Normal employment of the lumber industry is placed at around three- quarters of a million men. with the present figures substantially below that. Worked 60 Hours. Unofficially, it was rot expected that the code as now drawn would immedi- ately result in sizeable re-employment of lumbermen now idle. The lumbermen explained to John- son that in cases where they called for the 48-hour work week, the past normal working time was 60 hours or more Where the code set the hours at 40, a drop was made from the normal 48 to 54 The minimum wage of 22'. cents an hour they said_represented an increase from a prevailing 11 6-10 cents per hour. while where the minimum was set at 40 to 42!, cents the previous mini- mum wage had been 25 c2nts More Optimistic. With the presentiticn ci the lumber code, the recovery edministration ap- peared more optimistic of progress, | officials indicating strong assurance that the code for the steel industry would be submitted in the near future in a form meeting administration re- quirements 3 Should this and other major indus- tries bring in their agreements quickly, it appeared likely that the administra- tion would not resort to any drastic measures such as cailing on all indus- tries to submit codes by a set date. It was learned on good authority today that if the latter plan were de- cided upon. the three Advisory Commit- tees representing irdustcy. labor and the consumer were in agreement that the administration should promulgate a genersl wage minimum and hour maximum for all industry and business: Fix Minimum Wage. = The three commiitees which met all day yesterday and through a large part of the night were disclosed to have agreed that all wage workers should in | such a case be given a minimum of 40 cents an hour for a 35-hour week. All “white collar” workers in indus- try and business would be put on 2 maximum 40-hour-week basis with $15 minimum wage These general levels would apply until such a time as a specific industry pre- sented and had accepted a code of its own. modifying the blanket terms. The Advisory Committees, however, did not advocate that such action be tfaken unless the situation required stringent measures, and indications to- day were that the -emergency adminis- tration did not believe this was the ase at present. O he surface optimistic tone of offi- cials is maintained; industries are daily promising co-operation and several ac- tually are moving to enter agreements for self-regulation with increased em- ployment and wages; nevertheless, there is grave concern. The cotton tex! of Longview, Wash- tile agreement. gOing into effect Monday. will boost minimum wages above the present average and limit hours of work and production. Program Is Slow. President Roosevelt had hoped to have the code program well started—for major industries within 60 days of June 16 “when it became law. That prospect o ¢ is that industry has A critical aspec! stepped up production tremendously and is manufacturing-goods which experts are certain cannot e sold until pur- chasing power has been lifted. Yet by delaying wage-Taising codes, industry has done very little to increase purchas- ing power of the masses of laborers mechanics, clerks. This opens a posst bility of new industrial surpluses to swamp the markets before buyers can flord to buy. A Officials fear the benefits of & few codes in effect, and even of the accom- panying $3,000,000,000 public works pro- gram, now getting started, might easily be engulfed in the resulting reaction. To avert this, Administrator John- son is virtually convinced he will have o issue a request that major codes be submitted within a definite time— two weeks or whatever period he may decide is reasonable. Only if codes from industries such as steel. oil. au- tomobiles and cthers of comparable size pile in right away is this likely to be averted. Once the call is issued, Johnson will arbitrarily set a date for hearing on any industry which has failed to comply. Roosevelt Shows Concern. President Roosevelt also has been showing concern over the slow progress in the wage-raising line, while cheap- Jabor production apparently is piling upi goods speculatively against future de- mand when prices are expected to be| higher. 3 The administrator, however, said he believed the steel code which earlier he had asserted had been sent back for revision three times, was very nearly ready, and that the oil agreement also might be in soon. Lumbermen ex] ct to submit a code this week and if others also develop the recovery unit might find itself suddenly swamped with work. Because of this Johnson is holding back on the set-date plan. Attorney General Cummings. said yes- terday he did not believe this was the right time to institute any proceedings to force the recovery program into operation. He said he shared the con-: fidence of President Roosevelt that in- | dustry was voluntarily working to estab- lish its industrial codes. Cummings emphasized again that there was no suspension of the anti- trust laws and would be no relaxation in them except under the wage-raising work-dividing codes. | | Minute Mystery Solation to KELLZY DROPS IN.

Unanimity Is Sought. A high authority said “the agreement reached by the Drafting Committee of the Monetary Commission leaves it up to each of two subcommittees and their subcommittees to determine just what subjects cannot be discussed with a view to reaching unanimity—it being agreed that unanimity is necessary for accord in such a conference as this.” While the Monetary Drafting Com- mittee was meeting Secref of State Cordell Hull was busy conversing with various confc :ce leaders. Later Mr. Hull, chief of the American delegation. said that “we are making real progress today.” He expressed the opinion that the atmosphere —was changed completely since last week, when gold-bloc representatives de- manded adjc'rnment on the grounds that progress without currency stabili- zation was impossible. Soviet Russla in a proposal submitted to the Monetary Commission reminded the parley that one of its main objects buy goods rather than tariffs to shut out goods. The Russian proposal stated that there was a possibility of increasing sales in Russla under certain condi- tion. It also asked for consideration of the Soviet’s suggested pact for eco- currency through shifts in the gold con- | tent of the dcllar. His advice on this | subject, it was reported, has been influ- ential in some of the past monetary and currency moves of the administra- tion. .

