the industry are undertaking, at q
great cost. the development of proc

ties" Mr.. Potts declared. 1.-THE man.
Sanese reserves in the United States
will last the steel industry as long
as the present known high-grade de-
posits of iron ore will last the steel
industry.
"The present known reserves of
hish-grade iron ore, based upon the
constantly expanding requirements of
the steel industry. will be exhausted
in twenty years. and the merchantable
grades of iron ore from the great
mines of Minnesota will. at the pres-
ent rate of depletion, be practically
exhausted within the next fifteen
years unless new discoveries are
made.
The Minnesota iron mines are now

|CHARWOMEN EARN
MORE THAN CLERKS
Situation Is Expected to Be
Shown by Investigation
sMr. Hays Ordered.

Charwomen at the Washington city
post Office earn more than clerks who
have been with the Post once De-
partment for ten years.
This II one Of the facts expected to
be revealed as the result Of an inves-
tigation which Postmaster General
Hays is causing to be made into the
salaries and personnel Of the workers
in the big building where he is To-
Gated.
Discrimination I'm Pay.
Ever since Congress reclassified the
service, granting increased salaries to
postal workers throughout the coun-
try, clerks in the Post Office Depart
ment proper feel there has been some
discrimination.
They were told that when Congress
reclassided the great bulk of the civil
service employees in the other depart
ments their turn would come, but SO
far they have seen no evidence of any
reclassihcation coming their way.
Postmaster General Hays asked DR..
Lee Frankel, in charge OF the welfsre
the matter, and under the direction of
maEe. '''' 81 '''''' survey 20 '''A
Take Up New Matters.
Data collected by the old reclassi-
fication commission are being used
to some extent. but the bulk of the
work will be strictly new. and 10 ex-
pected to bring out in q striking way
the differences between salaries paid
in the Post Office Department build
ing proper and the rest of the post
office service. which includes every
post office, large and small, through
out the United States.
The postal reclassiflcation, extended
to nearly 100000 postal workers. has
but tended to make the few thousand
in the department feel more than
ever the inadeQuacy of their salaries,
it was pointed out today.
Many clerks in the department
proper have sought positions in the
Washington city post Office, feeling
that they have q better chance for
advancement there than in the main
department building.
