STEEL STOCKHOLDERS
Attack Big Pay of Chief
Officials

New York City ILNS)-There was
a hot time in the meeting of the
stockholders of the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation last week Four stock
holders present tried to cut the sal
aries and bonuses of the three off
cials Of the company: Charles MI
Schwab, chairman of the board; Eu-
gene G. Grace, president, and R. E.
McMath, secretary.
Schwab's salary is $250,000 a year,
Grace's $18o,oOo, and McMaths
$58, GOO, Or $488,ooo for the three
This reused the wrath Of Leopold B.
Coshland, a stockholder who was
present; who declared that it was
mot fair nor honorable" for Mr..
Grace to take such a salary when the
company had lost money for two years
and made only a small sum in 1884
"A few years ago., said Mr.. Gosh
land, "Mr Schwab said he was Civ
| ing up many Of his activities on ac-
count of his advanced age, but that
Bethlehem would always remain near
est his heart. He was wrong in his
anatomy. He has held Bethlehem Steel
nearest his stomach, and we have been
his meal ticketW
Big Losses Reported
Mr.. Grace in his annual report said
that the Bethlehem had lost $20000,-
900 in 1882, and $9,Oo0.000 in 1893; but
had made profits Of $55o.000 in 1884.
In other words, the total sum lett
| for the stockholders is only a little
more than the salaries paid to three
officials.
Mrs. Mary F. Gallagher, a widow
living in New York and stockholder
of the Bethlehem, put in her word for
Mr.. Coshland.
NO wonder Father Coughlin
breaches about blood money she said
He knows what he is talking about
There is too much Of this. Here we
(the stockholders without cent
while you men store up millions. Mr.
Grace should know that there are no
pockets in shrouds!"
Workers Poorly Paid
Mr.. Coshland spoke again, saying
that according to the presidents re-
port, the Bethlehem has $4,000 work
ers, earning 81 cents an hour by hard
laborious work, while three official.
were collecting almost half million
a year. He proposed that the salaries
of these three officials be limited tC
20 per cent of the profits of 1884, which
would work out at $4,000, instead o.
| $488,000 actually paid.
This was voted down, of course; tht
insiders were in complete control; bu
this plain speaking is considered {
sign that legal proceedings to cut the
Bethlehem salary list may be looked
for almost any time.

Lumber Mill Workers
Fight Slash in Wages

West Helena, Ark. (ILNS)-Notice
of increased hours and reductions in
wages as posted at the Chicago Mill
and Lumber Company plant here pre-
cipitated a strike of approximately
500 workers. Company officials said
that they planned to cancel NRA lum-
Der code regulations because of the
recent withdrawal by the government
of an appeal before the supreme court,
which was a test of the codes con-
stitutionality.
Jasper, Ala (ILNs)-More than
200 lumber mill employees are on strike
demanding wage increases. Approxi-
mately rs workers walked out at the
R. H Carr Lumber Company Another
140 were on strike at the Jasper and
Eldridge plants of the Cleveland Lum-
Der Company. The strikes caused IS
sawmills in Walker county to shut
down.

CREIF VIOLATOR
OF IA BY Ruling of Labor
Board

Washington, D. G. tILNS)-L. Greif
& Bros, Inc, of Baltimore, Md, one
Of the biggest mems clothing manu-
featuring concerns, with plants in
Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia,
violated Section IA Of the recovery
act by threatening to close its plant
at Staunton, Va, if the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers Of America made
progress in unionizing its employees,
the National Labor Relations Board
has ruled.
The board also found that the COM
pany, by its initiation Of the Mutual
Benefit Association and by its par
ticipation in its affairs, interfered
with the right of its employees to self
organization under Section IA. The
evidence on which this finding was
based was that, after the passage Of
the national industrial recovery act
the association was organized, not
upon the initiative of the employees
but upon the initiative of the man
agement. The by-laws were prepared
by the management, and the manage
ment had a hand in selecting the
officers.
The company was required to cease
participating in the affairs of the Mu
tual Benefit Association and to dis.
continue attempts to influence EN-
ployes in their choice of membership
in labor organization
The company was asked to notify
the Labor Board within 10 days thai
members of the Amalgamated were
regularly back at their former posi-
tions without discrimination anc
molestation, and it was also required
to cease participating in the affairs
of the Mutual Benefit Association.
The Greif case has been before
NRA authorities for many months.

