(By Associated I
Washington. D. C., Nov. 16.—Ques
tions of industrial peace and related
problems were discussed today at
conference between leaders of organ
ized labor and Herbert Hoover, for
mer federal food administrator, and a
member ol President Wilson’s second
industrial conference
Hoover who came to the conference
ot the executive committee of the Am
erican Federation of Labor, at the re
quest of President Samuel Gompers
said he had made a transcontinental
trip from San Francisco to discuss the
“whole Industrial and employment sit
uation.”
Hoover said he had no definite pro
g.xim to offer, but expected to “ad
vise and discuss” with labor officials,
on general conditions.
While - Federation officials are reti
cent about the subjects to come before
the council today, it was indicated that
Hoover would be asked to discuss a
means of reducing waste in produc
tion.
The leaders while admitting there
are evils in the labor situation which
are causing some of the production
waste, are prone to place the blame, if
any attaches, to inefficient manage
ment.
