Eight-Hour Day Fixed By
Shamokin Merchants
Shamokin, Pa., July s.—Blazing the trail for local
industries and other employers of woman labor, the
merchants of Shamokin to-day announced their
unanimous decision to adopt an eight-hour day in
all stores and offices effective July 14.
With 3.000 local silk workers on strike for an
eight-hour day, the movement on the part of the
merchant establishes an unusual precedent and is
believed to lay basis for a similar work day in all
local industries.
Heretofore clerks in stores were on a fifty-four
hour week basis and will receive the same wages
under the fortv-eight-hour week.
This news item speaks for itself. When the
leading merchants of a city put their moral force
back of a worthy movement, such as this, they
are taking a broad view of economic reforms.
The eight-hour day is becoming universal. A
shorter workday for the employed decreases the
number of unemployed.
This store closes at six on Saturdays, so its
employes are not obliged to work over eight
hours on any of the six days.
