Steel Workers Long Day.

The late Andrew Carnegie in his
autobiography said the threeshift day
in steel is sure to come; that eight
hours will be the rule-eight hours
for work, eight for sleep, eight for
rest and recreation. Yet today 60 of
every 100 men employed by the Car
negie Steel company still work twelve
hours a day 1t means, in normal
times, 10000 men in twelve-hOur Jobs
in this one constituent company of the
United States corporation alone, writes
Arthur NJ. Evans in the Chicago
Tribune.
These facts are typical of a report
made by the Cabot fund after an in
quiry into the long day in the iron and
steel industry, its prevalence, and its
social and economic aspects. The sur
vey was made last summer by staff
of Investigators directed by John A.
Fitch, author of "The Steel Workers. "
The findings are brought out in spe-
cial number of the Survey magazine.
During the course of the study more
than 400 steel workers were inter
viewed, and Of these 365 gave detailed
and dependable statements of their
working hours. The twelve-hOur day
was worked by 279 of them.

A Wind That Blew Down Whole Forests

IN the closing days of the last con-
gress Senator Jones of Washington
submitted an amendment to the def
cheney bill proposing to appropriate
100000 for emergency expenditures
incident to the disposal of wind-thrOwn
timber on the Olympic National forest
and the repair and construction of
roads, fire lines, trails, telephone lines,
etc. This is an aftermath of the cy-
clone of last January, which created
a most dangerous fire trap.
"a tremendous tornado" states AS
sistant Forester E. A. Sherman, blew
down timber estimated at 5,OO0,OOO,OOO
to S,OO00O0,000 board feet, in a strip
IS miles long and 80 miles wide,
1,0OO,O00,0O0 board feet of which is
within the Olympic National forest.
This is the greatest disaster ever re-
corded in Iumbering."
A wind velocity of 132 miles an hour
was recorded near the mouth of the
Columbia river. The observer at this
station estimates that after his instru-
ments were wrecked the wind in
creased to $50 miles an hour The
highest wind velocity ever recorded
previous to this date on the Pacific
coast was 144 miles an hour, in Cali
fornia in 1856.

Miners to Center FIGHT.

Plans are under way by the United
Mine Workers of America to cOncen-

Virginia and to carry it to a finish,
John L. Lewis president of the or
ganizatiOn, said at the conclusion of
conferences with leaders Of the various
district organizations. Proposed or
ganization work in the industry also
was discussed.
Funds originally appropriated for
the relief of miners in the Alabama
strike, now ended, Mr.. Lewis said, will
be diverted to the relief of the West
Virginia strikers.
1t was said to be shown by a can

MAKES BIG LABOR COMBINE
Five Organizations United to Oppose
Proposed Twenty-Five Per Cent
Reduction in Wages.

Five labor organizations involved in
a wage controversy with the American
Steamship Owners association con-
solidated under the name of the Amer
ican Ocean Officers conference. The
organizations in the new body are the
Neptune association, the National Or
ganization of Masters, Mates and
Pilots, the Ocean Marine Engineers
Beneficial Association No. so, the
Consolidated Marine Engineers Bene-
fetal Association No. 33 and the Ma
tional United Radio Telegraphers' as
SOciatiOn.
The consolidation was viewed as a
strategic move on the part of the
labor leaders in presenting a united
front on the eve of the notice served
on the ocean tugbOat owners that the
marine engineers would not accept
the proposed 20 per cent cut. This
meant, it was said that if the own
ers attempted to put the reduced scale
into operation the engineers would re-
fuse to work.
Officials of the marine engineers and
firemen's organization said that a gen
eral wage reduction affecting 275,OOO
workers on the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts had been proposed by the en-
plOyers These workers included all
seamen, marine firemen, engineers,
masters, mates and pilots, cooks and
stewards employed in the American
mercantile marine. Secretary Oscar
Olsen of the marine firemen was au-
thOrity for a statement that the ma
rine workers opposed any wage cuts at
the present time.
Vice President Joseph Ryan of the
International LongshOremen's aSSocia-
ton, which has jurisdiction over 3'OOU
| tidewater bOatmen in the port of New
York, said that his men on all barges
on which the owners had ordered a
reduction in wages would strike.
The tidewater boatmen are now re-
ceiving $110 a month and the barge
owners have proposed a $50 reduc
tion. Conferences between the own
ers and employees have been held fol

he stood before a large gathering of

These war claims are brought into

The shipping board has cancellations

There are also claims proportionate-

large amount of other claims of mis-

KENT ASSESSMENT BOARD
SUGGESTS ALL CLERICAL ASSIS-
TANCE TO BE DISPENSED WITH
Action Arose Over a Communication
Signed by Two Members of Board
to Do Away With Mrs. Herbert

to Do Away With Mrs. Herbert
At meeting of the Kent County
Levy Court Tuesday consideration was
given a communication received from
John A. Barnard and Jonathan G.
Cooper, members of the county board
of assessment. They had recommend
ed dispensing with the services of
Mrs. Herbert, stenographer, who has
been engaged at a salary of $1,000 a
year. Harry B. Grieves, the other
member of the board, had not signed
the communication. Nothing, how
ever, was said by the two members
regarding dispensing with the SER
vices of Mr.. Gibson, who had been en-
gagged two months at a salary of S125
a month. The question was raised
whether the board could relieve Mrs.
Herbert of her work, and r. R. Ken
ney, the courts attorney, was appeal
ed to. He held that the board had the
power to recommend anything it
thought proper, but the final action
was left to the Levy Court. In an
swer to the letter of the two members
of the board of assessment the Levy
Court directed that the following note
be sent that body.
"Your communication of the 18th
inst, signed by Messrs. Barnard and
Cooper, relative to the dispensing with
the services of Mrs. Herbert received.
'In connection with the above, we
note that the term of Mr.. Gibson who
was employed has expired and in view
of the fact that the work of the
Board is practically completed, and
will therefore be very light, we would
suggest that all clerical assistance be
dispensed with until January /, 1922.
eve believe that you should ar
range among yourselves to look after
what little work will come in and that
the one member in attendance at the
Office one or two days a week, will be
able to keep matters up to date"
In order to tide over the affairs of
the county until taxes are received,
there having been little taxes for the
present year paid due to the assess
ment books being completed only last
week, the court authorized the bor-
rowing of $4,000 from the Farmers
Bank. The court directed that an or
der for $1,000 be made for the cooper
ative extension work bureau, as pro-
vided by an act passed at the last ses-
sion of the General Assembly.

In point after point we have made Nash cars
better cars and bigger values. Steadily we have
improved and developed our product, adding
new features, and new equipment, and neg
lecting nothing which could further enhance
