(AUSTRALIAN ■ NET ZEAMND CABLE ASSOCIATION.)
(Received 26th May, noon)
NEW YORK, 25th May. The American Iron and Steel Institute unanimously adopted a report favouring the retention of the twelve hour day in the steel industry. The report was submitted by a committee 'appointed at President Harding's suggestion to investigate the desirability of instituting an eight hour day. The committee declares that a 15 per cent, increase in prices would follow the adoption of the shorter day, which the workers themselves do not want. Also, there is insufficient labour to supply three shifts daily.
