IN CONFERENCE
A. F. of L. Discusses Labor Prob
len With Former Food Dictator.
Hoover Puts Some Blame on Workers
for Conditions Now Facing
Labor and Employees.

Neutrality-suspicious. was evidence
that Herbert Hoover, who was called
into conference here by the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor, did not place all blame for con-
ditions now confronting labor on EN-.
ployers.
Much data has been gathered by
the Federation with respect to eco
nomic conditions throughout the coun.
try. 1t Is known that during the con.
ference some members OF the council,
while holding employers largely re.
sponslble for present condition. ad.
mitted that individual and even
groups of workers had not played
fair" In some instances.
Mr.. Hoover was understood to have
told the conference that labor must
do It's share in the elimination Of in.
dustrial faults and Ills which make for
unemployment.
Council Members Interested.
Council members said they had been
deeply interested in Mr.. Hoover's dis
cussion OF existing conditions because
of its bearing on the %federation's
search for methods which will avoid
intermittent operation of industry and
consequent unemployment. Ii is I'm.
derstood Mr.. Hoover was told that la.
Dor leaders regarded the action OF
some employers in closing plants o
operating On part time as 'little short
OF a social crime"
With this view. however. the former
food administrator was said not to
have agreed. He pointed to credit con
ditions. the ~slackening of foreign al
well as domestic demand and certain
other related causes. 1t was under
stood.
AS to the future outlook. Mr.. Hoover
made no forecast. He did say. how
ever. that he believed the existing eco
nomic depression was one of a tenn
porary nature and 1t constituted a part
OF the period OF transition from wal
to peace conditions.

Alleged Pact Between U. S. Great
Britain and France, Printed in
Mexico, Termed False.
HELD TEyTON PRODUCT
Jap Clause Termed With Being as
Foolish Az II Was F~aIse-3tate
Department Denies Any
Such Agreement.

Observation-Disclosures In Mexico
City of what ~purported to be the text
of a treaty between the United States,
Great Britain and France, signed In
1917, and dealing with certain rights
claimed by those countries in Mexico,
brought prompt official denial from
the State department OF the existence
OF any such pact.
Officials at the department were in
clined TO believe the published text
was that OF a false treaty prepared
. during the war by Germany for propa-
ganda purposes in Mexico. There had
heen, they said, previous indications
Of the circulation of this false docu-
ment.
"As Foolish as False"
The statement that one clause OF
the alleged treaty provided for Ger
tain measures to meet possible Jap
: anese hostility was noted particular
ly, and characterized at the depart
ment as being as foolish as 1t was
false.
On the other main subject dealt
with in the spurious pact, continue
tIon of the flow of oil from Mexican
wells owned by nationals of the three
powers. 1t was regarded as conceivable
that some sort Of informal understand
ing might have been reached by the
three governments, necessitated by the
~exigencies OF war. II was said Of
ficiaily. however, that nothing of the
kind had been reduced to writing.
II was recalled In this connection
that Mexican fuel oil was essential
TO British naval operations during the
war.
Earlier Report Denied.
The suggestion that a written agree
ment existed was made last month in
the Mexico City press. a statement to
that effect being attributed to TIiiario
Medina, acting minister of foreign af-
fairs in the C~arranza cabinet. It was
promptly denied by Cuthberto Hidalgo,
holding a similar post under the pre-
'ent provisional government in Mexico,
and who declared Medina had brought
about publication OF a statement he
knew to be false for the purpose OF
embarrassing friendly relations be-
tween the provisional government and
the United States.

Former Food Dictator Gives Out
Plan to Combat Sources
of Waste.
COORDINATION URGED
Using Bltuminous Coal Industry as
Example He Says a Concerted
Effort Would Prevent Alternate
Demand and Shortage.

Washington-Three sources OF waste

ting each were outlined by Herbert
Hoover in an address before the fed
Grated American Engineering societies
speaking as president-elect of the or
ganization.
Intermittent employment, unemploy-
ment that arises in shifting Industrial
currents, and strikes and lockouts
were the causes he mentioned.
Intermittent employment, the former
food administrator said might be elimi-
mated at least in part by coordination
of economic groups, the various indus
tries working together to aid each
other. Using the bituminous coal In

age.
Government Should Help.
Present necessary legislation against
combinations, he added, makes co-or-
dination impossible, but he suggested
that there be developed some method
Of governmental interest, not in gov
ernmental ownership, but in stimula-
ton to cooperation in better organiza-
ton"
Loss Of production incident to shift
ing of workers because of seasons and
short period operations In industry, ME-.
Hoover told the engineers, could be
lessened by the expansion and better
organization of local and federal labor
exchanges. Unless such machinery is
provided the individual worker, he
said, lis helpless to find the contacts
necessary to make this shift"
Collective Bargaining Cure.
Strikes and lockouts would be ma
terially lessened by the universal ac-
ceptance and use of collective bargain
ing, Mr.. Hoover declared, adding that
he was confident that this principle
could be worked out along the lines
laid down by the Presidents second in
dustrial conference, of which he was
a member. That principle, he said,
proposed that each party to an indus
trial controversy should have the right
to summon skill and experience to it's
assistance and that in event one OF
the parties refused to enter into nego-
tiations the entire question should be
referred to an Independent tribunal for
Investigation.
Mr.. Hoover issued a warning, say
ing: 1--WE have just passed throuf&i a
period of unparalleled speculation, era
vagance and waste. We shall now not
only reap its inevitable harvest of un-
employment and readjustment, but we
shall feel the real effect of four years
of world destruction and from It eco
nomic and social problems will stand
out in vivid disputation."
Other suggestions made by Mr..
Hoover to clarity the labor situation
included the establishment of two or
three levels of wage in each trade, the
position of each man In such a scale to
be based on comparative skill and
character. This, he said, would revive
selfinterest and initiative. He also
advocated extension of the shop com
mittee system.

Service Hampered
 By Melting Snow

Trolley service to the north end Of the city was put on half-hour sched- ule this afternoon owing to the ac- cumulation of water at the iuncture of Hartford avenue and Stanley street where the water was more than is inches deep. Cars were run up to this point and passengers were trans ferred to a car on the other side of the stretch of water. Nearly 10 min utes was lost each time the exchange was made. making it necessary to adopt the 30-minute sched ule. After the water reaches more than F inches in depth the trolley cars can not run. as the motors burn out, ne cessitating the removal of the car to the repair shop for several days. The Berlin line was reported to bc in trouble owing to the backing up of water under the Kensinston railroad bridge.
