule.

4 The five-day week is now making
rapid progress in the building industry
throughout the United States, and it
seems a matter of comparatively short
time before substantially the entire In
dustry will be operating on this basis,
S. w. Straus g. Co., bankers, declared
today, following completion of a ma
tional survey.
From an economic standpoint the
most important current development in
the building industry in this country is
the rapid drift toward the five-day
week" says the report. Following its
recent adoption by the 10000 brick
layers in New York City, evidence is at
hand indicating the possibility of the
entire industry in the metropolis adopt
ing the short-week schedule.
According to G. G. Norman, chair
man of the board of directors of the
New York Building Trades Employers
Association, the 10000 building crafts
men in New York and immediate
suburbs will be on the f1ve-day schedule
by January next. This. he estimates,
will add approximately $4,000, 900, or
per cent, to New York's annual build
ing bill.
Chicago Has Shcrt Week.
ain Chicago plasters and painters are
now on the Short-week basis, and in
other trades the schedule will be one
OF the major points of discussion on
new wage agreements June l.
st. Louis comes nearer being COM
plletely on the five-day plan than any
other American city. The following
building trades are now operating on
it there: Carpenters, plaSterers, cement
flniShers, elevator constructors, electric
workers, fathers, sheet metal workers,
plumbers, steamf1tters, asbestos workers
and all craftsmen connected with the
painters trade.
1.-THE five-day week is gaining con-
siderable Roadway on the Pacific Coast.
particularly in San Francisco, Port
land and Seattle, but has made no ap-
preciable progress in Los Angeles be-
cause Of the open-Shop basis.
Considerable progress Is reported in
various other important building CEN
tiers in all parts Of the country.
Costly to Building.
"The adoption nationally of the 40
hour week schedule would add close to
a quarter of billion dollars to the
annual building program unless greater
labor efficiency through mechanical in
novations can be developed. 1t seems
I
builders that this can be accomplished
only in part.
oscar w. RoSenthal, official spokes-
man for contracting interests in Chi
cago, voices the belief that the 40-hour
week schedule will prove a serious
handicap to the industry as it will
prolOng the period of construction on
large operations. Builders will then be
faced with the alternative of meeting
heavy overtime charges or of not being
able to get their jobs completed for the
May / or october rental periods.
Eastern contractors generally express
the point of view that the effect Of the
fve-day week cannot be offset by in
creased efficiency, inasmuch as con-
Struction is now about as efficient as
possible. They see, in effect, that the
recent New York agreement between
contractors and bricklayers is virtually
O foreruner Of Nationwide move
ment toward a shorter work week"

As Buccaneers Increase Lead

assed them at the Polo Grounds a
month ago, when he shut them out
without safety. Eight hits and
runs sent Master Hubbell Showerward
at the end of three innings, and Bur-
leigh Grimes seemed to have q breeze
for his eleventh straight. After q
sixth-inning blow-up netting the Giants
5 runs, however, he was In danger Of
acquiring his first defeat until Grant
hams single and Otis tumble enabled
Traynor to score from first base with
the winning run in the ninth.
The Cubs defeated the Phillies, by
Z to 3 in Chicago as the Robins and
the Reds lay idle in a Cincinnati rain
storm. Malone famed IL Phils, run
ming his mark to So. The best in his
league.
Action on the American League
front further improved the standing
of the Athletics, who exacted more toll
from the hapless White Sox as the
Browns turned upon the Yankees after
three straight rebuffs. This combina-
ton of events increased the lead of
the Mackmen to eight games, a tidy
nest egg to hold against the forthcom-
ing series Of battles against the cham
pions.
Easy for WaIberg.
connie MaCk employed RUDE wal
berg to clinch his third triumph over
the White Sox. Rube took the game
in his stride and won by to g. Aided
by Al Simmons fourteenth home run.
The defeat of the Yankees may be
attributed in part to Miller Higgins
daring in exposing Myles Thomas to
enemy fire in a starting role. Myles
escaped with his life for two rounds,
but the Browns cornered him In the
third when seven hits netted eight runs
and the ball game which eventually
was won by to 4.
Fred Heimach rushed to Thomas
rescue just in time to see George Blae-
holder, the st. Louis pitcher, cap the
assault with a home run with two
Brownies aboard. Blaeholder held the
champions to eight hits all told, but
permitted Lou Gehrig to register his
fifteenth home run in the eighth.
Washington pitching again faltered
at the Capital yesterday and Cleveland
defeated the home team bv 8 to S.
Willis Hudlin also had his troubles, but
Joe Shaute rescued him in time. The
Indians hammered away impartially at
the Messrs. Burke, Beall and Brown.
The Red Sox and Tigers enjoyed an
open date.
