Price Decline and Federal

Washington, Aug. 22.-Federal re-

price and current deflation are Gym
ical, cruel and inexcusable". and con-
stitute financial tyranny and COM
mercial criminahty", j. S. Wana-
maker, president of the American
Cotton Association, charged Monday
before a joint congressional axricui-
turai commission. The boards meth

in the United States at the expense Of
all civilization.
Speaks for Producers.
Speaking, he said, for agricultural
producers, the witness asserted the
federal board and banks were respon-
sible for the general price decline. The
boards pressure stir was being exert
ed upon bankers who are afraid of
their shadow, who may find all their
loans called by the reserve bank any
minute. and dare not disobey its
orders, according to Mr.. Wana-
maker, who asked the commission to
recommend legislation for general re-
vision of the reserve board personnel.
He proposed that the personnel be
composed of 12 members, nominated
from the various districts as repre-
sentatives of industry instead of bank
ing. who should be appointed by the
president and confirmed by the senate.
Further he suggested that the com
mission recommend the instaSl teduc-
ton in federal reserve re-discount
rates to basis of 81 per cent Of
Liberty loan collateral.
System Harmful.
''The federal reserve banking system
created to serve the people BY it's
administration, has made the people
servants of the system" he asserted.
Its policy will require the American
people to pay with debated dollars a
national debt borrowed in inflated dol
lars
Price declines that have been ef-
fected lately, he declared. will not
help consumers because they have
left nothing to agricultural produc-
ers to do but combine and reduce pro-
duction SO low in the future that
prices will give us some margin Of
profit and let US pay our debts"

Atlantic City. n. ], Aug. 22-The
present unemployment situation is an
"economic crime that is resulting in
loss of $27 100000 a day in wages
to the workers of the country. Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers declared Mon
day night following a session of the
executive council of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor. at which present
unemployment conditions were dis
cussed.
Wage reductions will not relieve the
situation. the veteran labor chief said.
adding that such action will further
curtail our domestic purchasing power.
and more factories will close because
the people have not the money to buy
their products.
Becoming More Acute.
'1'he present depression he added.
will become even more acute and the
reductions. if they can be forced upon
us. will not only prove a boomerang
to the employer. but menace to our
economic. financial and political struc-
lures.
I'm all this talk about readjustment
and reconstruction. why is it that the
pressure is always brought TO bear
upon those whose standards of life and
everyday existence would be demeral-
ICED and deteriorated by a reduction
in wages. and why this drive to reduce
their wages first? The rank and file
cannot understand how readjustment
and reconstruction can mean only re-
duction of their wages.
II have been asked who, among the
capitalists. has suggested a reduction
in the rate of interest on loan or a
reduction of profits. or even a simul
taneous reduction of wages and profits.
THE cost of living has not come
down. Instead. with profteering un
checked and unrestrained. it is going
up, especially rents Ninety per cent

The office was crowded with appli-
