l REPORT OF SALARY ANI)
WAGE COMMISSION
Orders .Vnnual Decrease in Salaries
of $19,232.
Raleigh,~N. Oct. 12.—OP)—Abo
. lition of five positions and a decrease
in the salaries paid annually by the
State of $10,232 were thf outsrand
■ iug features of the report of the Sal
ary and Wage Commission jnade pub
lie here Saturday night. Accompany
ing the 56 page book wh'ch contain
ed the action and recommendations
of the Commission' as to state em
ployes, their salaries working hours,
j holidays, schedules of pay for certain
[ positfbns aiul a mass of other data,
! was a statement explaining and sum-
I marizing the Commission’s work. Th>
J report was approved by Governor Me- i
Lean.
The state insurance department, j
jto suffer ds to employes. The Com-
I mission recommended tlie abortion of
j positions held by live safety education
agents and two fire investigators. The
saving annually by this was given as
$13,300 in salaries and $6,641.75 in
expenses. The work of the Commis
sion is not final as the charitable in
stitutions and educational establ'sh
j inents have not been included in the
report. The-figures given were exclus
i ive of these two classes.
| Briefly the commission recommend
ed the reduction of 108 asalaries, the
increase of 29 and 1464 remained un
changed. The report showed a total
of 1,601 in the non-institutional de
partments and agencies. These were
receiving a total of $2,906,230 in sal
aries annually. The figures were bas
ed upon data assembled as of April
15 and become effective
first.
*‘The purpose of the Conuhission.” j
said the statement issued with the
report, “was not, as conceived by some. |
merely to cut salaries and wages, but |
rather to classify and place oh a bus
iness basis the compensation paid em
ployes of the State. The Commission
spent approximately six months hi the
work assigned so it and after mature
j consideration made its report to the
Governor on October 1, 2925.
“The Commission found in some in
stances inefficient employes were be
ing paid salaries higher than efficient
employes in other departments. In
some instances in the same depart
ment different salaries were paid to
I employes of comparatively the same
degree of efficiency, training and ser
vice. It has been the purpose to
eliminate inequalities and discrimina
tions wherever found and while the
Commission realizes that the full ben
| etits arising from its work will not be
immediate and that some errors will
have to be eliminated when they are
made apparent by the p ractical work
ing of the plan, it believes that the
report will justify the action of the!
General Assembly in enacting the law I
and that by following up the work |
fts outlined in this report much per- j
manent good will result.” *. * *
“The Commission lias provided first:
, classification of employes according
to the duties assigned them by tb£
heads of departments; and second:
has prescribed a range of salaries and
wages for each class of employes.
“Uniform working hours, sick leave
and vacation leave have been provid
ed in the rules, thus preventing one
employe from obtaining advantage
over others.”
The statement adds that each de
partment head is left free to select
his own employes under certain rules

! Washington. Oct. 12.— UP) —The
Army and Navy were charged today
by Chairman Sladden, of the House
appropriations committee, with squan
dering millions of dollars “in a pur
poseless, meaningless, endless experi
mental orgy,” in technical airsraft de
, velopment.
1 Test'fying before the President's air
board which resumed hearings after
a recess of several days, Mr. Madden
declared technical development of av
iation could no longer be “safely left”
to the two military services if the
United States was to’ take its place
“among the countries of the world in
the air."
“If credit is to be given witnesses’
who have preceded me," he asserted,
“the experimental development work
conducted by the army and navy since
the war has been productive o’ very
little if any advance toward a plan
which might be accepted by Con
gress.”
“You have been told by men who
should know, that with few exceptions
no real steps have boon made.” lie
said.
Citing testimony of Major General
Mason Patrick, chief of the irmy air
service, that 202 pursuit planes purs
chased by the army have been found
deficient iu vision requirements, Mr.
Madden said he had “heard something
cf a charge of criminal negligence,
but that borders on criminal waste.”.
“Think of buying 262 pursuit planes
that a pilot has difficulty in seeing out
of,” failure of the army aud navy to
spend their money “intelligently” in
the air service, he declared, is rot
unique as “similar extravagances get
nowbere programs are being carried
on in tank development, artillery de
velopment. chemical warfare, and am
munition development.”
A message from Charlotte states
that the condition of Miss Constance
Cline, who underwent an operation
1 at St. Peter’s Hospital at 9:30 this
morning, is very favorable. Miss
i Ciine stood the operation well.

Children Among Those!
Drowned.
Melbourne, Fla., Get. 12. — (A 3 ) — ,
While fishermen and others were
searching today for three missing holl
ies of 14 persons who were drowned j
here yesterday when the Clara A, a
40-foot pleasure launch, capsized, the
bodies of 11 others which had been
recovered were be'ng prepared for
burial a*id shipment to their homes.
Most of those who lost their lives
were Kansas people here on a junket!
to insjfrct Florida farm properties of j
the Melbourne Farm Co. whose guests
they were on the fatal excursion.
The trip yesterday iu the Clara A
was a part of the company’s program I
of entertainment for their guests.
It was the intention of Captain Ed '
Arnold, master of the little craft, to
take them for a ride on the Atlantic
Ocean, but after negotiating Sebas
tian Inlet, 18 miles south of here, he
decided the seas outside were too
rough for his craft, so he attempted to
turn back.
Survivors said the boat did not re- ]
spond to the helm quickly enough aud
the waves swept over tier decks when |
she was about a quarter around, j
sweeping several from the deck. She j
had not recovered from this shocy
when a second wave hit her, swamp
ing the boat.
The heroic efforts of James Arnold,
12-year-old sou of Captain Arnold,
saved the lives of four passengers
who had been thrown into the raging
breakers, when his father's launch
turned turtle.
Survivors said the lad swam nsho*e
and obtained a small boat. Returning
to the yacht he jumped into tliewater.
and fighting against the high waves
Ktieceeded in jdaemg Tour persons in
the boat and lahding them satnelv.
Two children were among those
drowned.
Dan Roach went down with lis
father, C. E. Roach, and Miss Loietta
Dreilling, 15, who had accompanied
I>. U. Ruckles on the excursion, was
the second youthful victim.

CRUCIAL DAYS
The First Period of Our

j Expires Next Monday £|t
Midnight.

Six more workings days remain in
the firAt period of The Tribune-Times
campaign. Well may the candidates
| in this truly great offer ask them
selves what they are going to do to- ;
ward cinching one of the big auto
mobiles in these all-important big vote
days. They are t’ue crucial days of
I t’lis content, the time when the ulti
mate winners show strength in lliek'
work and the time when the" lescier
I candidates keep up only an ordinary
j pace or drop into a slump.
Six more days until midnight, Mon
day, October 19th. We have known
;al lalong, froifi the first announee
| ment cf this campaign, that this date
| was to mark the first decline in the
vote given on subscription* to ’Hie |
Tribune and Times. But now that it *
looms in the near future it is brought
more closely home that this coming
week is the biggest time in the whole 1
campaign, the time when each one M
• should do his or her utmost toward
: piling up t’iie winning vote in the eloc
j tion.
It is important to realize that two,
| three, four and five-year subscriptions,
j especially the latter, are invaluable to ■
candidates in this first period. True, J
net many of these can be command
ed by any one person, but each one,
no doubt had hopes of getting a few.
Now is the time to get them in when
