Oregon Solons Ask Delay Of Columbia Basin Plans WASHINGTON, May 4 (API President Roosevelt tonight promised government cooperation to American Industry in a volun tary effort on its part to' end "chaos" and bring about fair com petition and elimination of "eat throat prices." In an address to the chamber of commerce ot the United State he also said "it Is essential, as a matter of national Justice, that the wage scale should be brought back to meet the cost ot lrring and that this process should begin now and not later." In the brief address, the- busy president outlined firmly to the national business leaders his gen eral ideas for national recovery. He carefully refrained from dis cussion of the legislative indus trial program he has In mind and which Is still in the formulativ stare. His assurance of government cooperation to industry was inter preted at the capital as Indicative of his intention to extend federal supervision over a voluntary reg ulation of business by buslneae it self.

You and I agree that this con dition must be rectified and that order must be restored. The at tainment of that objective de pends upon your willingness -to- co operate with one another to this end and also your willingness to cooperate with your government." Pointing to a recent Increase in the price level. Mr. Roosevelt took up first with the business chief tains the Question of wsgee. "I, therefore, ask you," he said, who represent in all probability the majority ef the employers or the nation, to refrain from fur ther reduction in the wages ef" your employes and I ask yew ate to increase your wage seaOea- In conformity with and slmultans with the rise of the level ef mod Ity prices in so far as this Hex within your power. As for cooperation of industry for improvement, he said: "In almost every industry- an overwhelming majority of the units of the Industry are wholly willing to work together te pre vent over production, to prevent unfair wages, to eliminate Im proper working conditions. In the past success in attaining these objectives has been prevent by a small minority of the units tn many Industries. I can assure yen that you will have the cooperation of your government In brtnghte; these -minorities to understand that their unfair . practices are contrary to a sound publle pol icy." The president spoke before a gathering which had heard dis tinguished speaker after speaker say that the parting of the ways had been reached; either the anti trust laws must be relaxed to per mit cooperation through trasTe as sociations Unking competitors in each line, with a government agency supervising their agree ' ments, or Industry must submit to strict regulation of employment. wages, production, perhaps prfeeav Some Insisted this road1ed to gr ernment ownership.
