LONGER WORKING HOURS.
PROPOSAL IN BRITAIN. The eight-hour day question is likely to become a serious issue in several large British industries shortly. Employers in the dock and transport industries, the tramways, the Scottish railways, and the building trades are ah proposing to lengthen the working day from eight hours. The workers are opposing the proposal. The trouble appears to have reached an acute' stage in the railway world, judging by a letter that Mr. Bromley, secretary of. the Society of Locomotive Engineers, has sent to the Railway Staff and Wages Committee. He declares that “a very serious situation” is arising owing to the action of several railway companies in lengthening the working day for engine-dr’vers and firemen. He refers to the "grave possibilities of serious trouble unless the matter is rectified.” ♦
