Fights If. however, the course is rough
the odds are on the Navy. for experience
has proven pretty conclusively that the
Blue and Gray crew is not one prepared
to make speed in a choppy sea.
Although the local oarsmen are not In
as perfect condition as one would wish,
they are far better prepared for their
first race than IL locked as though they
would be in the beginning of the week.
The muggy weather of some time past
has got In its work on the men and
many of them showed signs Of stiffness
on both Monday and Tuesday. On these
DAYS the first crew was way on form and
it's rowing was far from pleasing to
Dempsey. Yesterday. though. the men

of two miles in a fashion that proved
them to have recovered greatly from

Twelve Hours a Day.

THE annual reports of the bureau OF
labor on wages and hours show that in
the blast furnaces. for example, eighty
four hours a week has been the regular
working time in every section of the
country. This means practically q
twelve-hour day every day in the week.
In cases where the day shift and the
night shift periodically exchange every
week or second week one shift works
SIX days of twelve hours one week, while
the other shift works six days of twelve
hours and on the seventh day remains
on duty for twenty-four hours in order
to effect the exchange.
These are conditions of labor which
may well be termed shocking, but they
are not confined to the Bethlehem steel
works."
DIR. Neiil added that blast furnace work
was necessarily continuous process,
and that three shifts of eight hours each
offered the only plan of relief.

Neill continued. that the present hours
i'm the blast furnace industry are excess
sive, but says that competitive conditions
impose those hours upon his plant so
long as they are common to the steel
industry"
