FACTORIES AND SHOPS NEVER
IDLE; SUNDAY NOW NON
EXISTENT
MOSCOW, Jan., 17, (/P's—Sunday
no longer exists in Soviet Russia as
a regular day of rest. The seven
day “non-stop” working week,
which allows one group of working
week, and allows one group of
workers to rest one day in every
five while another group is carrying
on their work, has been inaugurat
ed in almost every institution, bu
reau, museum, school, factory, mine
and retail shop and will soon be
introduced in the newspapers, and
hospitals.
This system, which divides the 24
hours into three different working
shifts, has enabled the government
to attain something like a “perfect
system”. At no hour of the day or
night, under the new seven day
working week, is any factory, shop
or government enterprise idle. But
every worker has a full 24 hour
rest every five days.
