Hoover Offers
Plan to Speed
UpProduction
Would Prevent Waste by
Some Method of Federal
Interest, Better Labor Ex-
changes and Bargaining
For Independent Tribunal
Suggests Three Levels of
Wages and Advocates Ex-
tension of Shop System

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. - Three
sources of waste in production and
means of combating each were outlined
by Herbert Hoover tonight in an ad-
dress before the Federated American
Engineering Societies, speaking as
president-elect of the organization.
Intermittent employment, unemploy-
nent that arises in shifting industrial
currents, and strikes and lockouts were
the causes he mentioned.
Intermittent employment, the former
Food Administrator said, might be elm
mated at least in part by coordination
of economic groups, the various indus
tries working together to aid each
other Using the bituminous coal in
oustry as an example, he said, the bad
economic functionins could be rem
edied through a concerted effort of the
coal operators, the coal miners, the
railways and the great consumers to
prevent, alternate demand and short
age.
Some Governmental Interest Needed
Present necessary legislation against
combinations, he added. makes CO.
ordination impossible, out he sug-
gested that there be developed "some
method of governmental interest, not
in governmental ownership, but in
stimulation TO cooperation in better
organization"
Loss Of production incident to shift
ing of workers because of seasonal and
short period operations in industry
Mr.. Hoover told the engineers, could
be lessened by the expansion and bet
ter organization of local and Federal
labor exchanges Unless such ma
chinery is provided, the individual
worker, he said, "is helpless to find
the contacts necessary to make this
shift"
Relief in Collective Bargaining
Strikes and lockouts would be ma
terially lessened by the universal ac-
ceptance and use of collective bargain
ing, Mr.. Hoover declared, adding that
ne was confident that this principle
could be worked out along the lines
laid down by the Presidents second
industrial conference, of which he was
a member. That principle, he SAID, pro
posed that each party to an industrial
controversy should have the right to
summon skill and experience to its
assistance and that in event one ol
the parties refused to enter into nego-
tiations, the entire question should be
referred to an Independent tribunal for
investigation as to the right or wrong
of the dispute.
In asking the engineers of the coun-
trv as portion of the body polltlc,
standing, he said, somewhat apart
among the great economic groups, to
ala in solving the nations economic
problems, Mr.. Hoover issued warn
ing, saying:
Unemployment Inevitable
"We have just passed through Pc
riod Of unparalleled speculation, extrav-
agance and waste. We shall now not
only reap it's inevitable harvest of un-
employment and readjustment but We
shall feel the real effect OF four years
o. world destruction, and from 1t eco,
ncmic and social proble ms Will stanc
out in vivid disputation."
New-York tribune., 1920-11-20

inetficiency and creating an atmosphere
which would foster greater production.
The council was said to have made
plain in it's discussions it's realization
of world needs in this respect, and
members of the council held that
labor's conduct should be such that no
blame for low outp.t could attach to
the workers.
To Clear Selves of Suspicion
1t was said that council members
had planned series of conferences
with industrial experts looking to grad
ual establishment of cooperation
which many deem invaluable.
The plea was maze in council ses-
sions in this city on more than One oc-
casion, it was said, that labor leaders
employ every effort to clear their atti-
tnde of suspicion which some leaders
declared had attached to labor's posi-
ton when seeking reforms. The belief
that this might hand cap labor in seek
ing the advice of industrial experts as
the labor program is developed was
said to have bren expressed.
Unqualified support is said to have
been given the stand against radical
ism, within and without organ zed
labor, as voiced by President Gompers
anu YlCc-I IcSlucHL w OAlJ WuOoC Wv
nouncement of the borers from within
has been spread broadcast among the
workers. The statement of the Fed
Grafton president as regards radical
foreign labor and the suppression OF
tlestructionists also was accorded the
councils entire approval.
Will Bar Radical Workers
Consideration was given to method
by which the radical workers could be
barred from organized labor, but this
apparently was set down as an in
soluble problem so long as the Fedora
tion's bylaws remain the same. The
leaders, however, 20 said to be deter
mined in their stand to keep radical
groups from gaining executive control
even if the governing body has no al
tentative but to let them carry unior
cards.
Some leaders hinted that the Fed
Grafton expected to devote great dea
of time to fighting legislation which il
opposes, and may not, therefore, con
duct campaigM 70 Yut through bills il

Baker Approres Board
To Settle Ship Claims
Says Nc Doesn't Want to Argue
With NJ. I. Cilten, but Tries
TO Defend General Hines

From The Tribunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Nov. ia special
committee composed of two War De-
partment officials, two Shipping Board
officials and a fifth member to be
named BIZ the Comptroller of the
Treasury, has been agreed upon by
Secretary Baker and Admiral Benson,
chairman of the Shipping Board, to
arbitrate the financial differences be-
tween the two departments, Secretary
Baker said to-day, in discussing the
charges made before the Congressional
committee investigating the Shipping
Board muddle by Martin j. Gillen.
IL do not want to get into any con-
troversy with Mr.. Gillen," Secretary
Baker said, "but his statement that
General Hines has been blocking the
payment of Shipping Board claims is
not justified.
"The War Department has been anx-
ious to wipe out the debt, which ag-
gregates a sum which the board says
is $17S000,000, but we have been un-
able thus far to reach an agreement

yesterday by Lewis T. Bryant, State
Commissioner of Labor The survey is
based on reports made by employment
directors in the cities where the Fed
eral and state employment bureaus are
conducted
while the picture presented in this
report is dark one, it must be taken
for what it is WORTH" said Russell J.
Eldridge, acting state director of en-
ployment, in comm entlng or the report.
1--WE do not say this report shows the
exact conditions throughout the state,
for we have not made thorough can
vass, but have judged conditions in
each city a s we found them in our
employment bureaus"
The report for Newark showed the
condition in various industries as fol-

ell of the American Federation of La
Dor concluded its work in this city to-
night without making any formal an
nouncement as to what had been ac-
complished during it's two weeks of dis

Although members of the council. in
cluding President Gompers of the Fed
Grafton, were disin~ lined to talk of pro-
ceedings in the executive sessions, it is
known that certain programs were dis
oussed which by common consent would
pract cally become policies of the or
ganzation. These include what was
described as a healthy stand against
radicalism within organized labor and
for sharp restriction of immigration.
There was also an almost unanimous
agreement among the labor and indus
trial engineers. In this labor leaders
believed they were accomplishing the
dual purpose of eliminating waste and
