when did the eight-hour work day become national reality?

In 1864, the eight-hour day quickly became a central demand of the Chicago labor movement. The Illinois legislature passed a law in early 1867 granting an eight-hour day but had so many loopholes that it was largely ineffective. A city-wide strike that began on May 1, 1867 shut down the city's economy for a week before collapsing. On June 25, 1868 Congress passed an eight-hour law for federal employees which was also of limited effectiveness. (On May 19, 1869, Grant signed a National Eight Hour Law Proclamation.)

The eight-hour day might have been realized for many working people in the U.S. in 1937, when what became the Fair Labor Standards Act (29 U.S. Code Chapter 8) was first proposed under the New Deal. As enacted, the act applied to industries whose combined employment represented about twenty percent of the U.S. labor force. In those industries, it set the maximum workweek at 44 hours.

Robert Owen had raised the demand for a ten-hour day in 1810, and instituted it in his socialist enterprise at New Lanark. By 1817 he had formulated the goal of the eight-hour day and coined the slogan Eight hours labour, Eight hours recreation, Eight hours rest.

The Stonemasons' Society in Melbourne issued an ultimatum to employers on 18 August 1855, that after six months masons would work only an eight-hour day. Construction of many buildings was occurring with the rapid increase in population caused by the gold rushes, so skilled labour was scarce. Stonemasons working on the Holy Trinity Church and the Mariners' Church (an evangelical mission to seafarers), decided not to wait and pre-emptively went on strike, thus winning the eight-hour day. They celebrated with a victory dinner on 1 October 1855. When the six-month ultimatum expired in February 1856, stonemasons generally in Melbourne agitated for a reduction of hours. Although opposed by employers, a two-week strike on the construction of Tooth's Brewery on Parramatta Road proved effective, and stonemasons won an eight-hour day by early March 1856, but with a reduction in wages to match.

At the turn of the 20th century the eight-hour day was introduced by Ernst Abbe at the Zeiss plants in Jena, Germany.

The 40-hour week was enacted in France during the Popular Front with the 1936 Matignon agreements.

In Portugal a vast wave of strikes occurred in 1919, supported by the National Workers' Union, the biggest labour union organization at the time. The workers achieved important objectives, including the historic victory of an eight-hour day.

In the region of Alcoy, Spain, workers struck in 1873 for the eight-hour day following much agitation from the anarchists. In 1919 in Barcelona, after a 44-day general strike with over 100,000 participants had effectively crippled the Catalan economy, the Government in Barcelona settled the strike by granting all the striking workers demands that included an eight-hour day, union recognition, and the rehiring of fired workers. Spain was the first country to pass a national eight-hour day law. See Anarchism in Spain.

In Russia the eight-hour day was introduced in 1917, four days after the October Revolution, by a Decree of the Soviet government.

Examples of exhile in the wanderer and seafarer?

Poems of lament, exile and terror were always themes of Anglo-Saxon British literature. "The Wanderer', translated by Charles Kennedy, and "The Seafarer" translated by Burton Raffel, are examples of this theme of depression and fear. Both these old English poems reflect the grief of losing the pagan times. They show terror and loneliness of being exiled and how the Christian phase was pushing though. The men in both poems are isolated on the wintry sea, contemplating their situation, isolation and loss of times. They wonderabout the sea and life, while secluded and exiled. The elegiac poems relate to one another through theme and tone. While these poems may be depressing, they are reflecting the feeling of the Anglo-Saxon time and era. The poems mirror one another through the feeling of terror and depression while being exiled or isolated on a ship in the cold winter. They show the fear that the two sailors have. In "The Wandered", the sailor is exiled to the sea, and he is alone and

sacred. He says: Oft to the wanderer, weary of exile, Cometh Gods pity, Compassionate love, Through woefully toiling, on wintry seas With churning oar in icy wave, Homelss and helpless he fled from fate. (Kennedy 1-5) The man expresses here that he is out on the cold sea all by himself. The same idea is portraied the poem "The Seafarer".A man is forced out of his home land to the wintery sea by fate and exile. The poem reads: It tells How the sea took me, and swept me back And ferth in sorrow and fear and pain... (Raffel 1-3) Both these men are frightened and alone. They were forced out by the incoming impact of the new Christian era. The pagan times that the men loved were pushed back and forgotten. They are mourning the loss of the old times and fear the new. Therefore being exiled and pushed out of their homelands. As the men are depressed and scared, they are remembering the 'old times' of paganism. The seafarer is in great grief due to the fact that his beliefs have been...

The Wanderer conveys the meditations of a solitary exile on his past glories as a warrior in his lord's band of retainers, his present hardships and the values of forbearance and faith in the heavenly Lord. The warrior is identified as eardstapa (line 6a), usually translated as "wanderer", who roams the cold seas and walks "paths of exile" (wræclastas). He remembers the days when he served his lord, feasted together with comrades, and received precious gifts from the lord. Yet fate (wyrd) turned against him when he lost his lord, kinsmen and comrades in battle and was driven into exile.

However, the speaker reflects upon life while spending years in exile, and to some extent has gone beyond his personal sorrow. In this respect, the poem is a "wisdom poem." The degeneration of “earthly glory” is presented as inevitable in the poem, contrasting with the theme of salvation through faith in God.

Though many scholars have commented on the literal and allegorical levels of the poem, some scholars view The Seafarer as more allegorical than literal. In 1971, Daniel G. Calder presented an argument in which The Seafarer is an allegorical poem for the representation of the mind and the elements of the voyages are objective symbols of one in an “exile” state of mind. Contrasted to the setting of the sea is the setting of the land, a state of mind that contains former joys. When the sea and land are joined through the wintry symbols, Calder argues the speaker’s psychological mind set changes. He explains that is when “something informs him that all life on earth is like death. The land the seafarer seeks on this new and outward ocean voyage is one that will not be subject to the mutability of the land and sea as he has known” (268).

In 1982, John F. Vickrey continued Calder’s analysis of The Seafarer as a psychological allegory. Vickrey argued that the poem is an allegory for the life of a sinner through the metaphor of “the boat of the mind,” a metaphor used “to describe, through the imagery of a ship at sea, a person’s state of mind” (251). His arguments disagree with those of Pope and Whitelock that identify the seafarer as a penitential exile. He argues that if he were a religious exile, then the speaker would have related the “joys of the spirit” (254) and not his miseries to the reader.
