President Hoover drops the five day week as an immediate employment stimulant and will seek other methods after representatives from federal reserve districts meet in Washington. He believes a two day conference can best aid by creating more work rather than dividing existing jobs. The plan may not suit industry overall as many plants already run on fewer than five days.
