RAIL OFFICIALS
CONFIRM REPORT
NO CUT in WAGES
Officials Reduce Own Sal
aries In Order To Avoid
Wage Scale Slash.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The Southern
Railway system today confirmed re-
ports that it had no intention of cut
ting wages. Accompanying this an
nouncement was the statement that
the officials Of this company had vol
unfairly reduced their W salaries.
The Southern statement said: "This
company does not contemplate any
movement for the reduction of wage
scales covered by contracts with or
ganized labor at this time.
1.-The press story to that effect
doubtless had its origin in a recent
voluntary reduction of salaries by Of
fcers of which no publicity was in
tended"
A Washington newspaper today said
Southern directors had approved a cut
in the pay of white collar" workers
above the $4,000 class. 1t added that
organized labor was not involved in
the reduction.
Southern officials said the major
ity Of their workers were union mem
bers but added it was felt no move
should be made to cut the pay of un-
organized wage carriers without in
Guiding the organized employees,
1t was explained that wage earn
ers were ordinarily classified as those
who have an hourly pay scale, but
that the voluntary reduction would
not apply to salaried men who were
lot company officials.
The amount of the reduction was
not announced but it was said the
saving would be very little. Officials
said that since Southern shopmen
were on a fve-day week and many
other employees were IN a part time
basis, it was felt the officers should
contribute toward the economy pro-
gram.

the SUPPLEMENTARY of the city schools
system of Wadesboro. MI. Richardson

surprise to the people of Marion and
to no one, he says, more than t him.
self. He was called to Wadesboro
where the school board unanimously
elected him to head the city schools.
The offer was such a generous ono
and came in such a way, Mi. Richard
son said, hat he felt constrained to
accept, and thereupon Immediately re-
signed his post here. The enrolment
in the four schools comprising the
Wadesboro system numbers around L.
500, with approximately 40 teachers
and three principals, it is understood.
The compensation offered was very at
tractive, MI. Richardson said.
Coming to Marion in 1929 from
Spencer, Mr.. Richardson has been
prominently identified with local af-
fairs while conducting the city school.
He is a steward in the First Methodist
church and has been a teacher in the
Sunday School during his residence
here. He was a member of the Marion
Chamber Of Commerce and the Ma
rion Lake Club, and has been one of
the most active members of the XII
wants Club. For the past wv sum-
mers he has conducted a camp for BOYS
at Cove Echo, sponsored by the local
Kiwanis Club. II is just now closing
its second successful year.
The son Of Rev. N. r. Richardson,
a methodist minister, Frank Richard
son lived in many parts of the State
in his youth, wherever his father
charge called him. He is a graduate Of
Duke University, and has been con-
nected with State schools since finish
