State's Aid In Crisis
"In the critical days of 1020. when
the iiei,t-war revival had been succeeded
hv ilrnstln iirlei! reactions nnd a crave
cenimercinl and Industrial crisis, the.
support of 1'enns.vlveniu banKs uiu
much te enable the Federal ltescrve
System te prevent that crisis from de
veloping into a most disastrous money
panic.
"At one time during the fall of 1020,
when the strain was greatest, one Fcd
tral Reserve bank was neither bor
rowing from nor lending te ether Fed
eral Reserve banks, and three Federal
Reserve banks were lending an aggre
gate of $2117.000.000 te the remaining
eight Federal Reserve banks. The two
Federal Reserve banks of which Venn
Kylvanla banks are members had been
able, through the bound nnd conserva
tive policies pursued generally by their
member banks, te accumulate large
tcpbh rnserves nnd thus were In tiesl-
tien te advance te Federal Reserve
hiiV In nthcr districts mere than two-
thirds of the entire amount borrowed
by these banks. The value te the coun
try of this service can hardly be over
estimated, and it gives me pleasure te
make te these reserve banks nnd te
their member banks this acknowledg
ment te which I feel they nre entitled."
Must Keep Geld Standard
Maintenance of the geld standard by
foreign nntlens is vital, Comptroller of
the Currency Crisslnger told the bank
ers. Otherwise, he said, the United
Stntes might be left with an enormous
uterc of the yellow metal stripped of
Its monetary value.
Te this end Mr. Crisslnger advocated
adjustment of the. foreign war debts

would permit of their eventual pay

be said, "largely out of the pockets of
the working people who can least af
ford It."
"Ne element in the business com
munity can permanently maintain it
Kelt in a mere favorable position as a
result of the conditions created by the
war than ether elements in our busines
life," Mr. McAdams added. "The
laborer is worth his hire nnd no mew,
and his hire is determined by the
economic value of his service in the
general scheme of industry nnd busi
ness. Would Pay Penalty
"The coal miners arc trying te get
Increased wages and de less work. This
is a very serious problem for the coun
try as n whole. They are fighting
for the maintenance of wages approxi
mately four times what they were in
1014. They arc fighting for n five
day week, six hours a day. America
cannot prosper under such unbalanced
conditions, whether In regard te coal,
transportation or building labor. Ry
the brute strength of a strike labor
may misuse its power te establish for
the moment higher wages than are
justified by the economic worth of Its
services te the community, but for
tunately we have In economic forces
elf-cerrectlng factors. Through the
painful process of business depression
unjustly high wages in any particular
line will be forced down In the long
run te an equilibrium with wages in
ether lines."
, The convention which comes te n
close today is the largest in the history
of the association. Mere than two
thousand three hundred banker have
been in attendance during the three
day convention.
Andrew W. Mellen, Secretary of the
Treasury, web the honor guest of the
convention nnd he was tendered nn
ovation by the bankers.
Resolutions were adopted defending
the Federal Reserve Hunk against "un
warranted attacks and unfounded criti
cisms by selfish ndvecates of unsound
principles." The retention of W. 1. G.
Harding as governor of the Federal Re
serve Hoerd was advocated in another
resolution adopted, and President Hard
ing was asked te reappoint hltn when
his term expires next August.
The bankers also adopted a resolu
tion pledging support in the campaign
which will be extended against the sale
of worthless stocks and securities.

By the Associated Press
New Yerk, May 26. Union officials
and anthracite operators who nre con
ferring here in an effort te end tbe
coal strike today adjourned until next
Friday without a further discussion of
the miners' reply! te the demands of
the operators for a 21 per cent wage
reduction.
The miners' refusal te settle the strike
en a basis of a 21 per cent cut in
wages was presented te the operators
last night at n secret cenferehce of tbe
joint sub-committee which has been
attempting, since March IS, te nego
tiate n new wage contract.
Charges are made by the miners in
n fifteen-page statement that "needless
and Indefensible profits" en hard coal
arc exacted from the public through tbe
operators' monopolistic control of the
industry. '
Monopoly Charged
This monopoly, they allege, "arises
from three sources and is in large part
concealed from the view of the public,"
namely :
"Frem the direct mining of coal.
"Frem the ownership of anthracite
coal-carrying railroads, which control
coal -producing companies mining tour
fifths of the eutnut of the mines and
which, in order te obtain large but con
cealed profits for the monopoly nnd pre
vent competition from Independent pre
ducers, nave imposed grossly excessive
freight rates en coal.
"Frem the maintenance by the large
operators or coal mining companies of
separately organized coal-sales com
panies through which an added heavy
tribute Is placed upon the distribution'
of coal.
Would Net Reduce Price
"Your proposed wage reductions
would net cause n drop In tbe price of
coal," the miners' statement continues.
"The present high prices cannot be
attributed te any past Increase In wage
rates, for the labor cost of a ten of coal
is new only S3. 50, whereas the in
crease in retail price since 1013 has
been from S8 te $10 per ten.
"As the total luber cost in producing
a ten of anthracite is only $3.50, or
about 25 per cent, of the retail price,
a radical reduction of even 21 per cent.
In present wngc rates as you propose,
would mean a reduction et net ever
75 cents per ten, or only about 5 per
cent.,. In the price te the consumer.
Probably this small amount would be
absorbed in the process of distribution
and the consumer would receive no
benefit."
Attention. of the operators Is directed
te the statement that, under the pre&cnt
scale ei $4.-u a day ler shift workers,
the maximum annual earnings of a
miner, "who cannot hope te. get work
mere than -'7U days a year,' are only
(1134. The reduction te $3 a day, pro
posed by the operators, would cut, his
annual earning te $810, it :Mj.paiitd
Out. in-T.XKrntiTf
Even under the $4.20 rate, it is
nllcged, the $1134 annual earning "Is
far below the lowest estimate of the
amount necessary for the support of a
worker and his family," advanced by
scientific authorities and Federal re
search commissions. "The proposal of
such a wage is almost incredible as it
is completely at variance with all the
social, moral and human standards of
the present day."
HAYS ASKS PUBLIC TO BACK
MOTION-PICTURE MAKERS
Producers Declared Making Effert
te Maintain Clean Films
Pittsburgh, May 20. (By A. P.)
A plea for the public te stand behind
and help the motion -picture producers
in their efforts te maintain a clean
moral tone in film productions was
voiced here today by Will H. Hays.
president of the Motion-Picture Pre,(
(iiicers nnu uisinouiers ei America,
before an audience at Carnegie Insti
tute. He declared he was entirely convinced
of the sincerity of the large producers
and distributors in the organization,
and he pledjed his hearers the best ef
forts of his association.
"While asking for your aid and co
operation," he said, "I would like te
nsk, tee, that you judge us by our ac
tual performances rather than by any
premises we may make. We are build
ing this industry for years te come and
though our progress may seem perhaps
slew at the beginning, the results, we
nre confident, will be certain and per
manent." Mr. Hays said $800,000,000 a year
