The number of warehousemen used at first (five for each ware- 

 house) proved excessive and occasioned complaint from the members. 

 The positions of warehouse manager and grader were later consoli- 

 dated. By the closing of receiving points, and the consolidation of 

 positions, the number of regular warehouse department employees 

 was decreased from 594 in 1922-23 to 235 in 1925-26. (Table 22".) 



In the membership study the two criticisms of the association most 

 frequently given by the members were " too high salaries " and 

 " extravagance.' 5 In regard to the salaries paid by the association, 

 484 criticized them, and 47 more criticized them with qualifications, 

 such as ' ; those of the higher officials," " those of the warehousemen," 

 " of certain individuals," etc. ; 78 members made no criticism of the 

 salaries. (Table 23.)
