262 TECHNICAL WORLD AL\GAZINE of tlie corporation arc everywhere), bent down—he was over six feet—and whis])ered in my ear. "This morning 1 skipped without saying a word to the boss. I don't know what'll happen, and I have a wife and five kids at home. But 1 think I might have at least one half- .Smulay in five years, don't you ?" —This lastân ahnost jiathetic apjieal. J Icre was an American citizen who had been working twelve hours a day, seven days (eighty-four hours) a week for five consecutive years. He was a laborer in the blast furnace, and the Steel Trust ])aid him, for his endless toil, sixteen and a half cents an hour. He wanted to s])end the rest of that Sunday with his wife and children, but there wâs very little doubt in my mind that when he returned to work on Monday morning he would be promptly discharged for (|uitting work, without permission, on the "day of rest." In the latter part of January, 1910, a machinist in shop N'o. 4 of the 15ethlchem Steel Company (the great rival of the Steel Trust) at South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, remained away from his job on Saturday in order to avoid the possibility of being ordered to work on the following Sunday. He was not, mind you, a seven-day man, but one who formerly worked ten hours and twenty-five minutes from Monday to Friday, and five hours and twenty minutes on Saturday. J Jut he, in common with other workmen of that shop, had been frequently nxiide to work over-time and Sundays, and it was feared that these encroachments might ultimately result in the longest hours ; i. e.. twelve hours, seven days a week, being made the uniform ones for the entire plant. When the machinist referred to, whom we will call Smith, returned to w'ork on Monday, he told his comrades of his reason for staying away. The foreman heard of it and he was immediately discharged. His fellow workmen talked the matter over and decided to ask for AT THE OPEN JIE.AKTU. Men labor hen- in intense heat.
