SHORTER HOURS
[United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.] LODON, March 2. Sir Oliver Lodge, speaking at Croydon, said: People needed more leisure for education. They needed more free time. They ought not to spend their whole day in routine work. Many of the industries had three eight-hour shifts. Why not have four six-hour shifts? This would mean employing more people, and giving the people more time for self-development, for the sake of which the workers ought to accept necessarily lower wages. Wo at present were divided into two classes. There were those who are overworked and those who are unemployed.
