ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., Aug. a.
The present unemployment situation
is an economic crime that is result
ing in loss of s27 10000 a day in
wages to the workers of the country,
President Samuel Gompers declared
tonight, following session of the ex-
Hecutive council of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, at which present un-
employment conditions were discussed.
Wage reductions will not relieve the
situation, the veteran labor chief said
adding that such action will further
curtail our democratic purchasing
power, and more factories will close
because the people have not the money
to buy their products.
"The present depression" he added,
t'will become even more acute and the
reductions, if they can be forced upon
us, will not only prove a boomerang 10
the employer but a menace to our eco
nomic, financial and political struc-
ture.
Tn all this talk about readjust-
ment and reconstruction why is it
that the pressure is always brought to
bear upon those whose standards of

and deteriorated by a re-
duction in wages, and why this drive to
reduce their wages first
THE rank and file cannot under
stand how readjustment and recon-
struction can mean only reduction of
their wages.
II have been asked who, among the
has suggested reduction in
the rate OF interest on a loan or s. re-
duction of profits or even a stimuli
taneous reduction of wages and pro-
fits.
The cost of living has not come
down. Instead. with profiteering un-
and unrestrained, it is going
up, especially rents. Ninety per cent of
the homes In the United States were
built before the war, but the exhorbi-
tant rents gouged out of the tenants
by the profiteering and INSCRIPTIONS
landlords is blamed on the high cost
of labor during the war.
THE council had before it proposal
to call upon congress to take steps to
relieve the present unemployment sit
uation by legislation and making ap-
that would aid in speed
ing up public work. Action on this viii
probably be taken later this week.

SENATE REACHES AN AGREEMENT ON
SHIPPING BOARD DEFICIENCY BILL
Spirited Debate on President
Harding's Course of Soldier
Bonus Legislation.
10y The Associated Press,

WASHINGTON. Aug. 22.-After a
continuous session of more than 12
hours, during which President Hard
ing's course In recently addressing the
senate on soldier bonus legislation was
vigorously debated, the enate reached
an agreement on all provisions of the
shipping board deficiency bill. carrying
$4S, S,500,0 900, and upon adjourning at
11:15 o'clock tonight, arranged to take
a vote on passage of the bill upon re-
convening at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
Early In the day the senate elimi-
mated an amendment to limit salaries
paid to officials of the board and to-
night on virtually straight party votes
it rejected three separate amendments
offered by Senator Trammell, demo-
crat, of Florida, designed to prevent
recently connected with firms having
claims against the board.
The discussion was started by Sem
ator I1aFoIette, republican, of Wiscon-
sin, who referred to the resolution in
troduced in the house by Representa-
tive Cochran. democrat, Of New York,
criticizing the president for addressing
one branch of congress on pending leg
islation mad drew many senator's into
the fray.
Senator Lodge, the republican leader,
called attention to the peace without
victory speech of former President
Wilson to the senate prior to American
entrance into the war; and his ad-
dress on the suffrage amendment later.
It would be a sad day for the republic
the Massachusetts senator said, when
any one of the three branches of the
government could not confer with an
other.
Declaring it was not necessary to
criticize or eulogize Mr.. Harding, Sen
ator Borah, republican, of Idaho, said
that on the question Of bonus I'VE sur
rendered our judgment to his dicta-
tion." If the president wanted a prec-
edent, there were plenty, he declared.
adding that this did not change the
situation.
Mr.. LaFollette assailed the presi-
dent for what he described as exec
utive interference with the legislative
branch OF the government. He asserted
that the president was brought into the
debate to prevent passage of the bill
and that his action was without au-
thority under the constitution.
TT were well If that black page in
the senate's history could be destroy
ed and forever forgotten" Mr.. LaFol-
lette declared. TT was remarkable
that alarm should seize the presidents
mind when the soldiers bonus bill was
pending and appear at the senate to
rescue the nations finances from ut
ter destruction.
