Wage Reduction
Is Announced in
Steel Industry
Cut to Become Effective May
l6-Abandonment of -.
Hour Day Not Practical
At Present.

New York, May 3.-A reduction
Of about 20 per cent lin wages foi
day labor /, .ectiye May 10, and an
equitable I .justment of other rates,
including alaries, was announced by
Ebert Il. Gary of the board of
director OF the United States Steel
corpor ton. 1t is estimated between
1900 } and 175,000 employees will
be a .fected.
Mr.. Gary also stated that the cor
pr ration had found no practicable
Tasis for the entire abandonment
OF the 12-hour day in the immediate
future. He added that the 12hour
shift had been eliminated in certain
departments and that efforts would
be continued with the expectation
OF eliminating this feature within the
next year.
During 1920 the average wage Of
employees was $6o6 as against $6,l2
in 1919, according to corporation
figures. Total salaries and wages
disbursed by the steel corporation
in 1920, when employees numbered
10000, aggregated 1881, ,556,925.
On the basis of the reduction
corporation officials estimated the
average cut in wages at approxi-
mately ST 40 a day per man. Roughly
this will effect a reduction in the
pay roll, calculated on the present
number of employees, of not less
than $150,000,000 annually.
Reduction in the prices of certain
products averaging approximately
81 ton, were announced by Mr..
Gary on April II.
The heaviest reductions were re
corded in tin plates, which dropped
from $40 to SIPS ton, while the
minimum decrease affected four by
four and heavier billets which de-
clined from $3.50 to S37 ton.

Hoover Urges
Action to Check -,
German Trade
Secretary of Commerce Favors
Tariff 'of Large Order to
Protect United States
Industries.

Washington, May 5.-Inlmediate
congressional action to check the
inroads OF German foreign trade in
the United States was urged by Sec
cretary Hoover before the house
ways and means committee. A re-
vived German commerce, he said,
was driving certain American lines
out of business.
He declared for a protective tar
if "of large order and spoke IA
vorably of the contemplated change
in policy as the basis of assessing
import duties. The committee is
considering establishment of an
American standard of valuation to
supplant the system of levying tar
if ON the value of imports in the
land of production.
Such a plan, Mr.. Hoover said,
appeared to be the only solution to
the problem of meeting sales by
Germany and other foreign countries,
whose currency is badly deprecated.
Subsidizing Industries.
Germany continues the policy of
indirectly subsidizing her industries,
Mr.. Hoover said, adding that on the
basis of reports by federal agents
the subsidy amounted to around 50
per cent of the production costs.
The methods pursued in subsidiz-
mo the industries of GERMANY, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hoover, include a
heavy contribution to the railroads
and other public utilities, expenses
for services, which Justly should be
assessed through channels not gov
ernmental" Many local subsidies
exist, he added. all OF which have
all indirect effect on the selling
prices OF German commodities
abroad.
The Germans accomplish the pro-
gram by the issue of unlimited pa
per currency, Mr.. Hoover said. He
expressed the belief, however, that
this policy would lead to inevitable
disaster
Cheap Production.
He made it plain that while sub
sides were continued the German
industrial nation was placed solidly
in a position for cheap production.
He cited steel prices quoted by Ger
man firms in neutral markets as SlZ
ton below American prices. Other
lines of American trade were sui
fering likewise outside of the United
States, he said.
The committee also heard other
arguments for and against the valu-
alton change. Members of the COM
mittee gave evidence of being by
no means agreeable to the question.

lection of veniremen began a week
ago Monday and it required two md
one-half days to get the jury. lax
ing of testimony was not ended until

defendants sprung surprise by

ment of counsel in the case and the
charge of the judge. Six men were
indicted in the Liberty bond scandal

for trial.
Joseph and Priddy were granted
a severance or separate trial. Nc
