Gary to Abolish
1 Hour Steel Day
in Near Future
%
Influx of Laborers From Can
ada and South to Make
Shorter Hours Pos
*sible Soon.
By Aumdated Pres*.
New York, July 6.—Influx Into
northern Industrial renters of negroes
from the south and laborers from Mex
ico, the Philippines, Canada and a
few European countries, soon will
make possible the abolishment of the
12-hour day in the steel industry, El
bert H. Gary, Chairman of the hoard
of the United States Steel corporation,
announced today. Mr. Gary asserted
ha could not say when his corporation
or any other company would get rid
of tha 12-hour day entirely, hut said
he could publicly state that they
would begin to act in that direction
very eoon and would he diligent In
their efforts.
Mr. Gary's announcement followed
aotlon of President Harding making
public Thursday before sailing for
Alaska, correspondence between the
president and directors of the Ameri
can Iron and Steel Institute, in which
the latter pledged themselves to abol
ish the long day when a sufficient
labor supply was assured.
Mr. Gary estimated that the change
would require 60,000 additional labor
ers and would increase the cost of fin
ished steel products by 15 per cent.
The decision of the leaders to do
away with the long day, Mr. Gary
said, was made in recognition of the
growing public sentiment in favor of
such a step and in recognition of the
president’e attitude. He pointed out,
however, that he also had always
been opposed to the 12-hour day and
that its retention had been dictated
by circumstances.

Lincoln, July #. — State Auditor
Marsh today directed State Ac

in_,the road construction fund. The
order followed the recent development
that $420,000 of state highway claims
could not be paid because the legis
lature, according to Governor Bryan,
had made no appropriation.
Governor Bryan referred the claims
of contractors to Auditor Marsh, but
the latter said today he did not be
lieve ha could act on them without
the approval of the governor, whom
he contends Is the head of the high
way department.
A court decision Is alleged to make
it the duty of the auditor to act, re
sardless of approval of other state
officers.

Erne&t Fee itcvived at Station
—Home Brew Explodes,
Scaring Cop.
Ernest Fee, chief of the police
morals squad, was overcome by
fumes from fermenting mash during
a raid Friday afternoon at 1307 South
Sixth street.
The mash was in a small dugout,
leading off the basement, only large
enough for one man to enter at a
time.
Fee took some kerosene and went
in to destroy the mash while the other
members nf the squad waited outside.
Later they found him prostrate at
the entrance to the dugout.
It required tfie efforts of Patrol

son and Norval Searles to remove
him from the house. He was taken to
police station and attended by a po

The squad arrested Joe Moniak on
a charge of illegal possession qf

When Ole Knutson, patrol driver,
attempted to remove several bottles
of home brew as evidence, the l>eer
exploded in rapid sequence. Knut
son thought It was the second battle
of the Marne. He dropped the beer
and beat a hasty retreat, spatered
by “suds.’

Stories
By THORNTON W. BURGESS.
The Young Grouse Hears a Welcome
Sound. .
There’s magic in a cunbeam'a ray;
Before It trouble melt* away.
—Old Mother Xaturo.
A Jolly Little Sunbeam creeping In
to the hollow log wakened the young
Grouse very early in the morning. At
first she blinked and blinked and
couldn’t think where she was. Then
suddenly she remembered. She was
lost. She was all alone In that hollow
log where she had spent the night,
and she hadn't the least idea where
in all the Green Forest her mother
and brothers and sisters might be.
But she felt niucli better than when
she had crept into the hollow log
th night before. Then the Biack
Shadows had been creeping through
the Green Forest. Now the Jolly Lit
tle Sunbeams had driven out the
Black Shadows and with thorn had
gone much of her fear. She remem
bered how Whifefoot the Wood
Moure had comforted her the night
before, and she wondered If he was
still about. The memory of how big
and terrible he had seemed before
she knew who he was almost made
her laugh.
She crept to the open end of the old
log and there she sat for a few mo
ments looking out. It was very love
ly there in the Green Forest so early
in the morning. She stepped outside.
Then she shook all her feather* and
carefully made her toffet. She was
hungry. She was so hungry that get
ting her breakfast seemed to her the
most important thing in the world.
Just then it seemed more important
than finding Mother Grouse.
She' caught sight of a beetle. In a
second she had snapped it up. My,
how good it tasted! Grouse are very
fond of beetles. "There must be more
i around here," said the young Grouse
She caught wight of a beetle.
to herself, and forthwith she began
to scratch over the leaves and around
fallen logs and old stumps. It wasn't
long before she had caught all the
beetles she could eat at one time.
"It is surprising how*'much better I
feel,” said the young Orouse, talking
to herself. "Somehow I have a feel
ing that everything will come out all
right.”
Now, it wasn't surprising that she
felt so much hetter. There is noth
ing like bright sunshine and a full
stomach to make one feel better. She
flew up in a he; Just to try her
wings. Tiien she taught sight of
Whitefoot the Wood Mouse, and flew
down again to say good morning.
"What are you going to do now?"
asked Whitefoot in his squeaky
voice.
"I don't know,” replied the young
Qrouse. "I suppose there isn't any
thing for me to do but tsart off
again to hunt for my mother.''
“Don't you do it," replied White
foot. “You stay right around here.
You may be sure that your mother
is looking for you, and she is a great
deal more likely to find you than you
are to find her. She'll visit every
part of the Green Forest before she
gives up, so sooner or lat'-r she is
bound to come here."
It was a very pleasant place there,
so the young Grouse decided to heed
Whitefoot's advice. She squatted
down under a f»rn, for her stomach
was so full that she didn’t feel like
moving about much. She actually
dozed off. She was awakened by a
loud noise. It might have startled
you or me. But it didn't startle that
young Grouse You see, it was a most
welcome sound. It was the whirr of
stout wings, a whirr such as nothing
but a Grouse can make. A moment
later Mother Grouse came sailing
over the tree tops and alighted a
short distance away. You should have
seen that young Grouse ran to her
| mother. My, my, how her small
legs dirt fly! And you should have
seen the welcome her mother gave
her. Then Mrs. Oroti e clucked and
presently the rest of the family came
hurrying up. Mrs. Grouse counted
them. Once more there were 12.
Then proudly she led them off
through the Green Forest.

Gigantic Adam and Eve
for John D.’s Estate
New York. July 6.—A gigantic
sculptured group of Adam and Eve,
each figure about 25 feet high and
weighing 125 tons, designed and
hewn from pure white Carrara marble
by George Grey Barnard, has been
purchased by John D. Rockefeller and
will be erected In a "Garden of Eden"
on the Rockefeller estate at Pocantico
Hills, N. Y., it was learned today.
The group, so posed that Eve seems
to be rising out of a rib of Adam, will
be placed in a marble arched back
ground now being completed by
I Italian sculpt4rs, on the Rockefeller
estate, when Mr. Barnard returns
from a month's vacation in Canada.
The Adam and Eve group is one of
the boldest conceptions of the subject
ever shown, according to the New
York Evening World, which asserted
it took Mr. Rockefeller years to over
come a belief that the nude In art was
demoralizing.
