To the Editor Of the EVentno Public Ledger:
Sir---President Harding put his ap.
peal for the shorter working day for
steel mill men on humanitar rian grounds.
lie might also have stressed the eco.
romic point of view.
1t has been sufficiently we'll deter.
mined TO be accepted MS an estab.
lished fact that the efficiency Of the
worker can not be kept at normal for
such long hours as we're once uni.
versal in the steel industry and which
are still in effect to large degree. Va.
rious tests were made during those days
of the war when it was 50 important
that labor should be as efficient as was
humanity possible. Tests. made prin
cipally in England, determined then
that long hours are not oil productive
hours. and that, If efficiency is to be
made the test, the short SHIFT Is the
more economical. The efficiency Of the
individual rapidly decreases after eight
hours of labor.
There are doubtless employers to
whom the humanitarian thought would
make no appeal. hut to whom this eco.
nomic consideration might have a de.
termining effect. ct.

Mr. Hearst is this year somewhat more
'respectable' than h" was in 1906
somewhat but not much.
Governor Miller, Republican, has
been strong Governor by all good

Discomfort due to backward business
is what induces Mr.. Hearst. no doubt,
10 consider his chances favorable. Nat.
urally, he discounts the rcpudiation

of the magic that appertains to the name

Roosevelt's nomination from ''easy

There resulted hard hitting, slap

failed by narrow margin. In that
