Convention Hall, New Orleans. La,
Oct. 17t-(By The Associated Press.)
The American Legion at a long ses-
sion Tuesday heard it's aspirations and
achievements praised by a dozen speak
ers. including distinguished visitors
from European nations, and selected
San Francisco as it's 1923 convention
city,
Kenesaw M. Lands, baseball COM
missioner, and Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of La
Dor, sat on the platform with the Lee
gion officials. Gompers was the prln-
cipal speaker of the morning session.
Gompers reiterated the attitude of
the American Federation of Labor IN
peace or in war"
That position, he declared, has not
changed since 1917, when America was
about to enter the World war. An -ex-
tract from the ~federation's official pro-
nouncement at that time was read to
the convention. 1t said:
TRADE unions of America in national
conference assembled in the capital OF
our nation hereby pledge ourselves in
peace or in war, in stress or in storm
to stand unreservedly by the standards
of liberty and the safety and preserva-
ton of the institutions and ideals OF our
republic.
tons life it is our earnest hope that
our republic may be safeguarded IN
its answering desire for peace. y
"Rut should our country be drawn
iK1e conflict, we offer our services
to eur country in every field of activ-
ify to defend, safeguard mad preserve
the republic of the United States OF
America against it's enemies, whoever
they may be-"
An impressive ceremony marked the
opening of the session, when the silken
colors of national headquarters of the
Legion were brought to the platform
and the convention stood with barred
heads.
Grand Old Man of Labor"
Hanford MacNider introduced Com.
pers as "the grand old man of labor
than whom, he said, the Legion has nc
better friend"
Gompers said it had been one of his
great ~endeavors--to promote the spirit
of comradeship between the Legion and
the federation.
Il salute you,' he said, turning tC
MacNider, "as one to a superior Off
Ger, and 1 would express to you thai
deep affection. and to you and the
great rank and file of your o~rganiza'

II pay tribute, too, to George f
Brier, your vice commander, Legion
naire and labor man."
After presentation of the nationa.
colors to the delegates at the opening
of the morning session, Commander
MacNider presented John Barton
Payne, national head of the American
Red Cross.
Payne said the Red Cross was mo-
a cult" but, the heart-throb of the

CHANCE To SHOW
RAILWAY INGENUITY
PICTURED BY HINES
Chance for Improvement i'm Re.
latiOns With Men, Says
EX-Chief.

Boston, Oct. 17.--Walker D.. Hines,
former director general of railroads,
pointed out Tuesday new opportuni-
ties for ingenuity and initiative in rail
road operation, in an address at the
annual meeting of the Associated In
dustries of Massachusetts.
The present difficulties in railroad
service, he said, constitute only a tenn
porary emergency condition. He said
that while Standardization of wages,
agreement on working conditions, and
the decision of the labor board had
restricted the initiative of the rail
roads, there still was opportunity to
find new ways to make progress.
He expressed the belief that rail
road arrangements, while concentrat-
ing their attention very largely upon
efficiency in the movement of trains,
had not given sufficient attention to
the efficiency of labor employed in the
terminals and in the maintenance OF
trackage and equipment.
"But there remains an even great
err field for effort and initiative, which
in my opinion has never been worked
by railroad arrangements as it ought
to have been and must be in the fu-
ture, and that is the field of the re-
lationship between the management
and the employees" Hines said.
Eat the present time, | think many
railroad arrangements are giving seri-
GUS attention to this feature.
Il believe q sincere spirit of desire
to promote the welfare of empolyes
and a settled policy to obtain through
regular conferences the views of the
employees as to what their welfare
requires and to explain to the en-
ployes the necessities of the man
agement will have a progressively
beneficial effect upon the efficiency
of railroad labor.

St. Paul, Oct. 17.-St. Paul is

Contamination of such a merger

solution of the Northern Securities

gigantic total of 81, 200, 900, 900, a new
high for the year, and an increase of
1886, 100000 over the same time a

ment of fourth liberty loans interest

little more than a month left in which
to raise the $4,000, Lowrey Memorial

that there will be final rush and

CUTS DOWN HOURS
INCREASES FORCE
Henry Ford Says Additional
Day of Rest Will Benefit His
Workers.

Detroit, Mich.-Adoption Of the
4O-hour week as a permanent policy
IN all plants of the Ford Moter Com
pany was announced by Edsel P.
Ford, president of the company. un-
der the new plan the factories will
be closed on Saturday and Sunday
and about 500 men will be added to
the force. The change will affect
approximately $4,000 employees, who
will continue to receive the minimum
of Sc day wages.
New employees, however will re-
ceive minimum of S5 daily, the pre-
war schedule. In making the an
nouncement Mr.. Ford said he had
reached the conclusion that the 40
hour week was practical, an addition
day of rest would prove of benefit
tot he workers, and that the produc-
ton schedules of the Ford industries
could be so arranged as to maintain
the present output on the eurtailed
week.
every man." Mr.. Ford's announce
ment said, "needs more than one day
for rest and recreation. The Ford
company has always sought to pro-
mote ideal home life for its employees.
We believe that in order to live pro-
perly every man should have moro
time to spend with his family; more
time for self-improvement; more
time for building up the place called
home.
Markets demands warrant the OPP
Grafton of the Ford pant six davs
weekly but we are satisfied that the
five-day week is practical and it has
been adopted as q permanent policy
of the company. Adjustments natu-
rally are necessary. In equipment
and in man power, the plants viii
have to be placed on a basis where
they can take care of production in
five days weekly.
"It will mean work for 5000 more
men. 1t will mean more machinery.
The goal cannot be fully realized at
once, but as soon as possible it is
the aim of the company to adjust
its business so that it can be carried
on without work on Saturday and
Sunday.
The new schedule win first be nut
into operation at the Highland Park
plant and extended later TO all fac
tories. but probably not to the Detroit,
Toledo & Ironton railroad. owned by
the Ford interests. SUNDAY work.
however, has all but been eliminated
on the railroad.
Mr.. Ford said he believed a greater
demand for motor vehicles. particu-
larry commercial was an indication
of better business conditions.
