NEW YORK. Feb 25.-Alfred p
Sloan. jr., chairman of General Mo-
tors Corp, today announced reductions
of 10 per cent in the pay of salaried
employees receiving up to $4,000 an
nually and larger reductions on SAL
aries Of executives receiving higher
pay.
Adjustment of compensation of SAL
aried employees. Sloan said, was made
necessary by the present contraction
in sales and follows substantial re-
ductions in earnings of the corpora
tion's hourly workers, due to the de-
creased number of working hours.
Sloan's statement said:
Recognizing the drastic reduction
in the volume of business now being
experienced, it becomes necessary to
give consideration to adjusting the
compensation of the salaried employe
Our wage earners are receiving SUBJ
stantially less than formerly as re-
suit of the decrease in the number of
working hours.
In view of these circumstances it
appears fair and equitable at this
time to all concerned to make the
following adjustments. to become ef-
fective as of March l, 1898.
'Salaried employees will receive q
reduction of 10 per cent in salary up
to $4,000 annually.
Executives receiving salaries Of
over $4,000 annually will receive a
reduction of 20 per cent additional on
any excess over $4,000 and up to
$50,000.
Executives receiving over $4,000
annually will receive an additional
reduction Of 80 per cent on the excess

Receiving Vision for Service
THE WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

shall see the Son of man coming in
cloud with power and great glory
The Purpose of the Vision.
Peter mistoolSS' the purpose Of the
vision. He wanted to stay there on
the mount and enjoy it forever:
Peter answereths and said unto Jesus,
Lord, it is good for us to be here and
let us make three tabernacles, one for
thee. and one for Moses, and one for
Elijah. For he wist not what to an
sWer; for they became sore afraid. =
1t was time of high and holy in
spiration for the three disciples which
would prolong indefinitely. But in
Splratlon is never an end in itself.
The privileged vision of the mount
must be carried to the underprivileg-
ed in misery in the valley below. The
vision and the voice must move to
venture in service in behalf of those
who sit in darkness and in the shad-
ow of death in the lowlands of So
clety. Church going and convention
attending never will of themselves
save the world. They serve their God
given purpose only as they illuminate,
inspire and inflame those who wor-
ship on the mount to come down from
the mount with Christ to the valley of
human misery and serve by sharing
the blessings of the mount with the
teeming multitudes in the depths of
human need below.
