43-Hour Week
Most Efficient,
Survey Shows

NEW YORK-The war worker
reaches peak efficiency on a 6-day,
48-hour work week schedule, a re-
port recently compiled by the New
York State Department of Labor
shows.
This conclusion, reached in a
Princeton University study of 140
firms employing 100000 workers,
has also been confirmed by the
findings of eight government de-
partments and agencies, including
the War and Navy Departments,
the War Production Board and the
U. S. Department of Labor, the re-
port states.
The report cites experiences
from sampling of war plants to
show that six 10-hour days or T.
day week schedules brought a drop
in production and increased absen-
teeism.
Continuous 7-day weeks are now
rare in New York state" the de-
partment says. even six moIths
after the war began, employers
were convinced that production
could not be kept at a high pitch
unless workers had a day of rest
each week"

Woes of q Union
Committee
By Edward Schneider

When a person finds himself be-
hind the eight ball, it is some
times a self-imposed condition.
Without the union there would
be no seniority nor bidding pri-
vilege. We plan to retain the bid
ding system in its present form
with the help of the employees.
Abusing it, however. has become
practice with a small minority
To overcome this abuse, the active
members of this union have estab-
lished certain rules and regula-
tions so that bidding shall con-
tinue to be a practical way for
workers to advance t emselves.
Some of the newer employees
who have not been here long
enough to watch the progress
we've made since the union was
organized, are apt to take many
things for granted.
More of the privileges we now
have were non-existant. Those who
are quick to criticize would
change their minds quickly if they
conducted an investigation and
hsked a few intelligent questions.
Time was when promotions were
given only to people who had the
knack of remaining in the good
graces of the foremen, or else,
men were hired from outside the
plant and placed on the best jobs.
There was no seniority. The
achievement of that alone is some
thing to be really appreciated by
all, and incidently, used wisely.

Wake Up!
BALLYHOO
by Claude Hess


This great ballyhoo that's going
on at the present time about
absenteeism in the daily press is
one of the greatest smoke screens
the American Public has ever
witnessed. It's purpose is to be-
cloud the horizon of every true
thinking and patriotic American.
. We thought that the 77th Congress
was bad, but it was a tyro along
this NAM controlled tory out
better known as the 18th Con-
gfess.
If YOU have listened to the num-
ber one ballyhoo artist OF the
NAM, Eddie Rickenbacker, you
will understand what is going on
behind this smoke screen.
Every factory could reduce their
absenteeism if they would cut
their work week to six days and
offer an incentive to their workers
to work steady; also to see that
everyone gets a decent hourly
wage. We cannot control sickness,
but according to the daily press,
nobody ever gets sick, and the
ones who lay off are too lazy to
work. Let's see what is actually
goin gon behind this smoke screen.
THE 8 HOUR DAY
We have to go back a good many
years ago to the Haymarket Strike
when a number of truly loyal
Union members were condemned
to death and were hanged in the
public gallows because they fought
for 8 hours a day. In those days,
people worked from IL to IA
hours every day for fifteen cents
per hour. This was the beginning
Of our eight hour day.
Now, along comes this NAM,
mouthpiece to tell US we should be
good patriotic citizens and give up
what others have fought, bled and
|, died for. You never heard him
mention his two companions who
were in the life boat with him who
were heroes too. Oh, no! Why?
Because they belonged to organ
lied labor. One belonged to the
CIO. and the other to the AFL.
HOBBS BILL
They also are trying to be-
cloud the horizon and tell you all
the great things the Hobbs Anti
Racketeering bill would do. 1t
would do lot Of good if it was
aimed at the mouthpieces in Con-
gress. But, for the life of US, we
cannot see why they want to de-
stroy organized labor. Brothers;
and Sisters, wake up before it is
too late. Protect the Union which
is protecting you. For the small
sum of 25 cents a week you have
the finest and best job insurance
in the world. The forty-eight hour
bill and the Hobbs Bill are only
samples of what is being hatched
behind the smoke screen in the
18th Congress.
You have a sample in Colum-
bus at the present time in Senate
Bill 126 (or the Ross Bill to work |
women and 16 year old children
as many hours as the "hoggish"
manufacturers wish.
