PROSPERITY OF U.S. IS CITED BY DAVIS Labor Secretary Calls for| High Wages and Immi- gration Control. Calllng for maintenance of high wages and welfare, for control of im-| migration and for modification of anti- trust laws to allow the condition de- scribed to be main- tained, Secretary of Labor I his annual today declared that in prosperity and happiness the “American people so stand as to be the subject of ad- miration and study the world over.” “While we take into account. the splendid 1ife of plenty and peace we enjoy,” the La bor Secretary said, “‘we must not sup- pose that all is perfect with us. our nations not perfect. Bad Business. “No matter on what plea or reduction of wages is bad busine The time ha ry or emplo down wage sc by the communit shrewd or clever in indusi It is the mutual willingness of the worker to produce and the employer to pay for production that accounts in large measure for our present pros- perity. It has crowded the home mar- ket with millions of ready consumers and buyers; it has stocked that mar. ket with an infinite variety of goods | for improving their standard of liv- ing.” Mr. Davis declared that the “simple secret of the natienal prosperity” in the maintenance of high production and high wages -had resulted in cessa- tion of strike activity, and predicted that this condition would continue. “Never before in the history of American industry has the country witnessed such a degree of general harmony between worker and employ- er,” he said. “This attitude of mu- tual respect, good will and partner- ship is growing in the country.” “Lags Behind.” The Labor Department head men- tioned the bituminous coal mining in- dustry “as one industry that lags be- hind the others in living up to Ameri- can standards of organization and business administration,” remarking on protracted strikes in coal produc- tion, and suggested that one way out of that industry’s difficulties might be the alleviation of anti-trust law pres- sure against business consolidation. “I have observed not a few situa- tions in which it seemed to me that consolidation or combination in the fleld fo industry would be of much benefit to the general public,” he said, after citing the coal industry. “Per- haps a series of corporations with combined selling agencies would aid in solving the problems of coal mining. Such organization of mining, and that alone, will stabilize production,. elim- inate the wastes of overproduction and make employment and wages con- tinuous.” ‘While supporting several recom- mendations for improving operation of the immigration law, the Secretary asserted that present American re- strictions give the alien “more rights, more sympathetic consideration, more actual courtesy and safeguards than any ‘other country in the world.” He included with his report the summaries of the activities of the various bureaus which make up the Labor Department. Mr. Davis renewed previous recom- mendations for additional space to house the constantly enlarging activi- ties of the department. “The erection of a new Department of Labor Build- ing as soon as possible is again urged,” he said. “The makeshift moves con- stantly being made in the department to take care of its steadily increasing activities do not lend to efficient ad- ministration. Communication between the bureaus located outside headquar- ters and the administrative offices is slow and cumbersome, and does not make for efficiency in the handling of the public business. The need for a new building is vital.” The Government Hotels, located on the Union Station Plaza, netted a prof- SPECIAL NOTICES gflx‘ior nzbu'smxsmhg FOR ANY other_than ts A urie mi e, Slened) JERREL CE 1S HE James J.

Wenck, Be- | queathing Sum to First Con- gregational, Upheld. The First Congregational Church, which is attended by President and Mrs. Coolidge, will benefit to the ex- tent of $50,000 by a decision of the District Court of Appeals rendered to- day by Chiet Justice George E. Mar- tin. The court upheld the action of the District Supreme Court in sus- | taining the will of Samuel H. Wenck, years old, formerly of Montclair, . who moved to Washington in 2 ‘and died at the Annapolis Hotel | September 24, 1925. w | Wenck left $10,000 to his sister and, after other bequests, named the First Congregational Soclety of Washington s the residuary legatee. The Riggs ational Bank was named as executor and was represented by Attorney Frank J. Hogan. A caveat was filed by a number of nieces and nephews who had not been mentioned in the will, The appellate court finds that | there was no evidence to prove lack of mental capacity to make a valid will, although made but a few months before the death of Wenck. He was a member of that church, the court points out, and had given $1,000 to the church and seemed interested in its welfare.

The airways in the United States were declared by the Commerce Secretary to be a very great contribu- tion to air safety, and there have been “practically no fatalities” on the airways this year. Contrasting the development of commercial aviation in this country with progress in Euro- pean nations, Mr. Hoover said, all European airlines are subsidized, while in no case has an American line been guaranteed a return by the ‘Government. it of $52,763.21 over the year's oper- ation, the report said.

THE 'EVE'NI'I\G ST'\T\‘ WASHINGTON, D._ |SEEK CRIME TRUST L00T OF §2.700.000 Police Believe Kidnaping of Roisnor Has Revealed Activities of Gang. By the Associated Pre: CHICAGO, December 5.—Loot val- ued at $2,700,000, stolen during the last year by a highly organized “crime trust,” today was the object of an intensive search by police of this and other Midwest cities. The kidnaping and subsequent re- lease of Morris Roisnor, of St. Paul, Minn., led to revelations of the ac- tivities of the “crime trust.” Roisnor was kidnaped by gangsters last Thursday and held until Saturday for $75,000 ransom. Rolsnor had been tortured, but wa: released, he said, when his captor learned the police were on their trail. Several reputed members of the gang were arrested after he told his story. A score more are being sought. $700,000 in Stolen Gems. The kidnaped man, and Charles according to Michael Grady, deputy chief detective, were known to the gangsters as men who had handled | more than $2,000,000 worth of bonds | and negotiable securities stolen from banks in all sections of the country. Stolen jewels, valued at $700,000 wer also disposed of to them, the police | said. Abe Ginsberg, Minneapolis, who acted as the go-between in mnegotia- | tions between Roisnor and the kid- | napers, was held for further question- | ing. Eugeno (Red) McLaughlin, whom | the police believe may know some- | thing about the kidnaping, is being sought for questioning. ~His pal, Harry Brown, alias “Frisco Dutch” was arrested last night.
