STEEL CORPORATION
TO RAISE WAGES
OF LAB0RERS
Gigantic Company Has 1867
888 Employees on Payroll
With Annual Salaries. and
Wages of S161 $4,000,

nv Morning journal Special Leased Wire).
New York. Dec. 24.--Iclmer II. Gary,
chairman of the United States Steel
Corporation. announced this afternoon
that the corporation was planning the
adjustment of wage scales soon, which
would result in material increases,
particularly in connection with wages
paid unskilied labOrers. His state
ment follows:
"At the meeting of presidents Of
the subsidiary companies of the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation last Thurs
day, it was unanimously voted that
there should be made in the near fu-
ture adjustment of the wage scales
which win result in material increases,
particularly with respect to common
laborers, and at the meeting of the
finance committee today it was Ge-
cided to recommend to the presidents
that they make the adjustments pro-
posed at such times and in such
amounts as may be determined.
The exact amount of increases and
the date at which they will go into
effect are being considered and will
be determined within a few days
The proposition to readjust the
wage scale, especially as affecting the
common lahorers Of the corporation,
has been under debate the greater
part of this year Intimations that
some increase would be granted were
given at the November meeting of the
presidents. 1t is under
stood that not less than 10000 labor
ers will be benefited and it is con
sidered not improbable that many
other employees II various minor Ca
pacities also will share in the new
scales. The United states Steel Cor
pOration had 196.SSS employees on its
rolls in 1911. with. total annual sal
aries and wages of $l61. 10000.
