LABOR AND owners
GET ALONG BETTER
Sec. Davis Makes Report on
Past Year

Washington. Dec. Rl-Imnroye
ment OF relations between employers
ana workers. with an absence OF I'M
employment and a dimunition In
strikes, was declared today In the
annual report of Secretary OF Labor
Davis to have been an outstanding
feature of the past year In indus
try.
With the pressure of major indus
trial emergency removed, he said tho
department had been able TO give
constructive thought to the improve
ment of Its work In controlling I'M
migration, aiding labor, and promot-
ing the public welfare.
Mr.. Davis sketched possible line
of future attack on the problem OF
over-production In industry, which
he held responsible for much part
time and seasonal employment OF
workers. No mention of the anthra-
cite suspension was made in the re-
port, which covered the fiscal year
ending with last June.
Over Developed
zone OF the great elements OF the
problem OF unemployment Is the
present over developed state of some
of our larger industries" he said.
Our productive machinery and
equipment in many of these indus
tries cannot run 500 days per year
without producing a stock that can
Dr., hi ~
country. AS an illustration, the
census lists 1870 boot and shoe fac
tories: Of these 227 or IA 1-3 per
cent, produce IS per cent of all
shoes produced, and II they should
run full time, they would produce 95
per cent Of all shoes now produced
and sold. In other words, IA IL
per cent of the factories, employing
60.4 per cent OF the workers, could
with steady work for 900 days a
year produce all the boots and shoes
we need.
Take the -four mill industry as
another example. Here We have
perhaps the worst situation Of all;
IS per cent of the plants, employ
ing AZ per cent of the whole num-
her Of workers engaged In the indus
try, produce g. per cent of the out
put, while IS per cent Of the es-
adjustments produce but - per
cent.
Soft Coal Industry
TAKE another situation. that of
luminous coal. There are S3S
shipping mines in the state Of ILL
nois. These operated an average of
1919 days In n year. Had 81 of these
%3S mines operated 900 days. they
could have produced 100000 tons
more in one year than all Of them
produced in 1924.
Go down the line and in nearly
every industry YOU will find the
same appalling state Of affairs. But
it is no use to consider the disease
unless we make some attempt to
discover the remedy. A generation
ago our people were frightened by
the term combination or trust
Most Of the protest that went up
against these new combinations
came from the very people engaged
IL supertluous industry. Now we see
the fact more clearly. The combin-

alton tends to wipe out over-devel-
opment and the wasteful unproduc-
| tive.
i do not advocate a movement to-
ward monopoly or trusts such as
we're conceived In the minds OF pro-
testants a few years ago; not a sim
gle control or factory In each indus
try, but a cutting down OF the num-
Der TO the point where each estab-
lishment upon competitive basis
could operate at least approximately
30 weeks In each year.
Coal Is Big Problem
What is needed Is some system
that will keep going only the coal
mines and the manufacturing plants
needed to produce what we need and
can sell, and needed to keep an ade-
quate number of workers employed
for 800 days In the year, while the
unnecessary mines and plants can
be closed or held In reserve. We
need some syste II for scattering I'M
needed workers In any industry
where they are really needed In In
dustry yet TO be developed, II this
cannot be permitted under the exist
ing laws, then there must be a way
OF modifying them so as TO permit
IT without mourning any other more
serious consequence"
The secretary repeated his rec
concentrations for legislation to per-
NIT examination abroad of all i'm
migrants, upon the system now op-
Grating In England and Ireland. He
asked likewise for more liberal terms
OF retirement on pension to govern
ment employees, and for the con-
struction OF building to house the
labor department.
AS TO general immigration policy.
he repeated recommendations for
the establish. { quotas affecting
immigrants from countries on the
American continents, and for en-
rollment In the United States of
aliens.
Heads Of bureaus in the labor de-
partment reported directly upon the
particular work under their 1urisdic-
ton. Hugh T.. Kerwin. director of
conciliation, said that during the
year federal representatives had
COPIED with industrial disputes in
volving an aggregate Of $4,000
workers, and had been successful in
aiding settlement In large portion.
Employment Service
The United States employment
service reported actually placing in
employment during the fiscal year
1925 1,6h9,a77 workers.
For the immigration service.
Commissioner General Hull gave the
total Of aliens admitted TO the Unit
cd States for the year as 45S,4%5.
The usual tourist and business travel
accounting for large numbers. but
admitted numbered 294.
314. A total Of 25,390 persons seek
ing TO enter were rejected as mad
missablc.
Additional patrol establishme
on borders, Mr.. Hull said. had bet
tered the work of the bureau. but he
asked for an increased force to cope
with alien smuggling.
RAYMOND +, CT list. chief Of the
Naturalization bureau. said there
were 277,21S declarations of inten-
ton to become citizens by aliens
during the year, and 1G2.oo5S petit
tons for final naturalization. OF
this last total, 1858 petitions were
denied, Chiefly on grounds of bad
character and insufficient length Of
residence.
Mr.. Hull noted that desortons Of
seamcn from foreign ships at United
States ports were on the increase,
