why The LONG DAY IN STEEL?
An UnecOnomic and Inhumane Practice Which Ought Il
BE Banshed From the Industry

twelve to eight hours. The increased
efficiency of men working the shorter
day has been established.
The cost of making the change has
been exaggerated, The Government
reported IN 1919 that IL every de-
partment In steel plant should 20 10
three shifts the whole expense would
not exceed 5 per cent. Only the
labor cost, of course, Is affected and
only part of the whole force are
shirt workers. With pig iron selling
at $40 a ton, The whole labor cost OF
making i, Is S1.25, of which about
eighty-three cents Is paid to shift
workers. So that II the direct ex-
pense of abandoning the long day
were shaded fifty.hfty with the men,
the whole cost to the manufacturer
could not be more than twenty-one
cents, or one-half Of per cent Of the
selling price.
The long day In steel has socio-
logical interest somewhat out OF pro-
portion to It's technical importance In
the whole process of steel. making.
1t win be recalled nat those depart
ments of the United States Steel Cor
poration and the larger independent
steel manufacturers--iike Bethlehem,
Midvale, Jones a laughlin, of Pitts
burgh--where the average twelve.
hour day Is prevalent--are non-union,
while the fabricatinR departments,
where one finds shorter hours, are
largely unionized. Does the long day
not afford the unions strong talking
point? The change in working hours
from twelve TO eight cannot advan.
tageously be made by fiat. II should
be brought about as the result of a
carefully predetermined plan In which
the workers are allowed to share the
responsibility for end results.
The very imagination through
which on the mechanical side iron
and steel manufacture has been trans
formed---with their mammoth cauld-
rons and giant cranes--only empha-
sizes the failure on the human side.
Traditional methods, thumb-rule and
waste are the inevitable accompani-
ments of long hours. No adequate
foremanship or leadership Is possible
with men working fourteen hours on
a stretch amid incessant and exees.
sive turmoil, the constant necessity
for watchfulness against injury and
not infrequently grave danger. The
higher the mechanical development Of
the industry the greater the need for
men kept physically and mentally fit.
The long day In steel persists sim
ply because it Is one of the mores Of
the industry-it Is phase of its
almost sub-conscious life. Among
H. k,..1raIc ~ indtuianole aeaneiat ad
with the industry who have been
making inquiries, practically every
one expressed himself not only as
against the long day but as con.
vinced that ii must go. II will be
an interesting study to see how much
longer an institution which has com
pIetely outlived its usefulness WY be
tolerated.

The 53rd session of the Illinois
legislature is now in session. just
what will be accomplished for the
good and welfare of the masses waits
to be seen. Governor Small in his
message made some recommendations
which should be carried out.
We should have some syslem of
TAX reform that will MAKE more
equitable distribution of the cost of
government, but not the kind the
late proposed constitution offered.
We should nave a hard roads pro-
gram that will pull Illinois out of
the mud.' No person who believes
IN progress and prosperity will op-
pose the building of good roads to
the limit in Illinois.
Governor Small pleads for the on
pofiqnity of municipal ownership of
pubic utilities, cheaper rates and a
1Ve cent car fare. He is right. We
should nave these, but that recon-

This was a we'll near the La

Washington vicinity. Both of
these made excellent showings,
but each had to be junked be-
caus of impossible fishing jobs.
1t is the general opinion that

OLD FRIEND WRITES
T'LRY INTERESTINGLY

Sweet Home, Sept. II, 1928.
Editor Telegraph:
Many thanks for the Tel
egraph, the best and newsiest
county paper published.
Myself and good wife are
now inmates of this, the old
Soldiers home. 1t is every
thing that the name implies as
to comforts. and conveniences.
Very few homes outside the big
cities can equal it in all of its
appointments and conveniences.
The building and grounds con-
sist of about 55 acres all fenced
in. The home consists of two
separate buildings, furnishing
electric lights, hot and cold
water, ice plant, steam laun-
dry. Every room is furnished
with steam heat. There are
two hundred inmates in the
home proper and hospital, and
| am told that the food Tor
each is the same. There are
about $50 OLD men and women
that are very near helpless.
The home is fronting the
east on Sweet Home Pike and
is about five or six miles south
Of Little Rock. We have some
drawbacks that | don't think
could be remeoied satisfactor-
lily. There are old veterans
here that in my opinion could
earn enough to feed themselves.
They eat heartily and then sit
around and talk all manner of
nonsense. They nearly all are
GOOD natured and illiterate and
as happy as could be. My
sympathies go out to them.
There are several that are be-
ing wheeled around in chairs.
They nearly all use tobacco in

HIGH SCHOOL
SESSION OPENS
Large CrOUd Attends Ever
ciSeS- Interest ShOWn by
Visitors.

