DAVIS PROTESTS CUT
IN WAGES OF LABOR
Secretary Tells Music Mer-
chant Diners Their Meal
Costs a Weeks Pay.
CALLS GRINDERS A PERIL
Honest Return for Honest
Work Cited as Bulwark
Agains Red and Agitator.

There are hundreds of thousands of
honest, capable American workmen who
when they get their pay envelopes on
Saturday will receive less or very little
more for their weeks labor than has
been paid for single meal at one OF
these occasions" said James II. Davis.
Secretary of Labor. last night at the
nineteenth annual banquet of the Ma
tional Association of Music Merchants
of America. The dinner was eaten in
the Hotel Commodore.
Mr.. Davis has made a plea that the
wages OF the worker be such as to give
him healthy recreation and he included
In such recreation the possibility of Gull
tivating the musical tastes of those to
whom any music is luxury. He con-
tinued:
Consider this seriously. How many
pianos do you suppose that wage will
put into contented, happy American
homes? How many musical instruments
can you sell to the man who on that
wage must provide a home and food
and clothing tor his wife and children?
How may man working for such a
wage provide for his wife those things
that make for strong. healthy mother
hood, fit to bear and rear a strong,
healthy generation of Americans?
He Knows Wage Farmers.
Knowing the wage earners as ! do,
for l have been among them and of
them. l am convinced of the desperate
nature of this problem The addition Of
the amount paid for place in this dis
tinguished gathering tonight to the
weekly wage of vast number of work
men in the United States would mean
the Transformation of that number of
men into contented citizens, ready and
willing to take their place in the ma
tion's struggle for progress.
1T would close the ears OF that num-
ber of men to the siren song of the
agitator and the Red, now abroad in
the land. 1t would restore to Industrial
and civic sanity the minds of thousands
of workmen who are now cropping in
darkness. often following the false
beacons of economic and political nos

tended, peaceful existence.
'Gentlemen. I say to you, in solemn
earnestness. that the saving wage

tional institutions.
Favors Community Music.
81 would like to see every city in
America thus organized on a community
music basis and 1t is for that purpose
that ! have suggested the Federal
Bureau of Recreation. America can be
organized musically because most
American workmen receive saving
wage. a wage that allows chem to put
aside thrift find after providing for
life and recreation There are 10000. 900
gainfully employed in the United States.
and, those of that 40,000.000 who re-
ceive saving wage are all prospective
customers for you music merchants.
You ought to be strong for the main
tenance OF the saving wage. To reduce
the wages of the American workman
half a dollar a day means wage loss
of s7,300.c00,000 a year.
THAT loss falls first on recreational
industry. for it is in recreation that
The workman and his family first un-
dertake to curtail their expenditures.
You gentlemen and every employer
of labor whose market ultimately de-
pends upon the wages the workingn2an
of America earns would do well to bear
these things in mind.

but both are evil.
Most enlightened employers join in
support for the saving wage. They
recognize the acute wisdom voiced by
President Harding in commenting on
The need for justice to the workingman
when he said: The workman's lowest
wage must be enough for comfort.
enough to make his house home,
enough to insure that the struggle for
existence shall not crowd out the things

This demand is not extravagant. 1t
is not unreasonable. To-day I have
no doubt that the great bulk of Amer
lean industry pays what can be called
a saving wage to the larger number of
It's employees. But much remains to be
done

The quarrel between Dennis O'Brien'

ocrat, regarding who has been elected
Mayor Of Kenilworth. n. j.. had its first
bit of decisive action yesterday when
O'Brien prevailed upon the kenilworth
police force, consisting OF Patrolman AL

the council chamber. O'Brien then took
the chair and conducted the meeting of
the council.
The situation I'm Kenilworth is almost
similar to one that has developed al

and John Mahon each claims that he Is
the Chief OF Police. Donohue has been
cllief there for four years, and recently
he received a notice from William wei

and Mahon named in his place. Don

New Jersey political situation will recall
that in the Kenilworth elections Nitschke
and O'Brien each received 1876 votes
There was a recount, which showed that
O'Brien had 1877 to 1876 for Nitschlse, but
the latter took il to the Supreme Court
and one of O'Brien's votes was thrown
oGt. That made it a tie again. and there
1t stood yesterday when the Borough
Council held its first meeting of 1872.
Nitschke claimed that he was still
Mayor because no successor had been
elected, and O'Brien claimed that he was
Mayor. Both tried to preside at the
meeting, but finally O'Brien called upon

out vardalis hesltated O'Brien Of

Nitschke was literally carried from

at the request of O'Brien adopted reso-
luton creating the post OF Chief of

himself. Nitschke said last night that
