u. S. Steel to Again
Cut Wages Workers

New York. Aug. 19.-Another re-
duction in wages by the United States
Steel Corporation from 81 to 80 cents
per hour effective August 90 was an
nounced today. Chairman Ebert H.
Gary issued the following statement:
I'm 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 sub
sidiary companies that the general
rates of day labor be decreased to
thirty cents per hour. f. become eff
fective on August 30, and that the
other wages and salaries be equitably
adjusted"
This is practically the third cut in
wages made by the u. s. Steel Cor
poration so far this year.
In May 90 per cent. reduction was
made and in July the corporation
eliminated extra pay for overtime
amounting roughly to a ten per cent
cut in wages.

DISARMAMENT OR
RUIN FOR EUROPEANS
view OF BRYCE

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. 10
Europe faces the alternative of re-
duction of armament or ruin, Wis.,
count James Bryce asserted in a lee
ture at the Institute of Politics here
tonight. "As the greater European
countries are already beggared by
the last war" he said lit is plain
that there will be ere long ruined by
the continuance of expenditure on
the present war scale. They ought
therefore to welcome the invitation
which has proceeded from the Unit
ed States to a conference on the sub
ject, as it has already been welcom-
ed by the people of Britain and the
British dominion everywhere.
He said that only an agreement
between the great powers held out
any hope of armament reduction.

HOPE OF ANTI
BEER BILL PASSAGE
EARLY NEXT WEEK

Washington, Aug. 19---Senate and
House conferees were reported to-
night to be virtually agreed on con-
tested points in the anti beer bill
and hopeful of final enactment of
the measure prior to the recess set
for next Wedne sday.
While the conferees declined to
indicate the nature of the agree
ment, their practical adjustment of
differences was taken to mean at
least partial rejection of the Stan
ley amendment designed to protect
the home against indiscriminate
search for liquor, in view of the
known desire of representative Vol
stead, head of the House managers
to throw the beer bill overheard"
rather than accept the amendment
as originally drawn, and passed
unanimously by the Senate.
That part of the Stanley proposal,
relating to a search of a mans
dwelling. was said to have been re-
tanned, however. Mr.. Volstead's chief
objection to it as a whole was based
on the ground that to require war
other property. would make rigid
enforcement of national prohibition
ineffective
When Sen. Sterlin. Rep. South
Dakota, left his office for the night
he announced that there was strong
probability of agreement Later he
conferred with Mr.. Nolstead and the
latter declared that unless there
were unexpected overnight develop
ments the conference report would
be ready and signed tomorrow.
Although both Sen. Sterling and
Mr.. Nolstead were determined to
press for early action on the confer
ence report in event it's presenta-
ton to the Senate tomorrow. they
expressed some doubt as to their
ability to obtain a vote by both
Houses IN time to send it to the
president on Wednesday.
AS explained by one of the con-
ferees, the proposed compromise is
on the basis of about an even split
on the Stanley amendment. part of
Whlch VIII be retained and the 9TH
Ter part rejected. MIR. Nolstead. how
ever has held firm to his determina-
ton not to accept the provision re-
curing a warrant to search auto
mobiles, for example, contending
that they are the heart of the boot
Logging traffic In standing out for
elimination of this feature of the
amendment, House prohibition lead
ers admitted the possibility of de-
clded senate opposition, but despite
that they were said to be unwilling
to take it as q whole.

the icy winter of the Far North will

dom started away from Wiscasset,
Governor Baxter and party were
present to wish Macmillan God
speed. and Macmillan promised to
send word to the Governor when he
reached the last outpost of civiliZa-
ton. The following letter was just
arrived at the Governors Office and
the people of Maine will be interest
ed to know that so far everything
has gone wCll with Captain MacMil-
Ian:
After several interesting eXper-
fences we have reached what may be
called our last outpost of civiliza-
ton. I have taken on our last pro-
visions and fresh water and am now
awaiting weather to clear before
proceeding northward to Hopedale,
the first Eskimo settlement. where l
hope to add to my personnel a good
Eskimo boy.
1T is two above freezing here to-
day with many icebergs in sight,
but no drift ice to bother us on the
coast according to wireless reports.

forget it, l wish you the greatest

Governor Baxter hopes to be the
first one to greet Mac MILAN when he
returns homo from the North next

Camp DeVens, Aug. 16.-(SpeciaD. -
Never before in peace times has there
been such a large regiment of Maine
men on tour of duty as is now at
Camp Devens. Reports compiled at
regimental headquarters today show
that with the Maine Quartermaster
Corps there are nearly 1900 officers
and men here.
Hundreds of the soldiers are young

and many more who are still in their
teens Veterans of the world war
predominant among the officers and
wound stripes and service stripes may
be seen on the arms OF officers and
men in every organization. Officers
of the regular army who have been as
signed to instruct the Maine men in
their duties-and some of these are
natives of Maine-have expressed
amazcment at the number Of former
service men who have gone back into
the National Guard and an equal
amazcment at the wonderful adapta-
bility being shown by the men.
Hour after hour are the men drill
ing. on the range, in the field and at
special schools of instruction. All are
not learning with equal readiness.
Some of the men never did bit Of
drilling before coming to camp and
three of the companies have not been
organized even a month. One of them
was just a week old Wednesday.

Observation-Disclosures has laid out a
course of study that is bringing the
men right up to the mark. Regular

Vote on Measure Scheduled for Late
This Atternoon--Big Raft Of Amend
ments Accepted During Fridays
Session - Another Tilt Between
Representatives Fordney and Byrnes

Washington, Aug. IGNORE than
half hundred amendments to the
Republican tax bill, most of them of
minor importance. were accepted today
by the House in a five-hour session
marked by occasional clashes between
the majority and the minority, and a
renewal of the personal controversy
between Chairman Fordney of the
ways and means committee and Rep
resentative Byrnes. Dem, South Car
Gina.
Other changes in the bill. including
elimination of the provisions for a )
per cent. tax on the manufacturers
of proprietary medicines, tooth pow
der and paste and mouth washes and
a reduction in the tax on cereal bev-
erageS from six to four cents a gal
lon, are expected to be proposed to-
morrow by the ways and means COM
mittee before the measure is passed
late in the day.
Republicans and Democrats of the
House were a unit today in approving
one northumberland striking out the
section of the bill imposing an annual
license tax Of $40 on vendors of soft
drinks. On a few other changes there
We're sharp divisions, but many of the
minor ones merely changing language
or Fluctuations were put through
without a single member on either
side voting on the yea" and may"
cslls. All of the committee changes
proposed were adopted.
Under one amendment approved over
Democratic opposition. corporations
making gifts for charitable purposes
would be relieved from tax on such
sums unless they exceeded ) per cent.
of the net income of the donating COM
pany.
The big fight Of the day was over
an amendment defining as foreign
trade corporations such domestic cor
porations as derive so per cent. or
more of their gross income from the
active conduct of business outside the
United States, and similarly as foreign
traders those American citizens who
derive so per cent. or more of their
gross income from sources outside
this country.
The Democrats claimed this propos-
al was a discrimination against purely
domestic corporations in the matter
of taxes. The Republicans defended
it on the ground that it was necessary
to relieve foreign trade corporations
and foreign traders from taxation on
income received from sources outside
the country in order that they might
compete with foreign concerns.
The amendment was adopted 1O3 to
IS, IL Republicans joining the mega
tive vote.
