Assertion Made That Redaction From $8 to $7 a Day-is Necessary. Instructions to its entire working force that the company cannot continue to pay more each day than Is paid by other companies were Issued today by the Great Western Power Company. The announcement follow a vote taken by the men at which It was decided that a strike would be ordered if the reduction from 18 a day to 17 wa pot Into effect. A statement issued by the com pany today readB: We art instructing our entire organisation that we cannot longer continue to pay $1 per day more than Is paid by the other companies to electrical workers." This extra, II per day was granted ten months ago, owing to abnormal Jiving conditions at that time existing and has amounted to an average per man of 250 more than other workers for other companion have received, practically as a bontfs on this company's system. We do- not feci that we are further justified in continuing this.

Under present' conditions we feel that $7 per day is a reasonable and lust wage tor this work. Should the electrical weaker leave our employ for this eaose we feel they would place themselves Id an anomalous and lndefennlhie position. r- They have -voted -not to strike in other concerns paying $6 wage and should not vote to strike ta the Great Western because we cannot continue to pay more than other companies in this State. We feel that daring the period of excessive high living costs we have treated our workers with extreme consideration and will greatly regret having any of them leave our service. We are instructing an our executives, however, to promptly notify tis should any of our men leave their posts tomorrow night and we Aill Immediately fill their places.

This. Is our position as public utility. 'y are servants of the public and we must continue giving service to the public. We feel also that such discrimination against us would bo so obvious as not to be acceptable when the facts are known to any of our workers. We understand that the result of the votes has been reported to the national offices of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, who must approve before a strike is authorized.

Until a complete eopy of the, report charring the State Highway Commission with policies which have resulted in the failure of 30 per cent of the pared roads of the state is Died wtth the coram tssi oners, and enongli time has elapsed for a study of the same, there will no replies mad, aoeordiag to a statement given out hi Sacramento today by carieton, acung aee-retary of the commission. The accusations are made by the California State Automobile Association and by the Automobile Club of Southern California after a sti-months' survey oonductd by engineers. "I do not know that Qe Iflghwny Commission will make any ceply," said Carieton. "The annual report of the commission, issued some time ago, tells pf the policies followed and results accomplished. We have known ail tho time of the Investigation that was being made by tho automobile men and have always offered to assist On many occasions the Investigators came hfre for Information which wo gladly turned over to them." The Highway Commission will have a heaiinf In Ban Francisco tomorrow, after which.

It la Intimated, soma atatameut may be forthcoming. CiL.tTSS' CSXAHGB8 Failure to experiment with available material and to suit the constructive material oned in highways to the soil and conditions of the various part of the Stats are the main complaints cited by the California State Automobile Association and the Automobile Club of Southern California against the Stats Highway Commission. That JO per cent of the concrete highways in California are in poor condition as a result of the commission's policies and that failures of the paved roads have been so frequent that an Investigation was made necessary are other points brought out id a report that includes the results of investigation carried on for the past alx months. The automobile have employed engineers to make a study of the highway situation, and with their accusations they have offered remedies and suggestions. Among these Is a suggestion to adapt road-building specifications to local conditions, wider and heavier payments, and stringent police regulations regarding overloading Of vehicles and excessive speed.

HAM-' l. GOOD -SHAPK In addition to tho SO percent Ot the highway alleged by the automobile men to b'e in poor condition, 19.9 per cent, the report says, is In fair condition, leaving but a little over half In good shape. Th Inspection shows a higher percentage faJl-ufe tn-lhe south than in the north. The automobile clubs began their Investigations last July, Inviting Governor Btephons to appoint a State representative to act with them. The Governor declined because he had already ordered a similar Inquiry.

The clubs spent over (30,000 on the work. According to tho report, tho commission used the same type of con struction in all parts of the Stale without any attention bolng paid to traffic conditions, sub-soil or drain age. It Is also alleged tnai me corn- mlsBion has not fully co-operaiea with the county officials. In varioun parts of the State. The automobile club engineers says: Just criticism of tho blate com- nxlssion arises from the constantly recurring delays in paywient of accounts of all kinds.

KILLS 1IKIT) I I Bills for supplies and general ex- pene are frequently held cither In the office- of the highway commls- slori or of th board of control or months, and ft is difficult' lo flna ny lotflcal reason for this procedure. Contractors' progress payment and final estimates have suffered in the same way. "The commission's attitude has been the cause of severe criticism from contractors of the soundest reputation. Highway contractors In the past have found little profit in hlsrhwuy work. The 1IM of contrnct-ing who have become bankrupt Is astonishing.

Numerous In-sliinces'of rigid and drastic rulings Involving Considerable Ionises to the contractor have heen cited. Such policies can' have only tmo result- un Increase in the future bids."

The same question will be considered by the Merchants' Exchange tomorrow night. Several of the olvlo groups In eluding the Klwanis Club have serl ouAly considered remedy against the constant solicitation of funds for charitable purposes, Leebron said In part today: "Out of the 80s cities that had war cheats and ths TOO or mors that have Jewish ot Cathello financial federations and the fifty or mors cities that started peace time community chests, there have been five or six failures avoidable failures. Kxperts who have studied those fail ures agreed that, apart rrom mismanagement and the failure to profit by the experience of otner cities in the matter of organization and tech nique, the failures in each esse were due either to the impositions upon the social agencies by the business men of the community of a reiteration before those agencies wanted one or had aereed upon what they wanted, or they were due to the domination of the policies and work of the community chest by people who had little sympathy with and less knowledtft the varied social services that comprise a city welfare worn.

"New Orleans.
