REPORT
PROGRESS IN FIGHT
FOR 44-HOUR WEEK

Indianapolis, May 3-Optimism over
the progress of strikes to enforce de-
mands for the A hour work week in
job and book printing offices through
out the country was expressed by In
ternational Typographical Union of
ficials here today after their compila-
ton of reports from subordinate un-
ions.
eve have reports that 240 subordi-
nate unions are signed all on the A
hour work week basis said J. w.
Hays, secretary treasurer. "Those
signed include one half of our mem
bers who work in the book and job
printing branches of the printing in
dustry.'
Strike reports received from 125 To-
cal unions showed that $500 men are
out, Mr.. Hays said. Many reports are
yet to be received, he said.
The number affected by the strike
will be few less than 10000, Mr..
Hays predicted.
He also estimated that the number
of men idle was less than two-thirds
of the number of men that union of
ficials expected would be out on strike
to enforce their demands for the
shorter work week.

Police Trailing Girl
Thought to Be Missing
DOROTHY Arnold. n. Y.

Strong, Me, May 3-Another echo
of the world famous Dorothy Arnold
case has been heard way up here in
this little town in Franklin county,
as Mrs. Cony Montimurro. who came
here just short time ago from Cor
ham, Conn, says that a girl who has
lived neighbor to her in that place,
claims to be the missing Dorothy
Arnold. This girl married a man by
the name of Ingfiraham. They did no.
get along very well, having quarrels
that led to estrangement. Finally,
Dorothy Ingraham told Mrs. Month
munro that she was going to see her
sister who lived on Riverside Drive,
New York City. She also told Mrs.
Montimurro that she was the miss
ing girl. Mrs. Montimurro bid the IN
graham woman good bye, at the Mer-
iden, Conn, station, April %.
A week ago last Saturday Mrs. Mon
timurro returned to this place, she
having lived here previously, her
folks living here now. She was Ar
lette Harlow. She is now employed
in the Charles Foster estate tooth
pick factory. Mrs. Montimurro IS
aged about 80 years.

Slash May Is
Cannot See Way at present to
Entirely Abandon 12-HOur
Day - Means $150,000,000
Reductions in PayrOll-Sal-
aries Also to Be Cut

New York, May 3.-Wage rates of
day laborers at the manufacturing
plants of the United States Steel
Corporation will be cut about 20 per
cent. May 16, Ebert H. Gary, head of
the corporation announced late today.
Other rates, including salaries will
be adjusted equitably, added Mr..
Gary's statement issued after a two
days conference here with executive
heads of various subsidiary compan-
les
| Announcement of the cut was ac~
companied by the following state
ment by Chairman Gary:
| after long and painstaking effort
We have not been able to find a prac-
ticable basis for the entire abandon
ment of the twelve hour day or turn
in the immediate future.
! However,, we have eliminated the
twelve hour day in certain depart
ments and shall continue our efforts
in this direction with the hope and
expectation of making the elimina-
ton of the twelve hour day COM
plete during the next year. We do
not believe we can satisfy our en-
ployes with any shorter limit.
! During 1920 the average daily wage
of employees was $500 as against S6.l2
in 1919, according to corporation fig
ures. Total salaries and wages dis
tributed by the steel corporation in
1920 when the total number of en-
ployes was 267, 900, aggregated $751;
556925.
On the basis of the reduction an
nounced today, corporation officials
estimated the average cut in wages
at approximately $40 per day per
man. Roughly this will affect re-
duction in the payroll, calculated on
the present number Of employees. OF
not less than $150,000.000 annually.

