President Harding Writes
Secretary Hoover About
Unemployment Conference
SITUATION IMPROVED
President Says Improvement is so
Marked as to Remove Largely Os-
casion for Anxiety.

Washing tn, May 29.-Secretary
Herbert Hoover made public yester-
day a letter from President Harding
relative to the revival of employ
ment throughout the country and
the part the President considers
that the unemployment conference
of last autumn had in obtaining re-
lief.
Except for strikes, says the letter.
the situation has so far improved
that occasion for anxiety is largely
removed. The past winter showed
the greatest unemployment in the
history of this country, but because
of the cooperation of Federal. State
and municipal authorities with COM
mittees of employers there was
less suffering, the President saws,
than in any previous years. The
conference he declares, deserves
the credit for organizing and carry
ing out the program Of common ac-
ton.
President Harding's letter follows:
"The White House,
Washington, MAY %, 1922
"Mv Dear Mr.. Secretary:
"Now that the revival of employ
ment through the country-eXcept
for the strikes-has so greatly i'm
proved our situation that our ankle
ties in this particular are largely
removed ! wish TO extend my graft
tude to every one of the great body
of our citizens who gave such effic-
lent service in the organizations set
up and coordinated under the unem-
ployment conference Of last autumn.
The conference members and its
standing committees deserve great
credit for the successful inaugura-
tion and stimulation of the great
simultaneous movement in the COM
munity and its continuing organi2a-
ton. which has so greatly succeeded
in the mitigation Of what otherwise
would have been great suffering
ave have passed the winter of the
greatest unemployment in the his
tory of our country. Through the
fine coordination and cooperation
among Federal and State officials,
mayors and their committees Of en-
ployers, relief organizations and citi-
Zens. we have come through with
much less suffering than in previous
years, when unemployment was very
much less. SO much has this been
the case that except for the inten-
sification of public works by the
Federal. State and municipal gov
ernments the demand for all to the
unemployed from the Federal Treas
ury disappeared in the country. Only
two or three Of our larger cities fail
ed to secure cooperation to the best
advantage.
"For this inspiration, organization
and coordination of the community.
and for the forces making for COM
mon action, the unemployment con-
ference and its standing committees
deserve great credit for work quiet
" and efficiently carried out.
"In this note Of appreciation |
wish to include the Secretary Of
Labor and Col. Arthur Woods, the
director cf the work.
Yours faithfully,
"Warren G Harding" :"

First Mate Says Alexandria
Should be Large Ship
ping Center
MUNPLACE LEAVES
Mexican Hootch Plentiful But Hard
to Get" Observes Engineer-Un-
loads 1900 Tons in Alexandria.

Loaded down with birthstone, the
Munson Line steamer, Munplace ar
rived at the pier of the Alexandria
Fertilizer and Chemical Company
Friday noon. Aboard her were 23OO
tons of pure sulphur from the mines
of Texas City which will be used IN
the process of making Sulphuric acid
bv the local fertilizer factory. This
amount is only half of the full load OF
the ship the other half having been
unloaded at the wharveS of similar
plant in Wilmington, y. c.
The ship is under the command OF
Capt. J. II. Lm, of New York who IS
assisted by c. f. Flygare as first
mate, and has, as its regular run,
freight route from New York City to
Vera Cruz, Mexico. Points along the
line are furnished with New York
freight and the steamer takes on a
load of sulphur at Texas City for ITS
return cargo. 1t has a capacity Of 5000
tons.
The good old ship is equipped up
to-the- minute with the most mod
ern of everything including a power
ful wireless ontfit, an attractive din
ing room, up-to-date- en-
gines and, i'm fact, everything to make
il home-like and comfortable. The en-
gine room is the pride of the crew of
thirty-two weather beaten mariners.
The engines have a total horsepower
of 2250 and the engineer keeps them
ali shining and ready for the most
efficient of service. The captain and

reported of the Gazette so the first
mate, c. +. Flygare. and the assistant
engineer, Miller showed him over the
ship and explained the boat and its
workings. The wireless operator, Vic
tor NJ Woodward, explained the intri-
cate workings of the part of the ship
which is his pride and JOY.
The engineer, in talking of his OBJ
servationS while in Mexico, says that
the MeXicanS are as poor as ever and
all wearing guns, apparently waiting
only for leader before they jump
hcadlong into another revolution. AS
for "hootch," he says that there is
plenty in Mexico but none is - be

er 50 well is the cooperative system
working among the customs officers.
The mate tells us that the Potomac
is easily navigable for steamers the
size of his and that he sees no logical
reason why Alexandria could not be
made a great deep sea shipping point;
there are plenty of railroads to bring
the goods here and there is plenty of
room to build the piers necessary to
accommodate the ships. The river, he
says is safe for any boat and is not
much trouble to get in and out Of.
The Munplace weighed anchor to-
day at noon and by Wednesday morn
ing will be at the New York pier ready
to receive cargo for the return trip
to the south.

