COL. JONES TOQU|T
ASLEC|ON OFFICER
D. C. Commander to Resign
Wednesday Night at
State Convention.

Col e. Lester Jones, who was com :
mander of the first American Legion
post organized, and the only one who
has ever held the office Of commander
of the District of Columbia Depart
ment of the legion. is to resign the
commandership next Wednesday night
at the state convention of the order. It
was learned today. and his successor
probably will be elected Immediately
AT the same time it is expected that
Lieut.. Howard Fisk, who has been
serving with Col Jones, both as post
adjutant and departmental adjutant
Will resign. This Office. however. is
not elective, the adjutant being ap-
pointed by the commander.
Will Continue Legion Work.
Col. Jones. who probably has done
more than any other man to build up
the American Legion, both locally
and nationally. said today that he had
no intention Of curtailing his work
for the legion, and would continue to
serve. both as q member of the dis
trict xecutive committee and the ma
ttonal executive committee. He added
that his resignation was the result
OF a conviction that this was an
auspicious time for some other man
with. possibly new ideas to take the
position OF departmental commander
a conviction that was not lessened by
the fact that added official duties must
occupy the greater part OF Col James
time.
Members Of the District executive
committee were today warm in their
praise of the administration of Col
Jones as department commander, an
office which he assumed on May 10
1919. exactly one year from the day
on which he will resign.

HEARING ON DAYLIGHT
SAVING IN EAST HELD
House Committee Gives Only
Twelve Hours Notice of Sessions
on Question.

Re-establishment of daylight saw
Ing in the eastern time zone, which
includes the District of Columbia,
was considered today before the
House committee on Interstate and
foreign commerce with only twelve
hours notice of the hearing
RMS time zone includes New Eng
land and the greater part Of the
middle Atlantic states. Restoration of
daylight saving. it was pointed out,
would be Of great benefit to the thou
sands of government employees, as it
would enable them to work gardens
and thereby help reduce the high cost
OF food commodities.
Representative Frederick W. Dali
!inger Of Massachusetts. author Of the
bill, protested against the hearing to-
day and asked that it be postponed
until next Tuesday. He reminded
Chairman Esch of promise that he
would be given several days notice
80 that the advocates of daylight
saving throughout the east might be
present. The chairman replied that
the committee. a majority of which is
understood to be hostile to the pro-
posal, did not desire to listen to
lengthy arguments and that if the
hearing were not held today it could
not be held at this session of Con-
gress.

Committee TODAY

to reach q fair basis OF settlement.
The occasional misuse Of the system
has led to the opposition of organized
labor.
III profit sharing is to be based on
the conception that wages are to
addition to pay. then it would be in
proper form. but when used as a
weapon to hold down a mans pay the
intangible agitation in industrial life
concerns the question Of a division Of
surplus, and not the question that en-
ployes want to manage the business"
Declaring that self-interest predomi-
mates almost every line. Mr.. Hoover
said it had come down to the question
as to how far altruism was replacing
self-interest.
Senator Jones, democrat. New Mexi-
co, wanted to know II labor had not
been disturbed by excessive profits.
1T has," he replied. but 1t is diff
cult to say how far this has helped to
cause industrial unrest. now with the
rising cost Of living. There is no
question as to the enormous increase
given this requires very careful atten-
ton. There has been q big increase
in profit over the cost OF labor, but l
cannot say as to proportion.
Almost every angle Of the industrial
situation was touched on in a general
tee, with no attempt to confine the in
quiry along any special line.
MIR. Hoover heartily approved the
plan of the second Industrial con-
ference for voluntary settlemaht Of
labor troubles through cooperative
agreement.
1T avoids the pitfalls" he said.
ITO my mind it is the best and only
step to be taken until the whole
broad question between employer and
employee has developed"
Chairman Kenyon said that as the
President had not communicated his
views on the industrial conference re-
port to Congress there was no way
iof knowing how he felt. He asked
Mr. Hoover IL he knew what the
President thought.
II have not the remotest idea" he
replied.
Distinction Between Strikes.
On the question of strikes Mr..
Hoover said a distinction should be
drawn between conditions in this
country and Europe. declaring that
strikes for political ends had been
resorted TO In Europe. which had
caused unnecessary alarm in this
country.
There has been no faint of such strike
order in this country" he declared.
NO attempt has been made by leaders
of organized labor In the United
States to override the ballot. and
labor leaders have discouraged that
hension as to whether the strike may
develop into a political weapon But
certainly that has not been the case
| in the United States"
At the conclusion Of the hearing
Senator Phipps thanked Mr.. Hoover.
declaring the expression Of his views
had been most instructive and en-
tightening"
