V ? t ?' jr Washington, March 9.?Comjrl> jtion of the personnel of the^inidustrial board for hastening th^ return of prices and wages to a i normal i level was announced today Y11*011^ [the Council of National Defence, Associated with George N. ^eek, of Moline, 111., a former member of the war industrial board, as chairman of the new organization, are I Samuel f. liush, 01 uoiumDUs, umo; ; Anthony Caminetti, commissioner of : immigration; Thomas K. Glenn, of Atlanta; George R. James, of Memphis; T. C. Powell, of Cincinnati, and Wm. M. Ritter, of West Virginia. The chief purpose of the new board, it was announced, is to bring about the operation of the laws of supply and demand, interfered with by the processes of war. To this end j conferences will be held with representatives of the chief industries to "decide on prices to be offered to | the nation as the governmentally I approved judgment on a price scale | low enough to encourage buying t and the resumption of normal activities." "As soon as a stable and whole some scale of prices is achieved," said the annuoncement, "the cost of living will have so far been reduced as to create automatically reductions in the price of labor without interfering with American standards and ideals for the treatment and living conditions of labor, and thus the last inflating element will have been I withdrawn from prices. It is believed that industry will agree that the cost of living must be substantially reduced before labor should be asked to accept lower wages and thus industry should stand the first shock of readjustment. "Basic commodities, such as steelbuilding materials, textiles and food, will be considered first and brought to a stable basis. The governmental policy, as expressed by the bill to authorize purchase by the government of wheat at the guaranteed price and resale of it at the world price, is'to assist in bringing prices of basic commodities to normality by bringing down the cost of living. It is hoped that these steps alone will automatically operate to reduce price of fabricated articles. If they do not do so in any particular case, the industry affected will be invited into conference. "The assurance to the country of a market stabilized at the lowest i reasonably expected level will loosen such a flood of buying for the recreation of stocks, the making up arrears in the building program, the feeding of needs long starved by economy and the invasion of world markets, as may stand unprecedented in this country. From the stable level thus reached by cooperation we may expect a healthy and normal 9 i t ^ V. , TOMORRC itn . ? - What is done iiTchi . blood and build up rug or bgE&ks the man of t youffi, with nervous en< constant care and mm i to help maintain strength and the dual strain of growth and * The reputation of 5cott'? is 1 I nourishing qualities and its ab Scott & Bownt, Boom 'condition created by the complete 'and unhampered operation of the law of supply and demand." In reply to the objection that a general reduction in sellipg prices !now will force industry and comjmerce to take a loss on products 1 purchased at war prices, the board's announcement said the losses under the proposed plan would be less than if industry were required to wait a natural readjustment with its coflj sequent long period of stagnatio^fl "The normal operation of supply and demand^^^^^HM statement, cur^^^J^f^H not cause, first, becai^^^^^^^fl | operate until buying second, because buyin^^^^^^H we have stable and homogeneou^^^^^^H I ?0?V AARON WALKER DIES ^ 1 Greenwood Negro Electrocuted Saturday Aaron Walker, Greenwood County negro, cbnvicted of attempted criminal assault in that county and sentenced to die, paid the death penalty in the electric chair Saturday morning at 11:50 o'clock. The condemned man was led into the death chamber at 11:44 after the death warrant had been read to him in his cell about 40 feet from the chair. A negro minister had spent the last moments with him. Walker's death was the closing chapter of a series of singular and coincident events. He was first sentenced to die in January, but was given a reprieve on account of the State electrician having influenza. He prepared to meet death the second time, February 21, but the cur ' rent failed and he was given anoth'er reprieve until March 8. His electrocution Saturday establishes a precedent in South Carolina, he being the first man to pay the death penalty in the State 'on Saturday. Friday has long been hangman's 3ity, but with the precedent once broken : electrocutions may follow any day in ' the week.
