DOUBLE PAY FOR SUNDAYS

The United States Steel Corporation
has adopted the eight hour basic day.
according to an announcement made yes.
terday by Ebert II. Gary, chairman Of
the corporation. - The principle of the
eight hour basic day Is similar to that
of the Adamson law governing railroad
employees and gives the workman an
eight hour day with time and one-half
for overtime and double pay for Sundays
and holidays.
Judge Gary's statement follows:
1.-The finance committee of the United
States Steel Corporation to-day unan-
imously approved the recommendation
Of the chairman and president Of the
corporation and OF the presidents Of sub
sidiary companies to adopt the eigh,
hour basic day. to become effective oc-
tober /. 1913. The open shop plan herr
tofore in force throughout the works viii
be continued"
The corporation and its subsidiaries
have approximately 275,000 men on
their payrolls and the new basis for
days workyis considered equivalent 10 .
25 per cent. increase in wages for laboN
The corporation now pays $4.20 for
ten hour day to common labor.
To Solve Labor Problems.
The adoption Of the eight hour basic
day Is considered one step in the dreo.
ton toward solving the increasingly dit.
flcult labor problems that are confront
ing the important steel manufacturers.
Another step taken in this direction
was announced yesterday by the Mldvals
Steel and Ordnance Company and Its
subsidiary, the Cambria Steel Company,
which have decided to formulate plan
for cooperation between employees and
employers.
With this end In view the employees
have appointed representatives who Will
confer to-day with the companies rep
resentatives for the creation OF a plan
for the mutual benefit of all.
The action of the Midvale Steel and
the Cambria Steel companies is expected
to be followed by the other important
steel manufacturers. The Midvale and
affiliated companies employ approxi-
mately $4,000 men.
A. C. Dinkey, president Of the Md
vale, has outlined the aims OF the man
agement In poster which has been
placarded about the company's plants
and says:
''The board OF directors and officers "
the Midvale Steel Company and sub
sidiary companies. recognizing the fact
that the prosperity of their companies
is inseparably bound up with the general
welfare Of their employees. propose. with
the cooperation and assent of their eri-
ployeeS, and for their mutual Interests.
to establish a plan for representation OF
employees which will hereafter govern
all relations between the companies and
their employees.

Astoria:
THE Waldorf-Astoria has been ac-
quired recently, had its own supply Of
sugar, and does not enter into the mat
ter. The McAlpin Hotel has manufac-
tured candy for the outside trade, Its
product having been for the most part
supplied to the army.
while we find that there has been a
violation In the form of excess holdings
of sugar. we are satisfied that the man
agement did not realize that this was
the case.
Their holdings of white sugar. while
occasionally slightly in excess. was not
sufficient to attract serious attention.
Their excess was in the form of raw
brown sugar. of which they bought in
November very considerable quantity
The primary purpose of this brown
sugar purchase was to enable them to
supply the needs OF their employees:
their secondary purpose being to utilize
it so far as possible in case OF emer-
