NOW ON VOYAGE
TO NORTHLAND
Chief Executive and Wife!:
Given Noisy Farewell :
from Tacoma People.
(Continued irotn rmge One. I
ut the earliest moment that labor:;
required shall be available.” :
The President said the ‘‘pledge” jj
of the stocl manufacturers "would ;
be welcomed by our people as a
whole and received as a great boon
by American workers."
The letter was signed by 15 In
cluding Gary and Schwab and said
"we are determined lo exert every
effort at our command to secure In
the iren and steel industry in thlR
country entire and total abolition ol
the 12-hour day at the earliest time
practicable."
The letter of Harding to Gary,
aTler raying the former had read
tho report of the committee of the
luctltutp, said the President was
"disappointed that no conclusive ar
rangement had been proposed for!
determination of what must bej
manifestly appreciated as a practice)
that should be obsolete in American]
industry.”
For Merchant Marine.
President Harding referred to tho]
merclrant murine, school system,*
evolution away from trades to pro-!
feesior.s of business and urged re-j
qulsdtion of the wage earner as
"quite as essential as the profes->
slonal man.”
¥his lead up to the disclosure of|
correspondence as foreshadowing an!
"important 6tep" in social progress.)
President Harding said tho ad-j
ministration had been striving for a
great and efficient merchant marine.
Ho declared: “I have always be
lieved that if there had been no
war, it would have been of less
duration if we had possessed a mer
chant marine comparable with our
commercial aspirations.
“I do not for one moment believe
in government ownership operation
: us a permanent policy but I prefer
that hazardous venture to the sur
render of our hopes for a merchant
marine."
GARY’S STATEMENT.
NEW YORK. July 6.— Regarding
President Harding’s announcement
in Tacoma yesterday on the aboli
tion of the 12-hour day in the steel
industry, Elbert Gary stated today
that the entrance into the United
States of a labor supply from the
Philippines, Canada and some Euro
] pean countries would soon make
abolition possible.
Gary estimated the change would
requite 60.000 additional employees
and additional cost to finished steel
products by 15 per cent.
Gary said: "I am very glad the
President proposes to do this to our
business and other lines. The Presi-j
dent is very consistent, persistent)
and when he knows he is right he
is pretty strong and he will get u|
'full cordial support of the 6teel in-;
’ duetry in this undertaking."
Harding engine wrecked.
