Washington Orga nizatlon Addresses Resolution
 to Congress

TACOMA, Nov. 19.-Alaska and Washington State private and com mercial interests were contemplat- ing today the resolution passed here recently by the Washington Fed eration of Commercial Organiza- ticns, and which strongly advocated immediate installation of regular air mail route between Puget Sound ports and Alaskan cities.
 The memorial, which pointed out clearly the many advantages to be obtained from the inauguration of the route, was sent to the proper officers of the Post Office Depart ment at Washington, D. C.; to the members of the Washington State Congressional delegation, and to the Delegate to Congress from AL aska.
 A salient point of the arguments presented in the resolution was the comparison of time between the boat service now supplying coastal and interior Alaska, and the pro- posed mail planes.
 Between Seattle and Tacoma and Juneau the airplane would take five to six hours as compared to three days for the boat. Nine days is taken from Puget Sound to Fairbanks by steamer and rail, as compared to ten to twelve hours by airplane; and about eleven days by steamer to Nome as compared to sixteen to eighteen hours by airplane.
 Time is big factor, the memor- ial said, in development of terri tory and trade The faster trans portation of mails would, it was indicated, reflect in more rapid de- velopment of Alaska and a big saving in dollars and greatly facili- tate the transaction of business be- tween the State of Washington and Alaska; the banking clearance also would be reduced in time on an average of 75 per cent.

FORMER FATAL SECRETARY OF
 STATE IS DEAD
Pietro Cardinal Gasparri Passes Away in Rome,
 Result Pneumonia

ROME, Nov. 19.-Pietro Cardinal Gasparri, former Papal Secretary of State, died Sunday, as the result of pneumonia He was 82 years old.
 Besides his great work in behalf of the Roman Catholic Church, Pietro Cardinal Gasparri was noted for his efforts in the cause of universal peace--in the church and among the nations of the world
 Immediately upon assuming his duties as Papal Secretary of State in 1914, little more than two months after the outbreak of the World War he joined with the late Pope Benedict XIV in an attempt to terminate the conflict.
 Foreseeing the great slaughter of humans and the devastation of property with so many nations in volyed in the war, Cardinal Gas parri, with the approval of the Holy Father, carried on diplomatic negotiations with the various gov ernments, but to no avail. The failure of the Vatican's move and the prolongation of the war caused the Pontiff such grief that it was ascribed as an indirect cause of his death in 1922.
 Fer Permanent Peace
 With the elevation of Plus XI to the Papal throne and the contin- uation of Cardinal Gasparri as Secretary of State, the latter in- spired and directed new active policy of the Catholic Church, throwing the full force of the church into the effort to establish permanent peace. The Pope was in full accord and sympathy with the move.
 Even power among the pro- ponents of reconciliation between the Vatican and France, the Cardi- nal worked diligently to bring about that result even before attaining to the secretarship. Once in that of flee he exerted all the authority of it in behalf of that concord and finally, with France once more represented at the Holy See, he turned his attention toward the task of renewing friendly relations between the church and the Italian Government.

Business, Administration
 Unite for Great Effort
 to Bring About Recorery
Labor Looks on Skeptically Three Parties Con-
 cerned Issue Statements

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. Busi- ness and the Administration were definitely united last Saturday night in a mighty effort to produce re- covery while labor looked on and skeptically wondered.
 After consulting with Donald R. Richberg, Recovery Coordinator, and James A. Moffett, head of the Housing Administration, Henry |. Hartman, President of the Cham Der of Commerce of the United States, asserted that for the first time since depression began, busi- ness is rarin' to go"
 Greens Views
 Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Americ Federation of Labor, William Green. President. pondered on the meaning of the new alignment and termed it a complete about face on the part of big business He reserved his opinion as to what the alignment pointed to.
 Officials of the Chamber of Com merce of the United States said Labor is welcome to cooperate.
 Green asserted there has mot been an opportunity for cooperation because the Chamber assumes such Labor"
 It became apparent, however, that an antagonistic attitude toward while business leaders are reluctant to exclude Labor definitely from the partnership, they see little pos sibility for effective cooperation by reason of the fact the objectives of the two groups are almost in direct opposition. Foremost among the issues involved is Labor's in- sistence on a 30-hour week, made mandatory by statute.
 The Chamber of Commerce of the United States and other busi- ness organizations are ready to fight such legislation to. the end,
 Richberg said: T always said it is up to business to do this recovery job. Business has to or ganize itself and my theme song has been that the Government would not do so much organization if that were the case"

PROFITLESS PROSPERITY

Here are some facts for everybody to
consider because they underlie the future
earning power and employment foundation
of the United States:
Marshall Field & Co., Chicago, second
largest store i'm the world, sold $45, 200, 900
worth of drygoods and commodities in the
first six months of 1884. That was a $10,-
900, 600 increase over the first half of
1888 But it lost nearly $4,000, 900 on the
turnover. The president of the company
told his stockholders: "Our sales failed
to increase to the extent necessary to cover
the increased burden put on us by NRA and
other national and local governmental
agencies. During the second quarter our
payroll was 81 ,088,000 more than year
ago and our taxes were $626,0O0 more"
Consolidated Gas Company of New
York one of the outstanding public utli-
ties in the world, had gross revenues of
$50, 100000 for the second quarter, prac-
tically the same as for year ago. But
profits per share of common stock dropped
from 80 cents to Al cents. The drop was
caused wholly by the rise in the cost of do
ing business For the first half of CHS
year taxes and operating expenses were up
1913 per cent from last year. For the June
quarter they were up IA per cent. "'4
General Motors quarterly report
showed its three months sales at $685.
100000, an increase of no less than $780,
100000 but wages and materials jumped
even faster so that its three months pro-
fit was actually $1,000,000 less than the
same period in 1888.
Along with talk about new ways of
taxing industry soaking the investor and
cutting the rates Of public service com
panies and railroads, it is well to bear in
mind that the rank and file of United
States citizens depend upon industries for
their jobs and they also depend upon them
to make earnings on savings which they
have invested in them.
We simply cut our own throat when
we cut the throat of industry with destruc-
tive legislation and taxation, and destroy
its lifeblood Of earnings.

LABOR DAY

Labor Day this year, on September 8,
comes at time of great unrest among the
nations workers, and in the midst of a
serious strike situation that shows little
sign of improvement. More strikes have
occurred during the last six months than
in any similar period in several years.
Many strikes have been settled, but others
have developed to keep strike unemploy-
ment at a high level.
Most Of the labor difficulties of the
year have arisen over union recognition, or
disputes respecting collective bargaining
Endless controversy has conferred about in
terpretations of the ambiguous section Ia
of the National Industrial Recovery Act,
which is likely to cause continued con-
fusion until it has been definitely clarified.
In the main the operation of the MIRA
has been highly advantageous to labor,
through increased wages and shortening
of the working day. But, unfortunately, in
some instances the more radical element
of the workers has taken advantage of the
favorable aspects of the law to make de-
out justification.
Without presuming to pass upon the
merits of any particular contention of
workerssort employers, it may be said that
national recovery is being seriously re-
tafded by the strike situation. 81
Unless all concerned show DISPOSE
ton to be reasonable and seek peaceful
means of composing their differences. the
entire country is bound to suffer from the
effects of increased unemployment at a
time when the demands for relief, due to
natural causes, are almost too great to be
met.
AS we on Labor Day pay deserved
tribute to the dignity of honest toll, let us
also counsel moderation and a spirit of
Cancellation on the part of employees and
employers alike.
