HUNT WOMAN .1 'KEY WITNESS' IN ZUTA KILLING Companions on Flight to Wisconsin Are Prey of Police Probe. By Cuittd Prrtt CHICAGO, Aug. 6—A woman who police believe may have betrayed Jack Zuta, north side gang leader, to the enem cs who assassinated him was sought today as a “key witness’ In gaogdom’s latest cycle of slayings. Three companions, one of them the woman in question, accompanied Zuta on his terror-stricken flight through a half dozen northern Wisconsin towns, police said. Fearing they might inform his enemies of his whereabouts, Zuta was believed to have deserted them and taken refuge near Delafield, Wis., where he was killed. Zuta, always known as a “talker” under police questioning, is believed to have engineered the murder of Alfred J. Lingle, Chicago Tribune reporter. Police have intimated he may h..ve Incurred the enmity of gangland and associates by statements made when he was under arrest in connection with the killing of the racketeering reporter. Questioning of the woman, or perhaps of the two men, who were with Zuta on his Wisconsin flight might turnish clews to several of Chicago’s latest gangland murders, authorities said today.

TOO MANY LONG HOUR FACTORIES, ASSERTS DAVIS •* Labor Chief Cites Value of Giving Work to More in Jobless Crisis. Bu Bcrippt-Botcard Ketctoaver AlUniiee WASHINGTON, Aug, 6.—Secretary of Labor James J- Davis belies there are “entirely too many twelve-hour d&y and seven-day week industries still to be found in this country” and he is spreading among employers the suggestion that these days and weeks be shortened. Davis made this statement to Scripps-Howard Newspapers after having received from his bureau of labor statistics a recent survey of labor conditions in the Birmingham (Ala.) area where the iron and steel industry is foremost. This work by Davis was seen as an important aid to unemployment, for figures show employment of more men in many industries when work days and weeks are shortened. “As an illustration of what reasonable hours of work per day and days per week would do for a single locality, let us take the iron and steel industry in the state of Alabama, specifically what is known as the Birmingham district,” Secretary Davis said. “The pay rolls of sixteen iron and steel plants show that only about 28 per cent of employes on an eighthour day, nearly 42 per cent on a ten-hour day, 27 per cent on a twelve-hour day, 45 .per cent on a six-day week, 32 per cent alternate having a six-day week one week and then two seven-day weeks, in other words, each third week is a six-day week, while 22 per cent have a straight seven-day week, and most of these have: the twelve-hour day. “In the plants covered, there were 4,434 employes. A straight eighthour day, even with six days a week, would considerably more than double the employment, and if that district with one industry would go on an eight-hour day and five-day week, it could employ three men regularly where it now employs one, in other words, give employment to 8,868 additional men, which would make a very appreciable dent, if not entirely absorb, Birmingham’s unemployed. And the work of these

men could be so arranged that the industry could run twenty-four hours a day insofar as that is necessary.
