Says All Must Bear Loss
at should be said" the report con-
cludes, that following the disordered
condition of the. worlds affairs, a
shrinkage in values is inevitable and
that normal conditions will be the

consumer, can but result in continue

Declaring that the cost of commodi-

ment toward reduction of prices to
the consumer is retarded chiefly at
the retailing stage, and that relief at

increased production, which would re.

RULES FOR BUSINESS
GARy'S SUGGESTION
AT STEEL MEETING

NEW YORK, April 1S.-Elbert H.
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel corporation, told the stock
holders at their annual meeting today
he was in favor of publicity, segula-
ton and reasonable control" OF Dusl'
ness through government agencies, as
a possible solution of or antidote to
the labor union problem"
Declaring he did not believe in SO,
cialism nor in governmental manage
ment or operation, he suggested that
non-partisan, nOn-sectarlan commits
sions or departments render decisions
subject to review by the highest
courts. Continuing his SuggesuOn, ne
said:
"Laws-clear, we'll defined. practic-
able and easy of comprehension-cov-
ering these matters, might be passed
and if so they should apply to all
bodies, exceeding certain specified
numbers or amounts. Both organized
capital and organized labor should be
placed under these laws. Each
should be entitled to the same protec
ton and be subject to the same re-
strictions and provisions.
Would be a Test
will labor unions consent to this?
They have heretofore objected. Here
would be a test. Labor union leaders
have before now asked and received
discriminatory exemptions. This is
wrong and it would be just as bad if
the situation were reversed. Employ,
ers generally desire only the same
treatment that is accorded to labor
unions The large majority of work
men also would be satisfied with this
Standard"
Mr.. Gary devoted a considerable
portion of his address to labor unions
and said: "The natural and certain eff
fects of labor unionism are expressed
by three words; Inefficiency, high
costs"
Traces Evolution
at seems to me-" he said, that the
natural, if not the necessary result OF
the contemplated progress of labor
unions, if successful, would be the
control of shops, then of the general
management of the business, then OF
capital. and finally the government
Admitting that unions may have
been justified in the long past" be-
cause workmen we're not treated just
ly, he clared there is now mo neces
sity" for labor unions, "in the opinion
of the large majority of both EN-
ployers and employees"
Mentions Outsiders.
Concerning the corporations deal
ing with its employees, he said: "Ad
verse. even harsh criticisms have
sometimes been made, but in this con
nection it is noticeable that these
criticisms have generally originated
with or been supported by ill-adviseo
or yicious-minded outsiders and not by
the workmen themselves" He said
the corporation had been very sue
cessful' in cultivating the feeling OF
amity among the employees.
He said the employees, on the aver
age. have received as high. if mo-
the highest compensation, and as gen
erous, if not the most generous, treat
ment accorded by any basic industr!
at any period in this or any othel
country"

ALLIES MUST CONFER
To FORCE PREPARATION,
STATES LLOYD GEORGE
(By Associated P-ass)

LONDON. April 18.-The German
government, said Prime Minister
Lloyd George in the house of commons
today, is still in default with regard to
reparations, the trial of persons &C
cused of offenses against the laws of
war, and disarmament. The Germans,
continued the prime minister. have
not thus far shown any inclination to
advance practical proposals for carry
ing out the treaty of Versailles in
these respects. Therefore, il was i'm
perative for the allies to confer with
regard to the further steps which
might be necessary to enforce com
pliance with the treaty. Mr.. Lloyd
Georges statement was in answer to
a question by Commander Ken.
worthy, Independent Liberal member
from Hull, as to whether the prime
minister's attention had been called
to the announcement of Premier
BRAND of France that France, as the
Questioner construed it, intended TO
use force against Germany after May
l, and whether British troops would
be involved in a new demonstration.
Reports Speculative
Reports of drastic action contem-
pidteu oy the diiles against Ger mdnE
to be taken May l, were characterized
in British official circles today as
highly speculative and hypothetical
These reports, it was pointed out, were
based on the assumption that Ger
many neither intends to pay ade
quate reparations or to offer a new and
acceptable solution for the reparations
problem, and British officials are de-
clining as yet to concur in any such as
sumption. However, should Germany
not offer solution before May l the
British will it is stated, consider that
she is deliberately blocking the
treaty and the British will act whole
heartedly with France in any action
necessary to enforce the treaty.

THE question of American recog-

ance to the peoples Of both coun-
tries" Mr.. Boland told the conven-
ton in his plea for "the support OF
all liberty-loving men"
I'VE seek for Ireland he said, the
application of those noble principles
for which you fought the war. We
seek your support SO that the age
long struggle may be contaminated in
the recognition of Irelandd by the
United States. We look to you for

a question of money. We will come