made "Swiss" cheese is obtaining

patch received by the Commerce De
partmnt Saturday from American
Consul Murphy, at Lucerne.
This product of American cheese

nfacturers becauce of the better
process of manufacture. 1t is said
that Switzerland's Gown" lacks uni
formity as the result of pecuiarltiess
in the fodder eaten by the cattle Of
various Swiss districts.
II is the belief of State Depart
ment officials that me contemplated
visit of Adolfo de la Huerta, Secre-
tarv of the Treasury of Mexico, is
an indication of the eventual ac-
ceptance by Mexico of the similar
conditions laid dawn by this Govern
ment for the recognition of both
Mexico and Russia
1t is assumed that Mr.. de la
Huerta will hold conference with
financiers in New York, but the
mystery maintained concerning his
visit at the Mexican Embassy, sug-
gests the possibility that he may
come to Washington before having
his conference with New York bank
erS.
Reports have been received in
Washington from Mexico City that
Indicate that the Mexican Govern
ment is prepared to make repreSen-
tations of its intention of taking
care of its foreign debt and that 1t
has already decided upon the reve-
nues to be diverted for this purpose
and will attempt to inaugurate a de-
bate among American and Foreign
creditors over it's ALLEGATION.
The State Department will not
seek any official information con-
cerning the purpose of Mr.. de la
Huerta's visit to New York, but,
the Department does not believe
that he has knowledge of the fact
that the bankers of the country will
not ask American investors to risk
their money where Governmental
conditions ar not approved as guar
auteeing the safety of investments.
Under the circumstances, the officials
of the State Department hope for
an understanding with Mexico, based
on the approaching de la Huerta
visit, which they believe is not an
idle mission.
According to reports made to the
Commerce Department today it
would seem that Haiti is not suffer
ing from high cost of living, at
least so far as fruits are concerned.
There seems to be a prevalence of
delicious fruit on the markets of that
country with few takers.

ATTACKS OPEN SHOP
President of Labor Federation De-
clares Unions Have Gained Strength
Despite Assaults Upon Them.

Washington, May 29.-The present
Congress was characterized as 'un-
usually reactionary" and that the
coming election would result IN
many changes by Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Fedration
of Labor, Yesterday.
The Characterization and predic-
ton were given in a statement on
the annual convention of the fede-
ration to be held in Cincinnati June
~. In addition to rapping Congress,
Mr. Gompers pays his respects TO
proponents of the open shop move
ment. whom he charges with con-
Quoting propaganda of nature "vic-
ious and vigorous in the extreme.
In his comments on Congress, Mr..
Gompers said: Labor looks with
great hope to the coming primary
elections and to the general election
this fall An unusually reactionary
Congress is now in session. but there
are excellent indications that people
will at the first opportunity make
changes which will interfere serious
~ with the program of those who
most desire a reactionary legislative
record"
Going into the labor movement
generally, the labor leader declared:
1--WE have gone through a year Of
great difficulty. Those who may
have expected. however. that the in
dustrial depression, severe as it was,
would result in weakening the or
ganized labor movement have mis-
calculated. Our movement not only
has not been weakened but it is even
stronger today than ever.
Composition has rsulted in unity
ing the forces Of the workers; it has
created in them more militant
spirit The movement for the So
called open shop in its various dis
guises and the proDaganda for that
movement, which has been vicious
and vigorous in the extreme. has
brought to all the workers great
er realization of the paramount ne
cessitv for solidarity and unity Of
thought and action.
I'VE have knowL from the outset
that the anti-union movement could
not succeed, because il was founded
on principles that defied all sound
laws and economies. And now, in
view of the remarkable and note
worthy solidarity in the ranks of
the workers. we are doublv sure that
the country will not much longer be
called upon to contend with that es-
sentially selfish ami short-sighted
effort on the part of certain groups
of employers
