Washington, April 11.-For the

ugal, has established q naval base

Guns have been landed to begin

Will serve as an important homing
station for American airplanes, a
number of which already have been

Negotiations in Progress
Negotiations now are in progress
between the State Department and
the Portuguese government to insure
full cooperation between American
naval forces and the local authori-
ties of Portugal on the islands for
the adequate defense of the station.
This action will simplify the task of
protecting the great trade routes, not
only to southern Europe and the
Mediterranean, but also returning
traffic to South America and South
ern Gulf ports in the United States.
Portugal not only was willing to
enter the arrangement but was eager
to see it perfected that her own lines
of communication to her colonial
possessions would be covered. The

BONUS HELPFUL
TO EMPLOYEES
Schwab Declares System Re
sponSible For Good Show
ing of Plants

The bonus system is responsible
for the unusual efforts of all en-
ployes of the plants of the Bethle-
hem Steel Company, including the
Steelton plant, to aid the govern
ment, Charles M. Schwab. chairman
of the board of directors, declares.
Effects of the bonus system are
evident at the local plant, all en-
ployes working hard to increase their
daily wage through this method. The
bonus system which is used in many
departments of the local plant has
without a doubt stimulated the pro-
duction of the local plant, in the
opinion of officials of the local plant.
Mr.. Schwab talking after the eu-
nual meeting of the directors of the
company held at Newark, n. j., re-
Gently declared that the company's S
output lis showing a splendid i'm
provement, as compared with the
previous earlier months in the year,
owing to the improvement in trans
portation facilities"
steel plants are now running at
so per cent. capacity, compared With
only so per cent. in January" said
Mr.. Schwab. "Our shipbuilding de-
partments are running at 100 per
cent. capacity. Practically all our
plants are working for the United
States government and the allies"
f. G. Grace, president of the cor
poration, presided over the meet
ing, at the opening of which about
twenty-five stockholders were pres
ent. Mr.. Schwab did not address the
stockholders. He told reporters that
the bonus plan had stimulated pro-
duction.
He said the bonus system was re-
sponsible for the unusual efforts of
all employees of the plant to aid the
government. He declared that
though transportation facilities were
improving, he could not say the same
of labor. In 1917 $3,913,SSS.07, or
six per cent. of the total earnings,
was paid in bonuses.
