Head Of General
Motors Received
S586,1OO In '49

New York (LPA)-Charles E.
Wilson, president of General Mo-
tors, got 1886, 100 for his services
in 1949-or maybe it was $611.047
1t depends on the figuring. He got
5000, 100 in salary as director fees,
and a bonus of $308,021 and 1243
shares of stock. For award pur-
poses the stock was valued at
$61.93 share, but at the time the
award was made the shares were
quoted on the Exchange at $82.
On the $82 basis, Wilson's total
take was SOIL ,047. Wilson was one
of 61 executives to whom GIN paid
bonuses of around $7,000,000. Of
the 81, the top ten account for al
most $3,000,000.
GIN in 1949 set an all-time record
Of $665,434 200 profits on sales of
So, zoo, 900, 900, and payroll of ST.
440, ,690,450 for, 401 1896 employees.
GIN and the United Auto Workers
are in the first steps of contract
negotiations.
Four GIN vice-presidents will get,
respectively, $411,300; $411,100;
SAIL, 100; and 311,000. Chief of
the GIN auto finance firm gets
$227, ,450.
But that's not much, considering
their caliber, Alfred Sloan, Jr.,
chairman of the board, explained
in 1916. "The cost to the business
of maintaining the highest avail
able standard of managerial talent
is relatively inconsequential," he
said.
How do other bigshots make out?
Here are figures for executives of
some other billion-dollar corpora
tons: c. III. Greenewalt, dupont,
$438,550; j. F. Drake, Gulf Oil,
$390,983; Eugene Grace, Bethlehem
Steel, 1898, 1896; Charles f. Wilson,
General Electric, $277,00O; X. T..
Keller, Chrysler, $3.50, 800; b. F..
Fairless, US Steel, $219,747; w. s..
S. Rogers, Texas Co., $171,178.
These figures do not tell all,
however, for Chrysler, for example,
has three vice-presidents and they
draw total of $684,047. The du
Pont weep gets $313,350. President
of Bethlehem Steel gets $273,328.

BY ALVAINE HAMILTON

Washington (LPA) - Out OF q
mountain of evidence on the inter
national and domestic monopoly
effects Of the giant steel corpora
tions the House Monopoly Investi-
eating Committee continues to un-
earth a wealth of evidence. Chair
| man Emanuel Celler Cd, N. "
has already indicated that the
three-week probe of the steel in
dustry will lead to proposals to
strengthen the antitrust laws.
One star witness was Commiss-
ioner Donald C. Cook of the Secur-
tiles and Exchange Commission,
who gave wealth of evidence on
the size of the steel industry, its
financing, its interlocking direc-
torates, and the connections be-
tween j. p. Morgan Co., U. S. Steel
Corp, and scores of other corpora
tions, railroads and insurance com
panies.
Under questioning by Celler,
Cook agreed that q. S. SteePs posi-
ton in the nations economy is very
similar to that of the giant electric
utility empires in the days before
the Public Utility Holding Co. act
ordered them broken up into small
er units. The SEC member said
consumers enjoy lower electric
rates, and the stockholders benefit
by the greater management effic-
iency that has resulted from break
ing up the utilities holding COM
panies. Cook agreed that U. ).
Steel was in much the same rela-
tions to its many subsidiaries as
the power empires had been.
n Cooks voluminous material, in
cluding charts and tables that kept
committee members occupied for an
entire day, brought out that:
1-Of the 10 major steel com
panies today, IA, are the result OF
mergers of hundreds of smaller
companies. None of the 1G was fin
anced in the way traditionally asso-
ciated with competitive industries
by sale of equity securities to
the public, with the proceeds of the
sale going to the company itself. u.
s. Steel has only once publicly sold
common stock-and then, in 1929,
II merely offered its stockholders
the privilege of purchasing one
share for every eight they already
held.
2-The 16 companies have enor
mously increased their capital
through keeping profits inside the
corporation, rather than distribut
ing them either to consumers
through lower prices or to stock
holders as dividends. In the past l6I
years, the 16 steel companies i'm
creased their net plant and work
ing capital by the enormous sum
of 81 ,235, ,004, 900. But most of this
represents working capital; there
was only $l15,063,000 in net add
itions to steel-producing facilities.
3-One case Of apparent viola
ton of the antitrust laws, and
dozens of fragrant cases of inter
locking directorates allowed by a
loophole in the present laws, were
revealed by the SEC study. Re-
ferred to the Justice Department
for action was the case of j. III.
Hillman Jr., director both of Alan
Wood Steel Co. and Pittsburgh
Steel CO., who is also president of
Texas Gas Transmission Co., of
Pennsylvania Bankshares & Secur-
ties Corp, Pennsylvania Industries
and Hillman Coal q Coke Co. Hill

