(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.
