day-week movement has made progress in this country and find the
results amazing. In the Middle West, individual factories began to
adopt this system as early as 1914. In many instances, employers
and employees would get together and come to an understanding to
give a two-day holiday each week, if the production would be kept
up as usual, and from reports I have on hand from employers, they
praise highly the adoption of this system and hope never to return
again to the six-day or even five and one-half-day week. In the first
place, they have found no falling off in production, for the employees
like this system so much that they produce just as much in the five
days as in the five and one-half, always with the object in view not
to return to the old system. They have also found that it has re-
duced overhead charges, especially where preliminary processes re-
quire the making of steam and fire. also giving them an opportunity
for cleaning and repairing machinery and overhauling their plant.
Some employers have even found a new source of labor, as the fiv•-
day week permits many women to work when they have two free
days. This gives them an entirley new labor supply.
From the several hundreds of reports I received from various
parts of the country, almost without exception, all who have tried
the five-day-week, functioning under the auspices of the Jewish Sab-
bath Alliance of America, hope within the next few months to issue
a book on this question, showing the progress of the five-day week
for the last 15 years, almost since the Rev. Dr. Drachman began to
advocate its adoption. The expense of publishing this hook is being
taken care of by this committee and will be distributed free of charge
with the object of furthering the adoption of this system. Hundreds
of requests have already been received for this book from various
parts of the country, which will be sent just as soon as it will be
issued. It mat upon the requests of many employers who have
adopted this system several years ago and who resented the recent
statements in the newspapers, captioned "Henry Ford's Five-Day-
Week," that I am issuing this statement, briefly showing the begin-
ning of the advocacy of the five-day-week system. not by henry
Ford, but at a convention of the Jewish Sabbath Alliance of America
by Dr. Bernard Drachman.
