THE EIGHT-HOUR DAY The committes the iron and Steel Institute has reported that the reduction of the twelve hour day to eight hours is not feasible at this time. Whether or not there {s any soundness {n the other reasons the committee gives, certainly there is truth in its statement that the lack of labor makes it a practical impossibili- ty just now.
