Western Pine Lumber Adopts Eight Hour Day Policy
The Western Pine Manufacturers vote in Spokane to adopt an eight hour workday in all camps and mills starting January 1. The mediation commission in Seattle welcomed the move and expects similar action from the West Coast group, while Southern mills oppose a 10 and 12 hour day due to cheaper Southern labor. President Wilson and the labor secretary noted the development as key to fueling the war production effort.
