THE EIGHT-HOUR DAY.
BRITISH PROPOSAL, TO “SCRAP." Loudon, December 23. The eight-hour day ijuestion is likely to become a, serious issue in several big industries shortly. Employers in the dock and transport industries, the tramways, the Scottish railways, and the building trades are all proposing to lengthen the working day from eight hours. The trouble appears to have reached an acute stage in the railway world, judging by a. letter that Mr Bromley, secretary of The Society of Locomotive Engineers, lias sent to the railway staff and wages committee. He declares that “a very serious situation" is arising owing to the action of several railway companies in lengthening the working day for en-gine-drivers and firemen. He refers to the “grave possibilities of serious -troubleunless the matter is rectified.’’
