Production Big Problem

By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bce Leased Wire.
Washington, Oct. Is. - That
neither commodity prices nor wage
vses can be maintained above the
natural economic level is asserted in
a statement issued by the employer
members of President Harding's con-
ference on unemployment, upon the
final adjournment OF the conference.
They declare that prices and wages
rose substantially hand in hand dur
ing the war, but that since that time
prices have declined more rapidly
than wages.
"The drastic economic adjustment,
through which we must pass in
dablishing new prices and values
for ryoods and services knows no
favoi,tes." says the statement. EN-
ployers and employees, manufactur-
ers, merchants. distributors, trans
rorters, all must meet them"
The employers maintain that their
principal difficulty is high and un-
balanced cost of production which is
keeping down the buying power OF
consumers. The condition cannot be
bettered, it is declared. until each
OF US recognizes it as fact and does
his part. Individually and collectively,

modities and services upon such

The government can do it's part, It
is stated, by settling the cost of busi-
ress operation represented in taxa
tlc-- quickly, simply and intelli-
gently.
A fiat declaration against any gen.
cral policy of wage reduction is con-
tanned in minority views of the
labor members OF the subcommittee
on manufactures. signed by Samuel
Gompers. Mrs. Sara A. Conboy and
Roy Dickinson.
"On the contrary, there must be
a policy calling for the highest pos
sible rate of wages in every in
dustry," says the minority report, in.
opposing any general wage rcduts'
ton. "In terms Of industrial we'll
being, this means the adoption of a
policy placing in the hands of all the
people the highest average OF buy
ing power in order that there may
be the greatest possible consumption
Of commodities and the greatest pos
sible consequent demand for the
production Of commodities. Reduc-
ton of buying power stops pur-