All Parties in Scrap to

Chairman of Shipping Board
Says Situation Looks More
FavOrable-Sec. Davis Also
Believes Chance of Agree
ment at TOday's Meeting

Washington, May 3-Reopening. of
negotiations between the shipping
board, steamship owners and marine
workers in an effort to settle the
wage dispute which threatens tie
up of American shipping was indi-
Gated as probable today by Chair
man Benson who announced that a
conference of all the parties to the
controversy might be held here to-
morrow.
Negotiations to draft an agree
ment covering wages and working
conditions came to an abrupt end
last Friday with the refusal of the
men to accept a Is per cent. wage
cut, later made effective by the
board. The men carried their case
to President Harding who turned
the matter over to Secretaries Davis
and Hoover. The latter since have
held conferences with union leaders
in an attempt to bring about an
agreement by Cancellation.
Since yesterday Chairman Benson
said, the. whole problem has beer
directly in the hands of Secretary
Davis. He added that the situation
looked very hopeful. Discussing the
possibility of a conference tomorrow
he said. that a committee of ship
owners was on it's way here but all
the parties to such a conference
might not be here by tomorrow.
What would be the scope of the con-
ference he did not know, the chair
man said.
While Secretary Davis declined to
say whether efforts would be made to
persuade Admiral Benson to recede
from his announced stand for a 10
per cent. wage reduction, represen-
tatives of the marine engineers de-
clared, after a conference with the

SEES MENACE
IN MOUNTING
GERMAN TRADE
Hoover Asks Protec-
tive Tariff f "of a
Large Order"
Declares German Commerce
Fast Driving Some American
Lines Out of Business-Fa-
vors Plan of Assessing I'M
port Duties

Washington, May s-Immediate con-
gressional action to check the inroads
of German foreign trade in the Unit
ed States was urged today by Secre-
tary Hoover before the House ways
and means committee A revived Ger
man commerce, he said, was fast driv-
ing certain American lines out of bust
ness.
He declared for protective tariff
of large order" and spoke favor
ably Of the contemplated change in
,, policy with respect to the basis of as
sessing import duties. The commit
tee is considering the establishment
of an American standard of valua-
ton to supplant the present system
of levying tariff on the value of i'm
ports in the land of production
Such plan. he said, appeared to
be the only solution to the problem of
meeting sales by Germany and 9TH
er foreign countries whose currency
is badly deprecated. While declaring
it to be unnecessary in normal time ),
he explained that the exigencies Of
present trade conditions warranted
action of the sort proposed in the
| bills before the committee.
| Germany continues the policy of in
directly substituting her industries.
F., he said, adding that on the basis of
reports by federal agents the subsidy
amounted to around so per cent. of
the production costs.
The methods pursued in substituting
the industrials of Germany, accord
ing to Mr.. Hoover, include heavy
contribution to the railroads and 9th
er public utilities, expenses for Servi-
ces, he said, which Justly should be
assessed through channels not gov
ernmental"
| Many local subsidies exist through
out the German nation, he added, all
of which have an indirect effect on
ditieS abroad
| The Germans are able to accom-
plish the program by the issue of
unlimited quantities of paper curren-
cy, he said. He expressed the belief,
however, that this policy would lead
, to inevitable disaster It's continu-
alton permanently can not be con-
ceived. he explained, unless all eco
nomic laws are discarded.
He made it plain that while subsi-
dies were continued, the German in
dustrial nation was placed solidly in
a position for cheap production. He
cited steel prices quoted by German
firms in neutral markets at $12 ton
below American prices on the same
| grade. Other lines of American trade
were suffering likewise outside of the
! United States, he said, adding that,
while these could not be controlled,
the home market could be protected
against the increasing stream.
| The Senate is expected to take up
guments for and against the valua-
ton change during the day. Members
of the committee gave evidence of be-
| ing by no means agreed on the qucs-
tons and the session was productive
Of cross fire of exchange.
| The Senate is expected totake up
the emergency tariff bill tomorrow.
Leaders had planned to start debate
on that measure today but it's con-
sideration was delayed by discussion
of the immigration bill.

