PITTSBURG, Pa., April 1. Begin

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,

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
