ALASKA EMPIRE MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS =] PRICE TEN CENTS WAR THREAT MADE RUSSIA BY JAPAN NEW EXISTING CODES T0 BE REOPENED 1S BELIEF NOW President Green Looks for Administration to Make Revisions TO INCREASE WAGES AND SHORTEN HOURS Statements me Before A. F. of L. Convention by High Authorities WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. — An Administration agreement soon to the reopening of existing NRA codes so wages may be increased and hours shortened, is looked for by President William Green of the American Federation of Labor. President Green bases his belief on the statements made before the Federation's annual convention here by two persons high in the Administration councils, Senator ‘Wagner, Chairman of the Labor Advisory Board and Secretary of Labor Perkins who said: “We can- not stop with the present mini- mum wages and maximum hours.” Wagner's Statement Senator Wagner said some mini- mum scales should be higher, per- haps wages in higher should be fixed too, and also a 40-hour week does not seem 10 absorb the unemployed. These statements, Green said, certainly are susceptible of being interpreted to mean the Adminis- tration is ready to revise codes. The convention this week will insist upon a general revision of cod>s to increase the purchasing power and further a six-hour day and five week plan, the Presi- dent said. — e FRENCH BUDGET ANNOUNCEDFOR YEAR OF 1934 Only Slight Reduction from Present Year—Some Items Made Public PARIS, Oct. 10. — The French Government's budget, in dollars, for 1934, amounts to approximately three billion dollars, a reduction of $2,600,000 from the 1933 budget.
