The surveys covered 8 million
workers in major cities across the
nation. The results showed that
16 per cent were working less
than 40 hours a week as a stand-
ard condition.
The development of 35 and 37%
hour work weeks has not been lim-
ited to any one area, the depart-
ment reported, but the proportion
of workers on the shorter work-
week is twice as large in non-
manufacturing as in manufactur-
ing industries.
Of workers on standard work-
weeks of less than 40 hours, 12
per cent work more than 37%
but less than 40 hours; 39 per cent
work 37% hours; 18 per cent work
more than 35 hours but less than
37% hours; 28 per cent work 35
hours and 3 per cent leas than 35
hours; the surveys reevaled.
When the AFL was established
in 1881 the 10 to 11-hour day, 6
days a week was the typical work-
week. It was not until World War
I that the 8-hour day, 6-day, 48-
hour week became fairly common.

Negotiations for the plants in

Wednesday and Thursday. The
employees of Borden’s Biscuit

negotiations never end for the con-

The first thought that comes to
mind when contract negotiations
are mentioned is wage increases
which always make people happy.
Some folks are not going to like
this but let’s face the facts. A good
many union members are not con-
cerned with the fact that expenses,
such as, office and meeting hall
rent, office supplies, telephone,
per capita tax to affiliated organi-
zations, and organizational ex-
penses, have increased during the
past years. Too many members
seldom interest themselves as to
whether or not the Representatives
needs an increase in wages and
expenses to replace the automobile
that is being worn out for the un-
ion’s work. Dues increase % Must
not say those ugly words. Union
members must realize that to op-
erate their organization properly,
they must increase their source
of income—DUES—as companies
often find it necessary to increase
the price of the product the people
are producing to meet their in-
creased cost. A Union member who
will not see the necessity of dues
in a sufficient amount to conduct
the Union’s—their own—business
is blinded by selfishness and incon-
sideration and is sowing seed for
their own destruction.
