steel rod was hung a beautiful
model plane equipped with a
small electric motor, receiving it's
power, as did the lights, through
a transformer in the hangar. The
plane circled the field under it's

Herbert Spencer, former city

to provide that police make arrests
for traffic violations committed in
their presence, giving stickers only
in cases not witnessed by police
men. Another suggestion was to
make it unlawful Tor motoriSt to

Steel Company President
Given 1929 Bonus of
$1,6OO,0OO.

BU United Press
YOUNGSTOWN, O., July 81
Charles M. SchWab. veteran chair
man of the board of the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation, has received a
salary of $150,00O a year since 1925,
it was brought out today in Cyrus
S. Eaton's suit to block merger OF
Youngstown Sheet and Tube Com
pany with Bethlehem.
The veteran steel mans salary
was revealed in list of salaries and
bonuses paid by Bethlehem since
1925 and submitted to the court at
the insistence of Eaton'S attorneys.
The figure was a complete sur
prise. 1t had been supposed that
SchWab was receiving an annual
salary variously estimated at be-
tween 100000 and 100000.
Grace Gets $1,6OO,OOO
In earlier testimony, it was
brought out that Eugene G. Grace,
president of Bethlehem, receives an
annual salary of $4,000, but this is
only supplementary to annual Gin
centive bonuses"
His incentive bonus" last year,
it was testified, was more than
81 500, 900.
1t was stated definitely that
Schwab receives no bonus. On this
basis, and according to previous
testimony, lesser executives, as
beneficiaries of the bonus plan, re-
ceive more annually from Bethle-
hem than does Schwab.
Not Aware of Bonus
Eaton attorneys, in bringing out
existence of the incentive bonus"
system, also revealed that Sheet
and Tube officials sponsoring the
merger were not advised of its ex-
istence in early negotiations with
Bethlehem.
Eaton, dominant Sheet and Tube
shareholder, and his allies, are OPP
posing the merger on the ground
that BethIehem's terms "are unfair
andNtinged with fraud" Their at
torneys laid a careful groundwork
for introduction Of evidence bearing
on Bethlehem salaries and bonuses,
in an avowed attempt to reveal
Grace's and Schwab's earnings.
