Seldom, since the fateful, day in

had the prospect for peace between
England and the people of that isle

Nickolas Breakspear, the mendicant

only English pontiff, whose reign of
the Holy ace was, one ot the most
remarkable in the annals of the

Permanent
Labor Plan

Industrial Conference to Tale
Up Lading Remedy fur
Prevention of Turin-
plo)inent in V. S.
Will Plan For Future
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNINC
Washington, Oct. 1. Following
the adoption yetcnlay of enter
gency measures to lessen the volume
of unemployment which fore
thadows widespread suffering next
winter. President Harding s indus
trial conference began today consid
eration of a permanent remedy for
the unemployment evil.
N'o reform of greater benefit to the
country could be achieved, in the
opinion of the president, than con
structive public action for the preven
tion of unemployment.
"If unemployment is to be at
tacked with vigor." says the report
of the economic advisory committee
to the conference, "and with a pros
pect of lasting success, steps must
lie taken now to deal with the prob
lem even well in advance of the next
upward trend of business. When the
next downward phase of the business
cycle comes it will be too late for the
application of the most effective
means of assistance. For intelligent
and farsightcd action we believe cer
tain kinds of statistical information
are essential and the gathering of
such data should be promptly under
taken.
Will Plan Public Works.
"We also believe an effort should
now be made to set up a machinery
for the long-range planning of public
works to mesh in with the fluctu
ations of private demands for labor.
"Probably most promising of all is
the opportunity now offered to bring
home to the public mind the sig
nificance of the business cycle and to
enlist the individual enterprise of
business managers singly and
through trade associations in the
work of regularizing employment
within their own establishments.
Stabilization of business and the
avoidance of recurring industrial de
pressions and crises "are in no small
measure dependent upon a more
comolete knowledee of the factors
affectina- the business situation," and
the committee recommends that the
government collect and disseminate
information on inventories, go jdi on
order, production and production ca
pacity, construction, weekly earnings
and hours by trades and establish
ments, employment, cost fundamen
tals, prices, probable . demands for
or consumption of specific articles
and other significant cycle figures
Would Defer Expenditures.
A municipal, state and federal pub
lic works, the committee holds,
should be contracted in years of in
dustrial activity and expanded in
years of depression to revive private
industry and to check industrial de
pression and unemployment to pre
vent the demand of public works for
materials and labor from conflicting
with the needs of private industry and
in general to stabilize industry and
employment.
It is suggested that at least 10 per
cent of the average annual expendi
tures on public works be deferred
during good, times and the deferred
accumulations executed in a year of
hard times, which occurs about, every
10 years. Another suggestion is a
federal bond issue as a loan in aid
of municipal public works in years
of depression.
Otto T. Mallery of the industrial
board of Pennsylvania estimates the
lifting power of public works as one-
third of the dead weight of such de
pression as ' the present that is
$1,650,000,000 of additional public
works wages contrasted witn a de
crease of $5,000,000,000 in wages in
private industry in a year,ot de
pression.
"Save Your Overtime."
The committee makes numerous
suggestions to employers to reduce
the fluctuations of seasonable em
ployment and to exercise such fore
sight in the management of business
as will minimize cyclical unemploy
ment. "In flush times save your
overtime," should be a slogan, says
the committee, which continues:
On the upwave we are taking
the country as a whole and especially
the ultimate consumer stocking up.
On the downward wave we are
drawing from stocks. It is at the
speculative froth on the wave oi
prosperity that we want to aim our
strongest efforts.
Ihe normal sequence is subject to
accidents such as war, natural calam
ity (crop failure, earthquake) and
revolution in political control, in
technical advice, or In consumers
demand, and in one part or another
of the business structure, such ac
cidents are continuous. They cannot
be specifically guarded against, but
are best met by building up the re
sistance of the whole structure by
the avoidance of the strains of over
extension and prostration.
Safety Lies in Planning. .
"For individual enterprises as for
public undertakings safety lies in
planning. If most of them were
planned well ahead we could expect
a healthy swing to the cycle, broken
only by occasional calamity.
It is just where the screws must
be put upon inflation that citizen ed-

Senator Blames
Organized Labor
For Lack of Work
Minnesota Republican
Launches Bitter Attack on
Trade Union Shouts tie-
fiance to Rail Urotlierhootl
Chlraga TrlbuiM-Omaha IIm iMmed Wlm.
Washington, Oct. 1. Blame for in
dustrial depression and unemploy
ment was laid at the door of organ
ized labor by Senator Knute Nelson
of Minnesota, republican, in a bitter
attack in the senate upon the trade
unions.
Senator Nelson charged that la
br.r's refusal to accept reduced wages
was the chief obstacle to an mdus
trial and business revival. He shout
ed defiance at the railroad broth'
erhoods and expressed the opinion
that it might be well for them to
carry out their strike threats in order
that the railroad controversy might
be brought to a showdown and defi
nitely settled.
The Minnesota senator warmly
praised the recent decision of Judge
Landis reducing wages in the build
ing trades in Chicago. He criticised
the unions for opposing the reduc
tion. "When Judge Landis made a rea
sonable reduction for the building
trades in Chicago it was very mod
erate and very reasonable they pro
tested and threatened to strike,"
said Senator Nelson. "Under such
conditions, if they find themselves in
idleness they are themselves to
blame."
Democrat Raps Wall Street
Senator Nelson's attack aroused
the ire of Senator Heflin of Alabama,
democrat. lie placed responsibility
for present conditions upon "Wail
street" and warmly assailed the re
publican administration for taking no
action to prevent the payment of
Jargc salaries by the New York fed
eral reserve hank. The salaries paid '
to 30 officials in the New York bank,
he asserted, would equal the salaries
of half the United States senate
and that of the president Senator
Smoot of Utah, republican, stated
that he had complained to the federal
reserve board of the salaries paid by
the bank, but that he regarded the
matter as outside the power of con
gress.
Senator Nelson's speech was de
livered in the course of debate on
the tax bill. -
"My opinion is there is nothing
that so retards industrial revival in
this country as the attitude of organ
ized labor in refusing to come down
to reasonable wages and a reason
able basis of employment" said Sen
ator Nelson. - "All over the United
States we are suffering because of
that situation, r
Scores Railway Employes.
"In the case of -railroad transpor
tation, the railroads are unable to re
duce rates because of the high cost
of operation resulting from excessive
wages which their operatives demand
on the same scale that they were ac
customed to receive during the war,
during the administration of Mr. Mc-
Adoo as director general.
1 was told by the junior sena
tor from New York, Mr. Calder, that
bricklayers in New York City were
asking $14 a day for eight hours
work. We all know that the union
does not allow men to do the maxi
mum amount of work, but they are
only allowed to lay so many bricks
a day.
"There would not be many idle
men in this country today if union
labor would come down to a rea
sonable figure in conformity with
what is occurring in other lines of
business and until we reach a lower
level of prices in connection with un
ion labor, until we get more effec
tive service, it is hopeless to expect
a complete and fair revival of the
industries and prosperity , of this
country."
