GOMPERS TO RESIST
FURTHER WAGE CUTS
Says Bankers and Business
Men Should Take Losses
Before Labor Suffers.
WARNS OF REDUCTIONS
Leader Of Federation Makes 1t
Plain Drastic Steps May
Be Taken.

Special Despatch 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD.
ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 22.-"The work
Ing men or America" said Samuel
Gompers in statement issued here to-
day after the meeting OF the Executive
Council Of the American Federation of
Labor, cannot understand how read
justment and reconstruction can mean
only reduction Of their wages. Why
this drive to reduce working mems
wages first? Wouldn't It be more
humane to start with them as have
and reduce the gigantic profits and in
comes? Who among the capitalists has
suggested reduction in the rate of
interest on q loan or reduction of
profits. or even simultaneous reduction
Of wages and profits?"
Mr.. Gompers's statement made II
clear that organized labor intends to re-
sist to the utmost any further effort to
reduce wages under the guise Of recon-
struction or business adjustment. He
refused to say just what steps labor is
prepared to take, but his views were
elaborated by Frank Morrison, secretary
Of the federation, who said
when a reduction Is proposed there
are but two alternatives for labor. One
is to accept 1t and the other is to strike.
Labor has found out that when It ac-
cepts one reduction 1t is Immediately
asked to accept another. Take the case
OF the Steel Trust They have already
put over three reductions, haven't they?"
Mr.. Gompers declared that one Of
the most dangerous concepts of the
period is that automobiles and ice cream
are all right for those who do not serve
society and who produce nothing. but
toilers must enjoy none OF the good
things Of life.
They must aspire to nothing" he
said. Theirs Is but to drudge. drudge,
drudge. This idea Is inhuman. Who
has the right to say to his fellows. You
shall have no more than just enough to
live orr
The executive council discussed only
routine matters during to-day's ses-
sion. but 1t is predicted that the fedora
ton will make every effort to induce
President Harding to include repre-
sentative of organized labor among
those who will attend the disarmament
conference. Mr.. Gompers, at the OPEN
ing of the session to-day. told the men,
bers of the committee that he had re-
ceived letter from the President and
that Mr.. Harding looks with favor upon
laboNs request for representation at the
conference. The President, he said, had
been corresponding with organized labor
In other countries to ascertain their at
titude on the question.
In his statement Mr.. Gompers said
that a tremendous protest against any
further reduction in wages is coming
from the wives of the working men.
THE women know that the cost of
living has not come down." he said.
Instead. with profiteering rampant un-
checked and unrestrained, 1t is going up,
especially rents.
There are more than five and half
million unemployed In the United States.
according to the report of the Depart
ment of Labor. The fact that these
men. willing and anxious to work. are
forced into ideness is an indictment, Is
an economic crime"

Secretary Hoover says he Will use
scrub brush" in cleaning out the Fed
eral Shipping Commissioners office in
New York as a result OF graft dis
closures.
Mr.. Hoover to-day called for the resig-
nation OF Patrick II. Quinn, Shipping
Commissioner at the Port OF New York
Mr.. Quinn was suspended two weeks ago
following sensational charges OF graft
Ing among the employees of his office.
Commissioner Quinn was exonera ted
by the Secretary OF any direct connec-
ton with graft. Mr.. Hoover said the
evidence failed to disclose that Mr.
Quinn had profted in any way in the
vast sums collected in gratuities from,
shipping concerns over many years. He
was not held entirely blameless because
the practices had been permitted to go
on for so long without action. said Mr..
Hoover.
The New York shipping graft evil
dence, it was said, has led to revelations
OF similar practices in almost every port
In the United States. The New York
branch of the Bureau of Navigation is
to be cleaned up from top to bottom.
Immediately following this there Is TO
be a vigorous wedding out of the per-
sonnet in many OF the other ports on
DO tn coasts and the gulf.

