WILL HAYS REFUSES TO RECONSIDER HIS ARBUCKLE DECISION
By Associated Press

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 23.-Flat re- fusal to reconsider his decision granting Roscoe Arbuckle a chance to return to the films was. obtained in a message today from Will H.. Hays. chief of the moving picture industry to the session of the West lake Protestant church and various Los Angeles pastors who have pro- tested against any further screening of Arbuckles comedies. MT. Hays said.
 "Everything I said is reiterated end emphasized.
 About nine months Aago I sug- gestcd to those who owned Arbuckle pictures that they do not release them- This resulted in holding up of the pictures already made and the elimination of Arbuckle from work m his profession.
 t"I was sure then that the action vas right, and the only doubt at doing an injustice to the individual Arbuckle. I was sure, however, that the action was best for him.
 This has proven correct.
 This is no reinstatement of Ar buckle nor any attempt to reinstate him. This is simply a declaration that I shall not stand in the way cf this man having his chance to go to work and make good If he can.
 T am sure that in your econsidera- tion of the matter you will not be unmindfuls of the words of Him who first tauaht us to forgive"

12.HOUR DAY IN STEEL INDUSTRY IS NOT NOW POSSIBLE, GARY SAYS

CHICAGO. Dec -23. = Eventual abolishment of the 1e-hour day in the steel industry Is hoped for by Judge Ebert H. Gary. chairman of the board of the United States Steel corporation, but Germany and France are going back to the two shifts day system and there Is agitation to the same end in England in order to compete with American steel, he said today in an interview, author ized by him The steel corporation did reduce it's 12-hour workers to l4 per cent but to adopt generally. the. eiEht-hour day would, entail stagger- ing losses or an increase in steel prices. which would be a bad thing for the steel industry and the coun- try.
 The practice of "Pittsburg plus" that Is. basing the price of steel on the cost plus freight from Pittsburg to destination, instead of retarding development . of the middle west. that territory than without the sys- tenn. "Pittsburg plus" he asserted was a stabilizer by giving both buyer and seller a definite base on which to figure prices.

With such an added ex- pense as the eight-hour day must necessarily entail. we would face staggering losses or an increase n prices which would be likely to have most depressing effect upon all tuiiding and many other lines of in- dustryp

HOLIDAY PERIOD TO
 INCREASE SUPPLY OF FUEL IN CITIES
By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.--cessation of coal operations over the approach ing double holidays. in the views of officials of the federal fuel .distribu- tion office, Is expected to bring about increases in the supply of bituminous coal and anthracite in principal east ern centers immediately thereafter.
 H. b. Bell, assistant to Fuel Dis tributor Spens In charge of railroad cooperation, explained today that this result would occur, because the suspension of production would allow eastern roads to clear up yards and sidingsS on which con gestion has lately been occurring. The diversions of coal In abnormal quantities to part of the country dis added, which have been in progress during the fall, have also meant scattering of coal carrying equip- ment and have contributed to car shortages. These are now concluded.
 The holiday Is expected to assist in mobilizing and returning of the empty cars and with usual rail move ments proceeding, congestion will be reduced. Mines reopening after the temporary shutdowns will find a more plentiful car supply, MT. Bell suggested.
 Stocks of coal in nearly. all prin- cipal consuming centers, together with current supplies which can be counted on, have been estimated by the fuel distribution office as suffi- eient to secure the country against any serious deprivation during the winter President Harding arranged early this month with the fuel dis tributor, to declare off the emer- gency proclamation under which the government supervision has been maintained about January 1. The or ganizatioh is Consequently preparing to disband At the same time the situation as to rail movement of coal has been the cause of some concern.

DUBLIN, Dec. 23-Nearly 900 prisoners have ben released in the past fortnight, 1t was stated at Free State military headquarters today. Although the majority of them were given their freedom in the last few days, it was in no Christmas ar engagement.
 The course of signing of pledge not to bear arms against government had been opened to all prisoners for a considerable time, the officials added. but the approach of the holi- days induced many of the repubii- can prisoners to abandon their idea of armed activity. Owing to previ- ous experience with liberated per- sons breaking their. promises, the military authorities made careful investigation of every case before granting release.

