American Newspapers Place Full Weiglit Against Effort To Bring 44 Hour Week In Shops President cf Publishers' . Association Declares There Can Be no Reduction in Advertising or Subscription Rates at This Time. (By The Aaomiel FresO NEW YORK, 28. Placing the full weight of the American Newspaper Pub liirliers' Association against any effort :o introduce the 44 hour week work into newspaper shops and declaring that there cannot be any reduction in newspaper ad vertisinir or subscription rates at this time, T. It. Williams, of the Pittsuburgh Press, and president of the association, called upon the members at the opening of the annual convention today to elimi- nntc waste in the newspaper plants of tbe country and g"t behind the appren ticeship school movement in order to prevent a shortage of skilled help in newspaper plants. Calling attention to the achievements of President Harding, himself a publish er, Mr. Williams urged his hearers to fol low the example of their illustrious fel low craftnian, and, as he had led in the scrapping of engines of war to promote international co-operation, for the pub lisher to scrap the jealousies and animosi ties that in their ultimate results are harmful not only to th.se upon whom they are used but to those who us" them as well. Only by this inothu.l v. ill this association obtain iti fullest result., he added. " Undoubtedly, one of our chief needs, is a further lowering of the cost of pro duction mil the elimination o:- wilful waste," ah id Mr. William.-. "The farm er lree chiefly beyou.l the immediate con trol of the publishers; the latter is en tirely beneath his vn roof. "As a further alleviation of the high cost of jiroiluction, many insist that labor costs are too high and that the chief end to be sought is a reduction in the wage wales of skilYd workmen. 'While it is conceded that some reduc tion is in order from the very top notch prices still being paid and while ties" reductions seem certain to come in course of time, yet there is another and, I think, better light in which to con sider this problem sivuring greater and more ellicient returns from labor. Publishers generally are not averse to giving lalior a high wage in keeping with the experience and skill required by the business but in return they have a right to insist upon a day's work in con- HEAVY EARTHQUAKE, VOLCANO ERUPTIONS SHAKE TOKIO, JAPAN (By The Associated Press. 1 i TOK'H), April L'(i - A heavy earth shock, centering in Tokio, occurred, at 10:13 o'clock th;s morning.

Is it not a good jtime for the. newspaper printing trades ! unions to do likewise? In this day of j industrial economy, when lowering the 1 cost of producting the necessities of life ; means so much to the welfare of nian I kind, does it not seem strange that trade 'unions, should have in their code of laws ! regulations designed exclusively for the purpose of creating jobs, and not pro ducing usable production for the em I plover I" j I Mr. Williams declared that while at ( one time these "job rules" might have been laudable in order to prevent nn-, employment there was no need for such a code today. He then drew attention to the schools at Macon. ia., and else where, 'but declared that they were too limited in scope to do much to change the labor situation. Securing the co-operation of labor to giw elliciency, full time usable work in return, he continued, "and in devising same means of attracting and training apprentices in the trades so that there will be sufficient labor to meet the fu ture demands of the rapidly growing an I ixpanding newspaper business. "In view of conditions cited. Here can be no justification whatever for the 41 hour week in newspaper offices, and the full force of the association will coin in uc ticcshijt against it. Besides, appren- laws should be changed so as to , invite more apprentices in the various trades, instead of repelling them as pre nt restrictions apparently do Pub lishers, in order to protect their own in terests, present and future, should sec that the full quota of apprentices are , carried in each department." A call for the revival of the conserva tion committee was made by Mr. Wil liams, who called 'for an aggressive cam paign against waste in the handling of newsprint, freight . hajils, . stundiirdiza tion of roll lengths, weight of paper, , press room waste, core waste, etc. WANTS SUPREME COURT TO DECIDE LIMITATIONS Wants to Know Authority of Legislative Servants in Pro posing and Ratifying A mendments.

George's Policies Foretell Failure of Economic Con ference. LONDON", April 2th The probatde early breakdown of the (ienou confer ence is more than hinted at in some of the London newspaper editcria's today. The NorthelitTe journals, which have consistent y opposed the conference and Premier Lloyd Oeorge 's advocacy there of, declare the meeting a failure, The i Times says: "It is daily becoming clearer that the splendid visions w.uch the world was asked to cxpe.-t as a result of the con ference are fading away, and it is childish of the Premier to try to cover his mistakes and hide his disappointment by casting the blame for his failures up on the press, whose on'y fault is that it lias been loo clear sighted." The Daily Mail says the only impor tant event at -the ouii'i-rence is the con clusion of a treat v bv the Russians and Germans iM-hind Lloyd George's back. Premier Poineare's speech ut Par Le Due is hailed by these newspapers as "tonic for overstrained nerves," and proof tiat "France rei-oguiz.'g that we live in it real world, u t in a conjectur er 's paradise. ' ' The Westminster Gazette, although disagreting with the French attitude, re gard it a.s the result of honest convic tion. The newspaper interprets M. Poin care's speech as "the plainest possible declaration that the French Government thinks the conference has la-ted pute i long enough and adds: "Cleur'y 't ends the (rcnoa - conference as far as France is concerned. " Assuming that France is determined to t New York Supreme Court grand jury, invade the Huhr valley to the end that;douht txnr,,d th-t Nirh.!.v. she muv enforce her demands, upon Ger- i manv, the newspaper foresees ' fresh ' disaster for Kuroiie, which Great Britain will be powerless to avert.
