BRITAIN IS READY II LAY ALL CARDS DOWN | N TABLE
Next Move Is Expected To Be An Appeal To CiV-

LONDON, August 2.-(By Asso- ciated Press.) )-Seldom has Parlia- ment separated for d long vacation under such an ominous cloud of diff ficult relations with an allied power as it did today after grave state ments by the prime minister stan ley Baldwin, In the House of Com mons, and the secretary of foreign affairs. Marquis Cur2ou, in the House ol Lords, revealing an apparently ln' surmountable divergence of views between England and France as to how to deal with the separations question.
 Although the ministerial state ments revealed much more than had beeeu expected of the details of the associations with France and Bel glum, showing, for instance, that England, in her draft note to Ger many. plainly advised the German government to withdraw her decrees abettiug passive res stance in the Ruhr, yet the statements will leave the country in Ignorance of the Brit ish governments next step, and, judging from Lord Curzon's speech. The members themselves are not yet definitely decided on this point.

 The government clearly hopes that it may still be possible to bring pres sure to bear on the French govern ment through an appeal by laying it's case before new tribunal namely, the civilized world
 It is indicated from Paris tonight that M. Puincare has no objection to the publication Of the French side ct the case, so that within a short time public opinion will be put in possession of all the details of tho recent negotiations. In the comment in political quarters, tonight on the ministerial statements the worst fea- turc of the position as revealed to- day was considered to be that France in her reply did not deiGn even to refer Co the draft note to Germany and this was held to imply that uu- der no circumstances could the French government be induced to consent to a joint reply to Germany, IS desired by the British government
 Ihls View seems to be confirmed by semi official statement from Paris to the effect that che Frcucn note insisted that the question of passive resistance eclipsed all other questions and must be settled "hr- fore anything else was touched"

Gary Announcement. Comes As Result of Public Pro-
 test Against Long Hours
By PAUL FREDRIX heascd Wire to The Age-HeraIdD

NEW YORK, August 2.-America's s steel industry, long entrenched against the onward march of the eight-hour day, has given up the fight.
 By order of Judge Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel corporation, after con sulting with the iron and steel manu- lecturers, representing substan- tially the entire industry of this country, announced definitely Thurs day that plans for abandoning the steel mills 12-hour shifts had been completed and the work of reorganiz- ing to this end would begin at once.
 The decision follows a move made by President Harding soon after he entered the White House and carried on by President Harding through cor respondence with the steel institute. While Gary al the first meeting with the President in Washington prom ised to study the possibility of chang ing the steel work shifts from l2 to 8 hours, 1t was not until recently that there was definite indication the transaction was coming to head. Gary Wrote Harding.
 Gary wrote President Harding letter, saying that measures for mak- ing the reorganiza tion effective as soon as possible were to be taken up immediately. There followed confer ences among the steel manufacturers last week, with a final conference Thursday at which the plans were perfected and approved.
 As a result of the most pains taking investigation" Judge Gary announced afterward, manufacturers of iron and steel, representing sub stantially the entire industry of this country, will now begin the total elimination of the 12-hour day and will progress al rapidly as the sup ly of labor will permit.
 Tt is impossible to say when the changes will be completed. It will depend upon labor conditions at re- srective plants. There will be no de- lay on the part of anyone
