The union is asking 18h cents
an hour plus other benefits.

Mr.. Brubaker said that from
1919 to 1899 productivity in the

has gone up 167 per cent for an
average of more than 5 per cent
per year compounded annually
and including the depression

Ben Moreel, president of Jones

lin Pittsburgh last night over a
Nationwide radio network, said
wage boosts in the steel industry
without price hikes would dras-

Probe Of Political
Figures, Hoey Says
Dy The Asseeiofed Press

Senate investigators said today
their decision to delay a probe
into conduct Of certain political
figures does not mean they are
trying to 'duck anything"

resentative Boykin, Democrat, Of
Alabama: Mrs. Flo Bratten. sec
retary to Vice President Barkley,
and Charles E. Shaver. q former
Senate employe.
Senator Hoey said this was done
because the Justice Department
was looking into some Of the po-
litical cases and ''it is hardly
proper to have parallel investi-
cations Of the same facts"
Reluctance Denied.
"n We are not satisfied that the
Justice Department Investigations
have been adequate, we'll handle
lit then" he said.
Advised that's some persons have
indicated the decision reflected q
reluctance of congressional groups
Ito investigate the conduct of con-
lgressional officials, Senator Hoey
told a reporter:
I'VE realized that construction
might be placed on it. We dis
cussed it thoroughly. But IT. Is
not correct"
In one of the cases. the subcom-
mittee had set out to explore pro-
lpriety of Mr.. Boykin's reported
intercessions with the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corp. in behalf Of
borrowers.
At issue in the other Is the pro-
lpriety of interceSsions by Mr..
Shaver and Mrs. Bratten In help
ing friends to obtain RFC loans.
Senator Hoey said the role Of Mr..
Shaver in these activities, winch
both have acknowledged, is under
Justice Department scrutiny, but
that he knows of no Justice De.
partment investigation of Mrs.
Bratten. Both cases would be In.
vestigated together If there is an
inquiry by him, he said. because
Mr.. Shaver and Mrs. Bratten at
times helped the same loan seekers.
No Evidence of Fees.
Senator Hoey's staff is reported
to have found no evidence that
Mrs. Bratten received any fees
from the loan applicants she says
she helped.
Mr.. Shaver is a former aide to
