George W. Mead
Sees 5-Day Week
With 6-Day Pay
George W. Mead, candidate for the Republican nomination for United States senator, opened his Milwaukee campaign today at noon when he addressed 2,000 employes of the Allis-Chalmers shops, West Allis.
"I believe the time is coming when the five-day working week with six-day pay will be universal in our nation," he said.
"By introducing more machinery and working shorter time, still more opportunity for leisure and outside education will be given the workingman. One-sixth more workers will be employed and overproduction will be curbed."
