Excerpt from Eight Hours for Work I was led to undertake the following inquiry because I could find no solid bottom in any of the current prognostications, favourable or unfavourable, as to the probable consequences of a general adoption of an eight-hours working day. They were all alike built on a little stock of assumptions about the natural effects of shorter hours, which nobody seemed to think it necessary to verify. Even the economists who ventured into the play, though they perhaps speculated with more system, still speculated with the same unverified materials, and obtained accordingly only the same problematical results.

Excerpt from The Eight Hours Question Since this essay was written, the course of affairs has on the whole seemed to justify its line of argument, to the extent even of an almost complete subsidence of the agitation for an Eight Hours Law. I am far, however, from taking satisfaction in that bare fact, which may stand as much for the general and regrettable subsidence of public interest in social problems, as for any intelligent recognition that an Eight Hours Law is a wrong industrial policy. That subsidence has gone on step for step with the rise of public interest in the pseudo-problems of so-called imperial politics, problems the very statement of which is often an expression of defect of economic science, and which are as often fitly solved by doctrines which are the negation of it. One holding the views set forth in the following pages can take satisfaction only in seeing some new and better approach towards the ideal for which, at its best, the Eight Hours movement stood; and such an approach can hardly be said to be taking place on any largo scale, though there are signs of its being here and there found feasible even without any resort to new social machinery.

Excerpt from The Eight Hour Primer: The Fact, Theory and the Argument The employment of the extra number of persons at per day would have added to the circulation per day or in the year, and as the persons lost hours' work under the ten-hour system, they would have received under the eight-hour system full employment, and would have thus added to the circulation the sum of to their earnings, making a grand total of extra earnings of for the year. If any one wishes to claim that the full employment of more persons in this state more than the total number that were employed and partly employed for that year would not tend to increase wages, then he must base his claim on a theory contrary to all fact.

Excerpt from An Argument for an Eight-Hour Law It will be observed that this proposed statute is in some respects quite radical, and in others very conservative. It is radical in that it does not stop, as such statutes usually do, with declaring that a given number of hours shall constitute a day's labor, leaving a man to perform as many days' labor as he chooses during each twenty-four hours, but it goes to the root of the matter and declares that such employment is contrary to the social and economic polity of the State and shall be altogether unlawful. And further, it lays its restrictions and imposes its penalties alike upon the employer and the employed. It would be as unlawful to work under the prohibited conditions as it would be to employ others to work. It is, for this sort of legislation, conservative in the following respects: (i) It restricts only habitual employment of the kind specified. It does not interfere with the free action of the employer and employed, in an emergency. Occasional work or employment for ten, twelve, sixteen, or twenty-four hours in the day, to meet some pressing necessity of urgent demand, would not be unlawful. It may be urged that the word "habitual" is too indefinite to be used in a statute; but I do not think it would be found to be so in practice. In case of a prosecution under this law, a court and jury would have to decide, in each case, whether the employment was occasional and temporary, to meet exceptional conditions, or whether it was a persistent but covert attempt to violate the spirit of the statute; and this is as it should be. Good faith on the part of the employer and employed would always meet with a proper consideration, but attempted evasions would be dangerous. (2) It is conservative in that it confines its restrictions to labor in a "factory, mine, or work-shop." I am by no means sure that I have fixed the proper and final limitation to the scope of the statute. I hope and expect that it will in time be extended further and given a wider scope, and that there are other fields of industry in which it will finally prove an ameliorating factor.

Excerpt from Memorandum on the Eight-Hour Working Day: Submitted by the Secretary, July 20, 1915 The recent eight-hour movement began with the railroad brother hoods in 1916 - 17. As a result of a threatened strike certain adjust ments were made in pay on the basis of an 8-hour day instead of a former 10-hour day. This change was secured by the Adamson law of September 3, 1916. The new day has been termed by the rail road world the basic eight-hour day. This change in the railroad day has affected approximately workers. The eight-hour day has been in force in the Government navy yards for many years, and time and a half has been paid for over time work. The Federal Bureau of Engraving and Printing, where mostly women are employed, has always been an actual eight-hour establishment, but in periods of rush increased hours have regularly been worked. Only recently was the eight - hour day introduced with time and a half paid for overtime. This has affected approximately employees in the bureau. The eight-hour day has now become almost universal in the ship yards, in which approximately employees are engaged.
