TRADE
RELIEF, FURTHER
WAGE REDUCTION
Head of U. S. Chamber of
Commerce Optimistic of
Turn for Better.

The next thirty days or six weeks
will orfhg relief from the general
business ami industrial depression.
in the opinion of Joseph H. De
Frees, president of the United
States Chamber of Commerce. de-
e!arcd yesterday in an interview.
In the meantime. he said, the Pc
riod of defiation will pass and fall
ing prices will reach their bottom.
Afterward will come an upturn sno
revival of business generally.
This transition will be follow ed
by a period of adjustment in which
the country will accustom itself to
normal conditions. President De
Frees asserted.
Normal Means "BaIanee."
when We talk about return to
normal conditions we mean a re-
turn to conditions in which things
are balanced and in proper relation
to each other" he stated. The war
not only changed the relations be-
tween money and goods, but
changed value between different
commodities themselves. II may be
that future balances will not be
precisely the same as the old, al
though in the readjustment things
certainly will find natural ball
ances."
Many concerns have been squeezed
out of existence by the economic
pressure. he said. Now labor is
feeling the pinch in a necessary
reduction of wages.
Wage Declines Inevitable.
Expressing the opinion that still
further wage reductions are newt
able. he continued:
wages turns primarily upon
what is a fair and balanced dis
tribution of the fruits Of industry
to which labor, management and
capital all contribute. Before the
war most of us received sufficient
out of the common pot to save some
thing. The war upset conditions.
While some classes are more ad-
vantageously placed than before
the war, many are not. i have in
mind particularly the so-called
'white-collar' worker. the man paid
a salary. He has had an extremely
hard time.
Some industries are taking heavy
losses which will be shared by the
stockholder and worker alike. The
farmer is taking his loss, the manu-
facturer his, and the worker newt
ably will have to accept his share"
BIames Lack of Demand.
Lack of demand. rather than over
production, is primarily responsible
for the business inertia, according
to De Frees.
"It has been called a consumers
strike" he explained. THE buying
public-and this applies to the busi-
ness man as much as to the man
on the street-has taken a conserv-
ative attitude. 1t is human nature.
When prices are going up. people
buy because they want to get in
before prices go higher; when they
are falling they hold off in the
hope that they will go lower. Or
course this very thing accelerates
the movement either up or down, as
the case may be-
Another cause. he said, is that
overflow production Is not going
abroad as formerly. because other
nations, being without money, are
unable to purchase commodities
they sorely need. These markets
must be reopened before the re-
turn to normal can be complete.
He praised the step already taken
in this. direction by the proposed
organization of a 500, ,000, 900 cor
poration under the Edge law to
extend credits abroad.

Almost three times as much liquor

Yes; that is true" said Kramer,
but If it is used Iegitimately the

years"
Kramer testified in support of a
bill by Representative Green, Re-
publican, of Iowa, providing for con-
centration of the liquor in a few
warehouses, instead Of leaving it
scattered all over the country.
Most of the liquor is now stored in
four Kentucky warehouses which
are big enough to hold the entire
100000 gallons.
Don't you think the cheapest way
for the taxpayers would be to open
the warehouses. sell this whisky, let
the topers have one grand drunk ana

Fordney solemnly.
Applause and laughter greeted
this suggestion, but Wayne B
