wellesley Hills. Mass, Aug. "a. =
Roger w. Babson, when today asked
to what has been the leading develop
ment In the labor situation during the
last few weeks, Immediately replied,
..The Steel corporations change of at
titude relative to the 12-hour day"
Ever since the manufacture of
steel became an industry" explained
Mr.. Babson, "the workers In certain
portions of the plant have had a L.
hour day. The reason for this is OBJ
vious. The furnaces in a steel plant
must be kept In constant operation at
white heat. They cannot be shut
down like the furnaces In a shoe fac
tory or wooden mill. Working hours
were longer when the first steel plant
was built than they are today. Con-
sequently as there are "a hours in a
day, the shifts were set at IL hours
each.
AFTER recent Investigation Vthe
steel mills reported that they would
continue on this schedule in spite of
the fact that hours in other industries
had been shortened. This brought
down storm of criticism and protest
from both working men and the gen.
eral public. Early this month Judge
Gary annouced that the steel corpo-
ration had reversed its policy and this
week one or more of the furnaces
start on an eight hour basis. 1t is in
teresting to note that in the announce
ment made on August 2, Mr.. Gary
gave the credit to President Harding,
who had urged him SO earnestly to
make this change. OF course, the
shift must be made gradually as it in
wolves the readjustment of the whole
process including basis of pay. y
THE event is of more than passing
interest, because it will serve as a
great labor test, and the results will
be carefully watched by both employ
ors and labor leaders. President
Harding and Secretary of Labor Davis
told Mr.. Gary, the president of the
United States Steel corporation, that
he would get better results per hour
on an eight-hou basis than on H.
hour basis. Or course, no one expects
the men to do in eight hours what
they did in IL, but their efficiency per
hour should increase If the eight-hour
day will do what is claimed 4 for it.
Careful tests will be made and the
results will be studied with great in
terest 1t is sincerely hoped that la
Dor will make good in its claim that
the shorter hours definitely increase
the output per hour. simultaneously
with Mr.. Gary's announcement, word
came from Sydney. Nova Scotia, stat
ing that the big strike of Canadian
steel workers and miners had been
called off by the strikers, and work
has been resumed.
Meanwhile wage increases are con-
stantly taking place on the railroads.
The Delaware and Hudson has grant,
ed an increase of two cents an hour
to two Thousand shopmen; and the
New York Central and certain other
New Britain herald., 1923-08-24
Leading Development in Industry Is
Change Of Working Hours Babson

!, roads have granted various increases
The railroad labor board Is still hold
ing that private contract work, such
as the western Maryland and certain
other roads are doing. is in violation
of the law. and that the Erie railroad
is liable for suits for recovery of re-
duced pay. On the other hand, the
president of the locomotive, firenSn
and enginemen's union says that the
government has allied itself with the
railroads in seeking the open shop.
All of this means that the railroad
labor board is granting some increases
and is refusing others which Is a
healthy condition.
THE general feeling, however, is
that wage increases have passed their
peak for this period and that the la
Dor situation is improving. Certainly
the railroads are getting very much
better results in the repair of their
locomotives and cars than they have
had for years. Moreover, they are
continuing to prospr and are loading
about one million cars week. which
is an unusually high average.
Private reports indicate that--not-
withstanding Mr.. Gary's new policy
the new monthly statement issued by
the United States department of labor
will show a decrease in employment
for August compared with June and
July. For many months there has
been an increase in employment for
the SO industries which the labor de-
partment complies and this situation
has been largely responsible for the
labor difficulties of the past few
months A turn in the tide, however,
is now taking place. This already
applies to cotton mills. wooden mills,
steel mills, steel plants and is begin
ming to apply to the building industry.
Therefore the chances now are that
there will be no coal strike this win
term fact, the coal situation has
suddenly changed from an economic
problem to a political problem. The
coal miners union may attempt to
bring about an agreement which will
terminate next year before the cleo
ton, in order to put the administra-
ton in hole at that time; but they
will probably not jeopardize the situa-
ton this fall owing to the increasing
unemployment now evident in SO
many sections of this country.
THE Babsonchart of business con-
ditions stands today at s.1eo below
normal. This Is due to many causes,
such as the foreign situation, the con-
dition of the farmers of the west. and
the extraordinary expense of doing
business Another factor which is
causing trouble in certain sections is
the over production of petroleum.
This is becoming a very serious prob
lem and prices of crude petroleum and
gasoline are subject to severe pres
sure. Just what the ultimate out
come will be is unknown but I still
feel my prophecy of year ago that
gasoline will sell at Is cents a gallon,
in many sections of the country, will
yet come true"

Estate to Pay ReparatIons.
Z Miss Gertrude G. Schmidt, the for.

death at Philadelphia recently was for
a time shrouded in mystery, provided
in her will for part Of her $4,000 es-
tate to go toward the payment. of Ger

Wireless Wave Principle.
Ships may proceed safely through

loaded with treasure may be discov-
cred and floating mines located by
the electric depth finder, the inven-
tion of which has just been an
nounced, according to Professor Lange-
vim, the inventor. Professor Langevin
holds the chair of general and ex-
perimental physics in the College of
France.
"It was during the war that 1 be-
gan to work in this direction, for the
purpose Of helping the allied navies
locate Mines" he explained.
The apparatus Is constructed on the
wireless wave principle, and objects
are found within given radius by
means of what Professor Langevin
calls wave echoes" The apparatus
is small and may be attached to a YES

him and said:
Il also would like to render you a
service. Have you anything you would
wish to ask Of me?"
Il should like to leave Russia, for
my health is ebbing fast away"

my given word" said Dzerjinsky.
whenever you wish you shall have
the authorization to leave"
"With my wife7"
"Oh" exclaimed Dzerjinsky, "that
will be more difficult, "but since have
promised, l shall also give your wife
permission to leave Russia"
The following month Mr.. Makhonine
left Russia. But he took not only his
wife but also his secret away with
him. Once he had left 1t became i'm
possible to move the wonderful train.
Today it is rusting In a corner of the
Nicolaievsk station at Petrograd.
Mr.. Makhonine is now in Paris. And
the secret which he would not give up
to Russia he is offering to the French
government for the French railroads.
He declares that his engine could run,
without once stopping, from Paris to
Nice, and at the speed of 100 miles an
hour.
my engine" says he, produces It's
electric energy itself, thanks to the
use Of naptha in a special apparatus"
placed ON the engine. Naptha Is the
only thing which my trains need to
run; they use neither water nor coal,
nor electric current, and are smoke
less"
The French engineers are rather
skeptical-like all engineers. Never
theless the facts are there. And there
is no doubt whatsoever that the ex-
pertinent succeeded In Russia. Why
should it not succeed in France?
Let us wait. The mystery of the
Makhonine train will no doubt soon
be solved-Iike all mysteries.
