Time Regarding Idle

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. IL
There will be no general Investigation
i OF the unemployed problem at this
time by the American Federation OF
Labor. Leaders of the organization,
whose annual convention is now In
session here, SO declared today. While
number OF delegates have sugg ested
such an Investigation and resolutions
providing for one have been prepared,
those In control of the federation say
such a scheme will be impossible DUR
ing the time the convention has at its
disposal Only the surface could be
touched and to appoint committee to
report at next years convention
would be of no use. as conditions are
certain to change before then, ac-
cording to these leaders.
It is possible however that some Of
the local organizations affiliated with
the organization may suggest holding
an inquest later. to deal with the
problem If it becomes acute. In the
east and for the most part, all through
sections west OF the Rocky mountains,
money is tight and little Is available
for general building. This however is
the usual outlook at this season Of the
year, officers of the several organiza-
lions report.
Dock workers, maintenance of way
employees and others of the so-called
non-skilled organizations, say that
large part Of their men are out of
work The practical paralysis OF
shipping in the east which lasted for
two months, interferred with the
dock workers but their representatives
now report slow but steady improve
ment.
The executive council OF the fedora
ton has been carefully Investigating
reports that in certain lines OF employ
ment, the employers were planning a
general sweeping reduction OF wages
and to attribute that action to depres-
sion caused by the war. 1t is known
that such action is planned in the
steel industry, especially in the Pitts
burgh district. Confidential reports
at hand indicate however that is SO
far the only line of industry where
such a plan has been decided on and
the steel trade is chiefly unorganized.
Most of the trades affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor are
operating under term contracts which
specifically set out hours and COM
pensation
There will be no violation OF these
and there is no reason according to
members of. the executive council, to
apprehend that they will not be re-
newed when they expire. 1t Is ex-
pected that before the convention adj
journs, resolution will be introduced
