THE WORKING DAY.
MORE HOURS IN GERMANY. LOCK-OUT IN EAST PRUSSIA. A. and N.Z. LONDON, Feb. 8. The Berlin correspondent of the Morning Post says the failure of the eighthour day in Germany is now generally admitted, but Socialists cling ardently to what they regard as the main achievement of the revolution. The Government and employers say that the nation will never get on its feet again unless the workers work longer and better than during the past fiva years;. Government officials have been told that they must- work more than eight hours. An awkward situation ha 3 arisen in East Prussia, where, despite long negotiations, the workers refused to consider a longer day, and the employers decided to close the factories, locking out 10,000 workmen.
