BOSTON, October 7.—A brief ses- | sion for the disposal of routine af- | fairs was the extent of the activities today of th: American Federation of Labor convention. Other business was deferred until tomorrow to give the 400 delegates an opportunity to witness the ,parade of the American Legion, which |is also holding its convention here. | Resolutions contributed by delegates ; were compiled and made ready for fu- ture action of the convention at large. | With the time for filing resolutions e: piring tonight, it was expected that ac- tion on those submitted could be start- ed_tomorrow. ‘The convention had before it for consideration the appeal of President | Willlam Green for immediate inaugu- ration of the five-day work week in in- i dustry with the exception of the serv- |ice groups. Although some branches of organized labor are now working a five-day week, the appeal of President Green in his opening address to the convention yesterday paved the way for i the effort to make such a program uni- versal.

Representatives of organized labor were told by President Hoover yester- day that co-operation, team-play and the absence of conflict during the busi- ness_depression had added strength to the Nation’s industrial structure. From President Green of the federa- tion they heard a plea for united sup- port in efforts to inaugurate imme- diately the five-day work week in in- dustry. The federation president pald tribute to the pioneers in the labor movement in this country, whose prob- lems in years past, he said, were no 1: serious than those confronting labor ay. President Hoover spoke before more than 2200 delegates and guests. He was accorded a tremendous ovation, as ‘was Mrs. Hoover, who was presented to the assembly. Note of Optimism. Sounding a note of optimism in the face of the industrial depression, Presi- dent Hoover said, “No one would invite either war or business depression, but from them may come some new inspira- tions. We find in these times courage and sympathy, generous helpfulness from our work people to those unfortu- nates suffering not alone from the pres- ent, but from fear for the future. find_inspiration in the courage of our employers, the resolution of the Nation that we shall build steadily to prevent and mitigate the destructiveness of these great business storms.” President Hoover’s stand against the reduction of wages as a solution of the ing him to the convention: obriate. oRBOFRUAIY. 1o, Teler 0, the P! o y refer peo“;numic philosophy which President Hoover has repeatedly expounded. I refer to the matter of wages. He has steadfastly maintained that the pros- remy of our country depended very argely upon the development of the consuming power of the masses of the people to a maximum capacity through payment of the highest wages possible. “I have always interpreted his statement in favor of the payment of high wages as an indorsement of the wage philosophy announced by the Atlantic City Convention of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor. “The President demonstrated his faith and confidence in the principle of high wages when he called a con- ference of representatives of labor and industry at the White House last No- vember. At that conference he suggested that 'E:Ioe be preserved in industry and 't wages be maintained during the period of unemployment through which we were passing. The great in- fluence which he exercised on that oc- casion served to maintain wage stand- ards and to prevent a general reduc- tion in wages. “As we emerge from this distressing riod of unemployment we are per- mitted to understand and appreciate the value of the service which the President rendered the wage earners of the country and industry when he con- vened the White House Conference to which I have just referred.” The aggressiveness of President Green's appeal for the five-day work week was indicated by his statement: “1 wish that beginning now it might be the purpose of the officers of the federation to press upon industry our uncompromising demand that the five- day work week be immediately estab- lished.” The workers of today can produce, he said, in the shorter work s, {day and the shorter work week, the commodities needed by the world.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE. President Hoover's speech before the American Federation of Labor in which i he discussed “Destructive Competition” and proposed that “If our regulatory laws be in fault they should be revised,” is interpreted as meaning that he favors l‘ revision of the Sherman anti-trust aws. For a long time the American Federa- tion of Labor has argued that the Sher- man law has outlived its usefulness. While the law has often been adversely commented on by labor officials because it has been used to obtain injunctions against the concerted action of labor executives, there has lately developed among students of the labor question the idea that consolidation of efficient units will be possible only when the trust laws are modernized. Mr. Hoover's discussion of the intro- duction of labor-saving devices and what is now known as “technological unemployment” is not new, for he him- self states that the situation has been under investigation by Government de- partments, by Congress, commissions and committees for the past 10 years. His suggestion, however, that the key to a solution lies in the reduction of de- structive competition is the first note of leadership which has been struck. The following paragraph in the President’s speech undoubtedly represents a plat- form which employers of large groups of labor will embrace. He said: “It certainly is not the purpose of our competitive system that it should produce a competition which destroys stability in an industry and reduces to poverty all those within it. Its purpose is rather to maintain that degree of competition which induces progress and protects the consumer. If our regu- latory laws be in fault, they should | revised. DODGE PRICES REDUCED!!

Inasmuch as the foregoing was said immediately after a discussion of the situation with respect to mine labor it is taken for nted that Mr. Hoover had in mind legal difficulties in the coal industry. He pointed out that the encroachments of electrical power, of natural gas and of improvements in consumption have tended to slow down the annual demand for bituminous coal at the same time that the labor-saving devices have diminished the demand for labor. Mr. Hoover does not say that the coal industry should find employ- ment for all its miners, but in effect that it should be reorganized in order that the labor employed should be as- sured of a siob ‘The President pointed rather to the possibility of the development of new industrles or at least new sources of employment. He declared that during the last 10 years more than 2,000,000 workers have been displaced from older industries due to labor-saving devices, but somehow most of these workers “were re-established in new industry and new service.” The President argues that our economic system can be re- volved in such fashion that further new discoveries and inventions “will further increase our standard of living and thereby continue to absorb men who are displaced in the older indus- tries.” Not Politically Conspicuous. In other words, the President enter- tains the belief that as the standards of living are raised the consumer will find more ways to spend his money and that the consumption of leisure itself is one of the new services requiring ad- ditional workers. This is in line with the findings of the committee on recent economic chnndf;.s as pointed out that as the standa: of living are raised and opportunities for consumption of leisure are increased the country expands its services, and this is considered a help- ful devlelopment, particularly when it occurs in a period when the consumer Big HOmCS LOW Prices The Right Location That Is the Sum Total of the Great Success of the New Shannon & Luchs Forest Section OF CHEVY CHASE WHY PUT OFF INVESTIGATE To Inspect Drive out Conn.

Mr. Hoover's speech before the American Federation of Labor wil go down as not particularly conspicucus as a political document because he did not discuss in any way the politics of the hour exce&t n the sense that he ex- pressed his friendliness to organized labor and exhorted the captains of in- dustry not to reduce wages. The day has passed, however, when the Ameri- can Federation of Labor is a political factor in national elections, for during periods of unemployment the workers are in the habit of voting against the party in power, while during an era of prosperity they usually uphold the administration. ‘The address, however, will form the basis for much discussion on the prob- lem of unemployment, which is ex- ted to be tackled with vigor and with less partisanship when the Autumn elections are out of the way.
