HOOVER REGIME

On PAY CUTS
Lamont and Doak Indicate
Presidents Advisers Begin
Shifting From Old Position
BY WILLIAM 8. MURPHY. JR.

BY WILLIAM G. MURPHY, JR.
Evidence is accumulating that
the Hoover Administration, re-
luctantly but surely, is abandon.
ing its announced policy of oppo-
sition to wage-cutting.
President Hoover, so far, has
refrained from any public utter.
ances which could be construed
as indicating this change in
policy, but an increasing number
Of statements from those high in
Administration circles indicate
which way the wind is blowing.
LamOnt's Letter
The first break was Commerce
Secretary Lamont's letter to
New England Representative q
few months ago condoning wage
cuts in textile mills on the ground
that it was better to do that than
to close down the mills.
Labor Secretary Doak, last Fri.
day, told a Rhode Island audi.
ence that:
"I am firmly convinced that
capital, industry and labor in
the United States are fully
capable of adjusting any prob.
lem that may arise in our eco
nOmic life."
This was just after several of
the largest corporations in the
country had announced extensive
wage cuts and there was gen.
eral expectation there would be
some expression of disapproval
forthcoming from Administration
sources.
GiffOrd's Radio Talk
The latest indication of a
weakening in the anti.wage-cut
stand came in the Sunday night
radio address of Walter S. Gift
ford, chairman of the Presidents
organization for unemployment
relief. Discussing the activities
of employers to minimize the evil
results of the depression, Mr..
Clifford said:
"A high percentage of those
gainfully employed are working
full time, either on full wages
and salaries or with reductions
no greater than the decrease
in the cost of living.
The suggestion that wage cuts
may be justified because of de-
creaSeS in the cost of living is
exactly the argument which has
been put forward by employers
who have made reductions in
their own pay rolls.
Six Months Period
Recent intimations that the
famous alleged pledge against
wage-cuting made to the Presi.
dent in 1929, was limited to a
six months period have been
brought forward during the past
few days to offset accusations
that big business has broken its
pledge to the President.
This is another question upon
which Mr.. Hoover has main
tanned silence.
However, it was recalled today
that in october 193O.-nearly a
year after the so-called pledge
was given-Mr. Hoover warned
the American Bankers Associa.
ton at Cleveland that there
must be no attempt to "deflate"
labor or lower the American
standard Of living.
