ATTACKS SALARIES |
Of COOP HEADS
Ludlow Suggests $4,000
Limit-Stone Thinks This
Would Hurt Movement.

Controversy ragged today between
Chairman Stone of the Federal Farm
Board and Representative Ludlow
Democrat, of Indiana, over the salaries
paid officials of agricultural co-opera-
tive organizations.
The dispute broke out when Ludlow,
citing salaries of E. F. Creekmore, vice
president and general manager of the
American Cotton Cooperative Associa-
ton, and others, asked whether Stone
thought it might be wise for Congress
to place q limit of 5000 ON the pay
of men working for co-operatives.
Stone replied:
MY best Judgment is that such legis-
lation would work irreparable harm to
the cooperative movement and I am,
therefore, against it.
Says Competent Men Are Needed.
"For cooperative marketing to sue
ceed, the thing most needed is COM
petent and honest management The
only way a cooperative can get such
management is by paying salaries
comparable to those offered by private
business institutions engaged in the
same line and handling a comparable
volume Of the product"
Ludlow hit back:
The fact remains that these padded
payrolls with salaries ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year are an out
rageous imposition on the farmers who
have to bear the burden and the tax
payers in general, and no amount Of
explanation can erase that fact"
Graduated Pay Cuts Asked.
Meanwhile a bill for graduated cuts
of Federal salaries, similar to the work.
ings of the income tax law, was intro
duced by Representative Hoch, Repub-
lican, Kansas.
1.-THE reductions proposed would only
affect that part of the salary, large CT
small, which is above $4,000" HoCh
explained THAT part of the salary
between $4,000 and $4,000 would take
a 10 per cent cut; that part between
$4,000 and $4,000 a Is per cent cut;
that part between $4,000 and 5000 a
20 per cent cut, and that part above
$1,000 25 per cent cut"
He pronounced salary curtailment a
part ,of a necessary retrenchmert pro-
gram and said Government officials
and employees, both civil and military,
should be willing to contribute their
share" even at the cost of sacrifice and
hardship.
