President Hoover Abandons Five Day Week Idea
President Hoover abandons the five day week as an immediate employment stimulant and will seek other methods. He favors a two day conference of the 12 Federal Reserve district committees to discuss measures to create more work and support agriculture business and industry. He notes that the five day week would not be generally applicable as many plants already operate fewer than five days. The chairmen will meet to arrange the two day session and to lay before conferees the full field of federal credit and other assistance.
