PAPER OFF PRESS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2, (UP)— President Hoover will call soon a na tional confeten'T of industry and la- : l«>r to promote more general adopI tion of the five-day week as a means ! of giving jobs to many now idle. He accepted the suggestion for a general conference made by Governor John G. Winant of New Hampshire, sponsor of the “New Hampshire" : plan designed to create jobs for 3.000000 through the five-day week. Following up a conference last night with Winant and other repre sentatives of the New England coun-

plants of various sorts showed that 10 per cent ni te workers coul! ho taken on at salaries of from $7K0 to $1,000 nnnualh if there were contributions of 4 to a per cent from those with salaiies of a.(too and over; 3 to 4 per eeiit on alaries from $1,(00 to $5,000, and 2 to : pet cent ■ n salaries

under $ 1,500.

Adoption of -uTi \ c-ile admittedly would lowei (lightly the standard of living of tho e now employed, but cairied to its ultimate conelu on woul I give everyljod> a job at a lower wage. The same amount of money would bo sftciit in wages, but with more indivi luul amilies drawing it undoubtedly H'k ot it would go', back into consumptive channels A return of prospuiH hould result in incteasing wag igiin generally.
