BANNER YEAR
 FORESEEN BY
 LABOR CHIEF
Forecast Is Made by Presii- dent of American Fed
 eration of Labor
By WILLIAM GREEN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Econ- omic conditions in the United States are of such stable char acter it cannot be doubted that in 1928 prosperity will be as great or greater than in 1926. For several months during 1927 there was slump, but this can be credited almost entirely to the Mississippi and other floods and slackening in the build ing and automobile industries
 There are good reasons for the belief that 1928 will be ban ner year. One of the most im- portant is that wages will be maintained by organized labor no matter what the cost. Anoth- CT is that management has been successful in eliminating to a great extent the inefficiency of past yeaY and practical economies have been brought about. Both management and labor have soughmt to eliminate waste, and they have succeeded in marvel ous way.
 High Wages
 There is very reason to be- lieve that not only will labor maintain high wages. but in many lines wage scales will be increased. There are several fac tors which are making generous contributions to this result
 In the first place, people are thinking differently They are thinking in terms of high wages and low costs of production.
 Second, the stimulating effect of the revival of the automobile industry in the manufacture of the new Ford ear will radiate in all lines of industry. It will have an effect in every community in the United States.
 Building Program
 The millions of dollars to be expended in flood control will work wonders in bringing about prosperity. The building program of the government and various States. the plans for reclamation which we hope Congress will ap. prove, also will add immeasure. ably to the prosperity of 1928. In building up our American standard of living, which is pure, ly American as compared with that of European countries. wt tcontinued on Page Eight)

Needless S 0 S Calls.

The rules OF the sea In regard to
calls for help are rigid. and this very
rightly is source of annoyance to cap
tains of liners because OF abuse. For me- nv
years following storms on the ocean
tales have come Of steamers turning far
of their courses to answer s sos calls
that never should have been made. and
the unreeulated and senseless use OF
the msrveis OF wireless has been a
matter OF concern to all who ply the
seas.
Yesterday the Csrmania of the Gu
nard Line arrived in New York after a
stormy passage and its captain added
another story of abuse of the rules to
those that had been told before. With
seas running thirty-five feet high and
with the liner hove to in order to pre-
vent the waves from wreckine the
superstructure. the Carmania's radio
picked up an SOS from a Swedish
freighter. Before turning his ship broa :
aide to the sea and risking the lives of
passengers and crew. the captain waited
for further information, having been
fooled before in his long career by
needless calls for help. Two hours later
it came: "Rudder repaired, proceeding
on our way. Pleasant voyage"
1t is naturally terrifying thing for
navigator to have his chin d;so hla.,
in heavy storm, and probably the
first impulse is to call for help, but in
view OF the many needless and harmful
80 S appeals, reform must be instituted
to the end that real emergencies should
exist before diverting ships from their
courses. II this is not done, an urgent
appeal may receive delayed action or
be disreearded altogether by a skeptical
master, with the result that another
tragedy of the sea will be written.

intelligent bits of anticipation now
making the rounds in gossip mongering
Washington Is that Andrew w. Mellon
will be Herbert Hoover's Ambassador
to the Court of St. James. Not only
has the Secretary of the Treasury the
cash and the culture to represent Uncle
Sam appropriately In London, but the
suggestion is that he would be particu-
larly useful in connection with the
Europesn american debt issue. which is
sure to bulk big in the international
picture during the next two or three
years.
