H.R. 11651-Eight Hours for Laborers on Government Work Hearings Before the Committee on Labor, of the House of Representatives, May 3, 16, 22, 24, 28, and 29, 1906 was compiled by the United States Government in the year 1906. Over the course of several meetings, the Committee on Labor listened to and presented arguments about the length of the traditional working day. After these meetings were concluded, this book was assembled containing all of the evidence and arguments used to support and reject the proposed bill for the purposes of historical reference.

The bill H.R. 11651 specifically requested the limitation of hours of daily service for laborers and mechanics employed within the United States or any U.S. territory. The initial purpose of this bill was to secure greater worker productivity via hours of more quality as opposed to a greater quantity of hours. The text begins with the bill as it was originally proposed, then goes on to supply the reader with the transcript of arguments for and against the bill. The book also contains correspondences that discussed the bill and the opinions different lawmakers had about the bill. The publication ends with a complete index for easy reference for readers who want to look up specific individuals or specific arguments.

H.R. 11651-Eight Hours for Laborers on Government Work Hearings Before the Committee on Labor, of the House of Representatives, May 3, 16, 22, 24, 28, and 29, 1906 is an interesting read for anyone intrigued by United States politics and law. This book is also approachable to students of political science who are researching this bill or ones similar to it. This book presents a historic look at American politics and the history of labor in the U.S. which may appeal to historians and students of history alike.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents extensive records from a series of hearings before the House of Representatives Committee on Labor. The hearings centered on the proposed Gardner bill (H.R. 11651) to limit the hours of laborers and mechanics employed on projects undertaken by the U.S. government, its territories, or the District of Columbia, in order to secure a better quality of work. The bill, introduced by the committee chair, John J. Gardner, had been presented in various forms to five previous Congresses, and twice passed the House of Representatives but failed to become law. The records show testimony from labor leaders, including Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and responses from committee members and government officials. Arguments for the bill centered on the economic benefits and protections it would provide to workers. Arguments against the bill questioned its enforceability and the potential impact on government costs. The book provides insights into the legislative process, the role of labor unions, and the ongoing struggle for workers' rights in the United States. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781332017164_0
