USE Of BONUS
WAGE GROWING

Systems of wage payments,
which include premiums and
bonuses, now in effect include ap.
proximately three times as many
wage earners as in 1924, accord
ing to a survey by the National
Industrial Conference Board. The
survey covers 631 companies en-
ploying more than 100000 wage
earnerS.
The premium and bonus plans
are relatively more popular in the
medium size plants than in either
the very small or very large estab-
liShmentS. In plants employing
between $50 and 999 wage earnerS
1872 per cent were paid under
premium or bonus plans. In plants
employing from 1000 to 1899
workers the proportion was 24.4
per cent. These ratios contrast
with the percentages in the small
plants and laEge ones Of 14.1 per
cent and 1919 per cent respectively.
Straight time rates are most
common in thu automotive indus
try where 1914 per cent Of the
workers are paid on an hourly
basis. Individual piece rates pre-
dominate N the clothing industry
in which 80.4 per cent Of the
workers are paid on such terms:
1877 per cent Of the workers are
on straight time. and 3.8 per
cent work under the premium or
bonus plans.
Reports from printing and pub
fishing establishments indicate
that 81 per cent of the wage earn
ers are paid under premium or
bonus plans, A per cent receive
straight time and only 2 per cent
are paid by piece rates.
The NRA, according to the
boards data, did not have a
uniform effect on wage incentive
plans. Three times as many COM
panies reported that NRA had
increased the use of incentives as
that having the opposite effect.
The main reason for the in.
creased use of incentives on &C
count of the NRA was the need
for greater economy. the board
reports.

'jOKERS' SEEN
FACING DEFEAT
By HARRY H. BECKER

NEW YORK, July 16.-Amend.
mentS inserted into the new bank
ing bill by the Senate subcommit-
tee, that would have permitted Sc
curity underwriting by private as
well as national banks, and inter.
locking of directories between
the two types Of institutions, have
been eliminated from the pending
legislation, it was reliably reported
yesterday.
Bankers returned from Wash
ington with hope virtually aban.
doned for passage of the two pro-
posals when they come up for
Senate debate within the next
few days.
Both changes in the measure
have been the subject of bitter
controversy among the banking
fraternity since they were adopted
by the Senate group several weeks
ago. This difference of views has
apparently aggravated the discord
already existing in the highest
banking quarters.
Although bankers, who spent
several days in Washington last
week comforting with their col
leagues on the proposed bill were
reticent to discuss the nature of
the conversations, they were
unanimous in predicting the
death of the underwriting and
interlocking directorate sections
Of the bill.
However, considerable mystery
still surrounded the identity of
the sponsors of either or both pro-
posed changes in the legislation.
Bankers popularity credited with
most responsibility for their adop-
ton Stoutly and vigorously denied
any part in the affair.
Some sources blamed the pend
ing defeat Of the underwriting
amendment to premature pub
licity. Hearst newspapers edito-
rally opposed its enactment, fear
ing a return of the abuses re-
Sponsible for legislation in 1888
prohibiting joint security and
banking activities by Incorporated
as well as State banking inStitu-
tons.

BLADENSBURG
FLOOD CONTROL:
Up To STATE

EVANSVILLE, Md, July Is.
The fate of Bladensburg's long.
sought flood control project, an UNI
dertaking which will furnish the
groundwork for a suburban park
system, linking Prince Georges
county with the District park SyS-
tenn and improving property val
ues in this section by eliminating
recurrent floods. now rests in the
hands of the Maryland authori'
ties.
The Federal Emergency Coun-
Gil has informed State leaders
that it is willing to back the
project within the limitations i'm
posed by Federal law. This means
that a Federal appropriation of
some 100000 can be made avail
able if the construction is so
handled that men, at present un-
employed, are given work on it.
Some State or county agency
must secure rights of way from
property owners. Some of the
property holders have been re-
luctant to grant the waivers
which the Federal authorities
insist upon.
Federal authorities also insist
that some interested local agency,
assume responsibility for main
tanning the flood control project
after it has been completed.
The project merely requires
dredging and construction OF
levees on the Anacostia River to
the vicinity of the District Line
from the junction of the Northwest
and Northeast branches near old
Bladensburg Jail, and the local
maintenance would involve little
money, consisting only of inspec'
ton Of the levees and painting the
flood gates. Since the adjacent
properties would be materially en-
HANGED in value, and develop fur
ther sources of State and county
revenue, the maintenance would
more than pay its own cost.
John S. White, of Hyattsville,
Md, and his flood control COM
mittee of the Federation of Cit.
zens Associations, will meet this
evening to consider how the Citi-
zens Federation can help to push
the project.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY FENTRESS
limited Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, Nov. %. (UP)-Lots
and lots of buttons, shining cire
satin, flowers painted on crisp
georgette, soft flowing drapery
and tiny little pancake hats char
acterize the new mid-season col
lection of Jean Patou.
The buttons run spasmodically
up and down the backs of dress
es. Sometimes they are covered
in matching material and occa-
sionally they are in crystal, but
there are always buttons! After
noon dresses and cocktail gowns
are trimmed with small buttons,
sports dresses and suits have but
tons of more generous proper
tions, while evening gowns go IN
for crystal buttons or tiny but
tons trimmed with the same ma
terial which makes up the gown.
Grecian draperies have under
gone considerable modification.
Dressmakers seem to have realiz-
ed at last that women will not
wear the complicated evening
gowns that were shown in the last
collections.
The new Patou draperies are
simplified for convenience. There
is a colorful painted georgette
which makes an interesting even
