 The attorney has from time to time expressed himself in strong terms on the frequenting statute as 1t now stands on the books and he recently publicly challenged q local agency to show wherein conviction for violation of the dry law warranted disenfran- chisement, submitting a late decision of the supreme court As regards the greuuenting law, the attroney feels there is too great chance of abuse in permitting the arrest and convic- ton of persons found in establish ments reputed to be places where H. quor is sold or kept for sale. Modif- cation or repeal of this statute will probably be the main plank of the Casale platform if he enters the con test.

STEEL INDUSTRY
 LIKES SHORT HOURS
Elimination of Long Day Believed
 To Benefit All

New York, Aug. 2o.-The partial elimination of the tweive-hour work ing day in the steel industry has brought results so generally satisfac- tory that neither manufacturers nor employees in the areas affected would considr a return 10 the longer hours prevailing prior to August 16, 1923. Nevertheless, large proportion or the men engaged upon basic steel pro- cesses still work more than ten hours a day, while the eight-hour men gem erally work seven days a week, said a survey of steel labor conditions by s. Adele Shaw. made public today ny the Cabot Fund. This fund has fi- ranced numerous independent re- searches in industrial problems, mo- tably Prof. H. B. Drury's study or the twelve hour day in steel made In 1920.
 The seven-day week in mills where continuous operation is the rule' which was partly eliminated during the depression of 1921. was re-estap lished in 1922 and perhaps extended when the eight-hour day replaced the twelve hour day in many of these works, the report asserted. More over. there are many companies that in May, 1924. had failed to do away with the twelve-hour shift; indepeno- ents had not made the change in east ern Pennsylvania and the Birmlng- ham district independents had not completely installed the elsht-hour day, said the report.
 Emphasizing the fact that the m dustry "has by no means gone 10 al. ei.ht-hour day and a six-day week. the survey quotes compilations or the federal department of labor for the ray period January 16 to 3l, to the effect that on blast furnaces less than eirbt per cent of the men work AS hours or less week, six per cent work S4 hours week, and S2 per cent 60 hours. In the open hearth depart ments. according to the same author itv only four per cent work 4S hours week or less, while in the Bessemer converters more than half the men work 4S hours a week. AS to increases in labor required steel executives were unwilling to give .necific figures on the ground that the data covered too short a period to DC conclusive; but the report supinltteu various facts indicating that the Ill. crease in production cost as result of the reduction in working hours would be relativel ysmall.
 Tn the rolling mills, where en-houf sbifts superseded twelve-hour shifts with nayment on tonnage basis there has been no increase in the number of employees, the same output heinz obtained from 20 hours labor on the shorter shift as was obtained from 24 hours labor when the men worked 12 hours. For the same req. son, the report stated, the one-snl'' plants that reduced the worklhg oas

COMMERCE CHAMBER
 HOME IN WASH|NG7O
S2,500,0Oo Building on Site Of
 Daniel Webster'S Old Home

Washington, Aug. 20.--The new S2,500,0O0 home of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, tow ard which business men in all parts of the country have contributed, is nearing completion and will be thrown open Oct. 1.
 Standing on the site of the Wash ington home of Daniel Webster, the imposing structure faces south on La fayette square toward the White House. It is built of Indiana lime stone and is duplication, in the main of the treasury annex facing the op- poste corner of the square. It was designed by the same architect, Cass Gilbert, of New York.
 Where in days of yore stood Web ster's home, with its rich political and social associations, and it's rambling garden, fountain will play in the courtyard in the center of the build- ing. The historical aspect will be pre- served in DaHie Webster's desk, which will be used in the office of the
 president of the chamber.
 The classic Greek architectural de- sign that will house the national chamber of commerce had its incep- ton just after the World War. Busi- ness men of the country have been planning for it ever since. The cor nerstone was laid by Secretary HooV- CT in May, 1922, and actual building operations commenced in January, 1923.
 Rows of fluted Corinthian pillars, resting on a base which forms the first story. surmounted by a cornice with a simple balustrade above is a feature of the architecture. Four stories en- ter into its pres, mt plan. but the build ing is so arranged that one or two stories may be added without marrlng it's design, if pressure for space war rants it.
 The first floor will be devoted to conference rooms. The various de- nartrnents of the national chamber will be housed in the three stories ahoye. The offices of The Nation's Business, a national business magazine will be located in the building. The system of having several large offices. rather than a number of smaller ones will be followed.
 The building has frontage or l9S feet and a depth of 149 feet. me main structure extends around three sides of the slightly irregular square Al The rear, between the ends or the two wings, vet forming an integral part of the building. is the main hall
 ar auditorium. with seats for 1000 rcrsons Balconied windows look
 down on the closed court. with Its playing fountain. .-..
 The facilities of the organization oi Inc national chamber will be available to commercial organizations and trade associations that will make the ne" building their rendezvous. Ten thou sand business men. firms and organ izations have aided in making thiS
