Labor Wilson he had an invitation
telegraphed to the governors OF all the
states and the mayors OF about 100
cities to meet with him in conference

discuss vital questions affecting busi-

the American labor delegation now In

of definite national policy that will
stimulate public and private construc-

In line with this plan. Secretary
Redfeld has created an Industrial
board for the purpose of stabillzing
basic commodity prices, and the coun-
ell of national defense will cooperate
with II. "The effort" says an an.

TO wholly eliminate the abnormal. un.

had and the Inflated prices that have
resulted. and to start upon normal
level, after which industry can safely
