8 PAY BOOSTS SINCE WAR

The United States Steel Corporation
yesterday announced a reduction Of
approximately 20 per cent. in wages
in its plants, effective May 16. This is
for day labor. Other rates. including
salaries, also are to undergo readJust-
ment. Judge Z. II. Gary. chairman of
the board of directors of the corpora
ton, made the announcement follow
ing the regular weekly meeting of the
finance committee.
The cut in the wages Of day labor
will affect from 125, 900 to 10000 men
now in the employment of the Steel
Corporation and will mean saw
ing to the corporation, on the basis
Of last years operations, of nearly
s120. 100000 This is the first time
since 1904 that the Steel Corporation
has reduced wages. and the second
time in the history of the company.
"The wage rates OF day labor at the
manufacturing plants OF the Steel Cor
poration,' Judge Gary's statement read.
have been decreased about 20 per cent.
to become effective May I6. Other rates,
including salaries. will be equitably ad-
Justed. After long and painstaking ef-
fort we have not been able to find a
practicable basis for the entire abandon
ment OF the twelve hour day. or turn.
in the immediate future. However. we
have already eliminated the twelve hour
day in certain departments, and shall
continue our efforts in this direction
with the hope and expectation OF max
ing the elimination Of the twelve hour
day complete during the next year. We
do not believe we can satisfy our en-
| ployees with any shorter limit"
Wage Cut Expected.
The action Of the corporation In re-
| ducing wages at this time does not
come as q surprise, for 1t has been
known for some time that such an an
nouncement was probable. The last

poration showing net earnings of only

Judge Gary at the annual meeting OF the
corporation. stated that wage rates
made up nearly 90 per cent os lne cost
of manufacturing steel. and 1t was ad-

cost of steel making must be made in
wages to be- very effective. The pres
ent reduction will cut the cost of max
Ing steel some IL or IS per cent
From the beginning Of the war up to
February Of last year the corporation
made nine separate general advances In
wages. In addition to which coal mine
workers employed by the corporation
and railroad workers on the company's

November OF last year.

that came from both the British and
the French headquarters at the end
of another five hour conference OF the
Supreme Council to-day. There will be
another meeting of the council to-
morrow, to which the Reparation Com
mission has been summoned from
Paris. when the final details OF the
financial plan will be presented In
documentary form. Premier BRAND
said to-day he expected to leave here
for Paris not later than tomorrow.
The ultimatum OF the Allies will be
sent to Berlin by the Reparation Com
mission not later than May and will
expire six days after.
The total amount which Germany
will be notified she must pay has been
raised to $3.50, ,000, 900 (about 1876, ,0oo,-
100000 marks gold). including Bel
GUMS special claim covering her debts
to the Allies. This entire amount is to
be covered by bonds to guarantee Ger
many's payment of 100000. 900 (2,o00,-
900, 900 marlSs) annually and OF rs per
cent. tax on her exports. Bonds to
the amount of f600. 100000 (about H.

gold) win be issued as Germany shows
her capacity TO pay as shown by the
amount the tax on exports produces.
Export Tax Increased.
The provision stands for the collec-
ton Of E10o, 100000 (about 100000
900 marks gold) annually, but the ex-
port tax has been increased to 2s per
cent. Of the total German exports

will be earmarked for interest on that
portion of the debt not covered by an

Secretary OF State Hughes's note
stating Germanys reparation pro-
posals we're unacceptable and advis-
ing Berlin to communicate direct with
the Allies. has increased the uncer-
tainty felt here.
In some circles the opinion to-day
was that the American hint might
have been the result OF team work
between Washington and London and
that II was wiser for Germany to fall
in line with the suggestion by Mr..
Hughes rather than let the reparatton
crisis reach the state where there
would be an ultimatum from the AL
lies.
But those believing TO see evidence
Of cooperation between Washington
and London have not even an informal
word from either city as to what form
OF a new offer might be regarded as
suitable. The hrens Zeftung says:
Now that the French are ready 70
cross the Rhine it would be futile to
make fresh counter proposals. They
would be met with scorn and mock
cry"
Meanwhile the books are being bal
anced on the result for Germany OF
her appeal to America. AS the situa-
ton now stands, some persons are
inclined to believe that the appeal will
serve to hasten Americas participa-
ton in the reparation question. and,
as Germany's first interest lies in
bringing America back again into the
Preparations Commission, IL this is
achieved the failure OF the mediation
move n itself is regarded as not i'm
portant.
