 and Sec. Hoover

Dawes and Secretary of Commerce Hoov- CT.
 Mellon Outstanding
 Hearst said Mellon is the out standing figure Of both the Hard ing and Coolidge Administration because of his record of the Treasury Department. The only objection is that he is not young and this was answered by Hearst saying that Mellon is young enough to conduct with over whelming success the most diff cult position in the whole public administration.

 Views of Hills

Sena- tors Curtis and Willis are the only publicly avowed candidates. Of course Frank O. Lowden is be- ing pressed. It is understood Representative Nicholas Long worth is not seeking the nomina- tion."

 Wage Reductions

WASHINGTON, Dec. g. In prosperity and happiness the American people so stand as 10 be subject of admiration and study the world over," Secretary Davis declared in the annual re port of the Labor Department He called for maintenance of hign wages and welfare. for control of immigration. and for modification of antitrust laws to allow the condition he described to be main tained.

The time has passed when any industry or employer who seeks to break down wage scales will be looked upon by the community as shrewd or clever in industry. It is the mutual willingness of the worker to produce and the employer to pay for production that accounts in large measure for our present prosperity. |. has crowded the home market with millions of ready consumers
