Steel men oppose twelve hour day in steel industry
The Iron and Steel Institute committee led by Elbert H. Gary reports that shortening the work day cannot be recommended now due to labor shortages and rising costs. The plan would raise steel prices by at least 15 percent and require about 60,000 more workers, though the twelve hour shift is not deemed physically harmful. The group also urges easier immigration to aid labor needs and notes potential future abolition if demand and prices allow.
