CONFERENCE HERE
To PROBE REASON
OF BUSINESS CRISIS
Manufacturers Will Ask
For Freight Rate
80 Reduction.

To show up the causes for unem-
ployment rather than to immedi-
ately ameliorate the present situa-
ton will be the primary object of
the labor conference to be held in
Washington early in September.
omcials here are undetermined

ported. to call to Washington rep
resentative bankers. manufacturers
and business men from all parts of
the United States. These men will
sit in on the proceedings and tell
their side of the case.
Want Freight Rates Reduced.
That the manufacturers will seek
to secure a material reduction OF
freight rates. as the panacea for
present depression and unemploy-
ment. is authoritatively stated.
From 80 to 40 per cent reduction
all along the line will result in an
impetus to renewed production
which will be Immediately and
widely noticeable. manufacturers
representatives. who conferred with
Secretary of Commerce Hoover
Monday, declare.
Railroad authorities, however, are
unalterably opposed to reduction OF
rates unless they. can be assured
that Congress will approve the
S0OO.OOo.oO0 railroad refunding bill
The manufacturers claim that re-
duction of rates will create a senti-
ment over the country that will
make the passage Of the measure
possible. They also argue that in
creased movement of freight will
more than make up the deficit
created by the lowering Of the
schedule.
Preliminary Conference Tomorrow.
As a preliminary to the freight
rate reduction campaign. several.
prominent manufacturers will meet

dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

An attempt will I've made to CON
vince Atterbury that voluntary

will be expedient and desirable. If
argument is unsuccessful. the man.
