urged the men to refrain from po-
litical strikeA as the first move to-
ward increased production.
Political strikes must either fail or
end in revolution" he said: They are
not against the capitalist but against
the community. It is not the capitalist
that suffers but the people. The ef-
feet Of such strikes II to decrease
production and increase h price OF
commodities"
M. Thunderstorm. q Sheffield leader
said: THE surest way of increasing
production il to give payment by re-
suits. Wherever possible it is carried
out in ours, the steel trade. In my
opinion It is time we called a halt In
regard to increases in wages because
it only means a further increase In
the cost Of living.
THE sooner we can make the
workers realize that it is more to their
Interest to decrease the cost Of living
than to increase wages, the better 1t
will b for all concerned"
]. T.. Brownie, chairman OF the ex.
ecutive council Of the Amalgamated
Society Of Engineers, was n first
trade unionist to advance the idea
that workmen must increase produc.
ton. Other leaders quickly endorsed
his view, in the hope the scores OF
unauthorized strikes, fostered by q
craze for shorter hours and higher
wages, would cease and everybody
would 90 back to work.

LABOR LEADERS
!. PLAN INCREASED
PRODUCTIONS
Complaints have Been Made
For Months Of Shortage
in Great Britain.

London, Sept. 10.-(Correspond-
Of the Associated Press)-Brit-
ish labor leaders have begun a gener-
al movement to increase production
by Industrial workers. Complaints
have been made for several months
Of q decline in the amount of material
This has been attributed to
refusal of the workers in many in
dustries to work full time.
John Hodge, a member Of parlia-
mont and labor leader, expressed the
belief that the adoption of the piece
work system as already applied to the
iron and steel industries, would solve
the problem. To this, he declared,
many workmen were opposed.

Spokane, Wash, Oct. 6.-More than
$S,000,o00 vas spent by motor tour
lists in cities and towns along the ma
tional parks highways this year, the
greatest touring year in the history
Of the country, according to Fred A..
Adams, field secretary Of the National
Parks Highway association.
Tourists from every state, in the
union, with travel almost equally di-
vided between cas- and west bound
cars, have toured the 5000 miles Of
highway from Chicago to the Pacific
coast and from Puget Sound to Lake
Michigan he said.
Mr.. Adams bases the value Of
motor travel on an estimate of 10000
cars; that. occupants of each car
spent at least SIS a day while on the
road, and that each Of the 10000
carr was on the highway a minimum
Of 20 days.
II consider the estimate a very
conservative one" he said. This
traffic was interstate and does not
take into consideration the greatly in
creased volume of interstate travel"
Although every city and town along
the highway vas benefited greatly,
these towns, Mr.. Adams declared,
which have established free camps
for tourists and provided accommo-
dations for their comfort have reaped
the greatest financial harvest.
