A. T. of L. Chiefs Realize
Need for Production

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s (By The
Associated Press) Economic needs of
the country largely occupied the at
t'ation to-day o1 the executive council
of the American Federation of Labor,
which continued it's discussion of
future policy. The labor leaders we're
said to have recognized the part which
the workers must play, but the prog
ress they made, if any, toward formu-
lation of a policy was not disclosed
Labor is fully conscious that the
world needs production, members of
the council said after the long secret
meeting to-day. Labor leaders were
declared to realize also that standards
of life can improve only as production
and consumption increase
The attitude of those guiding labor
organizations is said to be that this
end cannot be reached without better
methods in industry where, members
OF the council asserted, there still re-
mains inefficiency in plant management
as we'll as unprincipled scheming by
certain groups of tinanciers. It is
against the alleged unfairness of the
employers in these respects that labor
is aiming its efforts for better CO.
operation, according to Federation Off
cials.

Through this organization, led by

ceiver of the system. 1t is hoped that
this plan will make less possible the

cheney Of the B. r. T. system.
The candidates will be selected at q
primary to be held November 20 and
the election will be held December 13.
thereafter elections will be held on the
second Friday of December each year.

aggregate earnings are a combination
OF lntrastate and interstate revenues.
The record shows that the refusal of
the State of New York to permit the
carriers to increase the rates and
fares here in controversy to the extent
approved by US is costing the railroads
between $11 900 900 and S12,O00,O00 an
nually. In other words, the annual
earnings Of the Interstate carriers op-
Grating in New York are now between
81 100000 and $4,000 less than
they would be if the general level of
rates and fares approved by us had be-
come effective on intrastate traffic,
and to that extent the declared pur-
pose Of Congress is defeated by a
prefere ntial basis of rates and fares
maintained by authority of the State Of
New York.
ut has not happened heretofore that
we have had occasion to make such an
extensive exercise of our authority as
is now contemplated, and we could not
be moved to do SO save by the most

been supplied by the situation in
which the transportation interests Of

taken by Congress to relieve that stu

Cul1lr1lins Will
Push Anti-Rail
Strike Measure
Continued from papo ene)

At any rate, his vote was considerable,
even IN the large railroad centers.
Meanwhile, as has been pointed out,
some of the members of the House who
did Just as the labor leaders wished
notably Representative Emerson, of
Ohio, and Representative Sims, of
Tennessee-were defeated by their own
parties in the primaries, their advocacy
of the Plumb plan being blamed large
ly in each instance for their defeat.
The fact that Mr. Cummins now feels
that the country has expressed it's
opinion in favor Of the anti-strike
clause by reelecting men who sup
ported it everywhere, and by the in
ability of labor leaders to defeat it's
advocates or save its opponents, is the
first indication that the demands of
labor leaders will be ignored in the
next Congress.
For instance, the record compiled
against Senator Harding by President
Gompers and other organized labor
leaders dwelt at some length-making
four counts of the ten alleged to be
unfavorable to labor---on his votes in
favor of permitting the army and navy
to use the SO called Taylor stop watch
efficiency system in plants manufac-
turing ordnance and ammunition.
In view of the futility of this attack
on Senator Harding, and OH such Sem
ators as Wadsworth, Brandegee, Wat
son, and others, who had voted to per-
nit the use of this efficiency system, it
is thought entirely possible that Con-
