WAGE CUTSC[AIM
MAJOR ATTENTION
Reductions in Steel Plants
Stir Fears of Similar Action
Elsewhere.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Wage and salary reductions by Lead
ing steel companies are as significant
a development in Americas economic
situation as the British gold suspension
abroad.
The Hoover administration has en-
deayored to postpone the evil day by
urging industry to MAINTAIN wage scales.
No law OF course, can compel the main
tenance OF wages, but moral suasion
has been used thus far. The labor
groups have warned against the step
and the Government here has con-
Cured In expressions of hope that the
move might not have to be made.
Politics and Economics Mix.
Here Is case In which 1t might be
said that politics and economics mix.
For 1t has been assumed that the adj
ministration was currying favor with
labor by taking its side of the question.
The truth Is officials feel it Is bad
economies to reduce the purchasing
power Of labor and add to the curtail-
ment OF buying power.
Industry replies that unless budgets
are balanced and dividends resumed
to stockholders. there will be such
destruction of capital values ss TO force
suspension of work on a large scale,
which in itself would be more serious
than horizontal cut in pay rolls.
The biggest fear has been that II the
large industrial companies cut wages,
others would follow suit ell along the
line While there has not been much
said about it, there is a feeling here
that wage cutting has been going on
for several months in various ways and
that only the companies that are con-
spicuous by their size have been avoid
ing such cuts.
The ''Stagger" system of employment
has been in effect in many industries.
Two or three days work has been given
so that all employees might have some
income instead OF nothing. In these
readiustments, wage levels have been
readjusted SO that ultimately II Ave
day week is ever obtained, the per day
rate viii In many instances be lower.
New Move Is Climax.
The owe by the steel companies is
the climax of q wage discussion that
has been going on ever since the depres-
sion started and there have been some
economists who have predicted that not
until labor was debated would there be
a return to normally. They have
argued that with the lower. cost of food
and commodities and the admitted drop
in the cost of Living labor would not
suffer any real distress because of the
drop in income.
The railroads have been trying to
avoid q wage. cut and have asked the
Interstate Commerce Commission for q
raise in freight rates. Many of the
executives hope the increase
will not be granted, as they would
rather cut wages.
They think railroad income Is going
to be relatively lower even in normal
times due to bus competition and
they insist that the time has come to
cut operating costs.
While Mr.. Hoover may again have to
issue q plea to industry to maintain
wages. the process of resdjustment has
begun and the action of the
steel industry, always q leader in the
eyes of the business world, is bound
to have profound effect on other

NEW YORK, September 24.-Suspen-
sion of the gold standard in England
and reduction in steel wage rates
here have helped to clear the atmos-
phere," said the trade review OF Iron
Age yesterday.
Pointing out that the steel producers
had bowed to the inevitable after
weathering two years Of slack opera
tions," the periodical said they had
"set a precedent which, 1t Is now be-
lieved, the railroads must follow, wheth-
er they obtain partial relief through
rate advances or not"
Railroad buying programs are ex-
tremely slow in developing, and 1t seems
unlikely that they can really get un-
der way until the rate and wage ques-
tons are settled"
Meanwhile, production of steel ingots
has slipped off slightly, according to
the Iron Age average, which this week
fell point to 20 per cent. Prospective
business in some lines, notably, public
construction work is still regarded as
fairly promising. but In other directions
particularly the automobile industry.
the outlook has become increasingly
