CUT IN WAGES BREAKS PLEDGE

Promise Given White House Two Ye ars Ago, Is
 Broken, Says.Green
AMERICAN LABOR
 CHIEF TALKS OUT
Great Blow Struck Forces Striving to Bring Back
 Prosperity

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 24. A charge of bad faith and un- sound policy is raised against the wage cutting of steel corporations by Organized Labor.
 While President Hoover and his advisers remained silent, but with serious intent, William Green, Pres ident of the American Federation of Labor took the initiative in the assertion the steel industry has broken two-year- pledge made with the White House.
 The labor leader quoted a state ment made by Julius Klein, Assist ant Secretary of Commerce, there will be hell to pay throughout the United States in the event of a general wage reduction"
 The President of the American Federation said this now sounds like logical conclusion and mo greater blow than this has yet been struck against the forces which have been serving to bring about the return of prosperity"
 Yesterday it was announced that the United States Steel, Bethlehem Steel and Youngstown Sheet Tube had cut wages 10 per cent.
 Wage reductions were also an- nourced by General Motors from 10 to 20 per cent; United States Rubber Company, a 5-day week, tantamount to nine percent cut, and the American Smelling and Refining Company and Utah Cop per Company, a 10 per cent cut.

JUST NO. 14,5O4
Mobile Man Half Afraid as
He Enters Indiana
State Prison.
BY EDWARD C. FULKE

He was Just another prisoner
this No. i4,5O4-who stood uneasily
ut the clerks Office in the indiana
state prison watching his identity
sink behind a sea of gray walls.
He was Harold Herbert Schroed-
er. A man as empty of speech as a
statue-who stood friendless and
convicted at the portals of a prison
where society was locking him
away.
He was a different man now. You
watched him with new sort of
sympathy
Here was the big house"
here was Schroeder. One, like the
scythe Of time, reaping years from
mans life-the other, a man lost
10 his emotions. The color had
fled from his face, and that prison
palor already was in his eyes.
Here was Schroeder at the

these things that men fight for
name, a past, a position.
Thirty feet away was the door
way to that emptiness. And here
was Schroeder-the slayer, the
father, the son
Half-afraid, hesitant, he stood
cycling the corridor leading back to
the gray pit.
His elbows protruded through
tattered holes in an old coat
sweater; faded gray trousers bagged
at the knee; trembling fingers
rubbed across the stubbles of a,
three-day beard. The past was
gushing through his mind at the
sight Of bars behind which no man
ever is free.
It was but a matter of minutes
until this unreality of prison be-
came a reality
