U. S. Steel Cuts Wage Scale
For Third Time This Year
Gary Announces Reduction Placing Mill Workers
on 3O-Cents-an-Hour Basis, to Become
Effective August %

Ebert H. Gary, chairman of tho
United States Steel Corporation, an
nounced yesterday that another reduc
ton in the wage rates of mill workers
would become effective on August 20,
bringing the pay down to 80 cents an
hour. This will mark the second straight
pay cut since last spring, when the
downward readjustment began with a
reduction of 20 per cent on May l6. On
July 16 the corporation announced that
the time and half for overtime" put
into effect during the war had been
eliminated, which was considered
equivalent to a wage reduction Of 16
per cent where the men were working
twelve hours day.
Judge Gary attributed the determi-
nation Of the Steel Corporation to
lower wages again to the prevailing
low prices for steel compared with the
costs of production. His statement
said:
ain view of the prevailing low SELL
ing prices Of steel as compared to costs
OF production. it is necessary to make
reductions in wage rates, and therefore
we will recommend to subsidiary COM
panies that the general rates of day
labor be decreased to 80 cents an hour.
to become effective on Monday, August

20, and that other wages and salaries
be equitably adjusted'
In announcing the latest reduction In
the pay envelopes Of its day laborers
the Steel Corporation has continued its
policy of having cuts in wages follow
rather than precede reductions in
prices.
The first price cut by the Steel Cor
poration since it agreed to adhere to
the so-called Industrial Board prices
in March, 1919, was announced on April
II, when reductions ranging from $3.50
to $15 ton we're put into effect. The
average cut was about 81 a ton, or II
per cent. This was followed by the 20
per cent wage cut on May 16. The price
reduction IN July ranged from Sd to
$40 ton. Since then Judge Gary has
stated that the corporation mas met oil
competitive cuts made by the independ-
ent companies.
The average price Of leading steel
products is now placed at S49.60 ton.
compared with pre-war average of
S38 a ton. The peak average was
reached in 1920, when it rose to $85 a
ton. Prior to the May reduction in
wages day laborers of the Steel Cor
poration were paid at the rate of as
cents an hour, which was the high level
reached in the imitation following tho
war.

Final Draft of Treaty to
90 Direct to Reichstag {;
No Party Debate Will
Be Held Before Vote
Ample Majority Assured
Berlin Expects Washington
to Act at Same Time
Ratification Is Mad G

BERLIN, Aug. 19 (By The Associate
ss).-Unless unexpected complica-
tions develop in the next few days, q
formal peace treaty with the United
States will be signed by the German
government next week. Chancellor
Wirth's confidential discussions with
the Parliamentary leaders of all par
ties, with the exception OF the Com
munists, now are concluded, and as 3
result of these exchanges of opinion
and consultations with other influen-
tial persons outside Parliament, the
government is assured an ample ma
jority in the Reichstag when the treaty,
which now is being given its final
draft, comes up for the ratifying vote
before that body.
Ellis Loring Dresel, the American
Comm issioner in Berlin and DR.. Fried
rich Rcsen, the Foreign Minister, have
agreed on the fundamentals, and the
document only awaits approval from
Washington. This is expected to arrive
in q day or two.
The treaty will not be discussed by
the Foreign Relations Committee, but
will 60 direct from the Cabinet to
plenary session of the Reichstag.
where the Chancellor will present it
with the governments statement and
the necessary elucidations He will
then request that it be ratified without
party debate
This request, it is believed. will be
acceded to even by the parties not in
cluded in the coalition group as an act
OF courtesy to the government, all Of
them, with the exception of the Com
munists, considering the government
entitled to that accommodation in view
of the nature of the issue and the ma
tion's desire to have relations between
the two countries restored without fur
ther delay.
This is one Of the necessary evils
growing out of the war which we are
glad to swallow" said a well-known
Relchstag leader. discussing the treaty
to-day. He added that the parties
were given DR.. Wirths assurance that
the Porter-krox resolution, on which
the treaty is based, contained no con-
ditions or penalties incompatible with
the honor of Germany.
SO far as can be learned the treaty
about to be concluded through the
mediation of Mr.. Drese will be gen
eral in outline. No date has been fixed
for the Reichstag vote. but it is he 1
ieved the government will endeavor
to have the event take place stimuli
taneously with action by the United
States Senate.
Aside from the Reichstag's approval,
the treaty must also be ratified by the
Reichsrat.
New names are being mentioned as
possible appointees to the ambassador
ship to the United States. Among
those most recently brought forward
is that Of Professor Gerhart Won
Schulze- -Gaevernitz. who occupies the
char of political economy at Freiburg

