FORTY-HOUR WEEK.
Concerted World ’Action Necessary. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received January 14, 12.30 p.m.) GENEVA, January 13. Mr W. Hayday, British workers’ representative, informed the Shorter Hours Conference that concerted world action was necessary regarding the forty-hour week. The consequences would be staggering if the world’s 120,000,000 workless were told that the only solution of the trouble was their maintenance by the employed workers. The latter would not submit to any further reduction in wages. • M. Gerald, representing the Belgian employers, contended that production must be maintained at all costs. A reduction of hours would be valueless and dangerous.
