LARGE SALARIES
TARGET
TOO LITTLE FOR PRODUCERS,
TOBACCO PLANT HEAD, HON.
ORED AT DINNER, SAYS.

Too much "take-out" in business
with not enough going to producers
and was described as one
of the greatest troubles of the United
States by Wood F. Axton, President
of The Axiom Fisher Tobacco Com
pany, recently, at a dinner given in
his honor.
His company is the manufacturer
of the well known Spud, Twenty Grand
and Clown Cigarettes, Show Boat
Shredded Cigarette Tobacco and a
number of other brands Of smoking
and chewing tobaccos.
Mr.. Axton, called the lowest paid
president of the largest independent
tobacco company, in America, was
praised by Government and State of
ficials and stockholders, who spoke.
After a stakeholder said the COM
pany did a $4,000 900 business last
year, and that Nh. Axton was paid
a salary of only 100000, which the
speaker considered too little, Mr.. AK
ton expressed his views on the rela-
ton Of executives to employees.
zone of the greatest troubles of
this country is that business execu-
tives are taking too much for them
selves" he said. eff there is any pay
raising in this factory it will start
at the bottom and not at the top. No
business is safe if the executives ac-
cept too much salary. We could not
manufacture a cigarette Of the high
quality of Twenty Grand if the Of
ficers Of this company took for them
selves far more than they should in
tremendous salaries and bonuses which
.rightfully belong to the employees. At
ter all these tremendous salaries u.s.
ually come out of the pockets of work
ers in factories. Every worker is en-
titled to more than he is getting and
if we are to have prosperity in this
country it will be necessary to give the
producer more"

WASHINGTON Scene
(By HARVEY

WASHINGTON (FP) Union
representatives in Washington are
confronted by the curious spectacle
of the NRA consumers advisory board
turning into a better advocate for la
Dor than the so-called labor advisory
board, headed by Leo Wolman. VOL
man, whose "labor advisers were at
tackled by Pres. Green of the A. F. of
L. as mot real men of labor" report
ed to the code authorities conference
that workers have benefited immense
ly from the recovery act. But Mrs.
Mary C. Rumsey, submitting the con-
sumers' board report, stated the very
opposite.
"The average purchasing power per
employed industrial and commercial
worker has been decreased by rising
prices" her board reported. And the
worst is yet to come because retail
prices have not yet fully reflected the
price increases of the wholesale mark
ct, so that a considerable number of
new price increases may be expected
in the spring" The third highlight Of
the consumers report is that unless
standards for wages and hours are de-
cidedly changed, the increase of
wages and employment required by
the codes lies mostly in the past"
"Some of the gains Of the re-em-
ployment program have been made at
the expense of the previously en-
ployed," the report concludes.
sa*
In the lumber industry prices in
creases have been double the increas-
ed wage payments, in paper and pulp
2h times, and in the oil industry five
to six times. The board attacked the
price-fixing and "open price" clauses
written into many codes, the pro-
visions for limiting output and the
failure to include quality standards.
The consumers board is starved by
lack of funds and unable to do its
work in policing manufacturers eff
forts to boost and fix prices, Mrs.
Rumsey said.
#E#
Wolman hailed the recovery act
mainly as an effort toward national
legislation for minimum wages and
maximum hours, hitherto banned. In
contrast to union accusations that la
Dor had been ignored, Wolman assert
ed that "from the outset labor has
been afforded influential and respon-
sible representation" He hailed the
fact that average hourly earnings
now stand at "close to 55c an hour"
Issues of union organization and rec
ognition, he said, Cannot be settled
through conflict" The fixing of
hours and wages" Wolman added,
may turn out to be only one, and
perhaps not the most important of
many elements" in the unemployment
problem, which is probably a long
time problem"

NRA industrial advisory board, gave
some point to charges that Mussolini's
fascist cooperative state is being in
troduced in this country through NRA.
"You gentlemen of the code authori-
ties, he said, 'have been given pow
er greater than that allocated ever in
civil and international war. You gen.
tlemen today are part of the govern
ment. You have been delegated au-
thority to administer the government
of industry. He failed to mention
the "co-partnership of industry, labor
and government which Gen. John
son nee stressed.
Sen. Wagner, speaking in behalf of
the national labor board, reiterated
his appeals for industrial peace" and
the prevention of strikes. He des-
cribed the labor board as an instru-
ment for Cooperation and peace.
| Since the passage of the recovery act,
! Wagner said, company unions have
increased their membership 189 per
cent, from $4,000 to 1,164, 900. More
than SO per cent of the company un-
ions now in existence were started
since the recovery act was passed
June 16, 1888.
The labor board chairman pointed
to the dilemma of capitalism, that is
that the distribution of income a
mong the masses of our people has
not been sufficient to absorb indus
trial output. Purchasing power has
been dried up at the source" Offer
ing still another contradiction to Leo
Wolman, Wagner, asserted that "the
increase in the real income of the en-
tire wage earning class has been due
to unemployment rather than to i'm
proved individual standards. The in
dividual worker employed full time is
earning less today than he did last
March"
Wagner appealed for employer sup
port for the Wagner-C onnery bill aim
ed at company unionism. His bill
would remedy "the ambiguity of some
of the terms of Section Ia of the re-
covery act and the in~adequacy of en-
forcement power" another defect
of Section Ia" he said, "is that it
guarantees the right of employees to
organize, but does not expressly Sc
cure to their representatives the right
of recognition. Over 10 per cent of
the cases before the labor board have
resulted from the failure of employers
to follow the clear intent of the law"

SENATE CONCURS IN
House AMENDMENTS
TO WAR-TORN BILL
Ex.Soldiers to Get Increased
Benefits But Not as Much
as Was Proposed
VETO POWER IS RECOGNIZED
Advocate Says Present Measure
Might Be Passed Over OBJ
jections by President

Washington, March 26.-(R-The
senate Monday concurred in the less
liberal veterans benefits voted by the
house but added clarifying amend
ment which requires house approval
before the controverted independent
offices bill may be sent to the White
House.
Previously, the senate had added
Sll8,000,O00 In veterans benefits to
the measure, while the house had
voted only $83;O00,0O0 The senate
now agrees to the lower figure.
Earlier the senate had joined the
house In approving restoration Of 10
per cent of the is per cent which had
been taken from the pay envelope Of
government employees.
The long congressional dispute over
veterans benefits was virtually con-
cluded when senate administration
leaders agreed to the clarifying
amendment offered by Senator stei-
wer Rep., OreO.
Leaders Of the move for more lib
eral treatment Of the veterans then
agreed to accept the house benefits
on the theory they were the best that
could be obtained.
Their views were summarized by
Steiwer In saying there was less
chance Of q veto Of the bill in this
form and more hope Of passing It
over veto If one was forthcoming.
Restores Many to Rolls
The steiwer amendment, approved
without roll call, changes the 11ouse
language to make certain It would
not affect adversely certain combat
cases In restoring to the rolls at Is
per cent of former benefits $1,000 vet
Grams with presumptive service con
nected disabilities.
The house amendments were &C.
cepted by vote Of % to 80.
They provide for permanent resto-
ration without review Of the $4,000
World war veterans struck from the
rolls by the economy act because they
could not prove their disabilities were
service connected.
They would be given IS per cent of
former benefits as against the 100 per
cent voted originally by the senate.
The amendments also restore to the
rolls thousands Of Spanish American
war veterans, their widows and or
phans at IS per cent Of former pen
sions as against 80 per cent asked BY
the senate.
Senator Frazier Of North Dakota
voted against the house provisions.
No vote was recorded for Senator Nye.
