STEEL COMPANY RAISES PAY,

PITTSBURGH, March II (P.-The
Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp. informed
employees representatives it would ex-
tend general pay increase on March
l6 to its more than 10000 Office and
salary workers.
Under the plan each Office depart
ment head would be granted an in
crease Of 10 per cent in his wage
budget and instructed to distribute the
sum to the employees on merit basis.
Ralph j. Martin Of Homestead, Pa,
member Of the Grievances Committee
OF the Pittsburgh Joint District Coun-
Gil OF the corporation, announced the
decision last night on leaving the
final conference with the manage
ment and his committee.
Employees requests for vacations
with pay and change in pay days
from bi-monthS to alternate Fridays
were held under consideration by the
company.
Leaders of the representatives met
today TO strengthen their organiza-
ton for the contest with the swelling
union forces of John L. Lewis.
They apparently had abandoned
plans for formation of self-financed
body in favor of retaining with
notifications the existing system of
collective bargaining, under which the
company pays all expenses.
Yesterday the Steering Committee,
which had been instructed by the
council to draw up new plan, re-
jected a proposal to join the American
Federation OF Labor in the battle with
Lewis Committee for Industrial Or
ganiZation.
John P. Frey veteran vice president
OF the federation, had explained the
unions set-up for the committee.
The Lewis representatives, who won
a contract with Carnegie Illinois last
week, will meet Friday to decide on
what further demands they will ask
at another conference with the COM
pany, scheduled to begin next Mon
day.

 "The girls crazy" he choked through dry lips. She's crazy or drunk. can't walk have doctors statements to prove it."
 For a moment, Cilly regretted her impulsiveness. She should have told the sergeant about 1t privately, so that he could check for himself. Now 1t was merely her word against Hunters, and he would take special care not to be discovered again.
 What time was this, Miss Pierce2" Dolan inquired.

 That's an outrageous lie, Mir. Corbett, and you know it!"
 Cilly turned to the sergeant, shaking with fury. But in his eyes, she saw doubt and disappoint- ment. It was part of his job to believe the worst-and he believed Corbett's story. She could see 1t. From now on, the fight would be doubly hard.
