ing night and day to move the earth
as il reaches the railroad tracks and
approximately 5000 tons are sent out
on trains every "A hours.
The slide began when the city at
tempted to straighten a curve in the

LABOR DEMANDS
THE OPEN DOOR
To Enemy Nations to Join
the League of
Nations
DECLARED BRITISH
LABOR DELEGATE
Chided League for Failure
to Prevent Polish-Bolshe-
vik Outbreaks

Geneva, Nov. 10 (By the Associated
Press "A reply from President Will
son to greetings from the assembly Of
the league of nations was read by
President Hymas at to-day's session
of the assembly. George Nicoll Barnes
British delegate, then discussed the
report of the council of the league
lie dwelt especially on the. neces
sity of lending assistance to the Ar
menians
"rhey are" he declared, "hemmed in
bv She brutal bolsheviki on one side
and By inhuman beings on the other "
The labor chapter would become the
most important part Of the treaty Of
Versailles, he predicted
There can be no permanent peace
in the world he added, until there
is industrial peace; and there can be
no industrial peace until labo1 gets a
better share of the product of its ef-
forts
Mr.. Barnes referred to the action Of
the league in the Polish-Lithuanian
dispute and on the question OF the
AIand islands between Finland and
Sweden He said the council must have
support, but he wanted to know why
the council had not taken action, as
provided for in article NJ Of the league
covenant. TO prevent the war which had
been going on for year between Po-
land and soviet Russia.
He held that it was quite possible
for the league to do something to pre-
vent fresh outbreak of hostilities be-
tween Poland and soviet Russia, which
he declared was unmistakably threat
ening in spite of the patched np
peace"
Regarding the admission Of former
enemy states, he said he was here TO
represent the labor element of Great
Britain and hc knew the vast majority
of the laboring people demanded that
all the enemy states be admitted with

u. S. Stee' corporation
Makes A 8 Guncement
q : ,licy
UNTIL q .CESSARY
TO 3 Get CHANGES
Recommendation Made to
All Subsidiary Com
panies

New York. Nov. le.-The United
States Steel corporation announced to-
day its decision 10 recommend to presi-
dents of subsidiary companies that the
present base selling prices of all com
modities continue in force unless and
until it becomes necessary and proper
to make changes to meet altered con-
ditions."
This action was taken, according to
a statement issued by Chairman Gary,
because of the Importance of stabil-
izing business conditions at this time.
The statement follows:
Our subsidiary companies have CON
sistently and uninterruptedly main
tanned the base selling priceo of all
iron and steel commodities which were
mutually fixed by representatives Of
iron and steel interests of the United
States and representatives of the gov.
ernment on March 2l, 1919.
"Since that time production costs of
all manufacturers of iron and steel, in
Guiding an advancement of wage rates
aggregating S5l 100000 per year to the
steel corporation, and larger freight
rates have materially increased. Under
usual circumstances we would be JUS
titled in making additions to the aver
age base prices.
However, after deliberate and care
full consideration, we have decided to
recommend to presidents of our sub
sidiary companies that present base
selling prices Of all commodities con
tinue in force unless and until it be-
comes necessary and proper to make
changes TO meet altered conditions.
I'VE think stability in business IS
of highest Importance and that every
man to the extent of his opportunity
and ability and even at some sacrifice,
is obligated to assist in stabilizing and
maintaining prices on fair and sane
level. The producer. consumer and
workman will be benefited by this at
titiide"