two industrial concerns, and a
steamship company. All but one of

Implement The 1916 Employment Act
To Beat Job|essness, Spokesmen Urge

Washington (LPA)-It's up to
Congress to act swiftly to wipe out
the unemployment swe In g
through many cities and areas, four
unemployed Auto Workers from
Michigan declared after explaining
their plight to Congressman, Sena-
tors and federal officials here.
They said they'd told everyone
they'd seen that the government
should enact a threefold program
Immediately.
The most important action Con-
gress could take, they said, would
be to pass the item in the Far
Deal program necessary to imple-
ment the Employment Act of 1916
and maintain maximum employ
ment throughout the nation. But
even if the Congress refuses to take
this vital step, it at least should
adopt the temporary steps proposed
recently by Philip Murray. These
are extension of unemployment
compensation to 26 weeks every
where, and to So weeks in areas
where more than nine percent of the
workers are unemployed; institu-
ion of a public works program,
md establishment of new Civil
ian Conservation Corps. In addi-
ton, the UAW spokesman said that
government contracts should be
routed to the distressed areas.
The UAW representatives, Wal
fer Sowles, Charles Bowers, Ellis
Howard and Owen Whitford, said
Overall figures on employment are
no comfort to the unemployed" who
have exhausted unemployment pay
and are now on relief. They said
they were determined" to press
Congress for action now despite
the bipartisan combine against it.
They quoted Walter Reuther, UAW
president, who has called unem-
ployment 'the unfinished business
If this country, and said that per-
haps big corporations ought to be
prevented from condemning whole
communities to ruin by "transferr-
'ng work from one plant to another
with no regard for the workers and
other businesses affected"
Nothing but "a strong demand
from states and local communities
that Congress do something defin-
ite and practical about unemploy-
ment before it goes home to cam
paign for reelection will get the
necessary hearings and floor action
even on emergency measures" said
Paul Sifton, Washington legisla-
tive representative for the UAW.
"The real place to turn on the
power for steady full employment
is in the election booth," he added.
"That is where the Fair Deal is go

Good Motoring
Practices Urged
For All Motorists

Most of Ohio's 100000 motor
vehicle accidents during 1949 oc-
Cured within incorporated munich
palities, Chief of Police, H. S.
Weaver, told us today. But only
80 per cent of the fatalities were
in the cities. Lower operating
speeds in town probably account
for the better ratio of deaths to
accidents shown by cities.
The Chief pointed out that a
majority of the pedestrian injuries
result from city traffic. Last year
there were about $4,000 pedestrians
injured. Three unsafe practices
were responsible for more than half
of this kind of accidents: namely,
crossing streets between intersec-
tions, stepping into path of traffic,
and from the concealment of a
parked car and playing in the
street.
"Operation Safety" is emphasiz-
ing "Motor Manners" during
March. Many of our traffic acci-
dents result from discourteous,
thoughtless or illegal driving. The
Chief listed the following practices
as evidence Of good motor manners:
1. Allow one car length between
your car and the one ahead for
each ten miles per hour of
speed. Increase the distance in
wet or icy weather.
2. Be alert for trains at all rail-
road crossings. SLOW down when
you see the round yellow sign or
white crossbuck. With double
tracks, see that both are clear
before driving onto the cross
ing. Stop whenever the signal
is operating.
8. Pass only where you have
clear view ahead and there is
no traffic approaching. Know

A farmer had just hired a new man
and sent him out to do the milking.
After a while the farmer went to the
barn to see how the new man was
getting along. When he got there he
found the new man had finished
milking and was letting the cow
drink milk from the pail.
''Why are you doing that?" said
the farmer.
''Well, you see,' said the man, "the
cow put her foot in the pail so I
thought I'd better run the milk
through again"

Fl. L. Dusenberry explaining the results
of the length-of-run and moisture pene-
fration demonstration at Terry. where
the record crowd of $50 farmers at
tended the irrigation show on June ~.
taken at the irrigation shows near
Laurel and Deer Lodge. At Laurel
the large tubes were eliminated be-
cause penetration was so slow that
it would be a waste of water to run
a large stream down the row and
waste it off the field for long period
of time while waiting for penetration
to take place.
The results of this test would in
dictate that tube even smaller than
the 1-inch size should be used be-.
cause considerable waste would oc-
cur with the 1-inch tube Results of
the test indicate that run of 1900
feet would not be out of order. The
time required will probably be IL
hours or more and the size of tube
"a inch or less.
Deer Lodge Test
At Deer Lodge records were kept
on two sizes of tube because there
appeared to be no reason to elimi-
nate either size after the first half
hour, Since erosion was not a factor
with the large tube, it seemed rea-
sonable that it might be the proper
size for use in that soil. At the end
of one-half hour the moisture was
down into the lower portion of the
root zone for the first 400 feet and
well into the root zone at the 500
and 600-foot stations. This would in
dictate a run of about 900 feet using
a 2-inch tube for duration of 3 to
hours.
