SUNDAY WORK
MAY BE REDUCED FURTHER IN BRITAIN. PROBLEMS IN AIRCRAFT INDUSTRY. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY. May 27. Questioned in the House of Commons regarding recommendations in committee on the National Expenditure report regarding the abolition of Sunday work the Minister of Labour stated that except in very special cases they were in reference to the aircraft industry, broadly in accordance with the view expressed on behalf of the Government. Some progress had been made in that direction, and he was considering, with his colleagues, methods by which Sunday work might be reduced to the utmost extent compatible with the flexibility necessary for production and the requirements of specially urgent work. The aircraft industry had certain peculiarities in the sense that the change of type was so frequent that they kept getting a hiatus and then they had to go all out after the retooling of a workshop to make up production again. They could not run the industry on the balanced order of some other industries.
