certain complications in the operation of the overhead. For instance, in some industries you've got to get your steam up anyhow. Of course, in the necessarily continuous industries like paper making, film making, chemical industries and so on, you can't stop. The process has to go on. You close the plant down if you're going to stop and that's that. It was very hard for them to put it into operation there. They didn't want to take on any more people and eight hours gave them three natural shifts. To go to six hours you had to have four shifts. Although from the point of view of helping with the unemployment that was a good idea, it's very bewildering and difficult to the manufacturer. Also the type of employees that they had to have for that kind of work were the type that they couldn't bring themselves to tell that they would have to work six hours and get less money. So in the continuous industries we practically never got anything lower than the eight hour day, although I have heard of continuous industries that went to a six hour day and worked four shifts, but that was where they had the matter pretty well under control.

The employees accepted this because they didn't have jobs in view. By the time that these recommendations were actually in operation and we got going on them unemployment had begun in a big way and was critical. We began the study
