HARRISBURG, Pa, Nov. 1--WE
may expect continued discomfort and
disorder" until Tie Government meets
the problem Of the high cost Of Nv
ing, Attorney General "A MitchsIl
Palmer declared here this afternoon
in an address to q meeting Of State
officials, called to discuss the cam
paign against the cost Of living.
The Attorney General, who is
leading the Governments fight
against the coal strike, continually
drove home the thought that there
must be larger production in this
country to meet industrial unrest
Idleness Called q Sin.
'T venture the assertion that II
men would work 10 per cent more in
America prices would be 20 per cent
lower" the Attornew General de-
clared. 'Tdleness is q ain in this
emergency, and we ought, as men IN
responsible places, as public serv-
ants, to do all we can not alone to
discourage, but to prevent idleness
to smooth out the difficulty. and SO
keep production going at top speed.
You will not hurt any man by in
creasing the supply; the wage Garner
will not be injured, because the arti-
Gle which he produces will be more
general and, therefore. less in price
too.
IF we could make labor understand
it, IL we could make money under
stand II. make everybody understand
it on both sides OF the economic
fence that idleness is a sin, IL not q
crime, and get money and labor bot b

Outlines Plan Of Campaign
The Attorney General outlined the
Governments plan of campaign
against profiteering, boarding, and
promised that the most strict methods
will be used to keep prices at a fail
level ..
upon the outcome OF this cam.
paign depends not your profits, no,
your wealth. but the peace and hap

General said in closing, because, up.
less we convince the people that we
are equal to this task Of making life
better and happier for them, we can
