HUGE RAILROAD SALARIES FACE SENATE EXPOSE List to Be Printed as Aid in Considering Pleas for Loans. By Bcrippt-Hovoard \ruepoper Allinnce WASHINGTON, June 29.—Payment of salaries of up to $135,000 a year to railroad presidents and other executives will be disclosed in detail to the senate In a few days, when a document listing all such payments to executives of class one roads is printed. Senator James Couzens 'Rep., Mich.), obtained the figures from the interstate commerce commission, and used some of them with telling effect in his fight to obtain enough money to enable the commission to carry on its valuation work. Couzens told the senate as examples that the president of the Pennsylvania system and the chairman of the Southern Pacific's executive committp each get $135,000 cutive committee each get $135,000 their doors. Recalls Black Movr The debate recalled the unsuccessful attempt of Senator Hugo Black <Dem., Ala.) to curtail allegedly excessive salaries paid by railroads and other concerns, which receive loans from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Couzens, before obtaining authorization to have the full list of salaries printed as a senate document, cited the following: President, Pennsylvania system, $135,000: vice-president, $58,500; five vice-presidents of divisions, $31,500 each; vice-president in charge of taxation and real astate valuation, $36,000; vice-president in charge of finance, $45,000; vice-president in charge of traffic, $45,000; vice-presi-dent in charge of operations, $54,000, and others down to SIO,OOO each. On the Southern Pacific system, he said, the chairman of the executive committee receives $135,000, the president, $90,000; the executive vice-president, $36,000; the. vicechairman of the executive committee, $76,500. and other executives, from $31,500 down to SIO,OOO each. Needed $5,000,000 Loan The. Baltimore Ac Ohio, Couzens said, has forty-two officials receiving SIO,OOO or more each. The president get $120,000; the senior vicepresident, $76,500; another vicepresident, $54,000, and yet another $45,000. Congress said that in spite of the financial condition of the St. Louis and San Francisco system, necessitating a loan of $5,000,000 from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, its president receives $63,000 a. year and the. chairman of the board, $36,000.

When her friends confide to yoa that Miss Ethel Hawkins, 517 West Merrill street, is on the “up and up,’’ there’s no denying it. Tuesday afternoon she climbed the flagpole on the statehoase grounds to install anew flag cable. That was just a minor job, however. Miss Hawkins’ business is all lines of steeplejack work. She’ll paint a smokestack, water tank, building dome, or anything else that’s out of reach of an extension ladder.

DRY LAW STILL STANDS, EDICT TO 11, UGENTS Wet Swing Doesn’t Worry Woodcock; Spurs On His Forces. By United Pre** WASHINGTON, June 29.—Prohibition Director Amos W. W. Woodcock's answer to the tremendous anti-prohibition swing in both major parties is to spur his forces to still stricter enforcement of the dry laws. “Whatever the two major political parties decide with reference to prohibition is of little consequence to us," Woodcock said. ‘ There is no possibility that we will slacken our efforts.'’ The Republican party has declared for submitting a repeal proposal to the states. The Democratic convention will take similar action, or go still farther and urge repeal. until the federal prohibition law actually is repealed, Woodcock decrees, it must be enforced unrelentingly. Wet leaders in congress say the eighteenth amendment can not be modified or repealed for at least two years even if the voters overwhelmingly favor a change. Several weeks ago Woodcock sent the following message to all members of his force: “The current discussions about national prohibition, which are bei coming intense as the political con-

ventions approach, must not swerve any member of the bureau from the straight line of his duty or depress his courage. On the other hand, it is a time for renewed effort and faith.” HOOSIER SEEKS GOLD City Man Head of Firm in Alaskan Rush. Thomas D. Mitchell, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. D.
