MORE ARE LAID OFF IN GARY

Many Reports Regarding Possible Wage Cut Which Has r Not Yet Materialized Another cat tn ths personnel of some ef tna departments ot the. Gary works of th Illinois Steel Company's plant '. Gry will reduce the payroll this wexJt from 500 to 700 mor" nien according: to reliable Information rweived this mornln. Since the order turn through several weeks aro asMns ths-t every t!errtTnent cut its working forces down, it Is believed tht 1,560 to 2.000 men hive been laid oft Jid probably before tho payroll department Is through checking off the names et thoea who hve bon lsid off, the total w-il reach approximately 3,000 v orkmen. The only Vne.'wn reasons 1ven for the Tviyroll reduction Is to brln: the pereonnel of the departments down to a pre-war basla. It l a known fact that fhoTS were hundreds of the rien in the niTlV who were working that rea-lly didn't have a Job and probably an hour or two work a shift would finish the:r labor. In short, there were more men than there were jobs and consequently the tonoase per man was less In the reont year than It was shorty before and during the year. With the layir.c off of several thousand men, it will ln-4-rease the tonnage per man considerable. AU though officials of the Gsry works era reticent concerning: information reIstlva to th reduction of wages. It may be taken as warning- that wag-es may be cut In the future. Rumors have been circulated in the mill that wages are to be cut. but Intie-w of the fact that the Fteel Corporation have not made a wip Tvtucrtlon In the past twenty years, many workmen will not believe that a reduction will be made. It is also stated that the Steel Corporation wfll make no effort to cut wares if the tonnage per man Is brought ip to the standard and if the present high cost of production Is cut down to a minimum. The expenses In pome of ths. ispartments of the mills have also been high for some time and the labor reduction will assist-in bringing- the expenses of some of the mil's down.

"Without montionlntf Palmer by panic Untermyer made a scathing" attack on the department of Justice and the office of alien property custodian, which Palmer held before being named attorney greneral. The attorney g-tnerais inactivity ag-aint building- combinations which are being; exposed by the Ijcrkwood committee, for which Untermyer is acting- as counsel, was the basis of the attack. "There has never been a frovemmental department, national or state, so urgently in neod of immediate and painstaking- investigation as are those of the alien property Custodian and the department of juetlce," t'ntermyer declared. "Our rational honor Is Involved. The vast powers and patronage of t.ho great offices are said to have been used, and it ia the g-eneral bolief that they were Incidentally used to build up a rreat political machine, which, however, failed of Its purpose.
