ABOLITION OF
12-H0UR WORK
DAY FORECAST
Harding Believes the White
House Conference viii
Bring This About; Bunk"
GomperS States.

Washington, May 19.-Confi-
dence is held by President Hard
ing, it was declared today by an
administrative spokesman, that
the conference at the White House
last night with men controlling
the steel industry had started Il
movement which would result in
the abolition OF the 12-hour day.
The same confidence was not
held in certain labor circles, how
ever. Samuel Gompers, president
OF the American Federation of La
Dor, issued a statement declaring
that the meeting was typical os
present day effrontry of big busi-
ness, that it should use the White
House as a fostrum from which 10
give the country what the
people are accustomed to call
bunk"
Former. Judge Gary in his
statement of what was accom-
plished, Mr.. Gompers concluded.
meant that the "steel industry in
tends to abolish the inhuman 1c-
hour working day when it gets
ready and not before"
The conference was in itself
Something of an indication of the
public condemnation of steel trust
practices" Mr.. Gompers declared.
characterizing the Gary statement
''as an example of cynical decep-
ton in its outline of plans for in
vestigation of the 12-hour day sit
uation.
The White House view, however.
was that there was almost unanl-
nous sentiment among the steel
men at the conference for a con-
tinuation of the three-shift eight
hour day which was put into force
in some parts OF the industry dur
ing the slack labor period which
gave more men employment. The
steel representatives, it was said,
agreed with the president in prin-
ciple, that it was n good idea now
to abolish the 12-hour working
day but that the greatest obstacle
to this was to get the consent OF
the workers themselves.

BUSINESS SHOWS
STEADY GAIN IN
MONTH OF APRIL
Prices Were Steadier, With
Small Increases in Many
Commodities; Retail Trade
Is Improving.
lBy The Associated Press.l

Washington, May 19.-Commer-
cial and industrial movements in
April showed a steady gain de-
spite some reverse such as lower
cotton consumption. according to
the survey Of business conditions
throughout the country issued to-
night by the commerce department.
Decline in coal production, due to
the strike, the department de-
clared, has so far caused no inter-
ference with industry and very lit
tie uneasiness. New records were
made in The April operations and
in the March gasoline productions
and stocks. Iron and steel pro-
duction held its new level in April.
the department continued, while
marked increase in untitled orders
for steel indicate more active buy
ing.
Prices were steadier last month.
the department said with small in
creases in many commodities while
reports indicate that retail trade is
improving.
MAY, 1920" It added. "is the
date usually associated with the
beginning OF the recent period of
depression. 1t was in this month
that the general level of prices be-
gan to decline. During the twelve
months that followed prices on the
average dropped so per cent. 1t
has required the better part of an
other twelve months for business to
catch its breath after that MEM
ora h1e slide. That this has been
accomplished and that business is
rapidly adjusting itself 20 the low
cred plane is further emphasized
by reports received during the
first part OF May. 1922"

GUILTY VERDICT
IS RETURNED IN
kAT0NKA TRIAL
Man Implicated in the Slay-
ing of William Kelly and
Sam Croy Sentenced to
Hang on June 16.

Aztec, N. NJ, May 19.--Steve f.
Katonka, charged with compliclty
in the staying of William Kelly and
Sam Croy, Gallup taxi drivers. near
Shiprock on July 81. 1921, was
found guilty of murder in the mrs.
degree by a jury in the distrlc,
court here today and Judge Reeo
Holloman sentenced him to hang
on June 16.
Alice Katonka, the defendant $
reputed wife, testified against MN,
while Katonka was the only VIII
ness for the defense. The attempt
to have the woman testify was
fought by the defense on the
ground that Mrs. Katonka could
not testify against her husband.
District Attorney Alex. Read, how
ever, sprung a surprise by miro
ducing evidence to prove that the
woman had married a man by the
name OF Smith prior to the time
she went through a ceremony with
Katonka, and although she had ap-
piled for a divorce from Smith the
decree had never been granted.
Mrs. Katonka, or Smith, told
how. while they were riding north
ward from Gallup in an automo-
bile, Kelly and Croy in the front
seat. Katonka, at the point of a
pistol, forced her to shoot one of
the men; that she half tainted,
heard two shots and upon regain
ing consciousness found both men
dead. Katonka, she testified, put
the hodies in an arroyo, under a
bridge.
Katonka laid all the blame on
the woman.
The couple were arrested at
Pittsburgh, Pa, several months ago.

Cambridge, Mass, May 19.--Ath-
erton Kinsley Dunbar of Cam
bridge. fellow for research in cry
ogenic engineering at Harvard, and
william Connell of Cambridge, a
carpenter, were INSTANTLY killed
late today by the explosion of a
tank OF LIQUID oxygen in the base

boratory at Harvard.
Paul Hoover, Newton Falls O.,

ents were injured
Dunbar, who was engaged I'm an
army test experiment in liquifyine

nell, who was working in an ad-
joining room, was killed by the
shock of the explosion.
Dunbar was engaged in liquify-
ing oxygen under pressure, using a
compressor.
Graduate students who had been
assisting Dunbar in his expert
ments advanced the theory that
the accident was due to leakage
of oil into the liquid oxygen tank.
Dunbar had just recovered from
injuries caused by a similar,
though less powerful explosion
more than month ago. He re-
turned to his duties only two
weeks ago. According to men en-
gagged in research with him, he
was trying to work out a cheaper
process for the manufacture of
certain gases for commercial use
and also was investigating vapor
pressure. Part OF his work was
experimentation for the United
States government.
The Jefferson physical labora-
tory was completed in October,
1884. Its erection was made pos
sible by the generosity of Thomas
Jefferson Coolidge and by the en-
ergy and foresight of Alexander
Agassi2 and Prof. John Trow-
bridge. All the instruction in gem
eral physics is given in this build
ing.
