of 690,277 persons are expected to
receive aid during the quarter ending
June 80, under public assistance plans
so far approved by the Social Secur-
ity Board, the board announces.
This figure is based on estimates sub

plans, and therefore receiving grants
in-aid from the Social Security
Board.
Included in the total number Of
persons to be aided are 528,694 needy
aged, 1880 needy blind and 42,878
dependent children.
To date, the Social Security Beard

STUDY OF LABOR
Situation on American Ships
Asked

New York City (ILNS)-T h 9
Chamber of Commerce Of the state
of New York has published a report,
calling for an expert survey" of
the labor situation on American
ships. The report was drawn by the
chambers committee on foreign COM
merce, and is based on the studies
of two other committees on the prob
lem of securing greater safety at sea.
There has been. much discussion
about officer and crew personnel on
American ships, and the difficulty fac
ed by American shipowners and oper
ators in obtaining competent crews
because of the lack of continuous dis
charge certificates" the report says.
1T is charged that the present Ger
tifcates are susceptible of forgery,
and in fact are freely bought and sold
for the purpose of obtaining employ
ment for unframed and incompetent
seamen.
Your committees believe that
thorough survey of the labor situation
on American ships should be conduct
ed by competent non-political and
non-partisan committee or commission
with the hope Of solving such labor
problems as may exist"

SEC Listing of Big Pay Received By Railroad
Steel, Food and Other Executives Reveals One
Important Factor in High Cost of Living.

The total overhead" charges of the
company through salaries listed by
the SEC comes to $3.50, ,47o. The
high cost of gasoline is a mystery no
longer.
Neither is the high cost of ribbons
mystery when one reads that the
Century Ribbon Mills, Inc, paid its
president last year $55,190; nor the
high cost of ginger ale, when we find
that the president Of the Anchor Cap
Corp. got $55,833 last year, and the
prexy of the Crown Cork and Seal Co.
got $50,149. Even the expensiveness
of tea is partly explained by the fact
that M. H. Karber drew $105,847 last
year in salary and S55,597 for bonus
$751; ,444 in all. Over the tea cups I?
You bet.
Big Fees Paid for Services"
And matches. The Diamond Match
Co. paid w A. Fairburn, president,
100000, and two vice presidents
$4,000 and $4,000 respectively.
Scratch that if you can.
Another revealing thing in these
lists is the amount paid for legal
services" and supervision manage
ment," and Fiscal" services. Thus,
the Cleveland Electric Illuminating
Co. pays its president $4,000, and its
vice president $4,000; while Sullivan
& Cromwell, special counsel, drew
S55,417; Squire, Sanders & Dempsey,
special counsel, S52,50o; and North
American Co., fiscal and other serv-
ices,' $40, ,760
The Electric Bond & Share Co.
drew $74,856 from the American
Power & Light Co. for supervision
and general services; $92,666 from
the Montana Power Co. for the same;
s96,141 from New Orleans Public
Service, Inc, for the same; and $685.
332 from the Utah Power & Light Co
with the same blind explanation. E..
B. & S. bobs up in several other
places.
The high cost of corporations. 1t
explains quite lot. Dairy farmers
have trouble in making both ends
meet, the price they get for their milk
is so low; but the Pet Milk Co. pays
S109,745 to its three chief officials
And oil and gas, and electric light,
and every one of the billions Of tin
cans, pay the same kind Of tribute.

Police Attack Celery
Workers With Tear Gas

Culver City, Calf. (AFLNS)-
About 800 striking celery workers in
the celery fields near here were at
tackled by police using tear gas
bombs in an attempt to disperse the
strikers. The clash took place when
a number of the strikers arrived at
the celery fields to persuade non
striking workers to join them. Most
of the strikers were Mexicans and
Filipinos. The operators of the cell
cry fields are Japanese. When the
police unlimbered their tear gas bombs
the strikers responded with sticks,
clods and celery crates. The casual
tiles on both sides were numerous.

By ELIOT HARRIS

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-The
high cost of corporations, one of the
biggest elements of the well known
high cost Of living, is partly explained
by the list of corporation salaries just
given out by the SEC.
Leonor f. Loree, prize labor batter
Of the railroad world, is drawing
S135,000 a year from two railroads.
AS president of the Delaware & Hud-
son, he gets 100000; and as chairman
Of the board of the K G. Southern, he
receives sac, 900. The ICC and Joseph
B. Eastman as co-ordinator of trans
portation have labored hard to get
railroad top salaries reduced; but Lo-
rec still holds out, though no other
railroad salary is now above the 500
900 mark
That, however, is by no means the
highest salary in the list. E. E. Craw-
ford, president of the McKeesport Tin
Plate Corp, drew $225,417 last year
as salary and, obviously for fear that
he couldn't live in fitting splendor on
such sum, the company gave him a
bonus of 100000. That makes $315,-
at to one man; and the tin plate in
dustry in this country is protected by
a tariff of one cent pound-which is
tax on every housewife in the land.
Somebody in congress ought to look
into this matter.
| Other Executives Highly Paid
The McKeesport concern doesn't
stop its high salaries with the presi-
dent. g. " Parkins, vice president,
draws down $4,000 in salary and
$4,000 bonus. Ten directors of the
company snoggled $383,867. The sec
retary and the plant superintendent
got $35,333 each, and two unspecified
employees checked oat with $67,4l7.
All told, the top officials of Nc
Keesport Tin Plate set the COM
.pany back last year to the tune
of 81 ,037 ,534 And, of course, the
company took it out of the con-
sumner, with extras.
Standard Brands, one of the bright
ideas Of he House of Morgan in that
dear 1929, paid Joseph Wiltshire, presi.
dent, $152,690. The two vice presi.
dents got little over 100000 each
Eighteen directors got away witt
/ $155,790; and Is unspecified officials
collected S555, ,070. Also, STANDARD

