FOR SAVING WAGE.
Is Best for Both Sides, Declares
Secretary Davis.
Proper Conditions Would Make
Strikes Impossible.

Detroit Oct. President Harding
believes that the railroad worker is of
such importance in our national ex-
istence that his wages and the condi-
tions under which he works should be
such as to make his employment so
attractive that strikes will be impos-
sible," Secretary Davis of the labor de-
partment declared here today in ad-
dressing the convention of United
Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way
employees and railway shop laborers.
The secretary also advocated ''sav-
ing wage,'' for the American
workers. s.si---- ~
Makes Contentment Possible.
More and more American employ
ers are seeing the wisdom of the saw
ing wage he continued. This wage
principle promotes happines and con-
tentment in the workman's home, and
increases the buying power of the
great group of American wage earn
ers, upon whom we depend to buy
great part of our great industrial out
put.
THE president has voiced his views
thus: .-=..--..
1.-The workman's lowest wage must
be enough to make his house a home,
enough to insure that the struggle for
existence shall not crowd out the
