Seven-Day Work
In coming out openly and vigorously
for six-day working schedule for the
men in the trade and putting the issue
squarely before his fellow iron and steel
makers of the country Mr.. w. B. Dick
son, first vice president of the United
States Steel Corporation, has made a
far-reaching contribution to Industrial
craftsmanship in this country" says The
Survey.
At the first annual meeting of the Amer
lean Iron and Steel institute he said: LAS
you are aYere, the United States Steel
Corporationshas recently taken some adj
yanced steps in matters vitality affecting
the relations between our various compa-
MES and their employees, namely, the re-
duction of seven-day labor to minimum,
the establishment of system of accident
and accidental death relief, and the es-
Establishment of a pension system.
I'm considering the first named /. e.,
the question of a seven-day week, we
were, of course met at the outset by the
difficulty of adjusting a six-day week to
the operations which are necessarily conf
tinuous and which are generally so reel
ognized. even by the most radical oppo1
nents of the seven-day week. This refer1
particularly to such departments as thd
blast furnaces. The corporation has not
yet been able to devise "a practical work
ing system by which the men employed
at these continuous operations can ID
given one day off in seven, and the purI
pose of this paper is to invite the col
operation of other companies operating
blast furnaces with view to devisina
some workable plan.
ut is my own deliberate judgment. afteiI
a period of almost 30 years continuousI
connection with the industry, the early
part of which was passed in manual laboll
in the mills. that the present conditional
which necessitate the employment of thI
same individual workman u hours a dasI
for seven days a week, are reproach I'd
our great industry and should not in thi|I
enlightened age be longer tolerated"

todays game, Memphis made twice as

GRIPPING THE CONSERVATION
SERVICE

At the Arts Club dinner in New
York last week Mr.. Clifford Pinchot
gave a striking illustration of the
methods of those officers of the
Government who in the name of the
law defeat its ends.
Under the former administration
of the Bureau of Forestry it was
found to be a relatively cheap and
effective way of fitting raw forest
rangers for their work to send de-
tails of them for a few weeks at a
time to ranger schools established
at four State universities and partly
taught by officers of the Govern
ment forest service.
Upon Mr.. Pinchot's dismissal
from the service, a Mr.. McCabe was
made the head of the bureau for
three or four days pending a per-
manent appointment. And this gen.
tleman, it seems, improved his lit
tie brief authority to get snap
judgment from the Comptroller of
the Treasury declaring the univer-
sity ranger schools illegal. Where
upon Mr.. McCabe sent kilograms to
the disbursing officers in the field,
ordering them not to pay the ex-
penses of the young foresters in the
Government service who had been
detailed to attend these ranger
schools.
1t was nothing to the Jealous Mr..
McCabe that the technical training
was absolutely necessary to the use
fulness of the recruits, nothing that
the method used to get that train
ing had been proved by long expert
ence to be cheapest and best for the
service, nothing that the recruits
had incurred heavy personal ex-
pense while acting under under
Government orders.
1t was enough for Mr.. McCabe
that chance was offered to make a
display of devotion to some alto
gether imaginary letter of the law.
This pose of punctilious legaIism
is the prevailing mode among those
officers of the Government depart
ments who care more for the praise
of special private interests than they
do for the efficiency of the public
service.
The President should have care
that his own ingenious legal con-
scientiousness should not be made
a cloak for such grotesque carica-
lures as this exhibition of Mr..
Los Angeles Examiner.
