c. OF c. DELEGATES
ATTEND MEETING
AT CONGRESS- HOTEL

Charles NJ. Stahl, Secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, returned
Tuesday evening from Chicago where
he attended meeting of the north
central division of the United States
Chamber of Commerce.
accompanying Mr.. Stahl were Isaac
kuhn and Professor Gordon Watkins,
Il. l: Seoull and A. c. Littleton, of
The University. Prominent speakers
attending the convention were Former
Governor Frank o. Lowden, Julius II.
Barnes, president of the United States
1Shamber of Commerce, President
Markham Of the Illinois Central rail-
road and others of equal prominence.
ohe OF the leading questions under
discussion, said a committeeman, was
he immigration question upon which
prominent members of the chamber
disagreed.
Prominent business men who are
known advocates of the open shop
favored letting down the bars to i'm
migration. Graham Taylor, of the
Oheago Commons, was not of this
number. Taylor spoke on the humani-
"i'ah SIDE oil the question and insist
ea on proper care of the immigrants

according to members of the delega-

annual reports of federal officials
and commissions call attention to the
workers increased purchasing power,
through high wages. 1t is acknowl-
edged that this purchasing power is
one OF the major factors in the nations
prosperity.
The federal reserve board in its an
nual report, says:
"A national income larger than in 1922, arising
ooth out of increased earnings Of factory workers
and larger proceeds from the sale Of farm products
furnished the buying power 10 absorb the years
increase output of goods"
In other words, but for high wages in
factory, mine and transportation, and
larger proceeds from the sale of farm
products the years increased output
of goods would not be sold, and factor
les would close because of an over
stocked market.
To organized labor this is an old the
ory. Times without number the work
erS have insisted that if their buying
capacity is curtailed, less consumption
follows.
Less consumption means lowering
of living standards, no schooling for
the children and a reorganization of
the home because every member must
become wage Garner.
These propositions are so easily un-
derstood and so vital to the country's
welfare that they should become ma
tional dogmas. Every wage reducer
should be held up to public scorn.
Cheap man-power destroys the pros
perity that employers are constantly
striving to develop.
Cheap production is possible through
labor-saving devices, skilled manage
ment and the application of science, but
cheap labor Is of no benefit to either
employer or to the country. This labor
neither produces nor consumes. :
