mutual consent
Any British company developing oil
wells in Mesopotamia is to place %

and native interests are to be allowed
to purchase 20 per cent of such stock.

.G0MPERS WARNS
OF REDUCED WAGES
Discharging Men and Cutting
Pay Mean Panic,
He Says.

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, today
issued a statement declaring that the
laying off of men and the reduction of
wages would produce a panic in the
United States. declaring that such was
the course which would have resulted
in 1907 and 1908 but for the warning
sounded by the American Federation
of Labor.
He cited the American Wooden Mills,
in Massachusetts, and the Pennsyl-
vania railroad as examples.
He declared THE American Wooden
Mills, in Massachusetts, close their
doors. In addition to this case
is the action of the Pennsylvania rail-
road in laying off approximately 10000
men, if reports are accurate. VIII
this help move freight; will it help
give the nation that increased produce
ton of which it stands in real need?
Questions Motive of Move.
"Or is the laying off of workers a
revival of that old and crude policy
campaign for the .purpose of driving
them in fright and necessity into
political camp?
1T will be recalled that in 1907 and
1908 employers sought to reduce wages.
the result of which at that time would
nave DeeH 10 produce panic. Inc
American Federation of Labor sent
forth the warning that he would resist,
and resist, and resist, and we para
phrased a saying and declared it bet
ter to resist and lose than not to resist
at all.
Policy Once Abandoned.
The policy of reducing wages was
abandoned as the result of that warm
ing. We repeat that warning today.
AT all hazards we will resist wage re-
auctions. There is no excuse and
much less a reason for reduction in
wages. We will tolerate no reduction
of wages.
THE nation needs production. En-
ployers have called for production. too
frequently as 4 means of driving the
workers to unpaid efforts, and in or
forts and their honesty and integrity
There is no trouble with the efficiency
of the workers. There is a growing
efficiency of workers. There is too
infrequently an equal efficiency and
integrity and intelligence in the man
agement of industry. The action of
corporations that today lay off thou
sands of men is nothing less than a
tremendous indictment of manage
ment and heinouS offense against a
people in need of every possible ounce
OF production.
Continued Operation Need.
what is needed above everything
else today is continuous operation of
industry, with a fairness and honesty
end intelligence upon the part of en-
ployers that will make continuous
operation possible. Two employment
policies will hinder production. These
are either reduction of working forces
or brutal efforts to drive the workers
without consultation and without
a with tba 1Uorl.arc
The mills and the factories should
run. Management should consult with
workers through the chosen repre-
sentatives of the workers. The CO.
operation to be achieved by such a
policy will give the nation the pro-
duction that it needs and that is need
ed by the whole world. Arrogance.
bigotry and autocratic conduct of en-
ployers is a waste that society can i'll
afford"

HIGH PRICE PLANE
LOSING ITS pep"
Downward Flight Begins
With Shoes and Clothes.
Others to Follow.

Shoe manufacturers are quoting
prices on fall footwear averaging a
reduction of 81 per pair, the Depart
ment of Justice has learned. Howard
Figg, special assistant to the Attorney
General. said today the department
would see that a corresponding re-
duction is made by retailers who buy
their stock at this lower price. While
the average reduction for mems foot
wear is 81. the price of women S
shoes may not be so low, it was stated
The average price for a mans suit
of clothes This fall should range be-
tween $40 and $50, depending. of
course. upon the quality, Mr.. Figg
said. Manufacturers, while not quot
ing reduced prices for their fall stock,
are being forced to sell them to the
w wholesale and retail merchants at re-
duced prices. This is explained by the
determination on the part of the pub
lie not 10 pay exorbitant prices for
wearing apparel and the correspond
ing effect upon the retailer.
The Department of Justices cam
paign to lower the cost of living is
be ginning to show real results. it is
declared. although the general re-
auctions are not altogether due to
the departments efforts. Cheaper
prices for raw material which goes
into the manufacture of wearing ap
parel. especially leather ana wool:
increased efficiency of labor and the
general attitude on the part of the
public to pay less are contributing
causes to the fall in prices which is
anticipa ted.
The sale of meat by the War Depart
ment, which will amount to many mil
lions of dollars. will bring down the cost
of canned meat, Mr.. Figg believes. This
move by the War Department has the
heartiest cooperation of the Depart
ment of Justice, Mr.. Figg said. The
department is on the lookout for retail
dealers who make an excessive profit
from the sale of meat.
