tant General Frederick Gilkyson.

ASSEMBLYMAN MORAN
MENTIONED FOR LEADER

TRENTON, July 26.-Among the
state political figures of New Jersey
who have been seen recently in state
house corridors, was d. Perry Nor
an, of Bayonne, who was during the
last legislature and the preceding
one, a member of the Democratic
assembly delegation from Hudson
county.
Moran has been mentioned for the
post of Democratic leader in the
House next year, and, in the event
that party captures the assembly,
his friends even aspire to make him
speaker of the House.
The legislator, who was here yes
terday, would, however, not specify
whether he would stand for re-elec-
ton from Hudson in the fall. He
declared that he would make his
decision known to his constituents
within about two weeks.
There are a number of aspirants
for Moran's place in the Hudson
delegation of twelve, and there
promises to be a free-for-all just
preceding the next primary cleo
ton, unless the numerous aspirants
for legislative honors retire in ia
Yor OF some one candidate.
Moran seems to have been hit di-
rectly by the query which has been
heard here of late, as to whether
$500 is enough to pay a man for sit
ting in the legislature and helping
to make the states laws. He as
serted that it costs too much, not
only in money, but in time. to come
to Trenton each winter to be a law
maker.

12-HOUR STEEL DAY
IS DISCUSSED TODAY

NEW YORK, July 26.-Heads of
manufacturing subsidiaries of the
United States Steel corporation met
today with Ebert H. Gary to con-
slider re-adjustment which will be
day in the industry. 1t was said
before the executives, called here
from the middle west, went into
session that the conference prob.
ably 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 public correspondence
with the American Iron & Steel
institute in which a pledge was given
to eliminate the 12-hour day as soon
as possible. In announcing yester-
day the conference beginning today
Mr.. Gary characterized as some
body'S guess" reports from Pitts
burgh that the long day would be
abolished by the end of the year.
Today's meeting, as announced by
Mr.. Gary, was called for considera-
ton "of ways and means of putting
into effect the elimination, at the
earliest possible moment, of the ~
hour day, which involves facts and
figures more or less complicated"
One matter which it was under
stood would be discussed today was
means of procuring about $4,000 adj
ditional workers who, it is estimat-
ed will be needed when the long
shift is eliminated.
