aries of all officers were s92,460.S35. or
about 25 per cent. of the total payroll Of

prised only 1T per cent of operating ex-
penses, totalling s5.s2e.Is7.474. and only
1.5 per cent. OF total earnings Of ss,225.-

I'm 1916 the average salary of a gen.
4eral officer was s4.50s.. and in 1920 It vas
s5,542. an increase OF 2o.7 per cent. In
1916 the average salary of a division

Between 1916 and 1920 the average
compensation Of employees increased 104

cent. more than in 1916 Since the adj
vances in salaries have been relatively

CUT IN EMPLOYMENT
HERE IS IT PER CENT.
Reserve Bank Report Shows
Wage Reductions Also of
5 to 25 Per Cent.

According to reports. representative
firms employing more than 100000 per-
sons have replied to a QUESTIONABLE on
the wage and employment situation
recently sent out by the twelve Federal
Reserve banks. The number OF em-
ployees. amount of payroll and the
changes In wage rates were chiefly
considered.
In the New York district, of 277 firms
addressed reports were received from
156. which employed on April /. 1921, a
total OF AIS 900 persons, as compared
with $4,000 on April 1, 1920. The
greatest reductions were IN iron and
steel, shipbuilding and machinery. In
only one industry-paper and paper
products. was the number of employees
larger this year than last.
The decrease of IL per cent in the
total number OF employed is less than
the decrease reported recently by the
New York State Industrial Commission.
whose reports cover factory workers
only, while the inquiry of the banks COW
cred railroads and public utilities as
well.
Some reduction in hourly or daily
rates OF pay had been made by half OF
the firms sending in reports The reduc-
tons ranged anywhere from 5 to % per
cent Nearly so per cent of the firms
making reductions did so on a Uniform
basis for nearly all OF their employees
throughout their plants.
Wsen a differention was made. the
greatest reductions usually occurred
among unslSilled workers, whose wages
had risen most during the war period.
Other bases for determining rates of re-
duction were length of service type of
operation performed. or the extent to
which the worker was affected by part
time arrangements. The office force was
frequently not included in wage reduc-
tions.
Although there have been extensive re-
ductions IN wage rates, the average
weekly earnings per employee as COM
puted from aggregate payroll figures
show almost no change from April l.
1920, TO April l. 1921. On both dates
average earnings We're slightly over $40
a week.

EX-MESSENGER BOY IS
EXCHANGE MEMBER
William Brondriss Climbs IN
% Years to $9I 900 Seat.

There came to light yesterday the
story OF the rise of William Brandriss
from telegraph messenger boy TO a
member of the Stock Exchange with a
seat for which he paid $4,000. In
twenty-three years Brandriss has held
two jobs. The first he kept year and
the other he still has-or had yester-
day when official announcement was
made that he had bought the New York
Stock Exchange seat OF John NJ. An
derson. deceased.
The new Stock Exchange member
started at 13 as messenger at 81 a week.
Then he came under the notice of j. ].
Manning, the largest individual trader
on the floor of the New York Stock Ex-
change, who was impressed by the lad
and offered a job to him as office boy In
the Manning establishment. The youth
accepted, and in few years had worked
himself up from his SIS office boys job to
that OF Office manager. which he has
held down ever since.
Mr.. Brandriss is SO years old and
since leaving school. twenty-three years
ago, he has devoted a great portion of
his leisure hours to educating himself
and fitting himself for tho work he has
undertaken.

In his remarks to stockholders, u. =.
LOOMS, president, says In part:
There has been a recent tendency to
find q connection between the present
business depression and the increased
transportation charges. A study of the
situation. however, indicates rather that
business conditions merely are rejecting
the general disorganization and unsettle-
ment following the war and, while some
rate reductions may be possible as the
result OF decreased operating costs. no
general reduction in transportation
charges should be made II the railroads
are to furnish the facilities and high
standard of service the commerce OF the
country demands.
I'VE feel that the transportation act
has not had a fair trial up to this time.
principally because of the decline in vol
ume of traffic.
ION December s, 1920, the Supreme
Court of the United States declared that
the railroad company must divest itself
of the ownership OF the Lehigh Valley
Coal Company and Coke Bros. & Co.,
mo. This decision grew out OF suit
instituted nearly seven years ago by the
United States Government, which al
legged such ownership to be In violation
of the Sherman antitrust act
CONFORMING to this decision, on jan
uary 10, 1921, the boards OF directors
and officers of the railroad company and
the two coal mining companies were
changed, eliminating interlocking direc-
tors and officers. Each company now
has separate officers and boards of d.
rectors The management is at present
earnestly engaged in formulating a plan,
which it is hoped will be satisfactory to
the court. for the segregation of these
valuable properties and in doing so is
keeping constantly in mind the necessity
of protecting the interests of the stock
holders"
