Anaconda to Implement Eight Hour Day in Mines
The Anaconda Copper Mining company will inaugurate an eight hour work day in all its mines on February 1, regardless of whether a state eight hour law passes. President William Scallon confirmed the plan, noting it has been under consideration and decided for implementation this month. Other mines in Butte are expected to follow, with schedules set to 8 a.m. to 4:10 p.m. for day shifts and 7 p.m. for night shifts, plus a half hour lunch break. Local merchants and Judge Sullivan hailed the move as elevating city welfare and miner conditions, while many officials expect broader industry adoption and potential benefits to output and morale.
