workers participated in demonstra-

er, and now % workers, including a

WASHINGTON, Nov. 81.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 81. -
The fascist agreement given out
today by Hoover between the
finance capitalists, industrial
bosses and the A. F. of l.. lead
ers, as result of the crisis con-
ferences is as follows:
"The President was authorized
by the employers who were pres
ent at this mornings conference
to state on their individual be-
half that they will not initiate
any movement for wage reduc-
tiOn, and it was their strong
recommendation that this attitude
should be pursued by the country
as a whole. They considered that
aside from the human considera-
tiOns involved, the consuming
power of the country will there
by be maintained.
"Thc President was also au-
thorized by the representatives
OF labor to state that in their in
dividual views and as their
strong recommendation to the
country as a whole, that no
movements beyond those already
in negotiation should be initiated
for increase of wages, and that
every cooperation should be
given by labor to industry in the
handling of its problems.
The purpose of these declara-
tions is to give assurance that
conflicts should not oc -ur during
the present situation which will
affect the continuity of work,
and thus maintain stability of
| employment"

BULLETIN.

Over production is the basic
cause of the present depression
said the capitalist bosses who met
with Hoover.
The crash in the stock market
is only an incident to a long
brewing rupture in the economic
structure of American capitalism,
was the gist of the reports which
seeped out of the deliberations.
That national wage-slashing
campaign was discussed at the
meeting is proved by Henry Fords
statement on wages issued at the
close Qf the conference. While
talking high wages, Ford is shut
ting down entire plants.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-
Hoover met with big group of
labor takers this afternoon to give
them their roles in helping the big
bosses in trying to smash mass re-
sistence on the part of the workers to
