No man should be deprived of his

employers and organized workers in
the sheet and tin plate industry gave
big boost to the principle of main
tanning wage scales in signing a new
agreement at a recent conference in
Atlantic City. No wage reductions
were incorporated in the agreement
between the Western Sheet and Tin
Plate Manufacturers Association and
the Amalgamated Association of Iron
Steel and Tin Workers. Basic sliding
scales on which tonnage rate are
based were left unchanged.
A joint statement issued here by
the conferees said that 'in refusing
to incorporate wage reduction in the
new contract, both the manufacturers
and the labor union feel that they are
but agreeing with the dictum of Presi-
dent Hoover that wage slashes at
this time will retard seriously the
restoration of normal conditions"
The matter of introducing a six

left optional with the manufacturers

President Mara pointed to the stat
ed purpose of the present tariff act,
'To protect American labor" and de-
clared that the present duty does not
equalize the difference in domestic

ployed in agricultural pursuits, has

that this duty does not equalize the

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-In the
face of the announcement by Presi-
dent Hoover and his cabinet that they
have found many favorable factors"
in the present business situation and
following up labor's declaration of
war on wage cutting, President Will
liam Green, of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, warned this week that
the nation must begin planning at
once if widespread suffering is to be
prevented. But President Green re-
ported slight gains in trade union en-
ployment which, however, he said,
have been so small as to leave the
unemployment problem almost as Sc
rious as at the first of the year.
Urging the taking of prompt steps
to forestall suffering, recommending
four measures of relief and taking
another shot at wage cutting, Nh.
Green said:
"We must begin planning at once
if we are to prevent widespread suf-
fering. Before all else is the prob
lem of security. Workers want to
know that they can count on a job
Without taking undue risk, most en-
ployers could unquestionably guaran-
tee work to a certain portion of their
work force. Practically every en-
ployer can estimate the number of
men he will need for a minimum
force even in dull seasons. A guaran-
tee of employment to even portion
of the country's work forces would
help business revival enormously and
bring relief from anxiety to thou
ands of workers families. At pres
ent workers are holding all they can
in reserve for fear of losing their
jobs. They cannot do otherwise for
they cannot see ahead. The funds
/ they reserve amount to billions of dol
lars. If they were sure of their jobs
the release of these funds would be
an immense stimulus to business.
