HERBERT HOOVER IN
CONDITION OF INDUSTRY
Employees Not Responsible For De-
pfessIon and Labor Must Do It's
Share TO Produce Recovery.

N Washington, Nov. 16 (By the Asso
elhted PresB) Herbert Hoover, for
tHef federal food administrator was
called into conference today by the
executive council of the American
Federation OF Labor as II continued
d face to face discussion OF economic
and ihdustrial conditions, presumably
for the purpose of framing a policy
70 be followed by the federation in
legislation which IL will urge on
Congress-.
Mt, Hoover was invited to tho
t1ettinB, II was explained, because OF
hH vide knowledge of economic and
inanstrial conditions In America. 1t
gAs indicated also that the council
desired and had obtained from him
data which eminent engineers have
gathered on questions pertaining to
or Affecting labor
Members who In the council cham
bef behind closed doors were disin.
clined to talk of the discussions.
There was evidence, however, that
Mt. Hoover's views did not place all
blame for conditions now confronting
labor on employers.
Much data has been gathered by
the federation with respect to eco
riondio conditions throughout the
country. 1t is known also that dur
ing today's conference some mem.
bers OF the council while holding em-
ployers largely responsible for pres.
etlt conditions, admitted that indi.
vidaals and even groups of workers
had not played fair" in SOME cases.
MI. Hoover was understood to have
told the conference that labor must
do its share in the elimination of in
dustrlal faults and ills which make
for unemployment.
II developed today that a number of
important conferences between labor
officials and engineers and econom.
lists we're held in various parts of the
country during the fall The fedora,
tion has been assembling information
thus obtained for the study now in
progress,
President Gompers is understood to
have said to HIS associates that great
er consideration and better under
standig must be accorded the "human
element" In production, If output is to
be Increased and waste eliminated.
The council probably will continue
ite discussions for several days more
although 1t was not believed any
other persons would be asked to meet
With 1t.
