Credit for Eight-Hour Day
Is Given to Warren Harding

With the official announcement by
the United States Steel Corporation
and the independents that enormous
strides already have been made to-
ward the abolition of the tweive-hour
working day in the steel industry the
country is uniting in awarding all credit
for this great piece Of industrial reform
to the late President Warren @. Hard
ing.
In accepting the changed conditions.
however. editors express wonder
whether "unskilled labor will find the
acquired four hours OF additional leis-
ure an adequate compensation for the
loss OF one-sixth of their pay" which
Is about what they will lose under the
new arrangement. The Steel Corpora
tion assumes most Of the cost for the
change. necessitating an additional
outlay of some S45.000.o00 annually.
while the Iaborer will now get ap-
proximately 81 for eight hours work as
against $3.50 when he used to toll the
full twelve. The hope is generally ex-
pressed that when the unskilled workers
realize the benefits they can get through
the short working day they will accept
the situation.
Discussing this phase of the situa-
ton the Newark Evening News sug-
gests "as concerns the foreign born.
and In particular those still alien to
our ways, and who moil and hoard to
go back to the old country there is
tho possibility that their use of regu-
lar and stated periods of leisure,
coupled with their inability with
short-time underlying to accumu-
late a quick stake, may induce them
to take up permanent residence here
and absorb them and their descend
ants into American life. Where the
character of stock is fairly high this
would be downright national bene-
At, as more than half the aliens who
come to our shores ultimately return
for good. To the dead President more
than to any other pan belongs the
credit Of doing away with the twelve
hour day. 1t Is a striking coincidence
that the final decision came the day
he died, and that the eight-hour day
for these workers is in a sense his
monument"
In the opinion of the New York
Post Few workers will fail to rejoice
in the bargain" even though they
lose so cents a day, while this
enhanced attractiveness of employ
ment may stimulate the supply OF
workers in an unexpected degree.
although there Is good room to doubt
that as many as $4,000 will be re-
quired to make the change complete.
This Is the figure always used by the
steel industry. but 1t Is a maximum.
In a few years the steel magnates
will look back on the old system and
wonder why they hesitated SO long.

SHOOTING STARS.

The Immigrants.
They come from the old world, our
neighbors and friends.
To the land Of their dreaming, where
poverty ends.
And the right always conquers the
wrong.
They come with their toiling; they
come with their art.
And we who give welcome anew
Must safeguard the land, each man
doing his part,
To make all their dreaming come
true.

Ur IS not the slightest use to con-
slider Americanixation apart from
/ immigration. The two subjects go
hand in hand. We cannot hope
to get ahead IL we devote ourselves
to the training for citizenship Of
aliens within our borders and take
no heed of future arrivals. We shall
be doubling on our tracks from ig-
norance to education back to ig-
norance again. The lesson Of the
great war touching the effect of the
hyphenated citizen upon the stability
Of the republic was learned to no
purpose IL steps to prevent immi-
grants of the future from becoming
hyphenated Americans are not taken.
The dark spot in our national life
Is not the native-born citizen nor the
wholly uncultured immigrant, but
rather the naturalized American who
believes himself little better than

Men are not naturalized just be-
cause they speak the English Ian
guage, although that is one of the
first qualifications 1t is required.
not because the English language Is
a better language than any other, but
because II happens to be the lam
guage Of the vast majority OF our
people. Our Declaration Of Inde-
pendence. our Constitution. our laws
are all written in English I wish
that all our citizens, naturalized and
alien. could use the English language.
This would do away with foreign
language newspapers. which for some
time now have been discussing immi-
grafton. Transiations reveal that
editors OF these papers assume TO
speak more authoritatively upon this
subject than papers printed exclusive
ly in English. They tell US in foreign
tongues the duty of the American
people. Their views, Of course, are
diverse.
