! LABOR AND DWNERS . GETALDNGBETTER * Sec. Davis Makes Report on Past Year Washington, Dec. 4 (Pi—Improve- | ment of relations between employe and workers, with an absence of un- ployment and a dimunition in strikes, was declared today In the annual report of Sccretary of Labor Davis to have been an outstanding feature of the past ycar in indus- try, With the pressure of major indus- trial emergency removed, he said the department had been able to give constructive thought to the improve- ment of its work in controlling im- migration, alding labor, and promot- ing the public welfare, Mr. Davis sketched a possible line of future attack on the problem of over-production in industry, which he held responsible for much part- time and seasonal employment of workers. No mention of the anthra- cite suspension was made in the re. port, which covered the fiscal y ending with last June, Over Developed "One of the great elements of the problem. of unemployment {s the present over developed state of some of our larger industries,” he sald. “Our productive machinery and equipment n many of theso indus- tries cannot run 300 days per year without producing a stock that can- not be sold in this or any ofher country. As an illustration, the vensus lists 1,570 boot and shoe fac- tories; of these 227 or 14 1-2 per cent, produce 65 per cent of all shoes produced, and if they should run full time, they would produce 95 per cent of all shoes now produced and sold. In other words, 14 1-2 per cent of the factories, employing 60.4 per cent of the workers, could with steady work for 300 da year produce all the boots and & we need, “Take the flour miil industry as another example. Here we have perhaps the worst situation of all; 2.8 per cent of the plants, employ- ing 42 per cent of the whole num- her of workers engaged in the indus try, produce 62 per cent of {he out- put, while 85 per cent of the es- tablishments produce but 12 per cent. Soft Coal Industry “Take another situation, that of Lituminous coal. There are $38 shipping mines in the te of M- noie. These operated an average of days in a year, Had §4 of theso mines operated 300 days, could have produced 0,000 tong more in one year than all of them produced in 162 “Go down the line and in nearly cvery industry vou will find {he same appalling state of affairs. But it iy no use to consider the disease unless we make some attempt to over the remedy. A generation 70 our people were frightened by the term ‘combination’ or ‘trust.’ Most of the profest that went up against these new combinations ame from the ve people engaged auperfiuous try. * Now we see the fact more clearly, The combin- TESTED they | tive, ward monopoly or trusts such as were concelved In the minds of pro- testants a few ycars ago; not a sin- gle control or factory in each indus- | try, but a cutting down of the num- ber to the point where ench estab- | lishment upon a competitive basls | could operate at least approximately | |60 weeks in each year, | Coal 1s Blg Problem “What 18 necded {s some system that will keep going only the coal | mines and the manufacturing plants needed to produce what we need and | can sell, and needed to keep an ade- | |auate number of workers employed | for 300 days in the year, while the unnecessary mines and plants can ho closed or held in reserve. Wi need soma systc n for scattering un- |needed workers in any industry where they are really needed in in- | dustry vet to be develaped. It this | cannot be permitted under the exist- Ing laws, then there must be a way | of modifying them so as to permit it without incurring any other more serious consequence.” The secretary repeated his rec. emmendations for legislation to per- mit examination abroad of all im- { migrants, upon the system now op- erating in Fngland and Ireland. He |asked lkewiso for mare liberal terms |ot retirement on pension to govern- |ment employes, and for the con. |struction of a bullding to house the | labor department. | As to general immigration polley, | he repeated recommendations for the establishi.ent f quotas affecting |immigrants from countries on the American continents, and for en- {roliment in the United States of aliens, Heads of hureaus In tha labor de- | purtment reported directly upon the particular work under their jurisdic- tion. Hugh L. Kerwin, dircetor of conciliation, sald that during the year federal representatives i coped with industrial dispute volving an aggregate of |workers, and had been suceessi®il in |aiding scttlement in a large portion. Employment Service The United States cmployment service reported actually placing in employment during the fiseal year 1925 1,609,907 workers, Tor immigration | Commissioner General Hull gave the |total of aliens admitted to the Unit- | led Staten for the year as 438,425 [The usual tourist and business travel |acconnting for large numbers, but [immigrants admifted numbered 294, {314, A total of 25,200 persons seek- tor were-rojected as inad- sorvien | the {ing fo « | missabie. | Additional patrol o lon borders, Mr. Hull . had bet- [{ered the worl n. hut he ked for an inereased force th alien smugeling emond 1, €7 =ist, chief of 2 Turean, said ions of infen- alie: . and peti- naturalization.

Scott’s Emulsion of vitamin-tested cod-liver oil with glycerine and the hypophosphites of lime and soda has been on sale since 1873, and has always been considered by millions of persons a food-tonic of rare help and relia- bility to overcome weakness or mal- nourishment for all ages. When you take cod-liver oil or give it to vour child you will surely use Scott’s Emulsion which time has attested as superior, It is not a transient tonic. Through the years, day by day, it has steadily and pleasantly performed its mission of cre- ating strength and building up the body. Scott & Bowne, Rloomfield, N. J.
