We Must Readjust
To Law Economics
Warning Sec. Davis

Wellesley, Mass, Sept. 2S-(AP)-
Over development is the greatest
national problem said Secretary Of
Labor James j. Davis in an address
at the National Business Conference
at Babson Park today. TT is the
greatest source of financial failure
he said, "the greatest source of I'M
employment. = 1t may be that our
laws as they stand are a seeming
barrier to any remedy. II that Is so,
then all can say is that something
is wrong with the laws. 1t means
that our human laws must readjust
themselves to the law of economies"
He added that reducing wages
was 1.-THE most short sighted act
business man can perform" He held
up the federal government as IAN
example of how business should be
rum"
President Coolidge is determined
to have a business-like administra-
ton of public affairs and he is get
ting it."
Secretary Davis commented on the
effect which changing styles in wom-
ems dress had produced on the tex
tile industry.
Had the textile industry had the
right sort of research and informa-
ton bureau As years ago, these
changes might have been foreseen,"
he said, land warning could have
been given to prepare for them AS
the demand for cotton goods fell off
and feminine taste turned to silk. the
manufacture of silk might have been
developed. The industry would have
kept step with its market. But 1 am
reliably informed that money was not
expended in this direction"
Citing the boot and shoe Industry
as an instance of over production he
said:
The last sensus gives us 1870 fac
tories making boots and shoes. OF
these, 227 factories produce 65.6 per
cent of all the shoes produced. If.
these 227 factories We're run full time
they could produce 95 percent ofNau
the shoes now made and sold. These
227 factories employ 60 per cent of
our shoe workers. This means that
the workers in all the other factories
simply get in the way of all shoe
workers in getting full years en-
pioyment. From labor point of
view they prevent anyone in the shoe
industry from earning a decent liy
ing"
He said that the combination IN
industry tends to wipe out over de-
velopment"
But growing out of the earlier
Misconceptions he added, "a law

able to find their way about. Their
orders were to enter the battery room
and work forward and aft.
The sea was still somewhat choppy

the two men, Harry Reinharther and
William Reid faced.
Officers at submarine base waited
eagerly for the reports of the inves-

Coburn Opens with
Colby Scrubs Friday

(SpeClaI TO heHuepeC JouiAdij
Waterville, Sept. 2S.-The Coburn
football team will get down to real
work for the next few days in pre-
paration for the seasons opening
game with Colby second on Libbey
field Friday afternoon.
Scrimmage was held yesterday af-
ternoon and this will continue until
Thursday when the team will be al
lowed to take things easy.
AS yet the lineup for the game
has not been decided upon and 1T is
expected that the scrimmage work
will give Coach Haines chance to
study the men and select a team
which will give the Colby aggrega-
ton a run for it's money.
The Coburn team will probably be
out-weighed considerably and the
rooters for the school are looking to
the teams scrapping qualities to
make up for this handicap.

Skeptical Paddy Mullins, the

is wearing a broad grin.
THE men back of this show are
above reproach," he said, land at
last the fight has the looks OF being
the real thing"

Rockne staged a special scrimmage
between picked Notre Dame football
teams for the champions benefit.
Dempsey tonight went to Benton
Harbor, Mich, where he said he had
a little business to attend to, but

night. His business manager, ROD
Roy Benton, filed radio broadcast
ing engagement which Dempsey was
unable to keep due to his departure
for Benton Harbor.
Wills, who was at home during the
negotiations, was entertained tonight
at banquet.
Weisberg said that the major fac
tors incident to an agreement had
been decided upon and that neither he
nor the other conferees could see any
obstacles which might block con-
summation of the arrangements.
Neither Fitzsimmons nor Weisberg
had anything to say regarding the
definite place or date of the proposed
match.

Telephone Company Lays
Cable Under River Here

The Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-

week laying a cable across the POGO
moke river to connect with the new
line of wiring lately run parallel to
the stone road traversing the swamp
between the bridge and the high land
of Somerset.
1t is also understood that arrange
ments are being made to improve the
wiring on Front street which will do
away with the mass Of lines now seen
there. Cables will be run to inclose
those now in view, and the change will
not only make appearances better,
but will remove distractions in case
of fire.