They may be called by the Treasury up to October for payment in April, the date of interest payment. It was said that the problem of the new advisers is not only to work out a plan for conversation of the short term debt, but also to consider means of exchanging or . retiring the fourth liberty maturiti Shy at Publicity Spotlight. ‘The President, perhaps. could not have selected two men from the field of letters who are better qualified for | the work, nor could he have picked two college professors quite as shy of the spotlight of publicity, it was pointed out in official circles.

Busincss leaders all over the coun- try have indicated that better business bureaus will be asked to police the codes after they have been accepted by the national recovery tion, acccrding to Rothschild. The bu- reaus also are prepared to co-operate with the Federal Trade Commission in | enforcement of business and industrial | codes. Better Business Bureaus already have drawn up and put into effect in many of the large cities of the United States a fair practice code for advertising.

Representative Britten, Republican, of Illinois, in a statement yesterday said European statecraft had “degen- erated to the level of the pawn shop,” and that President Roosevelt should recall American delegates to the Economic Conference, and “forever stay out of European entanglenents.” Britten predicted the London parley would “go up in thin smoke.” DRAFT CONSTITUTION Nazi Church Leaders Draw Up Doc- ument for Protestant Groups.

A bitter fight was believed to lie be- fore the conference, before it adjourns, in an attempt to obtain prolongation of a tariff truce. High conference sources said one of the motives of the battle waged last week to bring about immediate ad- journment was to end a tariff truce, to which 40-some nations now adhere, in order to make possible new barriers against goods from countries with de- preciated currencies. ‘The American delegates consider the While on your Although every day of with thrills and pleasures . . ington.

New Tariffs Voted. The French Chamber of Deputies late last week, for instance, voted new high tariffs which, it is understood are permitted under a truce reserv tion which allows action against the depreciation of currency. It was understood, however, that the armistice on tariff changes, made ef- fective with the opening of the confer- ence, is galling to certain French political groups. One high Scandinavian source said pressure on his government to increase tariffs had been tiemendous. Othcr countries, it was learned, are ! in a similar position. and the gold bloc, particularly, may suffer because of de- | preciation of money in other nations | if they cannot raise barriers. | Their position is that if the confer- ence is not ended by July 31 any na tion may withdraw from the truce by giving. a month’s notice. | In view of this the Americars are expected to obtain emphasis for the fact that the conference, if it closes at all, will only be in recess for the | period and not in actual adjournment. | ————————— (Greater Shaving Comfor | Here's good news for men who dr ! daily shave. i ing Cream instantly produces a rich, creamy lather that makes stubborn whiskers as “meek as a lamb.” Enables you to get a smooth, comfortable shave without effort.

Following the 11, 1933, recommendation of | Secretary of the Interior Ickes, who also is administrator of the public works program, there will be no State admin- istrators appointed, according to Sen- ator David I. Walsh of Massachusetts. Senator Walsh said today he had been informed that instead of the original plan “it is now proposed that a board of three prominent citizens be chosen who wil' meet from time to time and be paid a sniall per diem figure.” “This board,” szid Senator Walsh, “will set up the organizations. It is poseible reglonal enginecrs will be se- lected for different parts of the country, and they will supervise the engincering and cost features of the public projects t:mt are to receive Federal contribu- tions.” Had Considered Appointees. Senator Walsh came to Washington vesterday 1o take up with the public works administration organization in Massachusetts. He had had under con- sideration in Massachusetts various men for the office of State administrator and also as assistant State administrator. He learned on his arrival here, however, he said, that there are to be no State & - ministrators. ‘The Massachusetts Senator recom- mended to the Public Works Adminis- tration that loans made by the Federal Government for public works construc- tion should bear a lower rate of interest than 4 per cent. He expressed the opinion that unless rates for Federal loans are made low enough to be prac- tical in New England they will not get much relief from this plan. He said the rate should not be more than 3. per cent, and possibly as lowsas 3 per cent. “This is not a banking proposition,” said Senator Walsh, “but a construction program to help unemployment.” Lauds Textile Code. Senator Walsh said adoption of the cotton textile code of fair competition, under the recovery act, had been a great step forward, and would-be of much as- sistance to industry in New England. “Other industries should fall in lize and submit and adopt codes without delay,” said Senator Walsh. “If the other industries do not submit codes, President Roosevelt would be entirely Jjustified if he ordered public hearings for the industries and brought about the adoption of codes in that way.” Serator Walsh said business and em- ployment in Massachusetts and in other New England States were on the up- grade.
