INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 2.-Whether
the state will purchase cement at an
increased price this year for1its 1925

discussion at the annual conference OF
governors to be held in Washington
early in December Pointing out that
with the bids almost identical, from

attention of the governors at their an

Help in Chaos
tBy Associated Press1


LONDON, Nov. Prime Minister
Bonar Law in an address to a meet
ing of women in the Drury Lane thea
tre this afternoon reiterated that his
policy was one of tranquility and
stability.
As regards foreign policy he add
ed, 4 venture to express the hope that
America may gradually take an inter
est IN the League of Nations In some
form or other, and may gradually feel
it is her duty to help in the chaos in
which the war has left the world"
Our relations with France must be
the keynote of our foreign policy the
prime minister declared. "As to the
position in the Near East what hope
for from the conference is that there
may be a settlement which win give
peace in that part of the world and
which will enable us to bring our
troops back and cease spending money
In those regions"
Must Cut Expenses.
"As to the home policy" continued
Mr.. Bonar Law, -the most important
thing is to cut down expenditures.
Without that there can be no reduc-
ton in taxes. We must maintain our
naval position the prime minister de
| clared later, @and we must retain
forces adequate for the security of the
empire.
~The strength of this country. said
Mr.. Bonar Law. depends as much on
its financial and industrial position as
| it does on its arms and in weighing
the danger we must take the one into
consideration as well as the other"
| The prime minister epitomized his
policy in the declaration: Il repeat
that is one of negotiation. There are
times when it is good to sit still and
go slow" Mr.. Bonar Law announced
that he had received friendly mes
sage from the head of the Italian gov
ernment and he added he had replied
on behalf of England. reciprocating
that friendly interest.
Real Cause OF Change
Mr.. Bonar Law said Lord Balfour
had asserted that the coalition had
been once destroyed, that was not a
true picture of the situation, however.
1.-THE real cause Of the change" he
added is that the people of this coun-
try everywhere felt that under Mr..
Lloyd Georges rule, we don't know
1 WueT0 we are lOQdy anu cduuOL tell
where we will be tomorrow.
THE former prime minister is a ma.
of tremendous energy and surprising
vitality. Whenever any big question
or emergency arose he undertook to
deal with it. That is not my idea of
fulfilling these important functions
Ny idea is that of a man at the head
of big business who allows the work
to be done by others and give general
supervision. That is the change we
mean to make"
Il think it is great mistake to sup
osse that the new and younger man
in the government will not do the work
with equal efficiency"

HOOPER FLAYS FORD,

FOR RAILROAD VIEWS
By United Press)

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Referring to
Edsel Ford and 'chis papa" as author
tiles on railroad deficit" Chairman
Ben Hooper bitterly arraigned @the
new triumvirate Of the Irving wage"
IN statement issued here.
The statement was a reply to- critic
ism of the labor board for its recent
decision which classified the living
wage" as a basis for fixing the salaries
of railroad men as a dream
Hooper named Ford, Gompers and
Hearst as the members of the new
triumvirate backing the theory of the
living wage.
Hooper declared that the new tri-
,umvirate" had been virulent in it's
criticism of the majority members OF
the board for their refusal to adopt
the theory of the living wage" and
lavish in its approval of A. o. Whar-
ton, dissenting member of the board
The majority opinion stated that if
the theory was put into practice every
railroad in the country would be
wrecked.
Refers to Ford Road
Edsel Ford was quoted as saying
that application of the theory would
only cause deficit 'for while"
Hooper referred bitterly to Henry
Ford's Detroit, Toledo and Ironton
railroad.
"Edsell Ford should speak of rail-
road deficits as one having authority"
he said. A few months ago his papa
bought a little road The road is now
piling up deficits despite contrary re
| ports"
Hooper declared that Compers' op.
position to the labor board was sincere
and perfectly understandable"
Claims Expediency
THE attitude of the Hearst Syndi-
cate of papers is not quite so clear, :"
he said. Their advocacy OF the re-
! Taxation of restrictions against foreign
| immigration cannot be construed as
friendly to high wages for common lab
or. The position of this syndicate
bears many of the earmarks of politi-
cal expediency and this is an unsafe
foundation for an economic policy"
Hooper then came 10 the defense of
the boards decision.
THE board in its action on this
question has not only served the best
interests of the country in general but
has saved labor from the folly Of SOM
of those who posed as its friends
