FEE TOTAL
OF FORTY MILLION
Government Agents Say 70
Per Cent of Firms Raided
Pay Commissions.

Seventy per cent Of the several hun
business offices were raided Monday
by government agents to obtain evil
dence Of contingent fee agreements
held contracts on which commissions
had or would be paid. Department of
Justice officials announced today after
receiving reports from all of the raids.
1t was estimated that contingent fees
on outstanding contracts of the gov
ernment might run as high as s40,-
100000.
Supported by Evidence.
The extent Of the practice. as
shown by these reports, supported by
evidence IN the form of correspond
ence and documents. is even greater
than had been supposed by the De-
partment of Justice before attempt
ing the roundup. The percentage of
contingent fee contracts will not be
as much as 70 per cent. however, it
was explained. since the raids were
directed only against concerns sus-
pected in advance of dealing with
contract brokers. About $4,000 manu-
IaCCuTeFS now nave government or
ders, and nearly 100000 contracts are
made every year.
Manufacturers employing regular
salesmen on commission to solicit gov
ernment orders will be forced to pay
straight salaries to these men under
the new covenant now contained in
most contracts. This pledges the con-
tractor not to pay contingent fees or
and not to sublet con-
tract.
Sublet; Law Violated.
As an example OF the cost to the
government Of past commission fee
practices, several orders containing at
least Is per cent Of unnecessary profit
were cited today. These involved the
payment of per cent commission to
the contract agent and 10 per cent
profit to the firms which got the con-
tracts and subsequently sublet them in
of the law to other concerns
which are presumed to have made rea-
sonable profits in addition.

Furthermore, it is impossible to
forget that during the Boxer trouble
German troops were ordered not to
give quarter while the invasion of the
imperial palace by German soldiers
was a disgrace unparalleled in our
