BONUSES PAID
TO FIVE MILLION
[Continued From First Page]
plans and Insurance benefits is made
by Secretary of Labor Wilson, based
upon reports received by his depart
ment.
AVhile no estimate of tlie aggregate
nuiount of money distributed under
those various plants for helping em
ployes to celebrate Christmas and to
enable them to meet the high cost of
living Is made by tho government,
facta collected by investigators indi
cate that it will exceed $300,000,000.
The employes who have or will
chiefly benefit from these concessions
made by Individuals, firms and cor
porations include almost every variety
of labor —clerical forces, skilled work
man, mill workers, miners, railway
employes, cotton, silk, worsted and
factory hands and common laborers.
The reports to the department of
labor indicate that the increases in
wages average about 10 per tent.,
while the bonuses to salaried employes
ranee from 5 to 50 per cent.
Industrial l'lanls Generous
The industrial enterprise have con
tributed the larger part of the aggre
gate Increases in the way of wages aiul
salaries, and it is significant of the
prosperity which the country is now
enjoying that every variety of under
taking is represented in the distribu
tion of benefits.
Some of the larger concerns like the
United States SteelComporation,Stand
ard Oil, Bethlehem Steel, the Ameri
can Woolen Company, the Cotton
Manufacturers of New Kngland, the
Eastman Kodak Company, the Con
solidated Gas Company and its sub
sidiaries of New York; the Westing
house Electric Company, the General
Electric Company, the Western Union
Telegraph Company, the American
Telephone and Telegraph Co. and
many of the railroads have granted
notable Increases in the wages of more
than 1,000,000 men employed by them.
New York, where the greatest de
cree of prosperity Is reflected by the
condition of the financial institutions,
has naturally headed the list. The
■tockholders of most of the enterprises
whose securities are traded in on the
stock and other exchanges have good
reason to rejoice over the prosperity
of the country because of the fact that
extra dividend checks have come to
them.
Steel Employes Gain
Third Wage Advance
New York, Dec. 18. The United
States Steel Corporation announced on
Saturday its intention to distribute its

scribe for 35,000 shares of stock at a
price somewhat below the market. In
addition some employes will get salary
increases on January 1.
The total amount of the bonus has
not been determined. Chairman Elbert
H. Gary said, but lie roughly esti
mated that this compensation, to
gether with the three wage increases
this year and salary increases, would
amount to $33,000,000.

Pittsburgh Experiences
Darkest Day in History
. Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 18. Pitts
burgh to-day experienced what
weather observers declared was the
darkest day in its history. At 9 o'clock
the streets, even in suburbs, were
black as the ordinary midnight with
electric lamps on in full force, and
automobiles and street cars lighted to
the full extent of their power. All
traffic was seriously impeded, particu
larly on the railroads where trains
were being operated as though during
the hours of night. Thousands of per
sons wre late in reaching their
places of employment, and freight
traffic was seriously impeded.
The local office of the weather
bureau said the darkness was caused
by a falling temperature which per
mitted the formation of fog. The fog
mingling with smoke from mills and
factories was held over the city, there
being absolutely no wind in the
•treets and only a gentle breeze at the
top of the highest buildings and out
on the hills.
WESTMINSTER SINKS
London, Dec. 18.—Lloyd's reports

of that name, built in 1905 and owned
in London. There is also a British
steamship Westminster of 25 2 tons,
owned in Grimsby.

they secured a footing.
The French took 11,387 prisoners in

organization which has gotten out of
the old "goat trail" and is doing a
work that marks it among the most

Mr. Hockenbury made it clear that
whatever he said about the Y. M. C. A.

criticism, becausp he loves Harris

to the Pennsylvania Railroad Y. M.

The proceedings wore started by At- j
