12-HoUR DAY DEATH KNELL
President Reveals Pledge by Steel
Industry to Abolish Plan.

BY the Associated Press.
TACOMA, Wash. July 6.-Tacoma's
welcome to President Harding yester-
day before his departure for Alaska
on the transport Henderson was not
whit less enthusiastic than the
greeting accorded him in other cities.
despite the fact that the Presidents
party encountered the first rain since
leaving Washington. A drizzle kept
up all day. but the crowds lined the
streets early awaiting his arrival, and
fuddled in the big open air stadium,
where he made his address of the day
a good two hours before he was sched-
uled to appear.
OF outstanding significance in the
address was the first definite word
of the death knell of the twelve-hour
day in the steel industry. The Presi-
dent told of receiving a joint COM
munication from leading steel manu-
facturers, promising a shorter day
when the labor necessary becomes
available.
The pledge" If the steel manufac-
turers. the President said, would be
welcomed by our people as whole
and would be received with a great
boon by American workers"

favor of eliminating the twelve-hour
day and this we do not underestimate.

with your own expressed views we
are determined to exert every effort

PARLEY UNDER WAY
Miners Present Demand for
20 Per Cent Raise-Re-

By the Associated Press.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. J., July g.
Negotiations that probably will take
the better part of the next two
months begin here today between the
anthracite operators and the miners
to work out a new contract, If pos
sible, to replace the wage agreement
which expires August 81. More than
100 men representing either the
miners or the coal companies and
affecting $4,000 workers in the an
thracite fields of Pennsylvania, have
gathered for the joint conference.
At today's meeting it was planned
for the miners to formally present
the demands adopted at the Scran-
ton convention last week John L.
Lewis, international president of the
United Mine Workers. who has been
here several days, and chief spokes-
man for the workers. will present the
demands in an address In which he
will go generally into the reasons for
asking for an increase in wages.
Expect Flat Refusal.
According to reports here, the coal
operators are expected to fatty re-
fuse the demands. Whether they will
do 80 at today's meeting or adjourn
over to Saturday or next week to
consider more formal answer, was
not publicly known before the con-
ference began.
The demands of the miners call for
~ per cent increase in the contract
wage scales and 81 day increase for
all men paid by the day. There are
other demands. such as full recog-
milton of the union. an eight-hour
day for all employees regardless of

Second Presbyterian Church and the
united congregations erected the
present structure on New York ave-
