MET IN SPRINGFIELD.

Resolutions that endorsed United
States Senator Seldom p. Spencer in
his stand against the waste of print
paper by the government in its nu-
merous publicity campaigns were
adopted by a unanimous vote Friday
by the members Of the Ozark Press
Association at a called %mid-winter
meeting at the chamber of CON-
merce.
Discussion of various means Of re-
lieving the print paper shortage re-
suited in the Endorsement of the
bill %innoduced in congress by Sena-
tor Spencer, in which he asks that
the government dispense with Jail
unnecessary pamphlets and periodi-
Gals whose work might just as well
be done through the newspapers OF
the nation. The bill suggests that
newspapers be paid for publicity in
stead of entailing the expenditure
requi"ed in the present method.

New-York tribune., 1920-12-26

addressed to 500 members of the asso-
citation making 80 different types of
garments and clothing in 80 states and
four provinces of Canada and Mexico.
The cause given for the failure to
reduce prices in spite of the planned
reduction in wages is that wages form
negligible part of the cost of manu-
featuring the aforementioned commod-
tiles.
The survey made by the association
showed that Is per cent OF its mem
bers have reduced wages from to 25
per cent, about 40 per cent either pur-
pose to reduce their present wage
scales or are not considering change
at this time, and the rest reported that
they are considering the advisability
Of reducing wages
1t was explained in the associations
statement that wage reductions NAV
have some effect upon the final cost
of heavy garments, such as clothing
and overcoats, in which wages figure
as an important part of production
costs
Some of the manufacturers who are
opposing reduction of wages at the
present time declared that living costs
nave not been materially reduced. that

ductlon would be more instrumental in

against the protest Of their entire Iron

years steel in New York has been

Crisis Expected to Develop After
Spanish House Meets

MADRID, Dec. 25.--Defnite results
of the recent elections will not be
known until tomorrow. but members
OF the Cabinet declare that Premier
Dato will have at least 2O5 supporters
in the lower house. which would give
him bare majority. The House con-

Meanwhile there is much comment
regarding the probable crisis after the
House meets, when Marquis Vicente
de Portage intends to resign as Min
lister Of Public instruction and Pre-
mier Dato is expected to hand the
Ministry Of Marine, which he now
holds, TO another statesman. 1t is said
that he is unable to conduct the tive
ministries on account of the enormous
work involved.
Late yesterday the Premier had a
long consultation with Antonio Maura,
former fremier, which gave rise to a
report that the latter or one OF the
Maurista party was about to enter

Starrett Denies
He Is Supporter
OF Closed Shop
Construction Company Pres
ident Says He Prefers
Union Labor, but Thinks
Line Shouldn't Be Drawn

Paul Starrett, president of the
George A. Fuller Construction Com
pany, issued statement yesterday to
correct what he says is an erroneous
impression resulting from his testi-
mony before the Lockwood committee
on housing that he was a strong sup
porter of the closed shop principle.
While in favor Of unions and ad-
mitting that the union worker is more
efficient than the non-union man, he
believes labor delegates have no right
to prevent a man from earning his liv
ing because he does not join their or
CARNATIONS. He believes that labor
would obtain stronger position if /
came out tor the open-shop principle
Mr.. Staytett's statement is peculiar
iy significant at this time. in view of
the recent call for a conference Of
the big business men Of the country at
Chicago t. consider the question of
united action on the open shop issue.
Mr.. Starrett's statement reads
Il am s~rong believer in the open
shop. 1t is my belief that laws should
be passed making the closed shop IL
ega.
This does not mean that l am in
mical to unions. l believe unions are
a benefit to the men and to the en-
ployer, if properly run. Taking our
own business, it is of great advantage
TO us to be able to make bargains with
presentatives of unions, establishing
wages upon which to base our estimates

The building business in the large
cities, especially where fne work is
necessary, under present conditions
cannot be properly done without the
use of union labor, for the reason that

mechanic is worth. IN productiveness
