sion. although American experts un-
doubtedly could participate in an
economic commission. On any sug-
gestion that a conference or commits
sion plan be followed by the powers
In agreement on that course, but
without French and probably Belgian
participation, Mr.. Hughes reserved
decision.
VIII Not Cancel Debts.
From the outset there has been no
indication that the Washington gov
ernment had any Intention of cancel
ing debts owed 1t, as a result of the
war, by France or any other nation.
That Mr.. Hughes replied in the
negative to Lord Curzon's question
on the possibility of American repre-
sentation on the reparations commits
sion is held by officials to be a nat
ural and inescapable result of the
policy followed by the United States
ever since 1t refused to ratify the
treaty of Versailles. American men,
bership on this commission as set up
under the treaty was an issue In the
treaty ratification fight and even
the temporary assignment OF an
American observer" to serve unoffi-
cially with the commission was as
sailed in Congress as an unwarranted
interference in the affairs of Europe.
An effort at the last session to pass a
Senate resolution authorizing full
representation failed almost in its in
ception.
Despite their reticence. officials
manifestly are pleased that official
notice has been taken of Secretary
Hughes New Haven suggestion. and
that British officials at least have
seen in 1t the possibility of a final
solution.
The position OF the State Depart
ment is that Mr.. Hughes reply to the
British foreign minister, made public
last night, should be left to speak for
itself as a redefinition of the Ameri-
can policy. 1t is pointed out that the
communication covered the whole
field of current discussion on the sub
ject by renewing the pledge of the
United States to help in any practical
way by accomplishing the secre-
tary's declaration at New Haven last
December in favor of an advisory
solution by impartial experts, and by
setting forth again this governm ent' s
strong conviction that all the allied
nations must participate II the repa-
rations conference proposal is to be
crowned with success.

Justice Bailey Cites U. S. Of

Raid Seizures.

Justice Bailey of the District Su-
preme Court today cited Edgar C.
Snyder, United States marshal for
the District Of Columbia, to show
cause August 1 why he should not
be adjudged in contempt of court.
Claim Is made that Marshal Snyder
declined to obey an order Of Justice
Bailey to surrender the betting par
aphernaIia seized by the police in q
handbook raid at the apartment Of
John B. Keleher at 1896 1 street
northwest, and the two $50 bills taken
found in the apartment.
The United States noted an appeal
from the order of the court for the
return of the property, and Mr..
Snyder said today that he acted un-
der the advice of Assistant United
States Attorney Baker. and that the
latter will prepare an answer for him
to submit to the court next Wednes-
Attorney T. Morris Wampler, rep
resenting Keleher and Burrows, de-
olares that the appeal by the govern
ment cannot stay the execution of
the order for the delivery. He says
that the order Is self executing and
cannot be stayed by supersedas. He
admits that the mere noting of an
appeal by the United States would
act as q superSedeaS to prevent the
Issuance of any order like an execu-
tion, for instance, to collect a judge
ment, but the order to Surrender
seized property requires no such fur
ther order. he asserts.

12-HOUR DAY END
|SBROUGHT NEARER
Gary and Other Officials Meet
to Discuss Methods to Bring
About Change.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 26--Another step
toward elimination of the twelve-hour
day in the steel industry was taken
today when heads of manufacturing
subsidiaries of the United States Steel
Corporation met with Elbert H. Gary
to consider the matter. 1t was said
that the conference probably would
last several days.
The question of when the long shift
would be totally eliminated has been
raised many times since President
Harding several weeks ago made pub
lie correspondence with the American
Iron and Steel Institute, in which a
pledge was given to eliminate the
twelve hour day as soon as possible.
In announcing yesterday the confer
ence beginning today. Mr.. Gary char
sacterized as Somebody's guess" re-
ports from Pittsburgh that the long
day would be abolished by the end Of
the year.
To Consider Policy.
Today's meeting, as announced by
Mr.. Gary, was called for considera-
tion "of ways and means of putting
into effect the elimination at the
earliest possible moment of the
twelve-hour day, which involves facts
and figures more or less complicated.
One matter which it was under
stood would be discussed was means
Of procuring about $4,000 additional
workers estimated as needed when
the long shift is eliminated. Accord
ing to Mr.. Gary about $4,000 of the
steel corporations 260,O00 employees
now are working twelve hours day
A readjustment of wages also was
understood to be up for considera-
ton. -Unskilled laborers now working
twelve hours day receive 40 cents
an hour. On the twelve-hour basis,
corporation officials believe this con-
stitutes adequate pay, but If the
hours are shortened the workers
would receive only S3.20 day at the
present hourly rate.
q Mr.. Gary some time ago estimated
That elimination of the twelve hour
day probably would add 15 per cent
70 the cost of production.
