Excerpt from The Twelve-Hour Shift in IndustryShortly after this meeting an investigation was conducted to determine the progress made in the steel industry in changing from the two-shift day. This investigation was directed by Morris L. Cooke. The study was made possible by a grant from the Cabot Fund, and the field work was done by Horace B. Drury. In Mr. Drury's report, made at a joint meeting of engineering societies held in New York in December, there were listed about twenty steel plants, some large but many of them small, which had changed from the two-shift to the three-shift system with more or less suc cess. It was recognized and stated that the problem of work ing a like change in the plants of the U. S. Steel Corporation and the large independents, such as Jones Laughlin and the Bethlehem Steel Company, was quite different from that encountered in the smaller plants.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
