I ing of hours over extended periods
provisions which have so largely
defeated spreading the work? In
the forthcoming revision of the
codes, will you strike out such pro-
Yisions?"
In this speech, Green did not so
much as mention by one word that
hours should be reduced with cor
responding wage increases.
The Black Bill
Green made an extended cam
! paign for the Black Connery
! Thirty-Hour Bill. He made a
lengthy statement in its favor on
Jan. 5, 1888. at the hearing before
the Judiciary Committee of the
United States Senate.
At this hearing, Green, in his
lengthy speech, said not a single
word in favor of the thirty hour
week without reduction in pay. The
Black Bill, which Green endorsed
without any criticism, provides only
that no article shall be shipped in
interstate commerce 'in which
any person was employed or per-
mitted to work more than five days
in any week or more than six hours
in any day." For violation, a 5000
fine is provided.
The Black Bill makes no mention
of wage increases. 1t would mean,
if put into effect, that the workers
would receive a wage cut with the
shortened hours. 1t is an out and
out stagger plan, share the work
proposal, which would take workers
off relief and put them to work on
part time, at even less wages. 1t
would not solve the problems of the
millions now totally unemployed, or
the millions now already on part
time work, who could not share the
work" with anybody.
What About Wage Increases?
Green testified in this senate
hearing, Let us see what could
be done with this situation if we
would apply the shorter work day
and the shorter work week-the re-
employment of at least 6,500,000 by
shortening work hours to thirty per
week is an essential basic adjust
ment for future progress" (Pg. IL
Judiciary Conn.,
Green, in fact, in his testimony,
uncritically and approvin G ly,
quoted the platforms of both the
Republican and Democratic parties,
showing that they both favored the
reduction of hours and the shorter
work week (neither, of course, men
tioning corresponding increase in
wages.
Green did not mention wages at
all until he was asked by Senator
Black-"In most of the instances
where there have been voluntary re-
auctions in hours, there has been
a proportionate decrease in wages,
has there not?" Green replied, Eyes,
think there has, although I have
reports of some industries that have
not reduced wages"
Not only did Green favor the re-
duction In hours without mention
ing higher pay, he laid down the
line that the employers will vol
unfairly increase pay because the
