SHORTER WORKING WEEK
TO rßg BDITO« or TH» PRESS. Sir, —There is just one point in the letter you published over the pseudonym "Homie" in this morning's issue that should be dealt with in fairness to the Mayor and the then City Council. Your correspondent says tne Mayor has consistently voted against the shortening of the working hours for the council employees. It might be wall to remember that the Mayor and the council voted against this because it was felt that the question was one for national action and at a time when many citizens were finding it difficult to pay their rates and when many business concerns were feeling the pinch of financial stringency it would have been altogether out of place for the working hours of the employees to have been reduced. The reduction of working hours is a national, and not a sectional matter.— Scours, etc., jqhn ROBERTSON. November 4, 1935.
