NEA Service Writer | Washington, May 7.—We're com i ing to a five-day working week, ac cording to Congressman Meyer Jn eobstein, 4f Rochester, N. Y„ econo mist and specialist on capital and labor relationships. Labor won’t have to squeese this forty-hour week out of capital by main strength, Jaeobglein add«. Rath er, he suggests, capital thought of it first. • I» « « j President William Greet)., of the j American Federation of Labor, re ! ferred to this same matter in a speech ihe made some time ago. Manufac turers, he asserted are finding it nec essary already to restrict their out puts jo avoid turning out goods far in excess of the w'ao’.e world's needs. It struck me at the time that this must foreshadow a shorter working day or week, and I asked some of the experts at the United States Cham ber of Commerce and the National Manufacturers’ Association about it. They said Green was right but they had an idea the slack jvijl ,be taken up gradually as tie working Claes taste grows for conveniences apdhixuries only .the rich have an joyed hitherto, like the already-de veloped popular taste for automobiles. T.ieir opinion was that working hours are about as ..short, now as working men themselves care to have them— that if they had still more time on their hands it would drag. * * • To some extent Jacobstein agrees with''these experts. T'pat is, he ex pects to see more and more people wanting more and more things. However, be believes industry's •present gearing assures shorter work ing hours, too, and in his judgment the workers will continue td find plenty of ways of employing their spare momently profitably.
