FOUR-DAY WEEK 11 HOURS A DAY
(Rec. 2 p.m.) LONDON, August 31. The leaders of the engineering and shipbuilding unions are asking their members to agree to an 11-hour clay in a four-day week, says the Daily Express. These and all other industries face the winter prospect of stopping completely one day each week to stagger the electricity load. The extra time is intended to make up the lost production. Delegates from the Shipbuilding and Engineering Confederation will begin discussions when they arrive at Southport tomorrow for a T.U.C. meeting. The union leaders propose that the hours between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. should be counted as normal working with no overtime pay.
