jectors that an underground could
be made beneath Broadway "w;th-

CLASHES FORECAST
ON HIGH SALARIES
Stockholders Likely to Voice
Strong Criticisms at
Annual Meetings.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 6.-Financial
quarters are predicting more tumult
and conflict at some corporate an
nual meetings this year because of
the data released by the Federal
Trade Commission on executives
salaries and bonuses.
There were number of stormy
sessions last year with stockholders
giving expression to about every
thing ranging from mild displeasure
to violent denunciation, as the re-
suit of the long continued decline in
earnings of the affected companies.
With the general improvement in
1888 operating results, it was felt
that the 1884 stockholders sessions
would be marked by something like
their former tranquility, or at least
that was expected until publication
of the executive salary lists of a
hundred or more of big industrial
units from 1928 through 1883.
Surprised by Size.
LII the case Oh CerLd IN OF IleSe
companies. Wall Street quarters were
bit surprised at the muniicence OF
executives compensation in the face
of rapidly falling earnings, and it
was felt that stockholders of the CON-
panies concerned would take due no
tice of the facts and make plans to
come to the annual meetings to air
their opinions of the arrangements
salary policies.
Incidentally, the salary revelations
furnished Wall Street with a juicy
morsel for gossip.
The Streets unofficial appraisers of
executive talent had a great time
poring over the salary and bonus data
and telling their friends with stern
flnality which companies underpaid,
and which overpaid, their top eX-
eculives.
