Adjustable Work Week Plan Offered to End Unemployment
President of the Saxe Cotton Mills in New Orleans advocates a flexible national work week to absorb all jobseekers within 60 days. He proposes a constitutional amendment to empower a federal hours of labor commission, enforceable by imprisonment and fines, with adjustments to keep wages stable and maintain employment across industries amid machinery driven unemployment. He criticizes the Teagle plan as impractical and argues for permanent, government-guided labor reform to prevent wide-scale unemployment.
