1t Costs County Money
BY the Associated Press


KANSAS CITY, Kans.-Wyan-
dotte County taxpayers pay their
bills so promptly it has the county
quite worried.
H. P. Carter, county auditor, said
many we're taking advantage Of a
per cent reduction for early pay
ment of their full tax bill
The county has already lost s26-
900 and probably will lose another
$4,000 that way, he explained.
The county is going to ask the
Legislature to amend the law.

&-Hour Compliance
May Cost Steel Plants
100000 a Year
Industry Faces Loyoff
Of 100, 1000 Workers,
Observers Estimate
BY JESSE o. IRWIN.

The steel industry will comply
with President Roosevelt's AZ
hour war work week order at a
cost of S104, 100000 annually
in wage increases and layofS
amounting to approximately
100000 skilled and semi skilled
workers, authoritative sources
said yesterday.
Although The order. as it now
stands. technically covers only two
steel areas. Baltimore and Buffalo.
the sources said the War ManpoWer
Commission has been informed that
the industry Will place it in effect in
all plants regardless OF locations.
/ The reasons for that it was ey-
planned. is due to the War Labor
Board S msiStence on a uniform wage
structure throughout the industry.
and such has been the policy OF the
industry itself.
Go Protest Expected.
I The sources said the order will not
increase production because the in
dustry is now operating at ingot
capacity. The estimated $4,000 .0OO
weekly wage increase, it was pre-
dicted, would drive OPA ceilings up
ward. The industry now is working
on 40.2-hour weekly schedule.
The release Of the 100000 workers
/ follows the executive orders intent
/ but 1t was pointed out both in in
duStrial and labor circles that it
would call for the strenuous OBJ
/ lection on the part of the United
Steel workers of America. So far
this strong Clio union has remained
silent.
There is also a question Of the
adaptability of such labor to other
war jobs. whether industrial OF
/ agricultural. Even more important
it was said. would be the willingness
Of the workers themselves. regard
less Of union approval or disapprovaI
I Of such transfer. 1t was also
! pointed out that local draft boards
may seize the opportunity of induct-
/ ing many of the released men.
Steel Industry Differs.
/ The sources said that from ar
! overall standpoint, output of both
raw and finished steel products is
at almost maximum level. If this
I is being maintained with an average
work week of 40 hours. they added
it is obvious that the same number
OF employees now maintaining opera,
tons at maximum level could no
be boosted to 48-hour week, unleS,
they were paid time aid a hal
overtime for standing around"
The steel producing areas of Pitts,
burg, Cleveland and Gary. IND.
were included in the WWCs lis
Of l02 areas which anticipate {
labor shortage within six months
and in which the "48-hour work
week probably will be ordered"
The steel industry, it was ex.
planned, differs from many .othel
industries in that it has a consid.
cradle portion of its operations OF
a 24-hour day, seven-day-a-weel
basis. In such cases, like coke pro.
duction, blast furnace operations, tn,
paramount question is keeping thu
works going regardless of how many
men are used or how many hour,
they work.

Salvage Plan
Use Method ia
Roise 'kormondie'

NEW YORK. Aug. 10 - P)
- Salvage methods being used
to raise the former French liner
Normandie are almost identical
with a plan roughly sketched by
President Roosevelt two days
after the Giant vessel was swept
BY fire year and half ago,
saws Mayor F. H. LaGuardia.
The Mayor disclosed this yes
tcrday during a visit TO the
scene of operations several
hours before the 79,000-ton ship
&C ieved 45-degree angle, the
position at which Navy experts
said actual salvage and reflttlng
work could begin
LaGuardia recalled that two
days after the ship had sunk he
had sat with the President in
the White House discussing the
disaster. At that time, he said,
Mr.. Roosevelt drew rough
plan showing how he believed
the vessel could be righted.
He took pcrcil and paper,
LaGuardia continued and drew
a diagram for me of a ship S
side, showing a division into
compartments and explaining
how a pumping operation could
be carried out
The Presidents diagram, he
said, as almost exactly like
the chart | saw today. He knows
his ships.
Last night, pumping opera
tiona continued as the liner
reached the 45-degree angle and
officials said the work was pro-
crossing so moCthly it might
not be necessary TO move her
