Washington. - The demand for
publicity for salaries of officials of
large corporations, especially those
under some form of government
regulation, has been intensified by
recent revelations.
Huge salaries are being paid to
heads of corporations which bor-
row from the Reconstruction
Finance corporation, which have
led in the movement for wage re-
auctions and whose officers fire.
quently have been able to avoid
taxes on hundreds of thousands of
dollars of income by claiming de-
ductions for stock market losses.
The senate has just approved the
resolution of Senator Edward p.
Costigan of Colorado which would
make these big incomes matter
of public record. Costigan is a
member of the committee which
investigated the National City bank
and the Morgan firm and will soon
investigate the Chase National
bank.

Specialists, All
It is by just such adamant stands
that the stage hands have become
much more powerfully organized
than the actors themselves. And
the latter are greatly resentful or
this, especially since most of them
make less money than the men who
push the scenery around.
While the performers are on the
stage, the stage hands rest. Chorus
girls getting $35 a week may make
two or three complete changes of
costume while the scenery showers,
paid SIS and up, read their pulp
paper magazines. After about half
an hour, say, the curtain comes
down and the stage hands leap into
action for ten minutes. One man
picks up a chair and puts 1t there;
another picks up a lamp and puts
1t here; another spreads rug;
fourth man hands out cigarets to
be smoked in the next act. and SO
on. These men are called props.
Another group of men, called
grips, are the clearers and oper-
ators who shove the scenery into
place. Very highly specialized. For
instance, the man who hands out
cigarets wouldn't dare touch a rope
or a piece of scenery. And seem
cry man would jeopardize his job
II he were to straighten out
mussed rug.

Wears Lovely Dresses Now Since Losing
 49 Pounds of Fat
Get That Youthful Feeling Of Spirited Activity-That Glorious
 Kruschen Feeling

A roly-poly, overweight woman can't possibly wear the new nat tering styles-besides the best bar gains and most charming dresses come in the smaller sizes.
 So get busy, girls, with Kruschen Salts-get rid of double shins, chunky legs and ugly bulging rolls of fat above the corset line without starving and without loss pf strength or pep.
 As matter of fact when you faithfully take your little daily dose" of Kruschen first thing every morning in glass of hot water you gain in energy and vitality you increase physical charm (skin clears, eyes grow bright) all while you're achieving your goal-youth- full, slender figure. Attention to diet will help-cut down on pastry and fatty meats-go light on po- tatoes, butter and cream.
 Mrs Di Salvo of Woodhaven, l.. I. writes: "Only a few months ago weighed 187 and never could get 8 nice dress to fit. Now from a A dress to a size 20-weight, 138. Many thanks to Kruschen. I've recommended it to all my friends"
 A jar of Kruschen that lasts weeks costs but trife at any drugstore the world over. Money back if not joyfully satisfied with results. But for your health's sake make sure you get Kruschen- it's the SAFE. way to reduce prescribed by physicians.

Washington, Aug 11-(U.P) = The National Recovery Adminis- fration. already the medium of set ting strikes involving nearly 1OO,- 900 workers, continued its arbitra- tion efforts to-day and moved to- ward an inevitable showdown on the question of unionism in the bit- luminous coal industry.
 Leaders in the non-union sec- ton stood by their refusal to with draw company union provisions from their code of fair competition during the hearings now in pro- gress.
 Officials of the MIRA went for ward with consideration of other codes proposed for the coal indus try. but a return to the controver- siai issue of the methods by which the collective bargaining features of the recovery act shall be car ried on was regarded as only a matter of time.
 The national labor board, creat- cd by President Roosevelt after Administrator Hugh s. Johnson took over mediation of the Penn sylvania coal strike last week, set tied in three hours yesterday a strike involving 14,UOO nosleTy workers in 33 mills in Reading. Pa
 The board arranged hearings to- day on a shirt factory strike al Pottsville, Pa, and was expected to act next in the Hollywood movie strike.
 The forceful and energetic John son addressed mass meeting ir Baltimore last night with a plea to "buy now under the blue eagle".
 ITO support increased wages there must be increased business, he said. ITO get increased business there must be increased buying Failure to support blue eagle em- ployers is failure to support in. creased wages and unemployment
