JUDGE GARY
HAS ANOTHER
PIPE DREAM

Judge Gary handed out little
more Of his long -hours-low wage pro
paganda the other day, which the
daily press helped him to put over in
good shape by running II under some
such heading as "Eight-hour Day
Spells Ruin" The judges utterance
was as typical as it was fallacious.
He professed to be an ardent believer
in the eight-hour work-day, but said
that its application to the steel indus
try at the present time would wreck
that vast business and in turn ruin
the country. "Laborers are obtained
only with great difficulty now" he
declared. "and to introduce the eight
hour day would further curtail our
production for this reason, causing
steel prices TO ascend TO prohibtiye
level" The flaw In the judges logic,
which he probably saw but which the
unthinking reader might overlook, Is
that the twelye-hour day, coupled
with low wages, is the very reason for
the shortage Of labor he complains Of.
Workers would flock TO the steel mills
in ample numbers were the eight
hour shifgt establishment and wages
elevated to a point where they would
