WASHINGTON. May 1.-THE
nations construction industry, un-
der the impetus of defense work,
is operating at the highest rate
in the past decade. Both heavy
construction and small home build
ings are sharing equally in the
upturn as a result Of the urgent
need for industrial plants and
housing for defense workers.
This is indicated by the follow
ing developments: April residential
building was the greatest for any
month since July. 1929; the
volume of new home building
started under FILA has established
new high records each week so
far this month; industrial con-
struction in the week ended May

As long as the reservoir of man.

pansion in total productivity

Incidentally. this type of man.
agerial thinking is in line with the
Injunction by A. p. Giannini, DOM
inant personality in the Bank of
America, to his associates to the
effect that restriction of work
ing hours in accordance with
modern social trend should not
be permitted TO curtail the oank's
services to the public. His thought
was that productive work should
be kept up through adding names
to pay rolls or through stepping
up efficiency.
With the United States trying
to maintain civilian living stand
ards while carrying on an "all
out" effort of national defense
and aid to the democracies, the
new accent is on production. In
the circumstances, it is by nc
means clear that we shall be
able to perpetuate the 4o-hour
week. One eminent industrialist
has pointed out that the time-and-
a-half provision for overtime Is
inflationary, since workers are
likely to be less rather than more
productive in the hours added to
their schedule

BY 1886, he was president OF

Moue to 7-Day Basis

In spite of the fact that the
pre-emergency wages and hours
act still gives lip service to the
40-hour week and provides for
time-and-a-half pay for overtime,
companies engaged in defense &C
tivities have been moving toward
six and seven-day basis.
One company, the Timken Roller
Bearing Company. at Canton, o.,
anticipated President Roosevelt's
demand for a 16S-hour work week
for tools by 20 months. The details
of the technique for avoiding the
weekend blackout are timely now,
in view of the Presidents recent
request.
The Thinker plan provides for
three eight-hour shifts per day UP
to 40 hours per week. Instead of
having three crews to maintain
this schedule, the company has
four. Thus the four crews keep
the physical equipment operating
full time. If they each remained
within the 40-hour limit, the total
hours per week would be 160 hours
for the machines. This is stepped
up by a scheme for rotating the
crews and permitting each one to
work five extra shifts during each
20-week period. Overtime rates
are paid for the extra time. These
shifts achieve the 16S-hour week
