it terms the "deplorable social and eco
nomIc conditions" OF the men employed

port was prepared by a special COM
mittee, consisting Of Rev. Charles
Stelzle DR.. Josiah Strong. and Paul L.
Kellogg.
While it is claimed by the management
that Sunday and overtime work is. In
some departments at least, optional with
the men, the report says sit is neverthe-
less true that foremen and gang bosses
have compelled men 10 work on Sunday
against their protest upon pain Of dis
charge, It was a case of this kind that
precipitated the strike.
Just before the strike the report
continues, "4,725 men, or 81 per cent of
all the employees. worked Il hours a day;
90 workmen had a l2-hour day except
on Saturdays; 4.2e3 employees had work
day OF 105k to II hours in length, gener-
ally with a half day OF on Saturday,
and At worked on other schedules not
specified.
''Twenty-eight per cent of all employees
worked regularly seven days in the week.
The total number working seven days a
week, either regularly or as overtime,
last January. the report gives as 4,Al.
or 10 per cent. The situation with regard
to Sunday work In Bethlehem. the COM
mission AYERS. is worse than that found
IN the Pittsburg steel mills, as disoOv-
cred by the Pittsburg survey"
With regard to wages, the committee
declares that 81 per cent OF the 9,lS4
employees earned less than IS cents an
hour, or s216 for a 12-hour day. and 513.1C
per cent earned less than II cents an
hour, or less than 81 IS for a 12-hour day.

LEGAL BOARD CONSIDERS
CHARLTON EXTRACTION

but not otherwise.
The ministry OF foreign affairs au-
thorizes a denial Of the report that Charl-
toms extradition has already been asked
for, but says the formalities have been
completed which will enable the govern
ment to act Immediately the boards de-
cision Is given.
The prevailing impression here is that
the United States will refuse to extradite
the prisoner II Ii is asked to do so. The
press suggests that influences are being
exerted in America to secure Charlton
immunity from punishment on the ground
that he is insane
The Vita, a radical organ, ironically
says It would be a pity IL the patriotic
Charlton, who sought the protection OF
his own country, should be sent TO Italy,
where sensational national trials are not
needed. The Judges here are overworked

Of failure to pay 1t is provided that no.
tice shall be served, and that the pre-
scribed fine shall be imposed in the event
OF failure to pay by July 10.
The corporations contend they can hold
of under the law until July 10 without
subjecting themselves to any penalty, and
they have served notice that they intend
to do this. Some of the big corporations
