manufacturers represents 80 per

ference at Grand Rapids to make
no effort At lowering Of prices.
To do 20 would be to disrupt the
wages OF more than 100000 men
employed In the furniturs-makinG
craft snd thus lead TO serious In
dustriai disturbance.
Resolution Adopted
II was after considering the
wage element and following an ex-
haustive investigation that a joint
conference OF the national manufac-
turers and the national retailers
passed the following resolution:
Whereas. there has recently been
established new and lower levels OF
prices on . number Of commodities:
and whereas. II has generally been
reported that the costs Of manufsC-
turing furniture have been material
~ reduced: and whereas. the retail
merchants. desirous Of ascertaining
facts. have requested the executive
committee Of the Retail Furniture
Association OF the United States to
make Q careful and thorough an
slysis Of the conditions governing
the cost Of manufacturing furniture
today and to insist upon a lower
level Of prices u conditions were
found to warrant them: and where
~. this investigation has been
made In most extensive and
thorough maRner; and whereas, II
has been determined that there can
be no changes affecting the cost Of
furniture generally that would indi-
cate that any material reduction
could take place In the immediate
future without affecting seriously
the wage and steady employment
OF the men employed in the furni-
ture factories; therefore be H.
Resolved BY the furniture manu-
facturers In national council as
sembled. that the details OF the find
ings Of this investigation be con-
veyed to all branches of the in
dustry and to the public generally;
and be It further
Resolved. that the secretary be
instructed to keep the members OF
this council informed OF any
changes In market conditions that
affect the cost of manufacture. and
Furthermore. that we deem II de-
sirable and to the best interest Of
the furniture industry. az well ssl
the American home, that concerted
effort be exercised by the manufsc-l
turer TO reduce manufacturing costs
other than that Of labor. and to re-
hect these reductions In the finished
product AZ soon az possible; and be
Il further -
Resolved. that to our best know