The 1923-1924 term of the
Washington High. School be-
gan under the most auspicious
circumstances, and if the en-
thusiastic interest manifested
by the large number of patrons
and friends of the school, at
the opening exercises, is to be
taken as a criterian, Washing
ton will have one of the most
successful terms in the annals
of local schools.
Every member of the facul-
ty is experienced and qualified;
the only untried member is Mr..
l.. o. Lee, the principal, who
comes to Washington with the
highest recommendations. He
has already made a favorable
impression and it is believed he
will prove a competent instruc-
tor and careful disciplinarian.
Miss Selma Beck is new in the
local school, but a home girl,
and her record as a teacher is
known.
The two remaining members
Of the teaching corps are Mrs.
Clyde Kolb and Miss Mary
Bouldin, both former teachers
in the school.
Many talks, sound in logic
and replete with good advice,
were MADE by the patrons and
visitors, which inspired the pu-
pills to higher educational
ideals and moral strength,
Mr.. Lee in a. clear, iompre-
hensive manner outlined the
years work.
Those making talks were:
Mrs. f. r. Undertake, Rev's.
j. H. Gold, w. E. Elmore, w.
T. Sullivan, l.. j. Riding; DR..
F. o. Wood, Mr.. L. f. Monroe.
A spirit of optimism prevail
ed throughout and the interest
shown by the pupils in the be-
ginning proves that they are
in earnest and will work hard
to pass their grades.
The enrolment is more than
$50 and the outlook is bright
for a successful term of school.
Mr.. Lee desires the full CO.
operation of every patron ana
friend of the school.

GAS STRONG AT
NICHOLS NO. |
Second Good Showing Is Had
. MOnddy-Night CreW Put
To Work.

A splendid gas showing, SUI
ficient, according to Contractor
Comatte, to guarantee a good
gas well, was ha0 at the Mich
OILS No. we'll, l mile north of
Washington, at a depth of 1910
#. Monday. The sand was pass
ed up, however, and the original
purpose of the Hampstead Oil
Co. to set 8-inch casing at 1900
# and seek the deeper sand that
produced high gravity oil at
the Tycap well will be carried
out. When interviewed, Drill
er Comatte said he had brought
in big we'll with less showing
than was had at the Nichols
well and that two most prom
ising sands had been passed up
at this test, the one tnis week
and another at about 100 ft.
Mondays gas showing at the
test, which pushed the slush
from the hole with considerable
force, was had when a strata
of sand between limestone rock
deposits was entered. This
rock has been drilled about so
feet and the same strata at the
King well was 115 feet thick.
In order to rush work at the
Nichols test towers is now be-
ing run, the crew from the Nc
Nab test having been put on
last night. With the two crews
working, Manager Myers of the
Hampstead Oil Co. expects to
get results for his stockholders
in a very short time.
The fishing job at this loca-
ton terminated successfully the
latter part of last week.
The plug at the McNab well
will probably be drilled out for
a test early next week. Eight
inch casing was set at this well
for test about ten days ago
at 1900 feet when a promising
sand was uncovered.

to investigate the source of so
much Intoxicating liquors. He
and the officer went to the Ber-
ry White farm and the stripped
officer bought wine from Mr..
White. Mr.. Bearden then went
to arrest White. In the mea-
time, Mr.. White became sus-
picious and fled. Bearden pick
ed up his trail which led into
a cane brake on the creek bank.
He pushed on and soon discov-
ere6 Mr.. White lying fiat in
mud and water. The arrest
was made, but not without stub

Upon a thorough search of the
premises, seven sixty gallon
barrels of high grade wine was
found ingeniously buried in

trimmings over the barrel
graves.
He was carried to Hope and
locked up. Ills preliminary
trial will take place in Texar-

Mr.. White is 76 years old;
owns a good farm near McCas-
kill, which contains a large and
luXuriant grape vineyard which
yielded the fruit for the wine.
