DOAK FIGHTS CUT IN WAGES (CONTIN UED FROM PAGE ONE) lit should not all go to the profit of ■ industry." While the administration continues its reaffirmation of opposition to wage cutting. President I 'Hoover also is turning his at ten-1 tion to the prospective need fort re-1 lief due to unemployment next I winter. Still hopeful that all relief! can be handled on a local and private basis and without resort to any federal legislation which might |be construed by him as a dole, , President Hoover is calling in nat- . ional agencies such as the American Red Cross to survey the situation ■and coordinate relief activities, j The National Asociation of Com munity Chests and other agencies, all working in cooperation with the President’s employment committee headed by acting Chairman Fred C. Croxton, are preparing for a winter which the community chest ! heads say will be twice as bad as (last winter. I Meantime the American Federation of Labor has advanced a program to deal with the unemployment which it predicts may reach ! 7,000,000 next winter. The federj ation proposed a curtailed worki week to spread employment. Il I proposes public and private construction of all sorts. It urges em- : ployers to give workingmen assurances wherever possible of continued employment so that the men will be relieved of fear of losing their jobs and thus counteract the tendency to hoard which is believ-1 ed to be retarding consumption. Secretary Doak. commenting on the federation program, endorsed the proposal 'or a shorter week I saying he had long advocated this. "Low wage standards are a detriment in any country.” Doak said in i his interview with, the United j Press. “If we are going to keep up production we must keep up consumption. With the fall In our exI port trade an additional consumption burden is thrown upon our domestic markets. This, it would I seem, would therefore be the worst I 'possible time to strike at the coun- | try’s buying power by any whole- | sale reductions of wages. "I have been a railroad man for many years. 1 know that railroad I men have never had anything like a proper division of the profits of their industry. Executives of railroad labor organizations only this] ' week pointed out that there are I several hundred thousand railway I ! employees receiving less than sl,-i 000 a year and an equally large | x number earning less than $1,500 a ■' year. Between 1923 and 1929 rev-1 ' j enues of the railroads increased X more than S4OO per man employed I but the pay increased only about ! SIOO per man. "I am opposed to wage cutting as a short cut to profits. That is not the American way of meeting a difficulty." Criticism of the administrations I course in dealing with the wage ’ situation came via democratic national committee headquarters from . Rep. John N. Garner, minority lead- . er of the house. Citing Secretary of Commerce Lamont’s recent letter declining to interfere in Rhode Island wage cuttings. Garner askJed: "What becomes of the promise of the President to do all in his J power to avert the diminishing of the contents of pay envelops?" He said Lamont’s letter "suggests that next year the administration will claim credit for all wage schedules that have been maintained and deny responsibility for all that have been chopped." o Judge Scorns Daylight Saving Time For Court Steubenville O. —(UP) —Common pleas judge J. S. Paisley didn't approve of daylight saving time, so he issued an order stipulating that court should begin at 8:30 A. M and that none of the clocks in the courthouse be touched. As a result when it is 9 o’clock on Market street, it's still 8 o'clock inside the county buildings and clerks must go to work at 7:30 according to clocks in their own offices, even though the clocks in their homes read 8:30. So while Steubenville and most of the district is living working and | jilaying on daylight time, the old | town clock continues to tick the | hours as usual. Ot was indicated that a petition , might be presented to the city counI ell asking that the town clock be I moved ahead as a matter of public convinence, or that its face might be coveted until Sept. 27. o And That's All Generally apeaking, the man who 1 started lite with a shoestring atilt ■ lias it.
