Description

The Eight Hour Movement: A Reduction Of Hours Is An Increase Of Wages is a book written by Ira Steward in 1865. The book is a detailed account of the eight-hour movement that took place in the United States during the mid-19th century. The movement was aimed at reducing the number of working hours from 10-12 hours a day to 8 hours a day. Steward argues that reducing working hours would lead to an increase in wages and improve the overall working conditions of laborers.The book is divided into several chapters, each discussing a different aspect of the eight-hour movement. Steward provides a historical context for the movement, tracing its origins to the early labor movements in Europe. He then goes on to describe the various strategies employed by laborers to achieve their goal, including strikes, protests, and political lobbying.Steward also discusses the economic benefits of reducing working hours. He argues that by reducing the number of hours worked, laborers would have more time to pursue other activities, such as education and leisure. This, in turn, would lead to a more productive and educated workforce, which would benefit the economy as a whole.Overall, The Eight Hour Movement: A Reduction Of Hours Is An Increase Of Wages is an important historical document that sheds light on the struggles of laborers in the United States during the mid-19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in labor history and the fight for workers' rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
