DEFENDS ITS POLICIES Says No Workman Will Be Per- mitted to Labor to the Injury of Health. NEW YORK, January 17.—Etbert H. Gary, chairman of the United Sutes; Steel Corporation, has urgéd his board | of directors to help him hasten elimi- nation ‘of the twelve-hour day from the- steel industry, according to-an article appearing’ in the New York Tribune. The appeal of the corporation chief is said to have beén spoken from a “confidentlal memorandum,” delivered before the board on Monday, at which time Mr. Gary broke his long stlence the Interchurch World Movement's report on the steel strike of 1913 to denounce as “prejudiced, grossly unfair and venomous” the re- port’s attack on the corporation’s la- bor policy. Defends Labor Policies. In defense of his labor policles Judge Gary is quoted as having said: | “We may and probably will be ask- ed to do or not to do certain things which give us much concern, because, after the most painstaking construc-, tion we meet insurmountablo difficul- ties, “Connected with the question of] moral principle is involved the treat-! ment of our workmen. They must| always be treated justly, fairly and humanely. i be safe and reasonable. If the work | is arduous and continuous, the hours must be comparatively 'short. If| the hours on duty are long, there should be frequent rest Interruptions. Care of Workers’ Health. “No workman will be asked or per- || mitted to work to the injury or prejudice of health. ditions of the workmen and thelr | families must be healthful, comfort- | able and pleasant “I trust we will give no cause for reasonable complaint. This is our obligation and equally our pleasure.” The steel company's report on its investigation of the problem probably will be ready by | May, said Mr. Gary. 1l “i 'am not going to argue in favor of the twelve-hour day,” he contin- | ued. “I am opposed to it, it and when | it can be eliminated; not because I|| think it is necessarily harmful, but largely for the reason that there Is| more or less public sentiment against it. This, I think, does not include more {than very few of the workmen them- | selves.” | Worried Over Question. ! He concluded by saying he was| “very much worried over the twelve- hour day question,”.and that “times and notions are changed so far as labor are concerned” since thé days | he worked long hours on a farm. And he assured his directors that: “With you I am looking for a soju- tion. T am glad we have materially re- twelve boyrs a day. Whatever you can do to further decreafe the num- bers I trust will be done, and with- out unnecessary delay.” SDAY, JANUARY 17, fdon't Working conditions must || The living con- || ] It elve-hour-day | | . ! duced the number of men on duty for |} " 1993.- FIGHT LAW FOREING .
