=: ATLANTIC CITY. \. j.. August %
SThe executive council OF the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor today started
work on the drafting of "a policy to
serve as a guide for the labor move
ment Of America"
A thorough and scientific investiga-
tion of the entire field of modern in
fiustry will be ordered, it Is stated
and the results of this inquiry will
form the basis of the new policy.
NO investigators or students have
undertaken a more fundamental in
Quiry or inquiry of greater meaning,
said Samuel Gompers, president of the
federation. I'm order to report in ac-
cordance with the directions of the
Denver convention those who under
take the inquiry must delve into every
nook and corner of the realm OF pro-
duction, for 1t is obvious that no part
of our Industrial life is without its
bearing upon the question of wages
had its bearing upon every phase of
industry and every other question in
volved in industry"
Committee's Report Ready.
The council had before it today a
report of a committee which con-
Quoted an investigation to determine
the possibility of coordinatinG the
activities conducted under the au
spices of organized labor.
This committee also investigated
the strength of the demand for a
central labor university. (which may
be developed among the affiliated
unions and considered the matter of
extension courses and scholarships
which would make the facilities of
such an institution of widest serv
ice. The question of administration
and financing such a university also
were considered.
a report on an investigation to de-
termine if organized labor is getting
square deaF' in school text books
is expected shortly.
While the council has taken a sur
cey Of the Unemployment situation
and discussed wage reductions. 1t is
stated that no action has been taken
on these matters. Wage reductions.
labor leaders say. are being accepted
by the unions under protest and the
question of encouraging the organized
workers to strike will not be con-
sidered.
Sees Millions in Pay Lost.
The present unemployment situa-
ton is an economic crime" that is
resulting in a loss of $21.o00.000 a
day in wages to the workers of the
country. President Samuel Gompers
declared last night.
"rhe present Lepression.'' he added.
will become even more acute. an'.
the reductions. if they can be forced
upon u.s. will not only prove a
boomerang to the employer but a
menace to our economic. financial
and political structure.
! I'm all this talk about readjust-
ment and reconstruction. why is it
that the pressure is always brought
to bear upon those whose standards
of life and everyday existence would
be demoralized and deteriorated by a
reduction in wages. and why this
drive to reduce their wages first
The rank and file cannot understand

CANAL Project
COST @,72S,o)D
Utilization of st. Lawrence,
Montreal to Lake Ontario,
Held Feasible.

Utilization Of the water in the St
Lawrence river from Montreal Can
ada, to Lake Ontario for canal and
power development purposes and
deepening Of the channel to twenty
FIVE feet for navigation purposes is
found feasible in a report submitted
today to the international joint com
mission by engineers of the United
States and Canada. Total cost Of the
project is placed at s252,72s.000. in
cluding development Of the hydro
electric power plant, which is poten-
TALLY placed at 100000 horsepower.
Development of such vast amount OF
energy. however, is not considered
feasible by the engineers. who say it
would not be a sound economic pro-
ceedure. as a market for it is not now
in existence. and cannot be expected
to materialize at once.
The sound method, the report says,
is to improve for navigation alone
reaches in the St. Lawrence river
where side canals and locks can most
economically be used and where de-
velopment of power at some future
time is not interfered with by the pro-
posed Improvement.
The commission. which is composed
of Obadiah Gardner of Maine. chair
Smith and William H. Smith, secre-
tary. representing the United States.
and Charles A. Magrath. chairman:
Henry A. Powell. X. c.; Sir William
Hearst. K. c. NJ. c., and Lawrence J.
Burpee. secretary. representing Can
ada. will consider the report at a
meeting in Ottawa, October T. The
report is open to the public until Sep
tember 20 at the old land Office build
ing.
Total annual cost Of operation of the
project is estimated at s2.562.000 and
the estimated cost of increasing the
entire stretch to thirty-foot depth is
l1,9s6.lS0. The improvements con-
templated in the report can be made in
eight years and will permit control over
the water level in Lake Ontario
Cost of developing the fourth section
Of the project. which is between st.
Regis Island and WaddinRton. n. Y.
and is the largest section. is placed at
$l59. .091.200. of which s1.457.0 is
chargeable to power development. Rec
ommendation is made that only de-
velopment Of 1.464. 00-horsepower be
contemplated at present under the es-
timated cost of 252. .728. 900.