Washington, D. C. GLNS)-There
is ground for believing that silicosis
can be successfully fought in virtually
every industry, Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins declared in announc-
ing appointment of SO members to
committees which will attempt to
work out a program for ending sill
COSTS.
Agreement on appointment of the
committees was reached at a national
conference called here in April by
Secretary Perkins. The So men
named by the secretary to the four
committees include health experts,
representatives of labor, employers,
insurance companies, government,
technical societies and engineers.
The problem of silicosis prevention
will be studied from four different
angles, as follows:
The medical, or diagnosing the dis
ease in incipient stages and stopping
its course.
Engineering control, or working
out methods of equipping plants sub
ject to silica dust so as to prevent
any outburst of the disease.
Economic, legal and insurance
phases, which will take into considera-
tion the cost of the disease to indus
try because of claims, and the cost Of
fighting it.
Regulatory and administrative
phases, dealing with regulations that
might be put into effect to govern
plants liable to the disease.
Successful Fight Possible
The fact that silicosis has been pre-
vented in certain industries where
there is exposure is sufficient
grounds for making US believe that it
can be successfully combatted in prac-
tically all the industries and that
every effort should be made to study
the particular needs and problems of
those industries so as to devise ways
suitable for the control Of the di-
sease,' Miss Perkins said. She con-
tinued:
"The technique Of silicosis preven-
tion lies in keeping the dust from get
ting into the air which workers
breathe. This can be done by different
types of ventilation-not necessarily
general ventilation-but specialized
control and collection of the dust at
the point of origin so that it does not
escape into the workroom.
"The use of wetting down processes
is also often helpful. The keeping OF
rooms clean, the cleaning Of walls
floors and machinery is also of as.
sistance. The wearing of positive
pressure masks is a possible method Of
control when nothing else is available
but this is not practicable in most
places and under most circumstances
1t is difficult for men to do an eight
hour day wearing such mask, bu
for certain short-time exposures i
may be appropriate"
Compensation Coverage Planned
The secretary said that many dam
age suits had been brought by per
sons afflicted with the disease AM
who were not covered by workmen'
compensation laws.
An extremely expensive economic
situation ensues if every one who &C
quires silicosis can bring a damag

SPRING FEVER?
JUST A MYTH,
SAYS PHYSICIAN
Even So, Its Loggy Effect
Was Worse 100 Years
Ago, Asserts Dr.. Morgan.
BY TOM OCHILTREE

Spring fever is mythical dis
ease which is much less severe now
than 1t was 100 years ago. DR.. Her
man G.. Morgan. Health Board sec
rotary, mumbled today between
yawns.
Maybe you wonder how something
that isn't ever could be severe. But
that is one thing about weather
men and physicians-they always
have an explanation for things like
that.
The Rip Van Wrinkle feeling your
grandpappy thought was ar actual
malady is caused by SUD rays pro-
ducing change in the metabolism
or chemistry of the body, he said.
Medical literature contains no men
ton of the disease" and it isn't
even defined in large dictionaries.
Bat then, DR.. Morgan added spring
fevers like mustaches, aren't what
they used to be.
There Were Three Glasses
According to this student of early
American folklore, our pioneer fore
fathers divided all people into three
classes. There were those suffer-
ing from malaria those getting over
1t and those just catching it.
When winter set in and the In
dams quieted down, these people
swallowed large doses of quinine
with spasmodic gulps and ate salt
pork. That and the malaria made
them pretty weak and pale, DR..
Morgan said.
Then when the sun came out
again. and these settlers were able
to eat turnips top and dandelion
green's, the effect was terrific. Here
was medicine they needed, but the
first dose almost knocked them out,
DR.. Morgan asserted.
Sat During Recovery
Because they felt so weak and
dizzy, the pioneers assumed they
were getting some special kind of
spring sickness. They drank sassa-
frass tea, and just sat on their cabin
steps and "chucked" rocks at stray
hounds until they felt better.
This feeling is common to all peo-
pie living in temperate zones who
have to go for weeks without sun
shine. DR.. Morgan added. Cloudy
weather and indoor living naturally
bring lowered physical resistance.
With the first rays of spring sun,
there follows healthful systemic
effect which is accompanied by a
feeling of lethargy and complete re-
taxation" he said. In other words,
,it is harder to get up and go to work
than it is normally"
