mUR CHMEN OF ALL CREEDS RISE
 TO CONDEMN 12-HOUR DAY SCHEME
Representatives of Fifty Million Protestants, Catholics and Hebrews Voice Hearty Disap- proval of Plan Fostered By American
 Iron and Steel Institute

New oYrk, June 8.-Representa- lives of 5oooo,ooo Protestants, Roman Catholics and Hebrews joined forces this week in a statement condemning as unworthy and untenable the argu- ments of the committee of the Ameri- can Iron and Steel Institute which recently reported unfavorably on the proposed elimination of the I2-houT day in the steel industry
 The report, made by Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the, United States Steel Corporation, at meeting of the institute in New York, and there adopted, was characterized in the statement as "shottering public conf dence."
 "The forces of organized religion in this. country are now warranted" " the statement asserted, "in declaring that this morally indefensible regime of the I2-hour day must come to an end. A further report is due from the Iron and Steel Institute-a report of very different tenor"
 The statement is put forth ins the name of the commission on the church and social service of the fed eral council of churches, the social action department of the National NOlAOIS VCA1dlO SOuHSh dlu thC social justice commission of the cen tral conference of American Rabbis
 "The plea that a shortage of labor makes impracticable the change from two to three shifts of workmen, af- lords but meager defense" says the statement. "The shortage of labor was not the reason for the failure to abolish the long day two years ago when the public waited expect antly for such a salutary step on the part of the United States Steel Corporation. At that time there was appalling unemployment which could have been in large measure relieved in steel manufacturing districts by introducing tn three-shift system in the steel industry. The task may be more difficult now than it would have been then, but a past delinquency affords no release from a present moral obligation.
 "The Steel Institutes committee finds that the entire cost of a change to the eight-hour day would have to be paid by the consumers of steel disregarding the possibility of some proportionate contribution out of the earnings of the industry Thus the safeguarding of profits becomes a consideration superior to that of the wages and hours of the workers, and the willingness of the public to pay higher prices is made condition of the accomplishment of fundamental reform" ..

 On Thursday, Friday and Saturday the Palace will present as it's gala attraction one of the most popular and highest salaried attraction in vaudeville, Gus Edwards Annual Revue. This brilliant production comes to fill its Palace en- gagenent with a record of having played nc consecutive weeks on the great vaudeville circuits of the country. From the Atlantic to the Pacific coast the excellence and pretentiousness of this brilliant production are known to theatre goers. With the revue is Gus Edwards himself, the presence of the popular American song composer, producer, manager and maker of stars lending no little interest to the pro- duction.

THE PALACE.

It is an established fact that at no vaudeville theater on any of the big circuits are vocal stars greeted more enthusiastically than at the beautiful Palace right here in New Haven. Local vaudeville goers seem to have deep appreciation of everything that is good in the line of vocal entertainment and with this in mind the Palace manage ment is ever on the watch to secure talent of this nature. The latest sing ing star to be booked is Vernon Stiles, who without dissenting voice among the critics is considered Americas foremost tenor. Vernon Stiles is the all important headline attraction at the Palace on Mon day. Tuesday and Wednesday.
 Up to the time of his discovery by Henry w. Savage, Vernon Stiles was a cow-puncher and bronco buster out on the western plains. After an intensive vocal training under the watchful eye of Mir. Savage, the star sang the tenor roles in the two big Savage productions,

is based on the ground that revision
