LABOUR IN AMERICA
BEACHED END OF PATIENCE. SEEKING 30-HOUR WEEK. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. "Organised labour has reached the end of its patience, and we shall use our might to compel the .plain remedies withheld by those whose misfeasance has caused o.ur woe,” declared the president of the American Federation, of Labour (Mr Green) to-day in an interview published ifi the "Nation’s Business,” the official magazine of the United States Chamber of Commerce.
Pointing out that American Labour had not suddenly become revolutionary, Mr Green said: ."'Necessity dictates that now is the time to fight a battle for the restoration of the safeguards’confiscated -by pillaging bands of exploiters.” . Mr Green has been advocating Congressional measures for a six-hour day and a five-day week as a means of stabilising employment. The passage of such measures during the present session is highly doubtful.
