ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., September
21.-Government price-nxing of all
essential products. not only In sales
to the government, but to the public as
we'll. was recommended in resolutions
adopted to-day at the closing session
of the war convention Of America n
business men. Tho convention advo-
Gated legislative creation Of general
government purchasing department
which, in addition to fixing prices.
would have power to distribute the
output Of industries in manner most
necessary to the conduct Of the war.
The purchasing department proposed
would absorb the present war indus
director OF priority. The present
power of the government to control
priority of shipment would be ex-
tended to include authority to direct
priority of manufacture, sale and dis
tribution. All buying now done by
various bureaus OF the War and Navy
Departments would BIO centered in the
new board.
i
IN MAKING PURCHASES
The convention recommended assist
ing the government in making pur-
chases the formation of a general COM
mittee Of industry. representing all
branches OF business, which would aid
the purchasing department in appor-
tioning orders. This committee would
handle much OF the work now done by
committees of the Council of Defense.
The attitude of business toward
labor was defined in resolutions recon- :
unchanged. and that a labor adjust
ment board be named to handle all
major disputes. The declaration was
made for industry that it indorse a
policy Of no lockouts or strikes while
differences were before the board, and
labor was urged to take a similar
stand.
A general declaration of the policy
business will pursue toward tho gov
eminent and its war needs sets forth
that. "undismayed at the prospect of
great taxes. facing the consumption of
its accumulated savings. American
business, without hesitation, pledges
to the government It's full and un-
qualified support in prosecution of the
war until Prussianism is utterly de-
stroyed. This convention will dedi-
cate the nation every facility it has
developed and every financial resource
at It's command on such terms and
under such conditions as our govern
ment shall determine to be just"
