TRADES UNIONISM UPHELD
u. S. Chamber OF Commerce Mem
bers Vote on Proposals

Washington. June 23.-Twelve prin
c;ples of industrial relations have been
indorsed by American employees as
represented in the membership of the
United States Chamber of Commerce.
4 canvass of referendum vote an
rounced today showed the proposal
for national employment system to
have been the only article of IL which
failed to receive the two-thirds ma
icrity.
Underlying the cardinal principle
that "the public interest requires adj
iustment of industrial relations by
peaceful methods" were those deciar-
ing "the right of workers to organize"
chat industrial harmony and pros
perity will be most effectually pro-
NOTED by adequate representation OF
the parties interested" and "that in
dustrial relations agreements should
be faithfully observed"
Other declarations approved were
That wages should be "reduced Only
when the possibility of reduction of
costs in all other directions has been
exhausted; that every man IS en-
titled to an opportunity to earn liv-
inc wage and that "wages should be
adjusted with due regard to their
purchasing power"
Fixing of a basic day as "device
for increasing compensation" was
held to be "subterfuge that should
be condemned"

Virginia Bankers Endorse His Rail

road Program
Norfolk, Va. June 23.-Financial
circles in the South point with deep
significance to the alton of the Vir-
ginia Bankers Association, at the
annual conventio nthat closed at OLD
Point Comfort Saturday, in unani-
mcusly indorsing the principles of
the Warfeld plan of the NATIONAL
Association of Owners of Railroad
Securities for the return of the rail
reads to private management as in
dictative of the sentiment in invest
ment circles throughout the country
concerning the future of the trans
portation companies.
The Endorsement of the proposals
made to Congress by the Baltimre'
fnancier who heads the largest O.
ganization Of investors in the rail-
roads is regarded as complete re-
lection of the plea made by Inter
state Commerce Commissioner
Wooley, who in an address delivered
before the Virginia bankers, urged
an extension of the period of Gov
eminent control Of the railroads for
a period of five years. Commission
err Wooley recommended extending
the tenure of Government control OF
the railroads in order to eliminate
this question from the reconstruc-
ton program.
The action of the Virginia bankers
in indorsing the Warfeld plan is in
line with that taken by various
other State bankers associations,
including Florida, Georgia, Tenne-
see, Pennsylvania, Maryland, South
Carolina, Missouri, Michigan and
New York.

.BREAK-UPOF THE STRIKE
SOCIALISTS COULD NOT GAIN
CONTROL IN FRANCE
Membership of Organized Labor
Has Grown In That
Country

Paris, July 30.-[Correspondence OF
The Associated Press. 1.-The recent
collapse of the movement for gen.
eral strike is explained in some quar-
tiers by the saying that, while the
extremists were getting control of the
socialist party, they were losing their
hold on the labor unions, which 3OO,-
900 strong before the war, now have
a membership Of more than 100000.
The 100000 were well in hand, it is
said but the 100000 have brought
with them a certain independence of
thought and action. The conse-
quence is that the vast majority of
Inion men are mot ready to accept
such radical measures as a general
political strike.
The national committee of the La
Dor Federation has issued a sort of
platform declaring that production
should be stimulated and increased
~ all possible means, and demand
ing customs barriers be broken down
that inflated paper circulation DE
suppressed, that national economic
;ouncil be organized together with
national organization to control the
provisioning Of the country.

Prominent Labor Leader Of Eng
land Discusses Situation
In States

London, August 12.-[Correspond-
ence OF The Associated Press. 1.-THE
strike was characterized as "a two
edged weapon which should be used
only as a last resort in enforcing
workers demands by James Henry
Thomas, a member of Parliament
for Derby and general secretary of
the National Union Of Railwaymen,
in his first public address after re-
turning from visit to the United
States where he studied the labor
situation.
America had strengthened her eco
nomic situation during the war and
controlled or produced everything
that the rest of the world required,
Mr.. Thomas declared. Unless Eng
land at once repaired the losses of
the past four years. he said, disaster
would stare the country in the face.
Government is Responsible.
The speaker said he believed that
the government itself did much To
ropularize the strike IS refusing at
the Cancellation table today what they
would concede tomorrow merely on
the threat of a strike
1.-The first essential is that conf
dence Immediately be restored to
the working classes" Mr.. Thomas
stated Employers must realize
that the men and women who were
responsible for saving the country
expected fair and square dealing
while workers, on their part, must
not be carried away by the mistaken
notion that wealth consisted in mere
paper money-but must remember
that the nation had to regain not on
ly self confidence, but the confidence
of the world"
