HUGH WILLIAMS PRAISED
FOR HIS WORK FOR WEST

tion probably would not have gotten
thru but for Hugh H. Williams work
at the convention of the National
Association Of Railway and Utilities
Commissioners according TO ]. +.
Shaughnessy, chairman of the Ne
vada public service commission.
Shaughnessy writes the corpora
tion commission:
am glad TO take advantage of
this opportunity to say that you have
an exceedingly able chairman in the
person of Hugh H. Williams and
without his assistance and the able
presentation which he made in his
speech before the convention cover
ing our long and short haul situa-
tion | feel certain the resolution
would not have passed.
New Mexico, in fact, the entire in
ter-mountain country, as we'll as the
Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio river
valleys and sections intermediate
thereto are to be congratulated in
having a man of Mr.. Williams abil-
ity and courage to lead this fight
for them. We in Nevada appreciate
the service he rendered to the cause
and feel that we cannot too highly
commend the initiative and courage
he displayed in the face Of what
seemed OVerpowering opposition as
the resolution had to be carried TO
the floor of the convention after
the legislative committee had refus-
ed to indorse it or report it favor
ably.
Personally, | desire to state that
il will always afford me pleasure to
have The opportunity Of working
for Che interest and unbuilding Of
the intermountain country with such
a live and energetic representative
as your Honorable Chairman proved

Because OF threatened international

OF the Treasury Department has
determined TO practically ignore the
opinion Of former Acknowledgement
Palmer, holding that liquor I'm tran

States and that no ship could enter
with imports or liquor without seiz-
ure.
This Government was threatened
with international complications IL
the decision was contrued literally.
Great Britain and other Powers had
protested that to rule passenger
ships out Of our ports because they
had bars would be a violation Of
British rights and an interference
with trade relations and agreements.
In this situation the State De-
partment asked the Treasury to OBJ

review was asked by Secretary OF
the Treasury Houston, but the De-
partment Of Justice replied there
could be found nothing in the law on

and readjustments. Others may be
necessary, even in the steel business,
before complete restoration of normal
conditions. | am not now prepared to
express an opinion on this subject. 1t
depends upon circumstances. AS to
prices and wage rates, producers and
employees must be fair and reasonable,
taking everything into account; fair
towards each other and towards the
general public.
1t is well known that at present, un-
less and until wage rates are furthr
decreased, the costs of many steel pro-
ducers will not permit lower selling
prices. This presents serious prob
lem. Personally, | think under such
conditions wage rates should not be
reduced until or about the time selling
prices are lowered. / also believe it
would be unjust to further reduce wage
rates before the costs. of living are
lower, not, of course, including the ex-
ceptional cases already mentioned
where the rates are extortionate, as in
many of the trades particularly So
far as practicable, all prices nd rates
should be adjusted at about the same
time so that all interested might be
justly and eQuitably treated. If gen.
eral relative basis has been or can be
found then this should be maintained
whether it is high or low. All inter
ests must receive the same considera
ton.
If we may rely upon the statements
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-11-02

by economic and statistical experts,
the country is now headed in the right
direction, and if this be true, as l be-
lieve, then our progress toward recoy-
cry, though slow at present, will in
crease as the days go by. The steel
business on the whole is little better
this month than it was last month.
General business throughout the Unit
ed States has been slowly improving.
1t is very good in some of the western
states. | am not at all discouraged
There Is an abundance of new bust
ness, with both ability and inclination
to place it, waiting for further adjust
ments which will put costs of living,
selling prices. wage rates and other
general incomes on relative parity
AS usual. many will wait too long
There is nothing the matter with the
country; 1t is with individuals. Pa
thence, courage and a fair disposition
will bring satisfactory conditions in
due time.

we have read of strikers violently at
lacking men who had taken or were
offering to fill the places made vacant.
Indeed, it seems to be common to at
tempt by force to prevent operation of
producing plants or transportation
lines. The freedom of men to work,
when and where they pleased, has
been interferred with. Many have
been seriously injured and some
killed.
If laws shall be enforced and peace

maintained, the other questions relat-
ing to economic progress and achieve
ment will be solved. The law of sup
ply and demand will steadily, II grad
ually, bring about necessary adjust
ments which are equitable and rela-
tive, and restore levels which are nat
more or less hesitating until 1t is gen.
orally believed the period of readjust-
ments is over.
