LABOR STRIKES ARE PROTESTS TO WAGE CUTS Hundreds Walk Out When Eastern Firms Slash Workers’ Pay. By Scrippi-ITaward Vewspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, April 23.—Union labor, the administration and progressive employers are joining In protest against wage-cutting. Labor, for the first time, is speaking by means of protest strikes. Following wage cuts ranging from 7Vi. per cent to as high as 50 per cent In 113 mills in New York and .Massachusetts, hundreds of hosiery Workers are on strike. Wage cuts in eighteen Philadelphia upholstery waving firms resulted in a walk-out of 4,000 workers. Several hundred machinists at the Paterson, N. J., plant of the Wright Aeronautical works have struck, 500 Out in Newark A threatened strike of four hundred shopmen on the Louisiana & Arkansas Railway following a wage slash of 5 cents an hour, is being arbitrated by an* emergency board appointed by President Hoover following failure of the United States Board of Mediation to effect an agreement. Some 500 cleaners and dyers are out in Newark. According to President Green of the American Federation of Labor, wage cuts are not general, but are confined for the most part to small firms. He cited chiefly textile, bituminous coal, rubber manufacture, metal trades and common labor as feeling the brunt of the movement. “Indications are that we’re moving out of the depression,” he said. “If employers would maintain high wages until 1932, all this discussion about wage cuts would cease. 4 ’ Hoover Frowns on Cuts The department of labor reports no serious wage-cuts on federal public works since the Davis-Bacon “prevailing wage law” went into effect April 3. -On the contrary, it is said, a number of contractors who took puDlic work contracts prior to that date have agreed to the prevailing wage. Mr. Hoover Is said to frown upon wage-cutting and to stand by his October speech before the American Bankers’ Association in which he assailed the suggestion of certain bankers tha* *—>"-'c-h living standards should be lowered. Assistant Commerce Secretary Klein has been warning employers against wage-cuts in speeches made in the east

LIFE LOST IN LAKE

Amateur Sailor Clings to Sinking Boat 24 Hours.

CHICAGO. April 23.—How an amateur yachtsman sailed into Lake Michigan alone at midnight in a twenty-two-foot sloop, met a storm and clung perhaps for a day to the gunwhale of the sinking craft was revealed todav. The body of William E. Kegg, 31, was found by coast guards, floating beside his half submerged craft, three miles from shore. He had almost completed his daring trip from South Haven, Mich., when the boat foundered. His body was kept afloat by a life preserver. Physicians said he probably had remained alive twentyfour hours in the water.
