TO ABOLISH 12-HOUR

DAY IN STEEL TRADE

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. May 19. The prac

ticability of abolishing the 12-hour day

throughout the steel industry of the

country will be studied by a special committee of five to be appointed from the industry at an early date, by Judge Elbert H; Gary, as president qjf the American Steel and Iron Institute. Authorization for appointment of the committee to make a scientific investigation of the matter and report its conclusions to . the industry was voted by 41 representative steel manufacturers last night after discussing the question with President Harding at a White House dinner conference to which they were invited for that purpose. President Harding's suggestion that the 12-hour work day be abolished for the good of industrial America was approved in principle by the steel man

ufacturers present without exception. Judge Gary, acting as spokesman for' the president's guests, stated after the conference that they voted unanimously for the committee investigation to

determine its practicability. Not to Interfere. The president stated, Judge Gary said, that he "did not desire to interfere with the natural and legitimate progress of business, nor to do anything except to assist industry to meet if possible, what is apparently a strong

public sentiment."

in the course or a run ana tree discussion of the question, many obstacles to the abolition of the 12-hour day were pointed out to the president, it was said, and the steel men made no commitments on the proposal.

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, May 19. The jury in the second trial of Willie Dalton, boy bank clerk, who stole $772,000 worth of Lib-

it had failed to agree The vote stooa 11 to one for conviction, it wras announced. Dalton sat with his head in his hands, while members of the jury talked with newspapermen; Asked what he thought about it he simply said, "I guess it's all. right, but they don't seem to want to give , me another chance."

Dalton's case attracted nation-wide

attention, not only because of his age,

17, and the sum he took, because of a similar case a short time ago when

Judge Kenesaw M. Landis, said that

bank officials were partly to blame

for robberies by bank clerks, because

they surrounded them with millions

of dollars and paid them small salar

ies, and thus, the judge held, provided too great a temptation. : -
