SWEPT ASIDE
THE FORTY-HOUR WEEK. IN AMERICAN DEPARTMENTS. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 10 a.m.) WASHINGTON, January 21. According to the United Press, Mr Nelson said President Roosevelt had approved of a plan for reorganisation of war production. Mr Nelson conferred at length with President Roosevelt, and later said his plan had been approved and details would be announced tomorrow. Asked whether the plan involved the whole organisation, Mr Nelson replied: “Well, it is stream-lined to get action.” The 40-hour week in Government departments has been swept aside to meet the gigantic task of winning the war. The average work week is now 44 hours, with several departments, including the Army and Navy, working longer shifts.