Lujo Brentano. who recently declined
to have his name considered for the
post at Washington, recommended Pro

politan Records Are Be-

to a Sudden Conclusion
500, 1000 Believed Intact
Prisoner Accused of Pur-
chasing Auto With Cash
He Obtained Ingeniouslv

Arthur E. Ollson, Of 241 Eighty-ninth
Street, Brooklyn who is twenty-six
years old and employed as a clerk by
the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany, was brought back from his vaca-
tion motor trip by detectives last night
and locked up at Police Headquarters
charged with forgery. He is alleged to
have stolen 100000 since July 26.
Olson is married and has two chill
dren. Recently he bought an automo-
bile, not Of the most expensive make
but car in which no clerk need feel
ashamed to take the road. He and his
family motored up to Stamford, N. Y,
in it Saturday, when Ollson's vacation
started.
He went on his trip, it is believed, in
blissful ignorance Of the fact that the
handwriting on warrants representing
thousands of dollars was under sus~
picion and being examined by experts
at the request Of the life insurance
company.
AS a result of the experts reports
Detectives Dumphy, of the Old Slip
police station, and Wagner, of the
Pinkerton agency, went to Stamford
yesterday.
Dignified Resentment
They found Ollson without difficulty.
and without letting other vacatonsts
at the resort where he was stopping
learn their errand, they Informed him
that the jig was up and he would have
to come back to New York. Ollson
is said to have assumed an air of dig
nifcd resentment and cut short his
recreation period without any explana-
ton to the friends he had made at the
hotel.
His dignifed silence was maintained
all the way to New York, the detectives
said, but when the dome of Headquar-
ters loomed directly ahead, they said
to reply freely to the questions they
had been putting to him for hours.
He told them, they said, that it was
true he had taken about 100000 of
the company's funds by means of
forged warrants, but fully 100000 of
it was still intact, either credited to
his account in banks or locked up as
cash or securities in safe deposit boxes
he had rented
SO far as officials of the company
can learn no money was obtained fraud
ulently until July 26. On that date
Olson is alleged to have deposited at
the Chatham and PheniX National
Bank, 14s Broadway, $4,000 which he
had obtained by forging a warrant for
that amount. The money is said to
have been deposited by Ollson in the
name Of G. Fred Johnson, shoe man
ufacturer.
That is the only transaction men
toned specifically on the blotter at
Police Headquarters against the young
clerk. There are alleged to have been
at least two others, similar in nature,

Methods used by members Of the

test from William Fellowes Morgan
president OF the Merchants Associa.
ton, on behalf of that organization
charging the employment of pressure
and coercion in disposing of tickets fol-
this event. and declaring that direct
solicitation by police officers should
either be prohibited or carefully

In Mr.. Morgan's communication was
quoted letter received by him from g
member of the association citing spe.

power. This correspondent declare
that in all he was forced to purchase
more than 100 tickets last year.

Text of Morgan Letter
Mr.. Morgan's correspondence fol-
lows:
"At various times in the past, and
particularly in connection with the
sale Of Field Day tickets, this asso.
ciation received from a number of its
members complaints as to the pressure
brought to bear upon them by police
officers to induce the purchase of such
tickets. We have just received from
one Of our members a letter of similar
purport, which indicates that the OBJ
jectionable methods hitherto com
planned of are again in use by at least
some members Of the police force. We
quote as follows from our CORE
spondent's letter:
"'Allow me to bring to your atten-
teton the fact that the police are en-
gagged in selling Field Day tickets
again. The selling Of these tickets is
nuisance to the public and must in
terfere with the work these men are
supposed to do.
"'On Saturday and Sunday the men
stationed on Central Avenue, at the
entrance to Woodlawn Cemetery, held
up every car they could actually
force purchase of tickets. Every traffic
officer has bunch Of tickets in his
hand and invites purchase from auto
mobilsts An officer waited twenty
minutes at my home door and tackled
me when came down to take my
automobile. Last year the captain of

captain virtually demanding that buy
fifty tickets. He was so insistent that
finally took twenty, and all told l
