FRENCH ATTITUDE TOWARD
CONFERENCE IS CHANGING

Paris, April 4.-(By Associated
Press. THE French attitude to-
ward the Genoa economic confer
ence has undergone great change
In the last 4S hours, the GOODNESS
and the skepticism previously
shown in official circles having
given way to the sentiment that
something must come out of the
conference and that the French
delegation must go to work whole
heartedly to that end.
Premier Poincare has decided
TO go himself as soon as official
duties permit.
The subject which 1t is now
generally agreed must be dis
sussed at Genoa are the recon-
struction of Europe and Russia in
particular; the stabilization of ex-
change; the breaking down of
exceptional barriers to trade due
TO special customs regulations and
constructions to transportation;
and an international credits con-
sortium for reconstruction.

Demands Outlined

Washington, April 4.-Miners ,
demand for a six hour day and
five day week-issues involved in
the national coal strike-were
described by John l.. Lewis, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers
of America in continuing his testi-
mony today before house COM
mittee, as largely a move to force
regularity of employment.
Men employed by the day. he
said, would receive the same
wages they are now getting and
put in less time, but the miners
who dig coal would be paid as
they are now for the number of
tons of coal they produce.
Representative Black, democrat,
Texas, calculated that II the five
day, six hour demand was granted,
f'the public would pay $244,000.-
900 additional for the same
amount of coal they are now get
ting each year."
"Who will that come out OFF,
Mr.. Black demanded.
Says Figures Absurd
Nobody" Mr.. Lewis retorted,
"because your figures are absurd.
I can't follow your mental gyra-
tions on this subject In the field Of
mathematics. -
Mr.. Black pressed his calcula-
tions.
"Congressmen, when the IL
hour day was changed to the ten
hour day." Mr.. Lewis interrupted,
"the efficiency was increased and
the production per man per day in
creased. The same effect con-
tinued when the ten hour day was
cut to eight hours. The efficiency
increased more than sufficient to
make up the loss. The fact has
been authoritatively determined
and universally recognized.
Average Wage $3.50
Mr.. Black advanced the sugges-
tion that considering the present
level of prices, mine wage scales
were far above 1918 in their buy
ing power.
Gwen If that is SO, Mr.. Lewis
replied, "the miners have never
accepted the principle that wage
increases should be tied down to
the bare cost of living. That
theory would chain workers to a
fixed economical level for al
ways"
Miners day wages in 1913, Mr.
Lewis estimated at $2.04, while
the t'basic wage day" under pres
ent conditions was placed at $3.50.

Of a small minority in the con-

Grafton Of Construction Industries.
The secretary said that during

ment of commerce had given In
tensive study TO the situation In
the construction industry and he
made the comment: This situa-
ton must be cleaned up"
Conclusions reached by the de-

as follows:
Industry Needs Cleaning"
THAT the industry needs clean
ing and the decent men in the in
dustry must organize to 1t; that
the great indirect wastes which
are beyond the control of any one
individual man or concern mus
be eliminated by association ac
ton and that to accomplish thes'
ends there is need of cleane
organization of the trades, not tn
destruction of the trades organIza
tion.
"In the matter of business an,
labor practices of the minority,
said Mr.. Hoover. II need not re
cite the repeated exposures in al
directions that have sickened tn
public during the past IL months
There are other things that hav
not yet been exposed. I have n
taste for demagogic statements.
do have aspiration for construc
tive remedies.
