Īlthough the working-day is not a fixed, but a fluent quantity, Is, therefore, determinable, but is, per se, indeterminate. Total amount varies with the duration of the surplus-labour. One of its parts, certainly, is determined by the working-time requiredįor the reproduction of the labour-power of the labourer himself. The working-day is thus not a constant, but a variable quantity. Would indicate that the 2 constituent parts of the working-day, necessary-labourĪnd surplus-labour time, were equal in extent, but not how long each of If this rate, e.g., wereġ00 per cent., the working-day might be of 8, 10, 12, or more hours. On the other hand, the rate of surplus-valueĪlone would not give us the extent of the working-day. It amounts in the 3 different working-days respectively Since further the ratio (surplus working-time)/(necessary working-time), determines the rate of the surplus-value, the latter is given by the ratio In working-day I, it is 1/6, in working-day II, 3/6, Since A-–B is constant, the ratio of B-–C to A-–B canĪlways be calculated. The working-day is A-–B + B-–C or A-–C, it varies with the variable The extensionī-–C of the line A-–B represents the length of the surplus-labour. Representing 3 different working-days of 7, 9, and 12 hours. If the labour be prolonged 1, 3, or 6 hours beyond A-–B, we have 3 other lines: Working-day I. Let us assume that the line A–––B represents the length of the necessary working-time, say 6 hours. But with this, the extent of the working-day itself is not yet given. Part of his working-day amounts to 6 hours, and is, therefore, caeteris Or to reproduce the value received as the result of its sale. He must work, on the average, 6 hours every day, to produce his daily labour-power, Of the average daily means of subsistence of the labourer takes up 6 hours, Is determined by the working-time necessary to its production. Its value, like that of all other commodities, We started with the supposition that labour-power Reaction of the English Factory Acts on Other Countries Section 7 - The Struggle for the Normal Working-Day.
