In the forenoon officials of the

considered ways and means to change
the hours of its 5000 twelve hour la
borers, and in the afternoon directors
of theAmerican Iron and Steel Insti-
tute DISCUSSED the problems as 1t af-
fects the industry as a whole.
Formal announcement was with

ings but 1t was learned that directors
of the instituee decided to renew their
discussions in New York again, proba-
bly, next Thursday.
steel Corporation subsidiary heads
will continue their conferences to-
morrow morning in the Offices of
Elbert H. Gary, chairman, with the
possibility that further meetings will
be held next week.
The readjustment of wages, which
is necessary if hours are reduced. is
understood to be the chief obstacle to
immediate elimination of the much
critized twelve hour shift. Not only
will it be necessary, officials point out,
to increase the pay of the men now
employed at 40 cents an hour for
twelve hours, but employees who are
now working eight, nine and ten hour
shifts must also be considered in any
wage readjustment.
This in itself, it is said, is an intri-
cate problem requiring intimate study
of conditions in each plant. In addi-
ton the question of housing additional
employees must be worked out. This
question involves, in some localities,
the necessity of separating or segre-
eating the men of different races or
nationalities employed In the indus
try
Recently thousands of negroes and
Mexicans have been employed to keep
the plants running at near capacity,
and eevn though business slackens
some before the new program is made
operative. preparations must be made,
1t is pointed out, for periods of I'M
usual activity.
Members OF the board OF directors
of the American Iron and Steel Insti-
tute it is understood, were directed at
today's conference to return to their
respective plants to obtain accurate
information as to the attitude of their
employees. This information will be
used at the adjourned meeting next
week to evolve a fixed principle on
which to proceed in the readjustment
of wages.

BOOTLEG DIT. Seen
AS worst VARIETY
Bellevue Hospital Says Patients
Suffer Worst

New oYrk, July 2S.--The liquor OF
the Volstead era has brought to Am
erica a new brand of delirium tre-
mems, DIR. Menas Gregory, In charge
of the psychopathic ward at Bellevue.
said. Strange symptoms of violence
appear in the cases of many alcoholics
carried to that institution for treat
ment, he added.
when good liquor was legally OBJ
tainable," DR.. Gregory explained, the
victims of alcoholism that came into
my ward did not suffer from delirium
as profound as that created by our
present day hooch--I don't like to call
| it liquor Comas caused by the ques-
tionabe intoxicants now going the
rounds are more violent than they
were. under the reign of pure whiskey
"Bootleggers are selling stuff that
is poisoned through synthetization,
and drinkers consume more of 1t than
they would II good liquor were OBJ
ltainable. They reason that opportuni-
ties for drinks don't come very often:
that liquor is scarce. Then they fill
up excessively and wind up in the al
coholic ward at Bellevue.
During the last year there has
been notable increase In the num-
her Of patients suffering from alcohol
ism. Immediately after prohibition
became effective the number decreas-
ed. From 1919 to 1921 but few vio-
lent cases of delirium tremens were
reported to Bellevue. With the adj
vent of cutting plants to supply syn
thetic drinks, however, the liquor sup
ply became plentiful again for those
who would take the trouble to hunt
for a drink. If Boze Bunk told John
Doe the quart of alleged liquor. he
was selling him was. the real stuff"
John believed it-because he wanted
a drink.
THE antidotes we administer to al
coholics now are different from those
of the wet days. because varying
symptoms caused by hard jags require
us to formulate a medicine adaptable
to the peculiarities of the case. 1t I'M
veryingly is our experience that peo-
pie who get drunk on the modern in
toxicants do not recuperate as rapidly
as the DRINKS we treated prior to the
reign of Volsteadism. The poison
that drifts through the body does not
react as readily to the medicine we
administer and intoxicated people stay
groggy longer.
THE potency of our Nassauvian
bootleg hooch varies from the po-
tency of pure alcohol whiskey. 1t has
more the effect Of a narcotic than Of
undiluted grain alcohol. Even in the
face of this, men go right on consum-
ing the stuff. AS of old they stage
weekly sprees on Saturday and Sun
day nights, with the result that a good
many more of them wake IN in Belle
vue on those days than on the older
days of the week.

AMERICAN OPERA WAITS
FOR HOME RECOGNITION
Artist and Opera Must Be Encouraged
If More Production is Expected
Says Mrs. Freer.

Chicago, July 28.-American artists
and opera must be encouraged IL more
production Is expected. and one OF the
best means of such encouragement Is
an immediate change of system In
companies incorporated in the United
States, said Mrs. Eleanor Everest
Freer, national co-chairman of the
opera department, National Fedora
ton of Music clubs, In a statement
here today.
1.-THE adoption of our own language
for foreign operas will place Ameri-
can opera on an equal footing with
those of the old world, and also will
encourage closer study of our own
productions" Mrs. Freer asserted.
America has opera and music all its
own. but Americans have not yet fully
realized 1t.
. Operas Indigenous to our soil, In
their subjects, are of great fmpor-
lance, although no one advocates their
exclusive performance. The choice OF
the subject, however. should be en-
tirely a personal matter with the COM
poser. If we do not encourage our
artists we cannot expect much pro-
duction, and we cannot afford not to
leave art treasures behind us for
coming generations
More than so operas by some of the
best musicians in the country have
been published, Mrs. Freer added,
land we as Americans should insist
that they we presented along with the
classics"
