Six Hour Day Sought by Railroad Unions in Campaign
Cleveland Oct 22 AP labor unions representing the railroad industry in the United States and Canada plan a six hour workday as a solution to unemployment. About 700 representatives will meet in Chicago on November 13 to outline a nationwide campaign to cut two hours from the current day. A B F Whitney, president of the brotherhood of railroad trainmen, said a 40 to 42 hour week is logical for operating unions and a six hour day fits train services better than a five day week. The unions aim to shift leadership on labor with the 1916 eight hour day precedent, though no definite program is set yet.
