Washington D. C.-Strong opposi-

Transportation Bill back to conference
was voiced by George M. Harrison,
president of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Clerks, on the ground that such
action would be likely to prevent en-
actment of the legislation at this ses-
sion of Congress. He said the bill pro-
poses equality of regulation and treat
ment of the several methods of trans
portation and would improve the in
terests of the 100000 railroad and ex-
press employees for whom he spoke.
"Unregulated, subsidized water and
motor carrier transportation is taking
heavy toll of railroad employment
and business" he declared. "It is esti-
mated that 10000 railroad jobs have
been lost because Of present unfair,
discriminatory transportation policies
and lack Of Federal regulation of these
other modes of transportation. There
is no danger to railroad employment
in this bill, but on the contrary it
should benefit it,"

Fourteen Cities
Satisfied With
Five-Doy Week
ErnploYe Morale Reported
To Be Improved BY Short
or Work-Week

Chicago QLNs). - Satisfactory
working out of five-day, 40-hour
week for municipal employees, adopted
by at least ID cities during the past
seven years, is reported in survey by
the international City Managers AS
ISOLATION
Six of the cities adopted the shorter
work week in 1882 and 1888. They
were in Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee
and Seattle, which applied the five-day
week to all employees except police
men and firemen; and Sacramento and
Schenectady, which applied it only to
laborers working for the city.
In the following five years, all en-
ployes of Minneapolis, San Francisco,
Escanaba, Mich, Reading, Pa, Rock
ford ILL.,, and the Los Angeles Board
of Education went on such a schedule,
while Everett, Wash, and Cincinnati
introduced the fve-day week for labor
ers and certain other employees.
The earlier adoptions of the short
week occurred when cities tried to off
set necessary wages and salary reduc-
tions with reduced working hours. In
nearly all of the cities reporting, pay
cuts were later restored, but tn e
shorter work week was retained.
The five-day week has improved en-
ploye morale, according to the cities
reporting. All say the plan is work
ing satisfactorily. The output per en-
ploye in Schenectady, for example, is
reported as great as that for the five
and one-half day week because en-
ployes seem to make greater effort
to get their work done.
