hand merely by an edict of the board
of directors. To effect such a change
would, of course, require sufficient time
to secure the necessary additional men,
However, similar practical difficulties
have been overcome In the manning OF
the enormously increased capacity dur
ing the past 10 years. especially at such
works as Gary, Lorain and In the
Monongahela valley.
The plea has been made that In some
cases the workmen do not desire a
shorter workday. This same statement
was made as an excuse for the seven
day week, but In both cases 1t has
come from that migratory class of
laborers whose sole aim Is to quickly
accumulate some money and return to
Europe, and which, in order to do so,
are willing to live and work under con-
ditions which are physically. mentally
and morally debilitating. 1t Is not rea-
sonable to permit this class to fix stan
dards for American citizens.

on other questions, keenly susceptible

praise.
] am hopeful that they will further
commend their great corporation to the
favor of the American people by prompt
and voluntary action looking to the
abolition OF the 12-hour day as rapidly
as circumstances will permit.
A more specific question Is: Can the
manufacturers afford an eight hour

found that costs were actually increased
so that fair return on the Investment

be shifted to the consumer by advancingl

ion. a remote contingency.
Is not this the crux Of the matterf|

What are my Views as to the 12-hour
day in the steel industry?
II the steel corporation Is permitted
by the courts to continue practically
as at present organized. the conditions
OF employment established by 1t must
ultimately prevail In the entire steel
industry. My comments will therefore
deal mainly with that corporation. The
committee Of stockholders of the Steel
