Millions in Bonuses Are
Not Large, Schwab Says
in Address at N. Y.
Special to the Telegraph

New York, Feb. II. - Paying
bonuses of $1,00O,00O or s5,OOO,0OO a
year in addition to princeIy salaries to
assistants who increase profits or out
put is of little consequence, Charles
terday.
Brains are bigger asset than
money he said to the 500 book and
magazine publishers and diterary
people present. "They are essential
to the success of any business and
should be paid for by the corpora
tions who profit by them.
Paid One Assistant O Million
Mr.. Schwab said that he had paid
Nice-President Arch Johps6n of tha
Bethlehem Steel Company 100000 in
addition to his salary last year, and
that another assistant had received
more than $1,000,000 as his share OF
the profits he had produced.
The writer's and publishers all -ap-
plauded Mr.. Schwab'S sentiments
when he talked of brains being paid
for at increased rates and not a few
looked as though they would like 10
get chance to increase their in,
comes by receiving bonuses.
Mr. Schwab spoke without notes.
easily and in conversational tones He
was received with great enthusiasts
by his auditors, who hupched their
CnalfS closer TO near all ShaI he might
say. To allay the fears of the tinid.
Mr.. Schwab told them he- had a plant
at Bethlehem that was at least so per
cent. greater than the famous Krupp
Works at Essen, Germany.
Growth of the Industry
He said that in 1897 he personally
worked Ger the first steel girder that
was put into a skyscraper, Since that
time. he said, the steel business in
the United States had gone forwsCd
in leaps mad bounds. England and
Germany, he declared, bad stood still
in the production of steel, while the
output of the United States during
the last year was $4,000, 900 tons.
81 expect to see this output in-
creased to more than 10000, 900 tons
in 1916" Mr., Schwab said. "In 1901
I built the first steel RAILROAD car and
now more than 5000, 900 tons of steel
are going into the construction of
these cars"
''I am a belieerv in proft sharing
with department heads aAd with
workmen who by their personal eff
forts add to the profits OF an. enter
prise either by economics or by in
creased output. 1t has been the
qualification of my life that 1 have
been able to make money for young
men by bringing out of them their
latent possibilities. If an assistant or
an employe can by his oYn efforts
add to the prosperity of &. concern he
should share in that prosperity

THE RAILROAD VIEW

The eight-hour day would in
crease operating expenses 20 per-
cent. to 40 per cent.
Because of wage increases be-
tween 1910 and 1914, $23S, ,000, 900
was added to payrolls for the same
number of men.
The proposed schedule would be,
in effect, an increase of 20 per cent.
in freight speed basis for wage
computing.
1t would mean an increase of
S71z per cent. in overtime rate.
About 100000 other employees
would get no benefit.
The $4,000 stockholders of the
railways of the country now get
less than. 2 per cent. of gross earn
ings.
Employees now get 45.3 per cent.
of gross earnings.
Employees involved, although
numbering only 1 per cent. of the
railway army, now absorb 2S per
cent. of the railways payroll of
S1,5O0, 10000 a year.
The money necessary to meet
this demand could be obtained only
by either a reduction of wages of
other employees or by reduced pay
ments of interest and dividends,
or by curtailing betterment eX-
penditures needed by the public or
by increased passenger and freight
rates.

THE BRoTHERHooD VIEW

The eight-hour demand Is fair;
we believe it can be adopted with
no greater inconvenience than ac-
companied its Introduction in the
other employments.
Overtime in road service is due
almost wholly to the practice of
overlooking trains so that they can
not make their mileage within their
time limits. The railroads are 40
ing this for profit.
The shorter work day is the only
proposition upon which the men
are voting. If the railroads de-
sire to test their sincerity let them
establish an eight-hour day so the
men do not have to make q minute
of overtime.
Forty-five per cent. of the earn
1ngs are paid in wages" it is said:
what interests the railroad employe
is not the bulk sum, but the
amount that goes to each man.
We are asked whether the rail-
roads should seek another increase
in rates. The men are not ask
ing for more money; they are ask
ing for a shorter work day. If
the railroads insist on a longer dav
then 1t will mean more pay.
We are asked whether the rail
roads should reduce interest or
dividend payments. That is a mat
ter with which the employees have
nothing to do.

attempted to make them the butt of
practical joke. The other day an

hurt, the voice explained. When the
officers reached the house they were
met by a much surprised foreigner
who explained that his wife was i'll
and in care of a physician. Blaming
some meddler in the neighborhood the
officers made no arrests.

HUGH COMBINES
CONTROL TRADE
Three-fourths Capacity of
Country Lodged in Mergers;
Prices Still Soar

In its weekly review of the steel
trades to-day the Iron Age says:
With further price advances, and
the end not yet In sight, Withdrawals
and postponement of new steel-taking
projects occur but they are as moth
ing in comparison with the avalanche
OF inquiries which are expected in
early weeks from nonbelligerent ma
lions. The vague and general feelers
from these sources are fast giving way
TO requests specific as to kind, amount
and delivery. They come from quar-
ters which have beenewaiting, for one
reason and another, until the war
should close, and their needs are ur-
gent. The peace and war demands
from the outside thus are calculated
TO keep the mills busy If domestic con-
sumers are not willing to pay present
nigh prices. There are number who
nave counted on softer prices in the
last part of the year, but the trend of
recent weeks has convinced some large
consumers they have overstayed.
The grouping of large independent
steel companies-like the MidVale-
worth Brothers. Cambria merger and
tne Bethlehem- Pennsylvania union
is OF no effect at the moment on mar
ket condltion, but 1t is, of course, rec
osnlzed that over ree-quarters of the
steel-making capacity of the country
VIII be lodged with six or seven COM
panles. This does not warrant, how
ever, the expectation that in slack
times competition will be any the less
severe.
SALES for export contain some not
aDle items. No less than, 10000 tons
of plain wire for France is reported
from Chicago. For Africa, America
mas taken 10000 tons of rails, accord
ing to our London cable. A Russian
inquiry is for 10000 axles complete
with the wheels, through the long ex-
pected additional Russian purchase of
railroad cars has not been consum-
mated, nor the $4,000 tons of rails
and $4,000 tons of track access cries.
That plant extensions and generally
small work have been the order in the
fabricated steel industry and are an
explanation of the heavy demand that
was hardly diseernible in the absence
OF JOBS OF spectacular size is shown in
the report from Chicago that the aver
age number of tons on contracts taken
in the last six months was lis against
l15 tons for the six months preceding,
AS an average of S71a per cent of the
capacity of the bridge and structural
shops was put under contract over the
last six months, and Ga per cent. for
the half year preceding, it follows that
there were twice as many jobs taken
In the one period as in the earlier"