BURNS TO COMBINE
WORK OF BUREAUS
Will Promote Efficiency and
Economy in Departments
Of Investigation.
Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD

Special Despatch to The NEW YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c., Aug. 2e.
When William J. Burns took the
oath OF office as Chief of the Bureau
OF Investigation of the Department OF
Justice to-day 1t was the first step
toward a consolidation Of all the various
and conflicting governmental detective
agencies
1t is understood that Mr.. Burns ac-
cepted the post as Chief Of the Bureau
Of Investigation with the understanding
that the different bureaus would be
brought together into one group. OF
which he Is to be the head. In the work
Of construction he is to have the help
OF Walter Brown. chairman OF the joint
Congressional committee on reorganiza-
ton which is now engaged In realigning
executive departments for the sake OF
economy and efficiency.
At present the chief agencies conduct
ing Investigations for the Government
are the United States Secret Service,
attached to the Treasury Department
the Bureau Of Investigation. Of She De-
partment Of Justice; the Prohibition
officers under the prohibition enforce
ment service Of the Treasury Depart
ment the corps of investigators on
the Bureau OF Internal Revenue: the
Postofice inspectors. under the Post
office Department the immigration off,
GERS under the Department of Labor
special operatives, under the State De-
partment, and so on down long list.
While the primary purpose OF their work
Is different, yet In a general way II
Is the same.
The lack OF coordination became most
fragrant during the war. The United
States Secret Service was intended solely
to prevent the counterfeiting of Govern
ment securities and money and for the
protection Of the President, but during
the war the work went much further
than that. The Bureau of Investiga-
ton. on the other hand. was designed
originally for the collection of evidence
to be used in different Government civil
prosecutions, but the authority was ex-
tended to include criminal cases of cer-
tain kinds
Meantime there was rapid expansion
OF the Bureau OF Internal Revenue
charged with the collection of many
new taxes. and so the organization built
up Its own investigation service. This
was true also with the establishment
of the prohibition enforcement service.
The State Department during the war
found It advisable to have its own In
formation service. Constant conflict re-
suited. There was for time an open
row between the Bureau of Investiga-
ton and the United States Secret Ser
vice, into which the chiefs Of the de-
partments. Secretary McAdoo and At
torney-General Palmer. finally were
dragged. There was a reassignment of
duties and the programme worked fairly
well as a war emergency.
1t is primarily to reduce expenses,
but also for efficiency. that the con-
solidation Is proposed. 1t Is hoped to
create a bureau which will be a clearing
house for inforation to help the depart
ments in the particular lines in which
they are interested.

skid about and then turn over. Mr..
Hays said at the Waldorf last night
however. that Norton was to blame and
that the taxicab crashed into his ma
chine.
The Hays automobile. driven by Mr..
Hays's chauffeur. John Stewart. had
been taking Mr.. Hays and his friends
sightseeing and was proceeding west in
Thirty-third street. Mr.. Hays said that
lis car stopped at Madison avenue to
allow a northbound taxlcab to pass, and
then started again. In the centre OF
the street. he said. his machine was
struck on the right fender by the taxi
cab driven by Norton. A report spread
that Mr.. Hays and several of his friends
had been seriously hurt but the Post
master General said that none Of them
had even beei bruised.
Mr.. Hays said that he was In New
York on business connected with mail
contracts. He expected to return to
Washington early this morning.

No Brine, No ammonia
Gan Touch the Ice

Two inquirers ask doesn't
brine get into the ice-doesn't
ammonia come in contact with
it? Knickerbocker though t
everybody knew that scientifi-
cally made ice was the clcanest,
purest product possible. 4 times
filtered water is sealed in abso-
lutely sanitary containers. Brine
surrounds them, as salt and ice
surround the container in your
ice cream freezer.
The ammonia is secure IN pipes that run
through the brine. Ammonia abstracts
the heat. For in freezing you take heat
from the iooter TO be made into ice; voH
do not put cold into ii. No brine, no
ammonia can touch the ice.
