EIGHT HOUR DAY MAY BE
CONTINUED IN SWEDEN
Stockholm, Nov.. 1. (By Mil)—
Sweden’s eight-hour day, acceptable
to the laboring element but not popu
lar with employers, will be contin
ued under a provisional law for the
next three years if the recommen
dation just made by the Social
Board is accepted by the government.
The Social Board, assisted by the
Board of Trade and the delegation
working for intemation social legis
lation, was instructed by the govern
ment Ho investigate the general
effectiveness of the eight-hoar day
in Sweden and now reports that the
is not ripe either for permanent
enactment or abolishment, recom
mending, therefore, that the provis
ional measure be continued for
aether three years.
Swedish employers have in gen
eral opposed the establishing of
uniform short day on the ground
that the cost of production has been
increased, and that it has led
difficulties in those industries where
the output fluctuates, where pro
duction is intense during some weeks
and slack during others. Simular
disadvantages have arisen »
sonal trades. A peculiar circum
stance in this country is that, owing
to the latitude, the days are unusual
ly long in summer and short in win-
Thus where work can be done
daring daylight as in building trades,
eighUiouf day worics hardship
for the employer and limits the
amount of building possible during
the year.
Keeping the above objections In
the Social Board has recommended
that the hours of over-time allowed
be increased from twenty per month
thirty, and from a hundred and
twenty per year to a hundred and
fifty. With this flexibility in the
it is believed the disadvantages
more rigid system can be obvia
ted.
The workers declare that the labor
has increased under the
provironal law. They are enthusias
or the better standard of liv-
•vhlch it has brought, giving
them more time for social and domes
tic life as well as for study, recrea
tion, and general self improvement.
