PROSPERITY
I||SCERNED
At ROOT
Of IDEA

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. % Q.N.S).
Predicting shorter day with higher
wages in American industry, secres
tary of Labor James J. Davis, ad.
dressing the American Federation
OF Labor here today. declared the
long day and week principle Is
already stdead as dodo," although
there are a few sections or the
country not yet in step.
Davis opposed reducing wages TO
prewar levels, and said prosperity
Is never promoted by wage cuts.
"Prosperity, he said, is only
created and enlarged by liberal
wage. and for the simplest reason.
"The millions of workers are the
greatest buyers in our markets, and
4 liberal wage equips them with a
buying power that makes business
by the simple means of creating q
bigger market.
A Cardinal Principle
Davis said that 1t was his firm
conviction that the business leaders
of the country "wiIl soon link the
shorter day with the higher wage
as a cardinal principle of pros
perity.
American industry today and
tomorrow faces some serious prob
lerns," he added. 1T is plain to
every person interested in the we'll
being of the country, whether he be
employer or employee, that we can
never reach the peak of prosperity
unless every single industry can
dispose of it's product at profit
that yields satisfactory return to
its owners and a proper wage to
its workers"
AT the present time, he said, there
are a number of industries that are
in an unstable condition. He re-
ferred particularly to the textile
industry.
1T has not kept pace with the on.
ward march of many Of our great
divisions of business" he said. "It
is true that the textile industry has
had to contend with problems not
easily forseen or controlled. Substi-
tutes. changing styles, over-develop-
ment, and many other disturbing
factors have sadly cut into the
health of this once great staple of
New England business prosperity.
In lesser degree the shoe industry
has been troubled by too much ca.
pacity to produce that which we now
consume, with consequent unsettle-
ment in many sections
Hopes for Coal
Referring to the soft coal situa.
ton, Davis said that the war stirred
that industry to unusual activity,
"and SO has brought about an
other example of unrest and utter
disorganization When the war de-
nands had been filled the country
had potential production that was.
nearly double the commercial,
household and transportation de-
mands of peace.
THE result has been numerous
wage cuts, unemployed, and all the
other ailments that follow in the
wake of over-production and fierce
competition" he said
Davis expressed the hope that the
soft coal industry might "be saved
from within itself and put in
step with the onward march of
American industry in general"
He said that he was satisfied that
NalI the ills of coal could. and will
be, adjusted around the council
table of the industry, as we arc
learning to do in nearly every
other American industry"

the progress Of the colored people under

DR.. Hawkins speech was attentively

vigorously applauded. He said:

But the goal of our ambitions has

there Is more beyond our resources that

the worship of truth, liberty and JUS

who shall 1t be, and out of what mold
shall he come?
"As / stand here facing this grave

feeling akin to that OF spiritual Wis

the spirit of an immortal patriot, the

people and for the people shall not

And come out OF this reverie and
say that the demands of the time, the
call Of the hour is that we name a man
who can fit into this mold and can in
terpret the spirit of the immortal Lin
coin. and be our present liberator.
I'VE want a man who Is big enough
to stand four footed on the platform

man who is capable and willing to prop

pendence and who is brave enough to
see to 1t that our fiag--this American
emblem--is nailed at the top Of our
masthead and never hauled down by
hand Of an enemy
We want man who will not only
swear to uphold the Constitution Of the
United States, but who will rightly In
