Washington, May 22---President
Harding is particularly we'll satisfied
with the outcome of his dinner Thurs
day night to the steel marnatee. ut
which he launched his movement for
the abolition OF the twelve hour day.
The first repercussion of the idea was.
however rather unexpected: Secre-
tary Flahcrty of the National Fedora
ton of Postal Employees was at the
White House early today with an ap-
peal for the Presidents assistance IN
putting an end TO ten-hour work tours
in the larger Pest Offices.
I'VE want to strengthen the Presi-
dents position" said Mr.. Flaherty
in his Commendablc effort to secure
q shorter day for steel workers, but
II is obvious that the Government
must apply this principle In It's Target
civil establishment before II can con-
s,stently urge it's adoption by the steel
manufacturers"
Additional information about Thurs
day nighte dinner was given az the
White House yesterday, II was stated
that although the President found
