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I withdrawn from prices.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

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

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.
Walker died protesting his inno
