THE SIX-HOUR DAY
Indications are that the six-hour day in industries is not lar re- j
moved. Not because of bolshevistic or communistic activities, but be- |
(ause of the fact that industry has builded up what appears to be an '
economic frankenstein. Unless something is done to thwart catastro
phy. prosperity is riding for a fall. We have the indisputable fact that j
production has reached the point of saturation, with overproduction
looming in many quarters. In arriving at this era of high-tension pro- j
duction radical changes have taken place. Not the least of these is
the scrapping of men beyond the age of 40 years, and driving youth
to the nth degree of endurance as masters of machines capable of
performing the work of from five to 10 men. What to do with these
displaced hands, now numberibng 6,000,000 according to figures pre
sented by President Green of the Brotherhoods, and confirmed by
Secretary of Labor Davis, is the problem.
The railroad men hope to solve the problem by compelling the
beneficiaries of the labor-saving machinery to share up the big pro
fits, not under the soviet plan of labor owned, controlled industry, but
by cutting the day to six hours and the creation of more situations.
This appears to be a more logical course than that of appealing
to the Federal treasury for relief. The latter brings within its scope
the principles of socialism in its purely political sense.
Thus the workers have executed a strategic move calculated to
enlist the sympathy of both dominant political parties or disarm
them of opposition, leaving the issue one of economic necessity vs.
selfishness.
mm SEIZE THREE
MORE II. S. VESSELS
Three American trolling boats j
were seized in the lee of Rose Spit i
where they lay anchored, in tow, by
the fisheries patrol cruiser Rividis,
Captain Sheppard. The three boats
are the Tillie M; Sunrise and Queen
City, each of which will be charged
with unlawful anchorage in Cana
dian waters. Each boat has a crew
of two men. They are Seattle boats,
fishing out of Ketchikan. On the ;
Tillie M., and Sunrise, both, it is j
stated there was found some 700 !
pounds of fresh spring salmon.
O. C. Jebsen was skipper of the j
Tillie M., L. Sandberg of the Sun- ;
rise and John Tliorgerson on the <
Queen City. Proceedings, it is ex- i
pected, will be launched against all
the boats.
IN A FEW YEARS
Regarded once as a project
that might be accomplished in time
for the next generation to enjoy, it ;
is now felt that the Pacific Yukon |
Highway will be completed within j
a very few years, declared Major
Malcolm Elliott in a talk before the
Juneau Chamber of Commerce, ini'
which he gave an account of the j
recent motor caravan over Caribou j
Highway from Vancouver to Hazel- j
ton.
