Favorable Sentiment.

Mr.. Harding said he had found SEN
timent favorable to the change, in dis
cussing the matter with individuals
among the leaders In the steel indus
try. but added that he found also the
conviction that the abolition OF a
twelve-hour work-day was impractical
hle without substantially unanimous
action on the part OF the employing
forces in the steel and iron industry.
The purpose Of the conference, the
steel makers were informed, was to
afford full and free discussion OF a
question which the president deemed
OF first Importance to industrial
America.
