indicted in Pennsylvania for the
murder of two bachelor brothers

to death in their beds, according to
a certified copy of the indictment
which the State had, but did not
introduce in evidence. Lee was

WAGE CUTS ARE FOR WORKERS,
NOT POLITICIANS
(By CAROLINE ABRAMS, Federated Press.)

LEVELAND-(FP)-Tha the Cleveland city politicians are forcing
the low salamed city employees to carry practically the entire burden of
the city payroll economy has been revealed in a check of the city payroll
on April 13.
While salary cuts from 10 to % per cent have been forced OF most
city employees earning below $4,000 a year, the directors of city departments
and political favMites have not had their wages cut at all.
Thus the city mayor with a salary of $4,000 and the seven directors
with salaries of $500 have had n decrease except a payless vacation,
which amounts to about A per cent of their salaries, while junior typists
and junior clerks had their pay cut from $1,000 to 1920 and from s, 800
to 81 208 a year respectively.
The secretaryshps to the mayor and the directors which are always
political pums and pay from $4,000 to $500 a year, register 40 pay cut
except the vacation without pay, while chairmen in the engineering division
were cut from s1140 to s84O a year. A chauffeur receiving Coo an hour
got a 20 per cent cut.

Paul A. Cow, Butte, Mont, president of North Butte Mining Co., and
consulting engineer of Consolidated Coppermines, was in Duluth this week.
He is a strong advocate of a tariff on foreign copper entering the United
States, and says that such duty should be not less than 9 cents a pound.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana has declared himself in favor
Of an adequate tariff on copper which will restore a fair price for the
metal and assure a prosperous domestic copper mining industry. Cover
nor r. E. Erickson of Montana has gone on record for an adequate duty on
foreign copper. Senator Wheeler also favors a fair price for silver, which
will give Asiatc and Central and South American countries an increased
purchasing power, and result IN a substantial increase of our trade with
those countries" said Mr. Cow.
