NO SUNDAY IN RUSSIA
SEVEN DAY WORKING WEEK. MOSCOW, June 15. The Supreme Council of National Industry to-day ordered all the main State trusts to have their plans ready within three weeks at the latest foi’ abolishing the Sunday stoppage of work in their factories, mines, brickyards, etc., so that plant may be kept working continuously. The workers will be 'employed in six-day shifts, such as have already been adopted at the Dnieperpetrovsk (Yekaterinoslav) steelworks and elsewhere. Various exceptions are made for industries with an inadequate supply of raw materials, but, as a general rule, it is hoped to abolish the Sunday cessation of labour soon enough for the result of increased output to be apparent in the autumn trade returns. The machinery will cease running only on major Red feast days—two days for the First of May, two days for the anniversary celebrations of the Octobei’ Revolution, and one day for the Paris Commune celebrations. It is estimated that another 2,500 engineers will be immediately required for the non-stop running of industrial mining plant.
