Secretary of Labor Wilson Calls
ON Congress To Aid.
Says Laws To Provide Work
for Unemployed Needed.
ELIMINATE ABNORMAL PROFITS
Business Interests Afraid To
Take Amy Action Now.
Fear To Act Alone or COllec-
lively ON Proposition.

Washington, Jan. 30.-Congress
must iegislate at once to provide work
for the unemployed if the spread of
Bolshevism in the United States is to
be stopped, Secretary of Labor Wilson
declared today.
abnormal profits must be eliminat-
ed dbefore we can get back to normal" J"
sad Wilson. But those making
them are afraid to reduce prices. In
diyidually they are afraid that reduc-
ton of prices will cause the bottom
to drop out of business. Collectively,
fear of running foul of the antitrust
law"
The department of commerce. Will
son said. is now trying to remove the
business nervousness, which, he said.
is causing business men to hold off
from a. return to normal peace activi-
ties until prices of material and labor
get to the lowest working basis"
Only Temporary Hold OFF.
This holding off, Wilson asserted
will be only temporary and when it
ends, the unemployment problem also
will end.
'Unemployment today is not alarm
ing so far as the number of men out
of work is concerned" said Wilson.
But is a condition showing the need
of some buffer employment to tide us
over. 1t is the tendency which is
alarming.
The far afflicting business men,
Wilson said, is that cost of material Is
will decrease but that labor costs
won't. This, he believes. will be de-
scribed by business as meaning that
prices of finished products may &C
down to g point where the mainte-
nance of present wages means a loss
Il do not believe wage rates will be
much reduced for some time to come
Wilson said. THE cost of living has
gone up and the wage increases, or
the average. have just about KEEP
pace In some industries the wage
raise has not kept pace"
! Immediate resumption by the fed
era1, state and city governments o.
public works, such as are usual il
peace times, was urged by Wilson a.

He cautioned, however against do
