Boot and Shoe Conditions.
"One of the great elements of the
problem of unemployment is the pres
ent overdeveloped state of some OF
our larger industries" he said. "Our

in many of these industries cannot
run 800 days per year without pro

Soft Coal Fields.

no use to consider the disease unless
we make some attempt to discover
the remedy. A generation ago our
people We're frightened by the term

protest that went up against these
new combinations came from the very

What is needed is some system

DAVIS URGES RAISE
IN RETIREMENT PAY
Secretary of Labor's Annual
Report Also Stressed Need
of New Building.

Need for the passage of liberallzed
retirement law and the urgency of a
new building to house the Depart.
ment OF Labor are brought to the at.
tention of Congress by Secretary of
Labor Davis in his annual report to-
day. The report deals with improve
ment of relations between employers
and workers, and points to an alb.
sence Of unemployment and a diminu-
ton in strikes as the outstanding fea-
lures of the year in industry. With
the pressure of major industrial
emergencies relieved. Mr.. Davis said
the department has been able to give
constructive thought to the improve
ment of its work in controlling immi-
grafton, aiding labor and prompting
the public welfare
Since the report was written a
project has been launched and is
ready to be indorsed by the Public
buildings Commission to house the
Labor Department in the Interior
Building. Mr.. Davis, urging the need
OF a new building. calls attention to
The report of the commission of De

owned building for the department on
the site bounded by Fourteenth and
Fifteenth and e and y streets. THE
site is owned by the Government" he
said, but il will he necessary for
Congress to appropriate funds with
which to erect the building. 1t will
require 125,0O0 square feet of office
space in order to adeGuat ely house
the department in one building at the
present time. The building planned
by the commission would comprise a
net floor space of 1861 square feet,
or not more than sufficient to take
care of the natural growth of the
department" by June 80, 1927. when
the present lease expires.
Retirement Pay Inadequate.
Turning TO the retirement law. Mr..
Davis declared that the present law.
which allows a maximum of only $50
Il month TO those who reach the age
Of 20 years and have served 80 years
in the service, is agreed to be en-
tirely inadequate.
The amount is not sufficient to pay
for the bare necessities of life for a
man and his wife. even though he
have no other dependents. The sal
IrieS paid 70 Government workers are
put anything away Tor the proverbial
rainy day, ana when they have given
the best wears of their life to the Gov
Crnment it is unfair TO cast them out
on such a pittance. The Government
has not vet been called upon to con
tribute a nickel to the retirement
fund, and the amount subtracted
from the wages Of the employees
monthly will he sufficient to pay an

that the amended bill for retirement
that failed to pass the last session.
Of Congress should be r"iNtru6uc"d
and enacted, with the provision for
voluntary retirement after 50 years
of service for those who have reached
the age of so years, and should pro-
vide for IN annuity IF 500 n month. -

of future attack on the problem of
uverpruJucrion in industry. which he
held responsible for much part-ume
