LaGuardia Says 100000
Will Benefit by Cut in
Working Week
BY REPRESENTATIVE
FI0RELLA LAGUARDIA
Of New York City

If we can reduce the work
ing week from six days to
five days, under the present
production of the country, we
can put 100000 men at work.
You say, where will it come
from? From the industries,
of course. Just part of the
overhead cost of production.
The prosperity Of the country
is not necessarily measured by
the stock ticker.
American Standard
The prosperity Of this country
is measured by the number OF
happy homes with workers in
them earning sufficient money
to live up to the American stand
ard and to give their children
a happy and wholesome child
hood.
That is the American stand
ard and that is the test Of our
country's prosperity.
We must, therefore, start with
the five-day week. How can the
Government do it?
I concede We can not legis-
late that because of the limited
powers under the Constitution,
but we can start in this way:
First, place all Government
contracts for materials. for sup
plies for ships, and for build
ings on a five-day-a-week basis.
Rails On This Plan
Legislate the railroad on a
five-day.a-week basis.
Close the Federal Reserve
banks, the postoffices, and Gov
ernment offices on Saturday;
use the power of taxation or
grant a benefit to employers
who go on a five-day basis.

Reductions in the number of

WORKERS GLAD
PAY SLASHES
HIT SNAG
Finance Rider May Garry
Cut, But Clerks Look to
ByrnS for Relief

The legislative situation as
it affects Federal employees
looms brighter as the week
closes today, with unfavorable
bills apparently shelved per-
manently and bills to improve
working conditions gaining
greater support where support
counts most.
Government workers breathed
easier this week upon learning
that the House Committee had
tabled four salary.cut bills, so
they likely will not come up again
this session Of Congress.
Test on Monday
Unless a salary-reduction rider
Is attached to the appropriation
bills for the various departments,
wage cutting by Congress Is not
expected.
The test of this rider method
will come Monday, when the
House Appropriations Committee
takes up its first departmental
appropriation bill, that for the
Agricultural Department.
Representative Joseph Byrns
ODD, Tennessee, is chairman and
William r. Wood (R0, Indiana,
Is ranking minority member Of
this committee.
Byrns has come out strongly
against wage cutting; Wood
wants wages cut, but Byrns has
greater influence.
Favorable Bills
Meanwhile, the Civil Service
Committee also will take up next
week various other bills, calling
for q five-day week, optional re.
tirement, compulsory 30-day an
nual and 30-day sick leave with
extra 30-day sick leave if needed;
classification of field services, i'm
proved retirement features, and
other measures sponsored by Fed
