D. C. DEAR SIR AND BROTIEr : I was much interested in reading the statement made by you before the Senate Committee on Immigration. and I have requested Vice President Anderson to compile some figures relative to the number of employees laid off in the machine industry. It may interest you to know that a number of firms are accentuating the existing unrest caused by unemployment by increasing their hours instead of decreasing them. which would be the natural thing to do knder the circumstances There arc quite a number of firums that have been working on tile basic eighthour day that have served notice on their employees it Is their intention to return to the 10hour workday. The Mitchell Motor Car Co. and the Prefix Radiator Co.. both of Racine.
