Washington, d. .-Discontinuance
of the 12-hour shift and development
of the three-shift eight-hour day in
steel and iron and other continuous
industries of the country was voted
by the executive board of the Ameri-
can engineering council, delegate body
of the Federated American Engineer
ing Societies. at meeting in Boston.
The vote stood 20 to after hot
debate in which reactionary interests
opposed the adoption Of the report.
It's acceptance will, engineers say,
greatly influence the general labor
situation and will eventually result in
far-reaching changes in labor hours
in the steel industry.
Dean Mortimer E. Cooley, of the
University of Michigan Engineering
School, president of the council, urged
the adoption of the report, calling it
a remarkable contribution of the en-
gineering profession toward the ad-
vancement of mankind
Most Important Investigation Work
Professor Samuel McCune Lindsay,
of Columbia University, representing
the Cabot fun, cooperating with the
American Engineering Council, said
the report is "The most important
investigation of any industrial stu
alton ever undertaken in this coun-
try" He quoted Professor Henry r.
Seager, of Columbia, president Of the
American Economic Association, as
sharing his views generally.
The majority of managers and eX-
ecutives of steel industries, with whom
the matter was discussed, believe,
says the report, that the good of the
industry can be better served by
eliminating the 12-hour day than by
increasing dividends, provided by
means of labor saving devices and in
other ways this step can be taken
without serious injury to the indus
try.
1t is not expected, however, that
Wall street will welcome this blow at
the god of profits and dividends on
behalf of the good of the industry
The best engineers, the foremost stu
dents of economics, and the most
prominent managers and executives
in the industrial world are on the side
of labor in the campaign for the
eight-hour shift. Eventually the u
hour day will be a matter of history
in the opinion of the engineers.
Increased Product With Decreased
Hours
"In almost every continuous indus
try" says the report, there are
plants which are operating on ar
eight-hour shift basis in competition
| with 12-hour shift plants"
In practically every major contin
uous industry, plants that have
changed from II hours to eight hour:
have increased the quantity of pro
duction per man up to as much as
% per cent.
In few cases, the report states, tho
increase has been much higher. II
| the steel and iron industry, it was
found that "the change from the Il
to the eight-hour day has secured
results sufficient to compensate il
whole or in part for the extra costs.
Other advantages of the eight-houl
| day in the steel and iron industry art
| described as increased efficiency, bet
ter morale, elimination Of the "hoat
ing gang" which is maintained t.

Uncommon Sense The Master Thought
BY JOHN BLAKE

THE gentleman of forty who takes up
L golf with the idea that he is going
to master the game will not have a
great deal of time to attend to his
business.
In most human minds there is room
for but ono master thought at Il time.
The person who expects to a be cham
pion golfer must either begin very
young or else dismiss all other important
thoughts from his mind while he is
teaching a refractory body to do unnc-
customcd things.
IIc can play golf fairly well. and
get not only enjoyment but also mental
discipline out of it even IL he begins at
forty. But he mustn't hope to be q
champion.
TNHE colleges turn out great football
L teams because the boys that play
on them make football their master
thought at least part of the year.
While they are training nothing but
football really interests them.
They take no vacation from their
pursuit-allow themselves little time to
discuss other matters.
The result is that they discover
powers in themselves Of enduring pain
and fatigue and overcoming bodily re-
sistance that they little suspected

The wilmington baseball team Will

handed to them by the Bartram Park
nine at Wilmington on Tuesday night.
Haskell expects to repeat over the Della.

The Southwest Philadelphians have
been playing fair ball since the opening
Of the season and now that the team IL
about complete, winning ball can be
looked for.
The Bartram Park manager has de-
cided to try out twilight baseball on
Saturday and has staged game with
the strong Lester Club, on his home
grounds. I'aul Harper, who last Sat-
urday defeated Shanahan, will be on
the mound for the home team.

TT IS a curious and rather an unfor-
tunate circumstance that SO few
people regard their business In the same
light that they regard their sports.
If the gentleman of forty. who has
taken up golf. would play it with only
the expectation Of being fair ct tho
game. and make his business his master
thought. his children would have II
better expectation of an Inheritance.
II he thought about his business
while he was on the golf course instead
of thinking about golf at his desk. his
associates would be better pleased with
the contributions he makes to the
mutual success of the concern.
IF THE boy who plays football would
L substitute his trade or profession in
his mind for. football when he gets out
into the world later on, he would have
little trouble about getting ahead.
1t is the master thought that makes
men what they nre. They can't be
good at everything. All the brains
allotted to them are needed for the
mastery of the thing they want most to

usually to be found in such stores.

The story of BE My Wife" was
written and directed by Mr.. Under
himself. 1t centers about the hero's
attempts to convince his sweetheart's
aunt-his arch enemy--that he should
marry her niece. Until he disposes
of his rival, he has many exciting and

THERMOMETER SCARS;
HEAT IS INTENSE TODAY

The dog days of the year have final
ly arrived. After a breathing space
OF two cool days. Old Sol suddenly
remembered that this is the month for
him to be most in the public eye, so
he turned his rays on with venge-
ance and the thermometer shot UP ac-
cordingly. At 2:30 it registered 80 in
the shade on Maryland avenue, and
had II not been for fresh breeze that
was blowing the discomfort would
have been intense. as there is a great
deal OF humidity in the air.
No change in temperature is fore
cast for tomorrow. but local thunder
storms may cool the atmosphere tenn
porarily.
AS usual with such weather, there
are a number of eases of sickness
caused by the heat. People should be
cautious of their diet and exercise as
long as the thermometer stays up IL

caps TO which they are subjected dur

the road is practically closed to traf.

from the homes at that period of the

In order for the road in question to

for the county authority over it to bs
