BIC STEEL CUTS
BITTER BLOW
To 6. O.P.
Impetus Will Be Given, Belief,
To Other Industries to Fall in
Line With Pay RetrenChment

big Steel's" announcement Of
a 10 per cent wage cut was a
bitter blow to the Administration
today.
Although not unprepared for
it, and aware that there has been
widespread wage cutting in other
industries, it had been felt by
Administration officials that so
long as Big Steel" clung to the
old wage standard the fiction of
mo wage cutting" could be pre-
served.
That fiction can now no longer
be maintained. for U. S. Steel is
regarded as the bell COW of the
industrial flock, and it is frankly
anticipated here that those in.
dustries which have not reduced
salaries and wages will do so
under the impetus of steel's move.
At that. it is recognized that
"Big Steel" kept up wages far
longer than other industries
which came to Washington two
years ago at the call of the
President and pledged no wage
cutting during the depression.

Gas Tax Pyran,iding
Criticized bu A. .A.A.

Five different gasoline tax rates
ranging from two cents a gallon
to seven cents are now prevalent
throughout the country. The
seven-cent tax is only in effect in
Florida, but according to the Dis
trict of Columbia Division of the
American Automobile Association,
a bill has been introduced in the
Georgia legislature to increase
the six-cent tax in that State to
seven cents.
The constant pyramiding of
the gasoline tax is even more Sc
riouS. according to the A. A. A.,
because the receipts from the tax
are now diverted to other than
road-building purposes.

Stones Fight Fails
The attempt during the la%t
Congress by Representative U. S.
Stone of Oklah oma to put
through legislation against pay
roll favoritism for relatives is dis
posed of by the remark that:
"Once more nepOtism had
survived the critical onslaught
Of its enemies, as it has sur
vived all attacks since the be-
ginning of the Republic"
Recalling how Stone was un-
able to get his bill out Of COM
mittee because OF the opposition
of Chairman William Williamson
(R0 South Dakota, the CON-
ment is made that:

$3,740. Inasmuch as Mrs. Will
liamsOn'S maiden name was
Clara Dice, it would appear
that the WiIIiamsOn-Dice fam.
fly alliance has a 100 per cent
equity in the monthly pay
check"
There is a special list of eight
members of the House, including
Minority Leader John N. Garner
CD Texas, whose entire office
allowances are absorbed each
month by persons bearing the
same names as the members.
In general tenor, it is suggested
that the Congressional idea OF
relieving unemployment is to start
at home, with members of the
Congressman's own family. 1t is
stated that:
Each year Congress spends
in excess of S3,OOO,OOO for clerk
hire and it is charged that an
army of Senator's and Repre-
sentativeS' wives, sons, daugh-
ters. nephews, nieceS, and in

of this amount"
