He mado a statetucnl In which ho said,
after mentioning ho existence of uncm

tho troopi
"It was lecognlicd tint In a large
measure tho unemployment wai season
al and duo to tho Impossibility of earn
ing out open-air fon-itructkn In ctr
taln States at this time of tho ear. It
was, howcer, agreed thit a sicond Im
portant cause was the reluctance of

emergency requirements at tho pnscnt
lecl of prlcis nnd It wns felt thit a
ddUnnlnatlon of a post-war lee of
prices for Laslc commcdltits was ur
gently needed
"It .ii the R. tier.il opinion, Illustrated

lucl of prices to bicomo effectlM- It
was felt thit wnges would remain on

true wages of labor" as measured by
purUiituliig power should bo attunptcd
though It was felt that as tho cobt of
luing la reduced, labor would readily
agree to tho rorrcFpondlng adjustments
In money wages.
"If events are left to tako tho natural
courso, the establishment of post-war
prices would probably bf a difficult and
protracted matter j-lnco prices pi ono
commodity affect other commodities and
produce would wait for ono another to
.take tho first stop Such a course of
procedure would lmolie much unem
ployment and a loss to both labor nnd

"It was the sense of the meetlnr that
the fine splrjt of soluntary "co-operation
in inausiry wnicn naa proved such a
"valuable factor In the conduct of the
war should bo availed of to ease and
expedite the processes of readjustment
and that the manufacturers of the coun
try would be willing to take the first
step. After a full discussion of the
situation which occupied the greater
part of the daj a resolution was
adopted asking the Secretary of Com
merce to seek the approval of the
President to the appointment of a com
mittee to deal with the situation.
"It was contemplated that this com
mittee should call Into conference tho
representatives of the 'basic industries
of the country to examine conditions
In industry with a lev to the formula
tion of a scale of prices at which the
government departments and other buy
ers would be Justified .In buying free
ly and at which manufacturers would'
be willing to sell, with a view to main
raining or restoring business activity to
a full volume.
"It was felt that time was the very
essence of the problem and that, 'there

commltteo should proceed with all possi
ble speed. It was believed that public
nnnourl'emtnt.of the conclusions of such

When Hostilities Ended Com-
pnny Was Making 300
Engines a Month
War contracts approximating 1250,
000,000 were executed and delivered by
the Baldwin Locomotive Works and Its
associated companies during the war,
Tho material consisted chiefly of lo
comotlves, and Included shells, muni
tions and gunmounts, which were de
livered to all of the belligerent nations.
Including the United States.
The. associated companies were the
Standard Steel Works, the Eddj-stone
Ammunition Corporation and the Eddy
stone Munitions Company,
A total of B6B1 locomotives of all
gauges and tjpes were turned out by the
Baldwin Locomotive Works. They com
prised 3246 broad-gauge and 114s nar.
row-gauge steam locomotives of various
tj pes. twenty broad-gauge gasoline lo
comotives and 1139 narrow-gauge gaso-
lino lucuinouves.
The first orders for Inrnmniiv.. ex.
military service were received from Itus.
sla and rranc. In the fall of 1914, andver II. B.lr BldgT isio'dhestriut sulnt:
were followed by large orders for ad-
unionai locomotives from both these na
tlons. Among thee locomotives were 2S0
of sixty' centimeter gauge for the
I rench Government. These were double
truck locomotives ot a special type
known as the Pechot, which were built
throughout to the metrio sjstem of
measurement. Although this design was
entirely new in the practice of the works
the locomotives were completed and
shipped with unusual dispatch.
The Russian locomotives Included a
largo number of heavy freight engines
for service on the State railways. The
Russian Government .also ordered 3&0
light gasoline locomotives for trench
service. Development of this type of
motive power for military purposes was
one of the Interesting features of loco
motlvo production during the war period
Large numbers of gasoline locomotives
wero nlso constructed for tho Trench and
United States Governments.
For the British Government the Bald
win Iocomotlv e Works built a total of
960 locomotives, which represented sev
eral tjpes, some being of , narrow and
seJmc of standard gauge These loco
motives followed American practice In
design. The majority of them were made
In France.
300 a Month When liar Knded
After entry of tho United States Into!
the war, the Baldwin Locomotive Works I
was entrusted with what were probably
the largest and most urgent orderssvcr i
piacca in ine nistory of locomotive
building. Locomotives built on these
orders were used for transporting Amer
ican troops and supplies over the
French rallvvaj-s, and they became pop
ularly known as "Pershing engines" At
the time the armistice was signed they
were scheduled for completion at the
rate of 300 per month, and virtually the
entire capacity of the Baldwin plant
was being devoted to their construction
Xn addition to the Pershing engines,
which wero of standard gauge, tho
United Plates Government ordered a
large number of narrow-gauge steam
locomotives, and also, as has been men
tioned, of gasoline locomotives. .
Previous to tho entry of the United
States Into the war thovBaldvvIn Loco
motive Works manufactured a total of
1,471,000 shells for the British and
French Governments Thcso wero ma
chined In such of tho locomotlvo shops as
were available, and also In new shops
specially built and equipped for the pur
pose. In addition to thcso shells, com-
