MELLON CORP TO CUT WAGES
 l09o

Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept 28-- (UP)-A reduction of 10 per cent in the salaries and wages of all employees of the Aluminium Company of America, Mellon interest, and its subsidiaries, ef- fcctive October 1, was an- nounced to-day.
 The action has been consid- cred for several months. officials said, but was delayed until made necessary in the interest of economy.
 Although aluminium has diversity of uses in modern in- dustry, consumptio-' of raw ma terial by the industry has de- creased generally, officials said, and as a result the wage-cut has become necessary.
 The aluminium company's largest plant is at New Kensing- ton, Pa. Other plants are located in Alcoa, Tenn; Cleveland, De- troit, Buffalo, N. Y., Niagara Falls, N. Y., Fairfield, Conn, Edgewater, N. J., Garwood, N. J. and Massena, N. Y.

BY FREDERICK KUH

Berlin, September 28 - (UP)- President Paul Won Hindenburg, leader of Germany's armies against France and her allies in the World war, received Frances official emissaries of good will, Premier Pierre Laval and Foreign Minister Aristide Briand, today.
 It was the first time that Hin denburg had received active French statesmen and the first visit of a French premier and foreign minister to Berlin since long before the World war.
 The aged president conversed with the Frenchmen for half an hour. The conversation was very friendly. The French Ambassador Andre Francois-Poncet and the presidents secretary of state. Dr Meissner, acted as interpreters.
 It was reported here last week that France had annulled the war criminal list" upon which Won iHndenburg and the former kaiser had prominent places. This was denied in Paris, where it was ex- plained that the list had not been brought into international nego- tiations since 1920, but had never been annulled.
 Paris, September 2S - (UP)- The date of Premier Pierre La vars departure for the United States remained uncertain today. with a possibility that he might defer it until October 16.

ELECTION LOOMS IN ENGLAND AS
 CABINET MEETS
Second Gathering To-day Has Nation Troubled Tariff for Revenue Is Big Issue in Country
By KEITH JONES

London, Sept 28- (UP) - The cabinet met this afternoon for Its second session of the day, while Great Britain anxiously waited for Wednesday to learn whether an immediate general election was in prospect on the issue of a tarin for revenue.
 Premier J. Ramsay Macdonald told the House of Commons he would announce on Wednesday the date for ending the present session of parliament. His phraseology on that occasion was expected to in- d!cate whether a general election was planned. The special session could merely be ended or parlia- ment dissolved in preparation for a general election. Parliament ad- journed last July 31 until Octo- Der 20, with provision for a spe- cial session if necessary. which was called.
 The agitation for and against a general election continued strong. The liberal party advisory coun- cil reiterated its opposition to an election, but it was believed the liberals would agree to an emer- gency tariff for revenue only, If necessary to adjust Britain's trade balance. Britain, a free trade country, has at present a very linn ited tariff, known as "safeguard- ing of industry" which imposes duties on a small list of manufac- tured goods. in addition to tobac- co, spirits. beer, sugar, etc. The bulk of raw materials, foods and other products are admitted free.
 The tremendous falling off of Britain's export trade. however, has created a strong demand for a tarff which would raise the necessary revenue to balance the budget and would tend to swing the trade ball. ance again in Britain's favor.
