HOURS FOR WAR WORK
Rec. 10 a.m. WASHINGTON, July 29. Representatives of the War and Navy Departments, the Maritime Commission, the War Production Board, the Commerce and Labour Departments and the Public Health and Manpower Commission made statements recommending a work ceiling as follows:—(1) For wartime production an eight-hour day, with a 48-hour week, was the best working schedule for sustained efficiency. (2) One day of rest out of seven for the individual should be the universal rule. (3) A 30-minute meal period is desirable. (4) Vacations are conducive to sustained production and should be staggered over the whole year.
