u. S. ELECTRIC LIGHT INDUSTRY
THREATENED WITH EXTINCTION
Japanese Christmas Tree Lamps Are Torch

to produce a given light and the excess
bill to the users of these lamps last
year was $l1, 100000. Thus, instead of
saving 81 100000 in 1881, the japanese
bulb users actually lost SO 100, 600.
The influx of japanese lights to this
country began during the war, when
the demand was great. BY 1923 it had
grown to $1,000, ,00G bulbs of all kinds
and in 1891 totaled 70,O00,OOO The
figures for 1882 are expected to 60 over
the 1l5,000,000 mark
More than $4,000. 900 Christmas tree
lights from Japan we're sold here this
season. In 1928, when the Japanese
imports equaled 81 per cent OF the
total domestic consumption, General
Electric supplied more than $4,000, ,0O0
lights and Westinghouse upward of 12,-
00O,000.
Today the Japanese and American
manufacturers have changed positions
The Japanese have usurped the Amer
lean market and American manufac-
turers have millions of bulbs on their
hands, which, If they sold at the jap
anese price, would represent terrific
losses. The General Electric has closed
its miniature electric light plants al
Buffalo and Cleveland and consolidated
its now restricted activities at its New
ark, N. j., factory. This transaction
threw 900 persons out of work.
Actual imports of all classes of cleo
trio lights from Japan between January
and August, 1881, totaled 29038, ,769, at
prices from "a cents to 35 cents a
unit.
In similar period in 1892, imports
OF japanese lights totaled 73523, ,258, at
IL cents each.
According to official computations.
Japanese importations deprived l,24O
American workers of employment in
1881, and this number is expected to
be 1885 for 1882. The 1881 loss in
wages to Americans because of these
lmportationS was $1,805, 900, and the
loss for 1882 is expected to be as high
as $2.32O,O0O.
Success of the Japanese, it is report
ed, who have even gone SO far as to
initiate familiar American trade marks,

lamp industries, and experts declare 1t

leans continue buying the foreign In

that the United States will face a flood
of lamps from these countries.
Thus an industry which began in
America slightly more than half a CEN
tury age today is threatened with ex-
tinction because of foreign pressure.

of the position he took encountered
strong opposition from President Hoover
and from members of the corporation
itself Yesterdays House action was
taken at the urging Of Representative
Howard Democrat, of Nebraska), who
had the backing of Garner and other

Highway Firms Charged With
Bringing Pressure
on Governors.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
Paul v. Betters, executive director of
the American Municipal Association,
Chicago, asserted in a Senate hearing
today that pressure has been brought
to bear by highway interests to prevent
some States from applying for unem-
ployment loans from the Reconstruction
Corporation.
Does Not Disclose Names.
Without naming them, he said he
knew Of three States where road inter-
ests" have descended on the Governor"
to induce him not to seek a loan This
was done, he said, on the theory that
since the loans are to be repaid out of
future Federal aid highway funds, It
was thought there would be fewer rural
roads built after 1885 If the advances
were received
Questioned by Senator La Toilette.
Republican, Of Wisconsin, Betters said
he knew these influences had &C
counted for delay in applications and
in one or two instances had led the
Governor to compel cities to borrow di-
rectly on their own securities under
than out of Federal road fund ad-
vances.
Federal Aid Bill Endorsed.
1ndorsing the La Follette-Costigan
S500,0 900 direct Federal aid bill,
Betters said some States have failed to
apply for aid from the Reconstruction
Corporation because of unwillingness TO
take "pauper's oath" which he said
the present law requires.
Particularly is this true, he said, "of
the conservative New England States, 3"
and while this delay is occurring peo-
pie are starving to death in Boston and
some of these other cities"
The corporation authorized relief
loans for use through February to six
States today, as follows,
Oregon, S742, 400; Washington, $l93,-
600; North Dakota, $4,000; South Car
olina, $l,247,600; Nevada, $4,000, and
Tennessee, S52,500.

PAY ITEM DELAYED
BY SENATE GROUP
Treasury-Post Office Supply
Bill Before Committee Prob
ably Monday.

With subcommittee working on the
urgent deficiency appropriation bill, the
Senate Appropriations Committee has
postponed until next week, probably
Monday, a final meeting to act on the
Treasury once supply bill, which
carries the general economy program.
The coming week is almost certain
to see the beginning of Senate consider
alton OF the program, which, according
to Chairman Bingham of the Economy
subcommittee, means new savings of
approximately S37,000.000 over the
House provisions Approximately $30,-
100000 of these new savings would be
in addition to savings under the present
economy law during the current fiscal
year.
Estimate of Savings.
Under the existing economy law,
which established the 8k per cent pay
less flrlough for Federal workers along
with various other retrenchments, saw
ings for the current year are variously
estimated frem l2o,o00,0oO up to $780,
100000.
Senator Bingham's latest figures on
probable savings under the changes now
being recommended by his committee
are:
From the new pay cut of 123 per
cent on top of the present Shs per cent
furlough, $l6.0t0o00
Applying the pay cut to enlisted per-
sonnel Of the Army, Navy and Marine
Corps, in the next fiscal year, $500 600.
Continuing the ban on the filling OF
vacancies, which the House eliminated,
Sl0.000,00O
Changes in travel allowances, be-
tween $4,000 and 100000.
Travel expenses saved by extending
the length of service Of personnel in
foreign posts, $750,ooo.
Changes in travel basis for Army and
Navy 100000
Abelishing the Bureau of Eficiency,
$3.50 O00
Reduction in pension and compensa-
ton payment under the Veterans Ad-
ministrstion, s6,570,000.
SAL, 100000 Gross Total.
This makes gross total of new saw
ings of more than S4l,50o,000.
From this gross must be deducted
approximately S4,000.000 for additional
expense through restoring automatic
promotions in the Army. Navy, Postal
Service, Customs and immigration Field
Service, District police and firemen,
Coast and Geodetic Survey and Public
Health Service officers.
There is another offset Of $3.50, 900
through liheralizing the deduction from
the pay differential OF night workers to
one-third instead of one-half. Senator
Bingham said this produces the net
figure of new savings.
These figures do not take into ac-
count indefinite savings which may
result from the Recommendation that
the Budget Bureau be authorized to
pass on a list of so-ca.led permanent
annual appropriations Neither does it
include savings which may follow adop-
ton of any Government reorganization
plans during the next fiscal year.

the pending labor controversy between