NORTHCL|FFE SAYS
PAPERS CAUSE ALL
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

London, May 3-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-Lord Northcliffe Brit
ish publisher, speaking before the
representatives of the American
Dry Goods business who are visiting
this country at a dinner in their
honor tonight, declared that the mis-
the United States were due largely
to pin pricks' in the American
press and could be cleared up
through frankness and cooperation.
Pointing out the effect Of inter-
national relations of newspaper agi-
tation, he asserted that there were
certain English papers which con-
tinually and unjustly misconstrued
American affairs, but, he added
'there are many more American
newspapers that continually and I'M
justly criticize British affairs"
Lord Northcliffe took up the ques-
tons of difference point by point,
leading with Ireland, Of which he
said: I'VE are offering Ireland very
generous terms. I believe, were
they well understood by the United
States, American sympathizers with
Ireland would urge Ireland to agree
to them"

IN. Y. JOB PRESSMEN
TO BE CUT II PER CENT.

New York, May 3-A cut of IL per
cent. in wages of cylinder and job
pressmen, press assistants and pa
per handlers, employed by the book
and job printers trades here, was an
nounced today by committee of ar
bitration approved by both employ
ers and employees. The cut was based
upon the decline in living costs. The
board includes Professor VIM. F.
Ogburn of Columbia University; Ray
mond B. Fosdick and Allen T. Burns
of the AUGMENTATION study, who
collected the necessary statistics and
reached the decision in the face OF
employers demands for a cut of q
per cent. and the workers demands
for a weekly increase of 81.
It was pointed out by the commit
tee that the reduction was not an
actual wage cut since the reduced
wages, it is claimed, would buy the
same amount of food and clothing
now as the old wages bought year
ago.

clared today that his organization
"has decided to name the time and
the place to test their strength
aaginst the alleged injustices in con-
nection with wage cuts in textile es-
adjustments in the south. He de-
clined to be more specific as to re-
ported plans to call general strike
of textile operatives.
1.-THE United Textile Workers OF
America" he said, "are willing to
meet, through their officers, an equal
number of representatives from the
manufacturers associations to prove
their contentious that employers, by
these drastic wage revisions are con-
tinuing in profiteering at the expense

HARDING WANTS
NO DISARMAMENT
Rider IN Navy BILL

Washington, May President
Harding objects to the insertion of
the navy appropriation bill of any
provision requesting him to call a ma
val disarmament conference as pro-
posed under an amendment by Sena-
tor Borah, Republican, Idaho. This
became known when the Senate Ma
val Committee began work today on
the $396,000,00O measure which has
been passed by the House.
The presidents objections will re
suit in the bill being reported to the
Senate without the Borah amend
ment, according to Senator Poindex-
ter. Republican, Washington, in
charge of the naval bill, and admin
istration forces in the Senate are ex-
pected to line up against the amend.
ment which Senator Borah plans to
fight for on the floor.
President Harding's views on the
disarmament questions were given to
Senator Poindexter and Senator Hale,
Republican, Maine. of the sub-com-
mittee, in charge of the appropriation
measure. The. president, it was stat
ed, expressed himself as DESTROYS OF
approximate disarmament" but was
represented as opposing any suGges-
ton from congress to convey a con-
gressional recommendation on inter-
national policies within the iurisdic-
ton of the executive. Senator Pom
dexter stated that such request as
hp hn !, MI ho
advisory merely. without real effect
on the presidents action and tacrc-
fore would be surplusage in the bill
It is also understood that the pres
ident reiterated his opinion that am
pie immediate appropriations should
he provided to continue the 1915 naval
building program with a view to
rounding out the navy prior to estab-
lishment of disarmament program.
That virtually all of the amend
ments. aggregating s100,000,000, added
at the last session to the House bill
which failed of passage in the Sem
ate would be re-adopted by the COM
mittee was predicted by Senator Po-
tndexter
The chief items added last March
and the subject of controversy which
caused failure of the bill in the Sem
ate during the disarmament fight,
were for naval aviation, including
two aircraft carriers and aviation
fields for new Pacific coast bases and
for fastening completion of the build
ing program.
Increased funds for completing from
two to four capital ships under con-
struction also are in prospect, Sena-
tor Poindexter said.
