Of one or two days a week without
pay
This plan, its author has annouiie-
ed will vsave couple of hundred
thousand dollars in The course of a
year. What these employees are
compelled to forege in wages will
help pay the salaries OF the Num-

Board, even II the subsidy bill is
delayed for a few months longer
The necessity for this reduction
OF the pay roll of the Bureau OF
Engraving becomes apparent the
minute it is known that of the sew
eral hundred officials OF the Ship
ping Board ~ alone receive an ag.
gregate of $599,S00 year as sala-
ries. They get an average of nearly
$4,000 a piece, or nearly twice as
much as Senator or Representa-
tive, several hundred dollars more
than member OF the Cabinet and
almost as much as an Associate
Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court.
The Bureau of Engraving and
Printing is one OF the Government
plants for making money. Just
why the Harding administration
doesn't keep it going at full pres
sure while the Shipping Board
needs so many millions for salaries

The speech is a fulsome eulogy
of the Steel Trust delivered by Mr.
Wood in the House of Representa-

compares the Steel Trust organiza

gone further and stated that some,
times the Steel Trust in its exercise
of power exceeds that of the Unit
ed States, certainly with respect to
the Clayton law and The Sherman
law concerning unfair competition
and monopoly. 4
Since Mr. Woods eulogy was de-
livered the Federal Trade Commits.

steel merger would be a violation OF
law, constituting an unfair method
OF competition and tending to
create monopoly. This followed
the passage of a Senate resolution
for an inquiry into the proposed
merger.
Since Republican Chairman

advanced prices of rails So to S43 a

Of joachim Fell, all were men of promi-

About the table grouped Malllard
