Dinkey, old Midvale com- pany, now combined with the Bethle- hem Steel Corporation; J. A. Farrell, president United States Steel Corpor- ation; E. G. Grace, president Beth- lehem Steel Corporation; W. I. Kings of Jones & Laughlin, and J. A. Top- ping, chairman Republic Iron and Steel company. “On May 25 the committee, at a meeting of the Iron and Steel Insti- tute, reported that it was opposed to the immediate abolition of the twelve hour day in the iron and steel indus- try. The report was unanimously adopted by the institute. The report stated that the twelve-hour day in the steel industry was not necessarily injurious to the employes, physically, mentally or morally, and that the shortage of labor made it impossible to shorten hours without seriously curtailing needed production. ““The committee also reported that the abandonment of the twelve-hour day in the iron and steel industry would require at least 60,000 addi- tional employes, and would cause a 15 per cent. increase in prices; that later, if the labor supply should be increased by the removal of some im- migration restrictions and the public should be willing to pay an increased price, the shortening of the' work-day might be considered, “The worker preferred the longer shift of twelve hours, the report con- tinued, because ‘it permits larger compensation per day." bt and the Steel Following the announcement o e Pn:‘:;n:::&::l:,gu of the most | committee's report, President Hard- g investigation, manufactur- | ing expressed himself as being keetnl:y rs of iron and steel, representing sub- | disappointed with the action of e tially the entire industry of this | institute, and subsequently rfeqtuesti ountry, will now begin the total elim- | the institute to pledge itsel 2 o the nation of the 12-hour day and will [abolition of the fw:fl‘;hour ay.

New York, Aug. 3.—Plans to abol- ish the 12-hour day in the steel in- dustry, adopted at a meeting’ of the directors of the American Iron and Bteel Institute at the Metropolitan club yesterday, will be pushed forward without unnecessary delay, said Judge Elbert H. Gray, president of the In- stitute, in a statement following the meeting. The action taken by the Institute was the culmination of a series of conferences which began late in June after President Harding had asked the Institute to pledge that it would abol- ish the 12-hr. day which conditions of labor warranted that course. The president's request was made on June 18 and on June 27 the directors of the 'Institute wrote to the president saving ‘they were determined to exert every effort at their command “to secure in the fron and steel industry of this a total abolition of the 12- &T‘i:h;y at the earliest time prac- e Judge Gary’s statement follows: “Following the correspondence be- ORGANIZE IN RUMANIA Fascisti Modeled After the Party in Rome Formed in Rumania Bucharest, Aug. 3.—A Fascist party after the model of the Italian Fas- cisti, has been organized in Rumania.
