factory laborer and retailer alike
that a protective tariff alone

reduction of costs to within the
reach ot tha consumer's pocket Jon The apparatus was a bit late
book-before there could be a TH in arriving from Portland in the
turnu to "old time prosperity. I
Senator McCumber said the
way to reduce costs was for the
manufacturer and retailer to be
' satisfied with "most meager" pro-
fits for a while and for the fac-l
tofy employes to Increase their
efficiency, ."'to the' highest possi-
ble decree." In view of the ores-1
lent high cost of living, he added,
it weald be "most nniust" for the
manufacturer to give his economy
by cutting wages. .

COAL STRIKE IS
NEAR END, HEAD
OF UNIONS SAYS
NEW YORK, April 20. A
break in the deadlock between
bituminous coal operators and
miners and a peaceful settlement
of the strike "wjthin a few weeks"
was forecast here tonight by Sam
uel Ccmpers. president of the
American Federation of Labor.
Government intervention to pre
vent a shortage of fuel for the
nation will' not become necessary,
Mr. Gompers declared.
"When it is demonstrated that
the miners are standing firm and
are prepared to hold out," he as
serted, "the operators will agree
to confer with them and a new
wage agreement will be the re
sult." The veteran labor leader had
Just completed a, series of confer
ences with union chiefs in the tex
tile strikes in New England. He
came to New York at the Invita
tion of Samuel Unlermeyer, coun
sel for the Lockwood Investigating
commission, to testify before that
body tomorrow in regard to labor
(organization practices.
Asserting that "the drive of 'big
business' to smash the labor un
ions has lost its force," Mr. Gom
pers declared,-with a recent dimin
ution of from 1 to 2 per cent
in nation-wide unemployment, as
reported by government investi
gators, "there is a little bit of
sunbeam in the Industrial situa
tion." The revival of trade and
of manufacturing, he said, has
already set in and will be one Of
the deciding factors in the coal
strike No shortage of fuel threat
ens the larger industries, for. they
are well supplied for the emer
gency, he said. But he foresaw
in the demand of the smaller man
ufacturer, local enterprises, pub-
lie utilities and domestic consum
ers, a strengthening market for
coal which would compel produe
ers to make overtures to the min
ers, in order that the collieries
might be reopened.
The federation chief character
ized the coal and textile strikes as
the turning point in the wave -of
wage reduction which has swept
the country in the last year.