.UPsHAW CHARGES CREATE FURORE IN
 JAP P|TAL. CIRCLES
Certain Republican Leaders Indignant at Georgia Mem- ber's Request That 0ffi-
 cials Sign Pledge
WASHINGTON BUREAU I
 THE AGE-HERALD Washington. ID. O.. Dee. 23 |

Representative w. D. Upshaw of Georgia, in calling on the President. the cabinet, the governors who re- gently conferred with the President. and all members of Congress to indulgence in alcoholic liquors. has created. a furore in Washington.
 It Is eontended that Mr. Upshaw, in his carefully prepared speech, could not have called on these celebrities and his colleagues to abstain from drinking without charging at the same time that they did drink. Ger tain indignant congressman are in- elined to remind the Georgia member that they enacted the Volstead law after having made possible the pro- hibition amendment to the eonstitu- tion, and that they had taken an oath to support and sustain the constitu- tion.
 Certain republican members are apparently more indignant over the fact that Upshaw Indirectly charged the cabinet and the President with alcoholic indulgence than bpcguse he llks's.as sgRga@ss lsas ts esssks. v There arc whisperede mutterings to the effect that Upshaw would not have made his charges so broad but for the fact that the President is d republican. 1t Is the understanding that one of the members who are termed by the Anti Saloon league. "notoriously wet" will take up the Upshaw charges on the floor, and de- mand that he cite reasons for his al- legged blanket indictment, and specify the members of Congress whom he had in mind when calling on them to effect personal reformation,
 It is said today that the officials of the Anti i-Saloon league would re- frain from comment flor the time being" It Is understood. however. that Capt. w. H. Slayton, chairman of the organization against the pro- statement. use the Upshaw speech as .garded throughout the length and breadth of the land, and are making criminals of those in high places as well as low"
 Mir. Upshaw is sitting pretty" however, and is not noticeably alarmed because of the tempest he has created. Those who know him best declare that he is not afraid lest his intimation that the laws are violated by those who made them and are sworn to defend them, will be successfully challenged.
 Epshaw, former evangelist, is a prohibitionist, personal and political. He has campaigned in all southern states in behalf of prohibition and the candidates indorsed by the Anti Saloon league.

NEAR EAST FABLE '
 NEAR BREAK TAXES CHRISTMAS RECESS.
Leaders Hope Vacation Period Will Aid in Solution of Tr0u- blesome Questions Be-
 fore Assembly
By Associated Press

Lausanne. Dec 2s.-The Near East conference has taken a Christmas re- cess until Tuesday, and there is gen. eral hope among the delegates that the two days respitc-will aid the conference leaders in finding paths of wisdom and progress.
 Christmas week las set the con- ference back rather than forward, and even the problem of the straits, which seemed on the verge of sat- isfactory settlement, was placed in peril. A new ultimatum from the Turks that If they could not obtain their desires on several points, espe- cially with reference to non-ag- gressien pact in favor of Turkey. they would not accept internal con troI for the passage of warships, has prevented settlement of the straits question.
 The Lausanne big four--Curzon. Barrere, Garroni and Ismet Pasha-- are trying to find solution outside the conference halls. The entente states have said to Turkey: We will give you your guarantee of nom aggression, but such pact WIT obli- gate the powers to be redmfsilsia 2 LRHI XQu VIII UOL. pc AttdCkeQf 4titIE- fore. give our .nternationaI oominfs- sion jurisdictton not only over the passage of ships through the straits. but the zones of demilitarizations."
 Curzon to Remain
 But the Turks say that foreign su- pervision over Turkish zones would violate Turkeys sovereignty. Lord Curzon. who will eat his plum pud- ding at Lausanne, instead of in Lon don, may win Ismet Pasha over to a compromise during the Christmas holidays.
 There are other great conference difficulties--capit and cus- toms tariffs, and@ the latter may never be settled at Lausanne. With respect to capitulations, which the Turks desire to be rid of, the allies and the United States are taking a firm attitude. They lack confidence in the Turkish Judiciary. and would be loath to have their citizena-tried In purely Turkish courts. The issue is sharp and clear. and solution of this vital problem has not yet ap- peared. The Arks seemed un- changeably determined to abolish the foreign consular courts and assert that their judges. some of whom are graduates of American law schools, are unbiased and capable.
