THE 44-HOUR WEEK
MEANS LESS WORK AND HIGHER COSTS SYDNEY, July 22. In an open letter to the Premier, the Chamber of Manufacturers’ Executive states that the adoption of the forty-four-hour week must inevitably bring loss to the workers in diminished employment, to the public in increased costs of commodities, and to the manufacturer and States in the decreased possibilities of the expansion of industry. The letter suggests that New South Wales postpone the introduction of the forty-four hour week till the other States of the Commonwealth tire ready to take similar action.
