ber of workers are already on
normal work-week of less than for

No Change In Pay
incorporating railroad employ
ees-those not involved directly in
operating trains-are having their
hours reduced from forty-eight to
forty on the recommendation of an
emergency board. Like the Ford
workers in 1926, they will get the
same weekly pay they have been
getting for six days.
This means a siZable increase
in hourly rates, but William NJ
Leiserson, chairman of the emer-
gency board, says it will still leave
the hourly rates approximately the
same as the average for factory
workers of comparable skills.
Operating" rail employees, such
as engineers and firemen, are paiC
largely on a mileage basis, an(
their work week is not measured in
hours.
The movement toward shorter
hours in American industry has
been going on more than 100 years
In the early part of the nineteenth
century factory employees gener
ally worked 'from sun up to SUI
down" in the manner of farmers
But improvements in machiner,
and methods made possible stead,
reduction in hours while the vol
ume of production continued t.
rise. The reduction came faster il
those industries where technica
changes were most dramatic, wher
conditions provided pressures t
spread the work. or where the la
Dor unions possessed the bargain
ing strength to hasten the process

The reason for the unions duck
ing the issue is obvious, It isn't
considered popular these days TO
oppose any modification of vet

iprotect the job rights of long