the voters went to the trouble of writ
ing in the names of organizations,
their ballots were counted for individ-
uals."
Even with this blind wording Of the
ballot, and with the espionage in
which the automobile industry seems
to surpass all others, more auto work
ers voted for the true union than for
the company union.
This compilation of figures ought to
end all quibbling about minority rep
resentation," and other devices for
fogging up the landscape, labor execu-
tives point out. When workers have
a chance to express their real wishes,
they vote overwhelmingly for real
unions

Workers Vote For Union

Only 80 Per Cent of Ballots in Governments Supervised

By A. F. of L. News Service.

oy a. f u II. NEWS Service
Washington- National Labor
Relations Board ordered an election
by secret ballot to be held within two
weeks by employees of the Kelsey

Mich, to determine whether they

pany union.
In announcing the order for the
election, the board said the union
claims a membership Of 2,167 of the
company's employees and that 914
have signed cards, petitioning the
board to conduct an election. The
company union claims membership
of 1860.
The board stated that the contin-
uance of the competitive status be-
tween the two employe organizations
will lead to conflicting demands and
discord among the employees. It there
fore concluded that an election to de-
termine proper representation to bar
gain with the company would be in
the public interest"
The board pointed out that the Kel-
sey Hayes Company started its COM
pany union shortly after the enact
ment of the national recovery act in
1888, which contained in Section IA
what congress intended to be a ban
on conapany-p unions.

Jobs, Pay, Gain
In Pennsylvania

Philadelphia (ILNS)-The number
Of wage earners on the rolls of Penn
sylvania facotries increased about l
per cent and the amount Of wage dis
bursements 2 per cent from the mid
die of February to the middle Of
March, indices of the Federal Reserve
Bank Of Philadelphia show. Work
ing time, as measured by employee
hours actually worked, also showed
a gain Of 90 per cent. These changes
indicate that factory activity since
the middle Of February was well
maintained, the Federal Reserve Bank

ahead. They cut a big swath out Of
the Big -Four business, and their COM
petition raised the price Of tobacco
to the growers. The Secretary Of the
treasury of the United States has
testified to that.
Tax Now Prohibitiye
But now that tobacco prices are up
to a decent level again thanks in
part to the bidding of the indepen-
dents, it is impossible to pay the pres
ent tax on cigarettes, sell them to re-
tail at 10 cents package, and still
come out even.
The two chief firms making
dime cigarettes, Axton Fisher
and Brown & Williamson, are 100
per cent union. They pay union
wages and deal with the repre-
sentatives of the workers. They
sent kilograms to the White
House calling for cigarette code
that would be fairer to workers
than the present one. w. F. Ak
ton, president Of Axton-Fisher,
who died recently, was a staunch
friend Of the unions for 35 years.
Organized labor is making a con
centrated drive to pass tax law
which is fair in itself, which will give
the only friends Of labor in tobacco
manufacturing chance to stay il
business, which will maintain the com.
petition by which the l0-cent cigar
cite manufacturers boosted the farm
er's price.

Poll Indicates Strong Congressional Sentiment For Fair
Tax 1O-Cent Cigarettes, Which Are Product OF
Union Labor and Are Threatened With Extinction
Under Present Rates.

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-A poll
of congress indicates there is enough
sentiment in favor of lowering the tax
on 10-cent cigarettes to pass bill
providing for this, if the proposal can
be brought to vote at this session.
A flood of letters from all parts of
the United States supporting labor's
effort to keep these union-made prod
ucts On the market has greatly helped
in the development of this sentiment.
The Allied Tobacco Workers Council
has asked that this expression of SEN
timent be continued, even though sen
ators and representatives may be get
ting too many of them to answer them
promptly.
Some attention must be given by
congress to tax matters at this ses-
sion. Whether the tobacco tax mat
ter receives final action has not been
ascertained positively. 1t will un-
duobtedly come to hearing, for it
has been introduced into the house by
three members of the ways and
means committee. The individual
bills, identically worded, are II. R
$3.50, H. R. 6124, and H. R. 6368.
All Pay Same Tax
At present, all cigarettes pay the
same tax, So per 1000, no matter
what the selling price. Under the
proposed law, there will be gradu
ated tax according to price. Ten-ceni
lcigarettes will pay a tax of $2.70 pc
900; 15-cent cigarettes will pay a:
now, 50 per 1000; and higher prieeC
cigarettes will pay $3.50 per 1000.
