Hardwood Lumber Seeks Eight Hour Day Plan
The Hard wood Manufacturers' institute meets to consider a rehabilitation plan to move the hardwood lumber industry to an eight hour day and raise unskilled workers' salaries by about 10 percent. The proposal, drafted by J. H. Townsend, Langdon Bell, and John Raine, would require approval from the National Lumbermen's Manufacturers' association and then President Roosevelt. If adopted, over 150,000 unskilled workers would gain higher pay and the industry would shift from 10- to 12-hour days to eight hours.
