REDUCTIONS
IN WAGES ALSO
DISCUSSED
Reports Received By the
Council at Cincinnati Tell
of More Than 1000, 900
Workers Out of Employ
ment--Many People Re-
ported Suffering

Cincinnati, May 6.--The principles
forces Of the United States will be
asked to support and uphold during
next year were being drafted by the
executive council of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor here to-day.
This declaration when completed will
be incorporated in the councils an
nual report and be presented to the
annual convention of the federation to
be held in June at Denver, Col.
While the councils program is ten
tative, II was unofiicially learned that
the trade unions will be asked to con
tinue the fight against "open shop
Repeal of the antitrust laws or spe-
cial exemption for labor unions from
persecution under such laws will also
occupy prominent place in the docu-
ment. Resistance to court injunctions
and compulsory arbitration will also
be urged.
The council will also officially noti-
fy the convention of the severance of
relations with the European orgsni-
zations' radical tendencies.
The council, it was learned to-day,
is going to give consideration to the
question of wage reductions and the
cost of living. Labor officials said
that the council takes the position
that a widespread attempt is being
made to reduce wages while retail
prices are maintained at much high
er standard than the situation justi-
fes.
Reports received by the council to-
day showed that more than 100000
persons are without employment in the
country and the situation is showing
no improvement.
William Green, secretary of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America, said that
10000 miners are out of work and
that 100000 are working from one to
three days a week.
practically none of our men have
steady employment" he added. "There
is no market for coal and the mines
are shut down. The English mine
strike had no effect at all on the Amer
lean market
Many of our people are suffering
from the situation. They would face
starvation if they took a wage reduc-
tion, for that would not increase their
opportunity for work
The executive council was brought
under the fire to-day of the local sd
vocates of the "open shop" movement.
L. II. Van Matre, secretary of the in
iustrial division of the Chamber of
Commerce, issued a statement attack
ing the close union shop as restric-
tion upon "a workers ability and OPP
portunity by its deadleve standard
He also said that the "closed shop
iiscriminates and interferes with a
mans opportunity of earning a hveli
hood, More than a thousand con
Germs here, Mr.. Van Mstre declared,
have declared for the "open shop"
LET them go ahead" said President
Gompers. They cannot injure the
