12 HOUR SHIFT STILL PREVAILS IN STEEL MILLS Church Survey Reveals Thousands Are Working Long Hours. Hv fi/'rittpt-Jffrtcard V eitspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—Despite the public announcement In July, 1923. that the twelve-hour day in the steel industry gradually would be abolished, a survey of 155 plants by the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America discloses more than 6 per cent of the workers engaged in shifts of twelve hours or longer. Out of 248,000 workers covered in the survey, 132,000 worked ten hours a day or more, and 16,600 more than twelve hours. More than one-fourth of the men worked seven days a week. In one plant, electric furnace men worked fourteen hours a day, seven days a week, "and many common laborers sixteen hours a clay.” Assumption Re-Examined "The popular assumption that the twelve-hour day and the sfeven-day week are extinct in the steel industry. was re-examined,” the report says. Districts covered in the survey included Birmingham, Pittsburgh, Youngstown. Cincinnati. Cleveland. Buffalo and Chicago, but the name of plants and their location were withheld. So far as possible, the data were obtained directly from the official labor charts of the plants. “In some cases there was decided unwillingness n the part of officers at plants to give information,” and this factor played a large part in the exclusion of data from twenty-one plants of four companies which were not tabulated. Wage Scale Shown Wages for common labor ranged from 24 to 56 cents an hour, with the majority receivins between 35 and 45 cents. The number of workers assigned to eight-hour shifts was 115,000 or 46.6 per cent. Some 51,000 enjoyed a work week of five or five and one-half days; 130,000 worked six days, and 67.000 seven days. Even in plants where the eighthour day is the rule, every man must work a double shift once in three weeks, to care for the switching of crews from night to day duty.

STEPPING IN STYLE—NO 11

New Balance Step Has Grace and Refinement

Here’s the Boston Balance, which Arthur Murray describes today. Study the diagram shown upper left.

The ‘Boston Balance” is described below by Arthur Murray, noted dancing teacher, in the series on “Stepping in Style’’ which he is writing for The Times and NEA Service. This is the eleventh of twelve articles. BY ARTHUR MURRAY Written for NEA Service , THERE is versatility to the Boston Balance. Danced equally as well to fox trot and waltz music, it possesses the grace and refinement which removes modern dancing from the romp and stomp of past years. But “watch your step.” Only practice makes perfect this novel dance. Begin with the left foot and do a forward waltz step of three counts —l, 2,3. (See diagram). Quickly place the right foot directly to the right side and hold the weight on the right foot for three counts—4, 5, 6. While the weight is on the right foot, close the left foot, to the right without placing any weight on the left. Repeat the entire movement of six counts, beginning with the left foot. After learning this step to waltz tempo, practice it for fox trot time, Whereas a balance step is given three beats in the waltz tempo, it is given only two counts in fox trot time. The quick steps in the waltz also are done quickly in the fox trot, Either “Singing in the Bath Tub” (fox trot) or “Love Me” (waltz) is suitable music for the Boston Balance.

INDIGESTION? “Correct It,” say the Specialists

“Now-a-days we know that Calcium Carbonate is the one sure, safe relief for gas, “sourness” and other stomach disorders.” Calcium Carbonate, properly compounded, does not burn and irritate like strong soda (and is 2 1/2 times more effective) nor does it disturb the normal action of the bowels and other organs. Best of all, it is quite harmless in any quantities. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are an ideal form of Calcium Carbonate, blended with other valuable substances. That’s why we recommend them as safest for children and best for men and women. MAKE THIS TESTS Take Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets aftre meals and note the quick relief from gas and discomfort of over-eating.
