CHEAP LABOR
And Illiteracy a Menace to
Nation, Declares New
Yorker

Cleveland. Because of cheap labor
and illiteracy the industrial centers of
our country are millstones around the
neck of the nation, said Frank Bohn,
of New York, in a speech before busi-
ness men in this city
The speaker traced American his
tory from the economic standpoint.
He said that slavery, the greatest
blunder in the United States, was
caused by desire for cheap labor,
and that the organized economic
forces of America are now commit
ting a blunder which promises to be
greater by demanding cheap labor in
industry.

WAS A SUCCESS!
Says President Gompers of
the Unemployment Con-
ference
Those Seeking Practical
Measures Satisfied With
Final Determinations

Washington organized labor is
too much concerned in the solution of
unemployment or any other phase of
the industrial problem to ignore that
which is constructive" said President
Gompers in his report on the national
unemployment conference, which has
been approved by the A. F. of L. ex-
ecutive council.
Some writer's, said the trade union
executive, have indulged in fault-find-
ing comment on the conference details
and ignored the board, construc-
tive achievements which critical anal
ysis makes apparent.
-Four lines of deliberation were be-
fore the conference: The fundamen-
tai cause of unemployment, the re-
sponsibility for relieving unemploy-
ment, methods for temporary relief
and permanent solution of the unem-
ploymept problem.
wide departure from these major
both reactionary and radical mem
bers, but the final determinations of
the conference were in accord with the
expectations of those seeking practi-
cal measures. The four major achieve
ments were
"First-The conference established
the idea that the fundamental cause
of unemployment is waste in industry
which is cumulative and periodically
produces an industrial depression I'm
employment is the result of causes
capable of control and in normal pro-
portions has been a constant accom-
plishment of industry.
"Second-The responsibility for
dealing with the unemployment prob
lem was removed from the controver-
sial field and placed squarely on in
dustry, because it can be solved only
by industrial development of employ
ment for the involuntary idle.
"Third-A method of temporary re-
lief was provided by an executive
agency directed to get practical re-
suits in the present emergency
| through action by the municipalities.
Fourth-Permanent solution of the
unemployment problem was not to be
expected of the first sessions of the
conference, but a foundation was laid
for eventual steps toward this end.
Constructive programs are possible
when it is recognized that accurate in
formation is the basis of intelligent
action. In the following actions the
conference went as far as it could to
insure collection of the essential in
formation and to insure its utiliza-
tion for constructive measures.
"Final judgment of the work of the
conference cannot be made until it
goes out of existence. 1t can be re-
convened at any time to deal either
with temporary or permanent relief
of unemployment, and it will be re-
convened when the time comes to con-
centrate its authority and influence
for the purpose of giving to its rec
concentrations permanent form and
substance. This fact of permanence
to our national consideration of the
problem of industrial unemployment
is an important achievement of the
first sessions of the conference"

WANT MINERS ARRESTED

Denver-In letter to district at

miners who are on strike against
wage cuts. The law provides that
employer or employed shall not

commission has been given a 30-days'

wages 80 per cent, and this violation
of the law was not noticed by the

The Mounting Scrap Heap

There are two enterprises which almost every one who has tried either, thinks his natural smartness enables him conduct to success One is the running of hotel and the other the running of newspaper
 The woods are full of people, and always been, who are appalled, at the way newspapers are managed. They infest newspaper offices and sume managers and editors with outlines of their journalistic reforms Now and then one of these reformers has the nerve and the money to start a newspaper and run it according to his own notions-to give the people the kind of newspaper thinks they ought to have and not the kind long experience has shown they want
 These newspapers always find resting places in the same place, the scrap heap.
 The latest addition to the junk pile is thus chroncled A. P. dispatch:

 The leopard is not animal of wide habitat. It is found only in comparatively regions and is not numerous in even its limited environment. This person who little about leopards. except skins he has them, asks if that the human may be clad. But on the inside sings that all is not gold that glitters so was every spotted furred skin the habilament of crouching leopard; in fact very of them.
 There in the world goats than leopards and a goat skin be manipulated that even leopard might accept it former coat of a kinsman.
