FINED $50 FOR THEFT
 OF TOOLS FROM SHOP
Stanley Rule Workman In tended to Go Into Busi-
 ness in Europe.

Steve Topalion. an employe of the Stanley Rule and Level company was charged in police court this morning with the theft of builders tools to the value Of 349 from that plant, and was fined $50 and costs for his mis- demeanor. He was represented by Lawyer P. F. McDonough through whom he entered a plea of guilty. The attorney explained that his client was only technically guilty, having purchased all the tools either through his foreman or another employe of the concern. but should have known that the other employe had stolen the articles. Because of that fact, Mr. McDonough explained. he instructed his client to make such a plea.
 Arthur Jones and Charles Johnson, foremen for the concern. told the court that the accused had access to the stocks of tools in the packing department, having made daily trips 10 that room with boxes. MT. John son handled the sale of several arti- cles in the builders hardware line about a year ago. but had sold noth- ing to the man since that time, he said. The accused explains that the tools he did not purchase direct, he bought from q fellow employe named Joe" He had planned to return to the old country after stock ing up. and was to have opened up a business there.
 The accused. with another man. was arrested Wednesday night on East Main street near Center street when a suit case which he was car rying attracted the attention of the officer. Suspecting that the men were bootlegging. he placed them under arrest. An investigation of the source of the tool supply resulted in the theft charge.
 Charles Lapitski and Joseph Razun- kns, both Of 74 Woodland street, were fined sI0 and costs each for drunkenness. Policeman Hanford Dart arrested the men on Elm street last night, the former at 1o:45 and the latter one hour later.

Wage Cut on Which They Will Vote Averages 10 to 20 Per Cent.
UNIONS VOTE ON SCHEME
Whether or Not Action Is Favorable to Company's Plan Depends on Referendum of 6O,OOO to 75.OOO Men Employed in Industry.

Elizabeth. N. J., Jan. 29.-The proposal submitted by the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation to its em- ployes calls for wage reductions aver aging from 10 to 20 per cent, but provides for the payment of bonuses for efficiency and increased produc- ton.
 This was made known here today at the close of conferences between E. H. Ewertz, general manager of the Moore plant of the Bethlehem corpor- ation, and committees of employees.
 More For Hard Workers.
 The corporations proposal. submit ted with the idea of reducing produc- tion costs 25 per cent. is understood to be of a plan whereby greater eff ciency on the part of the individual workers will be rewarded in the pay envelope. The bonus for efficiency. it was stated, will amount to as much and in some cases more, than the wage cut.
 During the conferences production costs for each department, with ac- tual figures on each piece of work performed, were placed before the men and a comparison drawn with production costs in other yards.
