Reds Pressuring Taegu Line for Six Day Week
Anaconda Copper Mining Company plans to resume a six day work week for Butte mine employees starting Monday September 11 and extend as warranted. The Anaconda smelter operations may move toward six day shifts as feasible. The shift change from six days to five occurred June 6 1949 due to metal price declines. After discussions with the International Union of Mine Mill and Smelter Workers and local unions a six day week is deemed justified by current demand for metals.
