Davis Aims to
Check Strikes
By Prevention
New Labor Bureau, Divi-
sion o. Cancellation, Will
Have Specialist for Each
of Ten Basic Industries
Harding Originated Plan
Corps of Speakers Also to
Spread Idea of Settling
Strife Before 1t Starts
FROM The Tribune's WasAimotom Bureau

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April 25.--Organiza-
ton of a new branch of the Depart
ment Of Labor which would take up
labor mediation on broad national
scale-wfth experts on all the basic
industries of the country permanently
on the job and looking to prevention
rather than settlement Of labor
troubles--is being considered by Sec
rotary Of Labor Davis
The idea Of this new agency of the
department which is to be known as
the division of Cancellation, is under
stood to have originated with Presi-.
dent Harding. Under the plan rapidly
taking shape there will be ten sub
divisions, one for each of the ten
principal basic industries. Each SUBJ
division will be under the charge of
specialist, who will join Immediately
in any controversy in his Industry as
the participant for the government. In
controversies where there may be an
overlapping into one or more other in
dustries the heads of the affected sub
divisions will operate collectively.
In addition to shc labor specialists 1t
is planned to have twenty-five or thirty
additional experts, who, when there
are no labor troubles, would go whcr-
aver they could get any audience and
talk on labor questions from the stand
point of "it is better to get together
before the trouble than afterward."
Among the ten basic industries be-
ing considered by Secretary Davis are
iron and steel, shipping, agricultural,
railroads and leather.
1t Is pointed out that no now author
ity is needed to effect this addition to
the Department of Labor. A larger ap-
propriation will be necessary This
would be offset, it is contended, by re-
ieving the industrial relations com
mlttee of the Shipping Board of much
OF It's work, as well as taking over
some of the duties of the railroad me-
diation boards. 1t is estimated that
these require more than 100000
annually.

From The Tribume's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Capper, of Kansas, to day introduced
bill to repeal that provision il the
transportation act which directs the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
make rates which will assure a return
to the carriers as a whole of per cent.
This is the so-called guarantee pro-
vision Of the Cummins-Esch law, which
has been a subject of much controversy
and against which farmers, livestock
men and shippers generally are pro-
testing
Senator Capper's bill would prevent
the Interstate Commerce Commission
from encroaching on state rates and
nullities the orders Of the commission
heretofore made so far as they affect
rates within the states
Senator Capper in a statement as
serted that the rate situation was so
acute that relief was imperative and
rates must be lowered. He said:
my bill has the approval of practi-
cally all the farm organizations and a
large number of state railway and util-
lty commissions. At a recent meeting
in Chicago, attended by grain and live
stock speakers from all the middle
West states, committee was appointed
to ask Congress for this legislation
The most pressing question in the
United States at this moment, and the
greatest obstacle in the way Of re-
turn to normal conditions and the res
toration of business, is the high trans
portation rates.
Rates Blamed for Stagnancy
RAILROAD rates are now prohbitive
on many products of the arm. Not
only do we have this situation in regard
to agriculture, but we have nation
wide stagnation of general business.
for commerce between the states is hit
almost as hard by high rates of transit
as is agriculture. We have placed an
embargo on ourselves and must find a
speedy means of removing it if we are
going to get business off its dead cen
ter and save the railroads from receiv-
erships and bankruptcy.
The semi mystery Of the recent
arrival at our seaports of shiploads of
! foreign products, products of which
TINS country has an eXportable surplus
of its own, becomes clearer when we
learn that bushel of grain can be
shipped from South America for l2
cents, but that it costs 80 cents to
ship bushel of wheat to the city from
Minneapolis by rail There can be no
defense for the highest rail rates in
history at a time when every rail car
ried commodity is seeking the pre-war
level.
"The situation is so acute that i'm
mediate relief 3 imperative. A sub
stantial reduction in rates is the only
solution. My bill will at least help"

A II =.

From Tho Tribunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April 25.-Secretary
of War Weeks and representatives Of
workmen employed in the Panama
Canal Zone will confer Wednesday
over what the employees declare to be
discriminatory rates of pay for GER
tain classes of labor on the canal.
The conference will provide Secretary
Weeks with an opportunity Of making
some Inquiries about the wage scale
now in effect in the Canal Zone, which
he recently referred to as operated by
CONSTRUCTION company government
Secretary Weeks is known to believe
that the present wage scale, which is
approximately % per cent higher than
that paid for similar services in the
States, should be revised downward.
He believes that the operation of the
canal, which costs in round figures
100000 a month, is entirely too high.
A visit of inspection and investiga-
ton of the Canal Zone is to be made
by Secretary Weeks as soon as he can
find the opportunity to leave Wash
