"Further statements by the operators that the lum
ber industry it facing at this time a depression likely to
continue, is not conformed by trade reports.
"The board concedes that occasions may arise in
any industry where strict adherence to the eight-hour
day becomes at once impractical and an injustice alike
to both employer and employe. Extra, or over-time, as
it is usually termed, may be a necessity, and in this
event entered into with due regard for the increased
relative compensation or penalty which should follow
the extra hour or hours or service, usually time and
one-half.
"The board is deeply conscious of its responsibility
to this commonwealth by wisely exercising every grant
ed power in compromising industrial disputes. It real
izes that local conditions may .arise in different callings
wherein the general interest of the state may well be
regarded as secondary. It cannot, however, subscribe
to the contention that an institution so vital to our ma
terial interests which has established, first as a war
necessity and later retained as an enlightened step in
economic progress, a basic working day of eight hours,
should now be the cause of local conditions which
might undo a work which has engaged the. sympathetic
attitude of capital and labor alike the creation of a
status which makes for better citizens and homes, a
finer and greater degree of efficiency by the worker.
"To acknowledge that the eight-hour day is a mis
take, that labor cannot efficiently function nor industry
be maintained on this basis, is to concede an' error by a
majority of the industrial leaders' within our state and
nation.

hour day with increased efficiency, vhy change in days
