8 7 EEL WORKERS
CETS12,000,000
WAGE RAISE
Trust Volunteers More Pay for
100000 Employees Other
Concerns Follow.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The increase
of $12,00O.O00 to the annual pay roll of
the United States Steel Corporation
went into effect today.
This increase in wages will be divid-
ed among about 100000 employees, but
the greatest advance will go to those
laborers who are paid the lowest wages.
BY this adjustment Of it's pay roll the
steel trust turns over to its employees
sum that is equal TO about Z 1-3 per
cent on the outstanding stock, or prac-
tcalIy half of the $25,415, 125 paid out in
dividends to the stockholders last year.
1t is also equal to about Z IL per
cent on the total sum paid in wages by
the corporation in the year 1911. The
1911 pay roll amounted to 61,419.031.
1t is expected that this action on tho
part Of the greatest corporation Of it's
kind in the world will have q stimulat
ing effect on stocks. This vast sum has
been turned over to the employees in
the face Of threatened government
prosecution and at the threshold Of o.
new national administration.
The largest annual pay roll the Steel
Corporation ever had was in 1910. The
sum paid in wages that year was STA
95o,l3S, compared with s161.419.O31 in
1911, the last figures available.
1t is thought the new increase Of
$l2,Oo0,000 will bring the pay roll uo 10
about the 1910 level.

Carter Only Seeks
EXOneration, He Says

Il. Colquitt Carter, former United
States court clerk. said today that he
had instigated the investigation into
the conduct of Inspector Harris merely
to gain eXoneration from the charges
that his office was mismanaged. He said
he had no desire to regain the office
which he voluntarily resigned
There is an investigation IN prog
ress, which | requested" he said. That
is about all l can say. I asked the de-
partment at Washington to examine the
inspectors report which attacked me.
and to ascertain its motives"
Developments in connection with the
investigation were not embodied in the
original request of Mr.. Carter, who
asked merely that the report of Harris
be probed.
The report in question charged Mr.
Carter with owing the government $1O.-
O00 because Of overpayment for work
done in the bankruptcy division of his
office
o. c. Fuller, Of Atlanta clerk Of the
United States district court. said today
that he was not mixed w in the matter.
The judges Of the Federal courts
here know all about the resignation of
MI. Carter he said. and it is they
who should protest if there is anything
irregular. They have not. YOU see. The
judges handle all things connected with
the appointment and resignation of the
clerks Of the courts, and noJ the attor-
ueV general"
His Friend. He Says.
MT Carter. who is making the
charges against Inspector Harris. would
not accuse me of attempting to in
iure him" he continued at least, l
don't think so. fou I have been his
friend The charges against tie inspec-
tor are being worked out i'm Washing
ton and l know nothing of them
MY record of service in this court
and the circuit court for 81 years is
proof enough that any possible accuse =
ton against me in this matter is UNI
founded"
The charges in question involve an
alleged eXaggeratio of minor details OF
the administration of the clerk office
under Colquitt Cartor-an exaggeration
made, it is charged. for the purpose Of
putting him in bad light. That the
report of Inspector Harris. embodying
the alleged e&agGeratiou. was colored
through the influence of a local govern
mcnt official is the suspicion of Carter,
which is being investigated by the Fed
eral department of justice.
