In nearly every committee wage cuts, one of the subjects Secretary Hoover has declared taboo, have oome up for discussion with the 'labor representatives making vigourous op. position. The outstanding feature of the con. forence is labor's conciliatory attitude Its policy, as indicated by Its leaders is to "get men back to work" and to steer clear of all controversial ques tions to accomplish this object. It i determined not to be forced Into a position which would lay the responsi. bility for any break in the conference on Its shoulders. Acoording to one of its leaders, It does not intend to "' peat Its performance in President Wilsor's first Industrial conference."

DUTY IS VOTING SYS RARWNG President Answers Virginia 0. 0. P. Request for Expression. Urges Big Poll This Fall. In response to a request for an ex pression on the "Duties of a Citizen." sept to President Harding by Charles i. Stoler, chairman, publicity commit too. Alexandria Republican Club, the Presideht has indicated that duty number one is attendqnoe at the polls on election day. "If you can sucoed in securing In Virginia this fall the largest vote that State ever cast, I will ersonalfy feet that youibave acoomplisbed a notable civic 'advantage, quite regardless of the political result." the ]President wrote to Stoler. "It seems to me 'that you have yourself suggested one of the most Important duties of every citilen. You observe that In the last election for governor of Virginia. only 89,000 votes were cast, while In 1930 the total, with women voting, rose to 231,000. wfille there was a total possible qualified vote of about 900,000. Quite regard lss of effect on the fortunes of par ticular political parties, I am im pressed that there is need particularly for an appeal to voters to perform their duty at the ballot box on electtlon day. If the result of a full vote 'in Virginia or any other State should prove disastrous to the party of which you or I chance to be a member, we would at least know that we had heard the voice of the people, and would be the more ready to acquiesce In their decision. There is no more important duty for the ciisen 1han this of voting on the one day rth year when his vote means something." In concluding the tetter, the Presi dent said: "I think It will not be improper for me to add, that I shall have, like yourstlf, no fear of the political result, if an expression can be secured. rt il somebody is not ts more in some I of mining costs owners' profits. ost of production ($5.55) is mines ($6.15), leaves a mine owner.
