Six hour day proposed to ease railroad unemployment
A six hour day will be sought by railroad unions as the solution to unemployment. About 700 delegates from seven unions in the United States and Canada plan a Chicago conference November 12 to campaign for two fewer hours per day, aiming for a 40 to 42 hour week for operating unions. The push follows a year of rising unemployment and industry consolidation, with leaders citing the 1916 eight hour victory and potential new leadership for American labor.
