Millions Condemn Twelve-Hour Day Policy Fight
A broad coalition of fifty million Protestants Catholics and Hebrews denounces the American Iron and Steel Institute report opposing the elimination of the twelve hour workday. The statement asserts the twelve hour day harms workers and calls for end of the regime. It cites clerical and engineering voices and notes U S Steel stockholders warned on decline of worker vigor. The ship board also moves to keep the American flag on global routes by planning direct government operation of vessels through a new committee.
