April Finds Reduction lu Working; - Wages for Several Firms In the East Soft Snaps Especially to Suffer by ew Order Thousands Involved. PITTSBURG, Pa., April 1. Begin ning today the United States Stee Corporation w'll put In operation a carefully matured plan of retrench ment, the purpose being to reduce its annual payroll $1,500,000 or $2,000, 000. By careful weeding out of what has been known as "soft snaps' or high-salaried jobs, which can be filled by men perhaps not so expert yet at lower salaries, It is expected that this will be accomplished with little or no interference with the working forces. At the National Tube Company plant at McKeesport, the tube-making end of the United States Steel Cor poration, twenty-two high salaried de partment heads have Just been cut in salaries, which is almost horizontal, taking effect today. Almost all of thorn have resigned rather than submit. HARRISBl'RG. Pa., April 1. A general cut of 10 per cent in wages In all departments of the Pennsylva- ent localities took effect today.
