American steel industries are in po-

in the opinion of a committee Of the

"Profits need not suffer II the change
is made with wisdom" said a report
made by the committee. ''The major

whom the matter was discussed. be-
lieve the good Of the industry can be
better served by eliminating the twelve
hour day."
Tho committee estimated that the
change would add only from . to Is

clared that In most cases this would
be less than the variations now ex-

range its program. which will be issued
as manifesto Immediately afterward. The
announcement that Reginald McKenna
will appear on the conservative platform
has stirred remarkable interest every
where. The possibility of his appoint
ment as chancellor of the excheQuer is
generally discussed, but some well in
formed conservative newspapers say
this is altogether improbable and opin-
ion is fairly general that this post will
go to Stanley Baldwin, one. OF the lead
ers in the fight against Lloyd George.
Attempts to analyze the electoral
prospects yield no results and no one
aside from the party propagandists
seems to hold a distinct opinion as
to how the 20,o00.000 voters will line
up. The position of the woman cleo
tors constitutes one of the chief
enigmas.

Marquis Curzon asking. in view of the

Scottish Temperance.
There is a strong probability. de-
clares a Central News dispatch from
Edinburgh today. that the Scottish
temperance vote, which in 1918 Was
cast solidly for the coalition. will be
cast at the forthcoming election in
cavor of candidates supporting Mr..
Lloyd George. Leading temperance
organizations are meeting to discuss
the situation, and many minor con-
ferences already have passed resolu-
tions in support of the retiring pre-
mier.
1t was pointed out by an official of
the United Kingdom alliance. the
principal English temperance organ
ization. that such an attitude would
mark departure from previous
stands of the Scottish temperance or
CARNATIONS. which heretofore had al
ways supported individuals declaring
themselves in favor of temperance
principles, regardless of parry al
lance.
if the report is accurate. however.
it is estimated such an attitude by
the Scottish temperance voters would
mean approximately 100000 votes.
judging from the anti-license vote at
the last election.
It is considered unlikely in temper
ance quarters that the Scottish tenn
perance advocates will support the
unionists In the forthcoming election,
