A & P's 5-Day, 40 Hour
Work Week in Effect

Mr.. ]. j. Byrnes, New England
President of the Great Atlantic
and Pacific Tea Company an
nounced the Inauguration of
APPS new 5-day, 48-hour week
for employees in DORCHESTER.
To-day, we put in effect" said
Mr.. ByrneS, what we believe to
be the first 5-day week and the
shortest general working hours
for store employees in any ma
jor food retailing organization.
Although our stores here will
continue to serve customers six
days a week all employees will
enjoy two full days a week of
leisure. Their pay will remain
the same as for the six-day
week. This is further aSSur-
ance that none of the great
savings which you can now
make through buying at APP
are out of the wages of our en-
ployees."
(The new program is the lat
est step in APPS traditional
policy of creating and main
tanning for it's employees the
highest wages, shortest general
hours and best working condi-
tons in the industry, Mr..
Byrnes pointed out.
The new schedule is in sharp
contrast with the latest figures
for working hours in the food
industry, contained in a survey
made year ago by a group of
Washington, D. c., labor unions
which revealed that the aver
age working hours for retail
employees in individual grocery
stores in that city were 63la
hours and for food chain store
employees 81 hours.
Working hours for grocery
clerks have always been too

long," Mr.. Byrnes said. "Un-
fortunately long hours have
been traditionally characteristic
of retailing but because of the
highly competitive nature of
the food business no one food
merchant could force a general
reduction in hours.
"In spite of this, the A&P has
repeatedly broken with estab-
lihed hours in an effort to
lead the industry away from the
traditional dawn-to- dusk work
ing schedule. We pioneered va
cations with pay. Since 1916 we
have progressively shortened
the working week for our en-
ployeeS. AS result, for a quar-
ter of century the APPS en-
ployees generally throughout
the United States have had the
shortest working hours of any
workers in the food business.
"These improved working
conditions have never been
achieved at the cost of increas-
ed prices to our customers or
lower returns to our suppliers.
They are the employees share
of the general reduction in OPP
Grating expenses resulting from
the consistently increasing eff
cheney of our method of distri-
button"
Mr.. Byrnes pointed out that
since 1916 the Arp has been
able to reduce the working week
by 34.2 pre- cent or a total
of 25 hours. 1.-THE reduction of
the work week to IS hours 25
years ago." he said, twas con-
sidered sensational in an era
when the average American
wage Garner worked IL hours a
day, six days week. In 1887
ASP pioneered another five
hour reduction which brought
the total work week down to go

six hours to 81 hours

Because of a rise in the level
of riding" said Mr.. Dana, I'VE
saw that intensif1cation Of the
defense effort would be reflected
in the use Of the railway fac
ilitieS and that there would
probably be reduction in use
of automobiles. Consequently, we
began to prepare for a larger
volume of business than the eel"
has had for some years.
First, we decided to re-condi-
ton Is main line elevated. eight
Cambridge Dorchester subway
and six East Boston tunnel cars.
which were in storage, to be
ready for service as soon as pos
Sible. There are 10 more elevated
cars and 81 surface cars which
could be placed in service with
in a relatively short time.
During this year there have
been received 81 new buses and
20 more are expected. Delivery
OF rs additional buses is expec-
ted early next year. These new
buses are for requirements of old
buses which in normal times
would be sold. This year. how
ever, the old buses are being
held in reserve for emergency
use for the reason that there will
probably be delays in the deli
very of new equipment.
1t is expected that the High
land avenue and Somerville av-
enue car lines running between
Clarendon Hill and Lechmere
stations will be converted to
trackless trolley operation in
October which will then release
Tor use elsewhere the cars now
operating there.
In terms of service on the
rapid transit lines, the cars in
service and the re-conditioned
cars could provide, if needed, a
maximum rush hour frequency
of a six-car train on the main
line elevated and of four-car
train in the Cambridge Dor
chester tunnel every ia min
uteS and of a four-car train in
the East Boston tunnel every
1-12 minutes, which would be as
frequent service as has ever been
operated on these rapid transit
lines.
Early in September, the rail-
way will provide an increase of
1858 car trips and of 1851 miles
on weekdays as compared to the
present schedules, The winter
schedules are now being pre-
pared and provision made for

Thus far in 1941 the buses
have consumed 130,998 fewer

creased the miles operated per

Already the Federal govern.
ment has recognized the neces-
sity of public transit in defense

available To local transit onera =

and special arrangement per-
mits an Ala rating, the high

Thus, the job of moving large
numbers of people is declared

essential to defense as well as
to civilian life"

I remember when some of the
boys used to relax and unSpin
dreams of the days they might
enjoy the full fruits of democ-
racy; when they might compete
in major league baseball, major
league football, and major league
basketball and ice hockey and
well, why go on.
The other day 7 listened to
certain southern gentlemen rave
and rant over the defense of
American rights and privileges. 1t
was quite clear that he wasn't
talking about our boys.
How long must this hypocrisy
continues?

slowly, improving conditions for
our colored youth. The outlook
should be marked optomistic. 1t
is because of these hopes that
military sacrifice can be endured.
