Packers Advance Arguments Against Eight Hour Day
In Chicago March 2, testimony for large packing firms argued that shifting from a 10 to eight hour day is impracticable due to insufficient tankage and cooling at plants. Chester S. Churchill admitted current wages are slightly lower than he had valued against cost of living. Swift & Co. hired an economist to study wages. Workers receive few Sunday shifts, and there is a rule against exceeding 11 hours. If an eight hour day were adopted, days would still stretch to 10 or 11 hours, creating financial difficulties for the companies.
