Hoover, chairman of the president s unemployment conference. The governor recommends: A' reduction in the cost of building materials, particularly cement. A reduction in freight rates. A strict enforcement of the immigration laws. nt of interest rates. An he A great building program, will no doubt be initiatconments, This ed when we reach bottom. cannot occur, however, until those interested in this program are assured they that not only the materials uso have reached a stationary point, but it is. also reasonably certain that will not be money they invest reduction in interest a cheapened by rates. adj.-'tme- 4 Answsrs Inquiry.

Details Conditions. Ho thus summarizes the situation at present to Secretary Hoover. You may be interested to know that at tho present time our cool are producing a maximum; that seasonal occupation, such as the beet sugar industry, has absorbed a considerable amount of our unem ployed; that there has been some increase in employment in the rail road shops and metal mines; ths-some of our larger camps are operating normally and thaf only the copper industry of Utah at present is seriously affected so far as the mining industry is concerned. While there is considerable unemployment in this state, and a hard winter will padse some suffering, yet there has been improvement in the past three months. With reference to remedies there is of course, a difference of opinion. It is quite ns important to avoid doing the wrong thing as it is to do the right thing. For example, I think that whatever we do should he done with a view to promoting public interests, and not as a mere act of benevolence to the unemployed; that only what is economically sound should be recommended by your or undertaken by the industry; that business men should not be urged to increase manufacturing, enlarge their plants or to add to their number of employees unless it is necessary and will prove to be of permanent benefit. Governor Mabcv concluded by making the suggestion ,elreadv quoted and by assuring Secretary Hoover of ihe governors cooperation in the movement to deal with the nnemploy-men- t problem. mines t com-jnitte- e . . . . i High School Band Rev.
