went to the door and called to the

Your mother and Charlotte alone
for a little While. [ think they have
some things to talk about
Both Cholly and Mrs. Haywortl
were taken by surprise. When they
were alone, it was the mother who
spoke. She smoothed a place on the
divan and motioned to the younS
girl.
Come here and sit beside me,
child"
ChoIIy's heart beat swiftly, but
she obeyed at once. Dover's moth
er lifted her chin and studied the
sensitive, lovely face sravely.
Then she sighed:
You think I'm a pretty hard
hearted old lady, I guess. And L
can't say I blame you. l suppose
YOU know how angry I've been be

Cholly nodded, finding her voice.

special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, July 16.-Declaring
that salaries of top executives Of
American corporations are much
smaller than the public imagines
or Government figures lead them to
believe, American Business maga-
zine for July reports that 46 per
cent OF the presidents of corpora
ton in the United States actually
receive salaries of $4,000 a year or
less.
From survey which covered
typical corporations in more than
ESQ lines of business, it was found
by the editorial stan of the maga-
zine that slightly over 20 per cent
OF all corporation presidents report
ing received more than s25 GOO in
annual salaries, while PIG per cent
received from $4,000 to s25 900. In
the $4,000 to $4,000 a year bracket
were 1872 per cent of all CORPORA
ton presidents. The balance of 46
per cent received $4,000 a year or
less.
These figures do not include
bonuses or profit-sharing arrange
ments which are enjoyed by 32.4 per
cent OF the presidents whose salaries
were reported. These bonuses range
from small Christmas remem-
brances up to sums almost equal to.
and in one case larger than, the

to sluggiShness in subsequent pro-
ceedlngs. Extreme gains were re-
duced at the close. Transfers were
around 100000 shares for the first
time in about two weeks.
Brokers attributed the revival
partly to the thought the market,
which hit 22-year-low turnover
yesterday, may have been sold
out and was due at least for a
temporary upsWing despite possible
adverse news developments.
While industrial prospects, partic.
ularly those tied to the huge arma-
ment program, remained a comfort
ing influence for bullish forces,
many traders still Rugged the safety
zone pending outcome of the Demo-
cratic convention and settlement Of
the question of will he or won't
he run?"
In addition, sentiment was handi-
capped by dispatches telling of an
impending Hitler peace offer to the
British and other bulletins warning
of an imminent German smash at
England. Far Eastern rumblingA

cabinet and shifting of part of tho

$50 Mill Workers Get
S11,063 Back WAGES
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HARRISONBURG, Va, July 16-
More than $50 employees of the
Shenandoah Knitting Mills Co. at
Shenandoah, Page County, will re-
ceive an aggregate of s11 ,O63 in back
wages from the company, under a.
Judgment signed by Judge John
Paul here yesterday in United States
District Court.
A complaint filed by B. R. Worrell,
regional attorney of the Wage and
Hour Division of Richmond. charged
the company with violation of a
wage order issued by the admins
traitor Of the Wage and Hour Divi-
sion on September Is, 1899, setting
a minimum wage of 40 cents an
hour for all employees in the full
fashioned branch of the hosiery
industry.
The complaint also alleged that
the company failed to pay its
workers the minimum wage and
overtime at the rate of one and one
half times the regular rate during
the period from October "a. 1898,
when the act became effective, to
the effective date of the wage order.
Mr.. Worrell said this was the first
action brought against a Virginia
employer operating under a wage
scale recommended by an industry
committee.
