f-ptj FRATERNITY OF ENTIRE WORLD Father and Son Movement Should Be Emulated. TO MAKEJUNIVERSAL Y. M. C. A.

to Co-operate With Peace Move Workers at Geneva Conference, Says W. W. Head. Associated Press. GENEVA, Switzerland, Aug.

The Father and Son Movement, developed in America where it has become a recognized institution, is spreading cr the whole world. This was indicated today in a speecli by Walter W. Head of Omaha, chairman of the National Father and Son Committee of the United States and also president of the American Bankers' Association, before the World's committee of the Y. M. A.

"More than 20 nations," he said, "observe Father and Son Week. In the United States alone upwards of 3.000.000 of fathers and sons joined in during the post year." The Father and Son Movement originated at a Y. M. C. A.

banquet of fathers and sons at Providence, U. ii, 1907, Mr. Head stated. He said farther: Only as the fundamental principles -of world brotherhood arc recognized and accepted by the peoples of the world, can we ever hope for world peace. The men who are to direct the destiny of the nations of the world during the next generation are now the young lads who arc in our homes today.

What greater 1 privilege has a man than to give of himself a com- panioni teacher, advisor, and as an inspiration to his son. who tomorrow steps into responsibilities the significance of which we cannot conceive. "Kvcry man, whether or' not he heart, the physical rclatiion of father and son, should give serious considc- lation to his own life, the ideals for which lie stands, that his example will always prove to be an inspiration to the boy life of today in cncourrnging the spirit of world brotherhood. I the United States we believe it ino.st appropriate to obsenc' National Father and Son Week at that period of the year when, Armistice Day comes This has proven to be an opportune time not only to pay honor and respect to Wie-luillilons of fathers and sons "vho gave their lives for the ideal of world brotherhood, but a time for the fathers and sons who survme to re- consecrate themschcvto life foi that same great objective, world brotherhood, world peace. We are, therefore, planning for the observance this year to come during the week of November 9-10." The, World's Committee of the Y.

M. C. A. is planning to cooperate in making the Father and Son Movement universal. Details arc to be worked out by the Boys' Work ion staff of whiich K.

"We have learned from the tax commission that they have hecr tofore fixed the compensation for this service at fifteen cents fo reach name leported," he declared in reply to request of County Court Clerk L. L. Calvert, Georgetown, for construction of one of the new- laws. Calvert ask- c'd if the act will iterfere with the reasonable compensation provided for services of clerks by the act of 1920. "Upon an examination of the act of 1924, we find that it requires the same services of the clerk as the former law did require antl about the only change made is to provide that the clerk shall render such sen-ices free of compensation.

The new act is an amendment to the original act and a portion of the original act is re-enacted. "We are of the opinion that the provisions of the new act da not apply to the- county clerks now in office and that they will continue to receive the fifteen cents per name as their compensation until the end of their ent The assistant Attorney referred to the Belnap inheritance law, approved byGov.

Police invcttigated the case thl.i morning and took possession of the anonymous SHORTER HOURS IS BRINGING RESULTS Eliminiation of Twelve-Hour Day In (he SIccI Industries Is Satisfactory.

Associated Press. NEW YOItK. Aug. partial elimination of the twelve hour working day in the steel industry has brought results so generally satisfactory that niethcr manufacturers nor employes in the areas affected would consider a'return to the longer hours prevailing prior to August 1C, 1923. Nevertheless, a large proportion of the men engaged upon basic steel processes still work more than ten hours ft day, while the eight hou rmen generally work seven days a week, said a survey of steel labor conditions by S.

Adele Shaw, made public today by the Cabod Fund. This fund has financed numerous independent researches in industrial problems, notably Prof. H. B. Drury's study of the twelve hour day in -stell made in 1920.

The seven-day week in nulls where continuous operation is the rule, which vas partly eliminated during the depression of 1921. was re-established in 1922 and perhaps extended when the eight-hour day replaced lite twelve day in many of these works, ti'O report asserted. Morover. there arc many companies that in May. 1024 had failed to do away with the twelve hour shifts: independents had not made the change ii eastern Pennsylvania and the Birmingham district independents had not completely install ed the eight hour day, said the report.

the fact that the Industry h.tG by no means gone to an eight-hour day and a six da week." the survey quotes compilations of the Fe'deral Department of Labor for the pay period January 1C to 31, to the effect that on blast furnaces less than eight percent of the men work 48 l.ours or less a week, six per cent work 84 hours a week, and 32 per cent GO hours. In the open hearth departments, according to the same author ity, only four per cent work 48 hours a week or less while in the Bessemer Converters more than half the men work 48 hours a week. More than one company is opcrnt ing its blast three shirts with no increase in the number of men over the two-shift operation." said the report. "Testimony is overwhelming to the effect that the movement toward hours has had a beneficial effect on production." The cost of the reduced hours is expected by many authorities to prove considerably less than the $35, 000.000 a year which the United States Steel Corporation estimated, the report asserted, because of the indirect beneficial results.
