Better Workers, Better Town
and Better Business Result
When Long Shift Is Cut
Down
BY GEORGE BRITT

GARY, Ind, Aug. 26.-These thou
sands of blackened, overalled men.
swinging dinner buckets, who troop
up Broadway from the works
every day are a changed crowd.
The 12-hour day, Old Man of the
Sea upon the back of the steel in
dustry, has been eliminated with
the apparent result of better work
ers, a better town and better bust
ness.
There's snap in their step, ANNA
ton in their talk, and smiles on
their faces as they come from work.
Those who ride the street cars, ac-
cording to the conductors, are more
trouble than they used to be-more
boisterous, more argumentatiVe, not
such limp automatons.
They are better men to have
about the house, say their wives
and mothers. They pay more atten-
ton to the children and have re-
duced the truancy rate at school.
They are buying better merchan-
disc, say the merchants. Working
II hours a day, they would send
their wives to the stores, even for
their own shirts and suits Now
they go shopping With their wives
and demand better goods
Bank CIearings Gain
Gary bank cleariMgs for the first
four months this year were $67 ,949,-
600. They were only 56,114,000 for
the same period last year when the
longer hours were IN effect at the
mills.
The steel mills basketball league
had % teams this past winter as
compared with 10 the year before
when hours were longer. The pub
lie schools vocational classes were
crowded this winter with voluntary
applicants, without any effort to
get pupils.
With the sudden acquisition of
hours of free time, the men re-
manned sober and orderly. Arrests
show no advance, says Chief of Pc
lice w. A. F'orbis
This increase in happiness and
human wellbeing forced on the in
dustry by American public opinion,
is costing 10 per cent in steel pro
duction, according to Judge r. H.
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel corporation. Yet the corpora
ton would appear to be bearing up
under it.
Vote Extra Dividend
The directors voted an extra so
cents per share to the quarterly
dividends on common stock in Janu-
Gary said. virtually "a per cent
stock" Net earnings for the first
quarter of 1924, for the entire steel
corporation, were reported as $780,
075. AS.
That is the largest in the history
of the corporation eXceDt during
the war, and more than $4,000, 900
greater than during the first quarter
of last year.
Twice since the 12-hour day was
eliminated in October and March,
the Gary workers have set worlds
records for volume of pig iron pro
duction
Some workers bitterly dislike the
shorter work day of eight or ten
hours. They are mostly husky
young foreigners who can stand the
gait who prefer to toll longer hours,
draw more money and get back

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 21.-Ine
cotton market today opened 1lfm
mainly on much better cable advices
from Liverpool than due, although
continued reports Of crop deterlora-
ton helped the advance. First trades
showed gains of 81 to II points, and
there was active trading during the
call. October and December soon
were 81 and 81 points, respectively,
above Yesterdays close. The market
eased off somewhat after the call on
report Of showers in Texas and on
fears that the weekly weather report
might not be as unfavorable as ex-
peatAA yesterday, and October reed
eel "a 24.15 and December to 24.25'
or 13 to 20 points below the opening
highs.
The market rallied after the pub
Iicatioa of the weekly weather and
crot, summary which declared thai
the cfop had done poorly owing to
absence o. rain and high tempera-
lures. While October did not quite
reach the earlier high, December
and January made new highs at
24.40 for the former and 24.43 for
the latter, or % to 20 points above
the previous close. Later, prices
reacted rather sharply on the snow
ing Of the 10 o'clock weathe report
that light to fair showers were eX-
rerienced in a number of places N
Texas and a rain of 1.25 inches at
Temple. Reports tina the spot basis
was weakening helped the decline.
October eased off to 1882, December
to $3.50, and January to 1896, or
AZ to So points down from the
earlier highs.
The market continued to ease off
during the noon hour and all &C
tive months made new lows. Octo-
Der traded down to 1918, December
to 1882, and January to 1885, OF
81 to 81 points down from the early
highs and 20 to 80 points net lower
compared with the previous close:
The easier feeling was attributed to
lsome hedge and short selling, re-
ports of rains in the west and talk
of a lower spot basis.

COTTON

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-The cot
ton market opened steady at an adj
vance of 10 to 20 points. Renewed
covering, combined with some trade
buying and local support, was
promoted by relatively steady Liver
pool cables and apprehensions that
the weekly review of the weather
bureau would comment unfavorably
on crop prospects in parts of Texas
and Georgia. Private reports OF
showers in Texas, however, caused
some selling on the opening advance.
After selling at 250S, October con-
tracts eased off to 24.87, under real
izing and southern selling presuma-
bly, in the way OF hedging.
The weekly review of the weather
bureau indicating that rain was
needed generally throughout the
south was followed by an advance
which carried prices up to 25.15 for
October and 24.72 for December,
about % to 81 points net higher.
Covering was active for a time, but
the demand later tapered off. The
midday market was comparatively
quiet with October selling at 24.96
and with the general list showing
net advances of about to z points.
After the demand from shorts had
been supplied on the late forenoon
advance, prices turned easier under
increased offerings promoted by re-
ports of rains in central Texas and
lower temperatures in the south
west.
October broke to 24.55 and Deem
