(By The Associated Press)
Thousands of employees went to
work today with lighter step and a
brighter outlook as a number of
manufacturers, encouraged by busi-
ness upturns, announced wage in-
creases ranging from 5 to 20 per
cent.
The raises were in keeping with
President Roosevelt's appeal to em-
ployers to keep wages up and fol-
lowed the trend established by other
employers earlier this week.
In Pennsylvania 10 per cent pay
boosts were announced by the Su-
preme Shirt Co. of Philadelphia and
the flour and feed brokerage firm of
George E. Rogers & Co., of Pitts-
burgh, while the Berkowitz Shirt Co.
of 'Uniontown added 5 per cent to
its weekly wages envelopes.
In Akron, O., the Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Co. announced that addi-
tional working hours would result in
an increase of 12/2 per cent.
The largest single wage boost-20
per cent-was announced by the
Planters Nut & Chocolate Co., of
Suffolk, Va.
Steel Mills Busy

steel mills of that district had re-
called from 10,000 to 20,000 men to
work and provided employment for
5,000 more. Similar announcements
were made by other leaders in vari-
ous industries in different sections
of the country.
At Cleveland also, 10 member com-
,panies of the Independent Ice Cream
Manufacturers' A s s o i a t i o n an-
nounced a 10 per cent wage increase

Whose aggregate weekly pay is $7,500.
A 5 per cent wage increase was
instituted by the Ford dealers both
of Cleveland and Summit County
(Akron), for their 475 employes.
In order to reduce working hours
to :a straight 8-hour day, a group of
independent Cleveland bakers an-
neounced a 1-cent-a-loaf increase in
the price of bread. They said bakers
would suffer no loss in weekly pay
but that additional help would be
hired for the rush periods on week-
enms wh1wemIep1oy fdtmerly worked

the University of Illinois will hold a
mass meeting'Tuesday night to pro-
test the $10 diploma fee which the
graduating seniors are. required to'
pay, according to plans made by aI
group of students at Theta Kappa

regular amount which has been
charged for several years, is too high
and more than covers the cost of
commencement.
