Gary's Promise" Hast ened By Death of President and Trust Now Rushing to Make Good Before Shown Up.

Gary, Ind, Aug. 11.-Beginning next Monday morning unit of blast furnace workers in the great Gary mills of the United States Steel Cor poration will be put on an eight-hour work day, it was learned today.
 Elimination of the I2-hour~ working day will be effected on August I6 in the plants of the Carnegie Steel Com pany, the largest subsidiary of the United States Steel Corporation.
 Judge Gary's statement, made in confirmation of dispatches from Shar- on, Pa, gave the first intelligence of a definite date for abolition of the two shift system in those plants of the steel industry where continuous op- eration is required It is expected that the other subsidiaries of the steel corporation and the independent steel companies will effect the change soon.
 All those workers shifted from I2- hour to an eight-hour day will receive flat increase of 25 per cent. in their hourly wage. This means that their hourly pay will be changed from 40 cents to SO cents and their daily pay from $4.8o to $4. Laboring men in the rolling departments will work on Io-hour shifts instead of the present I2-hour basis and will receive no change in their present 40 cents an hour pay rate.
 Advises from Youngstown, Ohio, indicated that the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Company ,one of the largest of the independent steel manufactur- ing concerns. will lose little time in following out the program for abol- ishing the two shift system.
 The Youngstown company plans to begin actual elimination of the I2- hour day next week. This company's I2 hour men will put on eight hour turns and those working II hours will have their period of daily. employ ment reduced to 10 hours without an increase in their hourly rate of pay.

TYPOS TO PLAN FOR TRAINING OF
 LING. OPERATORS
Union to Start Movement at Con vention to Supply Future
 Demand.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. II.-P1ans for relieving future shortages in lno- type operators through development of an educational program and rec ords of steps already taken in that direction by the International Typo graphical Union will be revealed in the report of Charles P Howard, president of the union, at the inter national convention to be held in At lanta, Ga, August I3 to IS, according to an announcement made at the unions headquarters here.
 The undertaking of the union is looked upon as important because of its bearing on the handling of similar problems in other trades, and because the education of apprentices in the printing craft has for many years been subject to- controversy between the union and employing printers.
 Units of a linotype school have been installed in number of cities in cooperation with subordinate unions and 1t IS planned to work toward the establishment of one large central in- stitution, the report of the president says. One purpose of the project is said to be the transformation of the surplus of union printers, made idle by the increased use of machines, in- to mach1nIst-OperatorS and another is to reduce the number of members out of employment in the 44-hour- week strike by equipping them for linotype jobs.
 Contrary to the charge frequently made, that the union is interested in fostering shortage of printers to it's position, we really de- sire to see the industry we'll supplied with help said MT. Howard. "In evidence of that statement we need only point to the chief reform the union has attempted in recent years the struggle for the shorter work day Quite obviously the shorter work day
