Big REDUCTION IN
SALARIES ANNOUNCED
Steel Corporation Announces Wage
Cut OF approximately 20 Per
Cent. Effective May 10.

New York, May 4. - A reduction Of
about twenty per cent. in wages fol
day labor, effective on May 16, and an
equitable adjustment of other rates
including salaries, at the plants of the
United States Steel Corporation was
announced Tuesday night by Ebert H
Gary, Chairman of the corporations
Board of Directors. 1t is estimated
that between 100000 and 175,OOO en-
ployees of the corporation will be af-
fected by the cut
Mr.. Gair also said that the corpora
ton had been unable to find practic-
able basis for the entire abandonment
Of the twelve-hour day, or turn, in the
immediate future. He also said that
the twelve-hour shift already had been
eliminated in certain departments and
that efforts would be continued with
the expectation Of entirely eliminating
this feature within the next year. Mr..
Gary expressed the opinion that he did
not believe the corporation could sat
isfy the employees with any shorter
limit,
On the basis of the reduction last
night corporation officials estimated
the average cut in wages at approx
mately $1.4O DAY per man. Roughly
this will affect a reduction in the pay
roll, calculated on the present num-
Der of employees of not less than
$3.50 100000 annually.

KENTUCKY,S TOBACCO GROWING
RECORD DEFENDED BY STANLEY

Washington, May 4. - Senators A
0. Stanley and Lee S. Oyerman had a
spirited debate in the Senate Tuesday
regarding the production of tobacco in
their respective state. Senator Over
man made the statement that North
Carolina raised more tobacco than any
other state, and Senator Stanley was
on his feet in an instant in defense OF
Kentucky. He showed from official
figures that Kentucky grows about
100000 pounds out of total OF
1900, 100000 grown in the entire CONN.,
try.
Senator Overman good naturedly
admitted that he did not know just
how much was grown in North Caro-
lima, but that he would at least claim
second place for that state, and sena-
tor Stanley let it go at that.

GOMPERS ENDORSES
WORK OF SALVATION
army IN AMERICA
Head Of Labor Organization Praises
Splendid Work Of the Saliva.
tlOn Army's Agents.

Brigadier Herbert Roberts, Divi.
sional Commander OF the Salvation
Army for Western Ohio and Kentucky
who Is supervising the work of or
ganizing financial campaign for the
Army in this vicinity, has just been
notified that Sampel Gompers, Presi-
dent of the American Federation OF
Labor, has given his unqualified in
dorsement Of the campaign. Mr..
Gompers wrote Brigadier Roberts as
follows:
| Although score of matters OF
transcendent Importance were before
me, / concentrated long enough on
the great work Of this organization to
renew in my mind the many first-hand
evidences coming under my observa-
ton of the service rendered by them.
s"From doughnuts to the fatherhood
Of God and the brotherhood of man,
their work, both over there during the
war and here during time Of peace
seems to approach the welfare of men
here and now rather than deal alto
gether with the sweet bye and bye.
"This work among those burdened
down under the crushing weight and
pain of misfortune and sickness is
Just simply service without pretense--
Just good practical service to man
kind. In my Judgment. the Salvation
Army deserves every encouragement
for the service they have rendered and
are rendering"
Representatives of the Salvation
Army will form Community Advisory
Boards to determine the financial
needs of each locality and how to
raise the money. These boards, COM
posed of leading citizens, will be the
Judges of the communities needs,
while the expert Salvationists will at
all times volunteer to lend their ex-
pert services, which they demonstrate
ed during the World War, in solving
each individual social problem. Fhe
Salvation Army plans to extend its
Home Service program for 1921 from
the cities to small towns and the coun-
try, in an effort to reach every nome
in the nation that needs its aid.
