LABOR ASSAILS UNION CLAUSE Cotton Code Ready to Go in Effect. Others Join. Br the Associated Press. A surge of volunteer effort by industry, which brought steel within its sweep, yesterday edged fcloser to realization President Roosevelt's desire to increase the purchasing power of the masses without delay. Shortly after the steel industry had come forward with the draft of a plan to govern competition within that business, putting into immediate effect 15 per cent raises in the wages of tens of thousands of workers, Hugh S. Johnson, the recovery admini. trator, received from underwear manufacturers a conditional agreement to abide by the com-| petitive plan of cotton textile mills until a separate underwear agreement could be drawn up. The cotton textile code goes into effect tomorrow. The under- wear men, who operate a large share of the country's Kknitting mills, informed Johnson that sub- ject to ratification by the various operators, the ban on child labor, the 40-hour week and 80-hour machine week, and the $12 and $13 minimum wage levels of cot- ton would be assumed by them pending action on their own ' agreement. ‘Wool Men Favorable. Already rayon and silk manufacturers had asked authority to take such action, .and a formal order is due tonight or ‘tomorrow approving this. Wool men, who filed & 40-hour code yesterday with bottom wage levels of $13 in the South and $14 in the North, were expected to come in on the volunteer move. The cement industry also has taken voluntary steps to boost wages and spread employment by cutting working hours. Meanwhile Johnson sent & telegram y%0 Gov. Ely of Massachusetts urging {suspension of his State’s “6 o'clock clos- ing law.” That act forbids the employ- ‘ment of women after 6 so far as cotton ll’nms are concerned. Under the textile code, mills will have to run two shifts, Lworking employes 40 hours a week. Johnson's message made no mention of women workers but said that if Massachusetts manufacturers were to {compete evenly with those of other States, the law must be suspended and ihat the recovery law's purpose of re- ducing unemployment would be aided greatly if penalties and restrictions of Jabor were removed from industries op- erating under the Federal codes. The steel code was brought to him early in the day by Robert P. Lamont, president of the Iron and Steel Insti- tute and one-time Secretary of Com- .merce. It was signed, Lamont said, by scompanies representing 90 per cent of the country’s output, and more in- dorsements were to come. Wage Terms in Effect. Hardly had the code been filed than #rom steel town after steel town flashed the word that wages were raised 15 per cent immediately. Some others an- mounced that minimum levels” also would be attained beginning today. *Thus, the wage terms of the code were .put_into effect without awaiting the ‘deliberate process of Government con- sideration. Johnson gave high praise to the &teel men for bringing in their code of fair competition, although he pointed wout that he had given no preliminary sanction to any of its terms. In a statement he said: “The American Iron and Steel In- jstitute has filed today the code of fair ‘competition for this industry, which is jstated to represent the wishes of sub- tantially the entire industry. “The National Recovery Administra- tion. in conformity with its established policy, has given no preliminary sanc- tion to any part of this code. is appropriate to express my appre- ciation of the intensive and continu- ous work of the executives of the in- du in the preparation of this code. s 1 well know, they have been working practically night and day ever since the passage of the national in- dustrial recovery act to bring the en- terprises within this industry into agreement upon the presentation of this code. Leaders' Efforts Hailed. “Recognizing the difficulties involved in dealing with the problems of this major industry, I want to say that not | even in war time have I seen a more wholchearted, patient and persistent ef- fort on the part of the leaders of an industry to sclve their internal prob- Jems and to bring about a solution Which in their judgmen: would meet the needs of the present emergency. Notice of a hearing upon this code will be issued next week providing ample opportunity for all interested parties to be represented and heard. In this connection let me point out that with the codes already filed and those certain to be filed within the next few days codes covering the major in- dustries of the country will be under way in public hearings before the end of the month.” The code, however, was quickly criti- cized by Labor. William Green, presi- gent of the American Federation of Labor, said its wage levels were too low and the average of 40 working hours @ week was too high. Furthermore, he said he would oppose a provision by which steel men proposed to have the organization of their employes limited to work councils cr company unions. The steel code terms will be scrutin- #zed in public at a date to be set this fweek. The action topped a concerted move- gnnt by rayon and silk spinning and (Continued on Page 3, Column 5.)

Plans for spending $75,000,000 on roads in 10 States were approved by the public works administration yes- terday to carry out President Roose- velt's program of pouring the entire $3,300,000,000 construction fund into the channels of trade as soon as possible. At the same time, the administra- tion accelerated work on proposals for spending on Federal public works proj- ects several hundred thousand dollars in addition to what has been allocated already in an effort to have 1,000,000 men who now are idle at work by Oc- tober 1.

This brought to about $125,000,000 the total of expenditures from the $400,000,000 set aside for roads which have received approval. So far the public works adminis- tration has concentrated mainly on getting the Federal buildings and road construction programs under way, but early this week President Roosevelt 15 expected to announce the names of regional administrators who will handle advances to States and local govern- |mental units through which the big :ulk of the construction work will pe lone. The Chlef Executive estimated Fri- day these advances for non-Federal projects would amount altogether to about $1,400,000,000, or almost half of the total fund. He said about $600,- 000,000 would be used for Federal con- struction and that the remainder of the fund, $1,300,000,000, already was ear- marked under the law. Road Projects Outlined.

These figures are ‘“‘conservatively es- timated,” said Dr. Roland P.

The hours of non- manufacturing industry, particularly in the wholesale and retail trade, are tra- ditionally longer. - “There is not much flux in the trades which constitute about three-fourths of the non-manufacturing group, with utilities and mining about equally divid- ed in the remaining one-fourth. “So if there has been a revival of business activity in May and June as there was in April, it would tend to boost the average hours in manufactur- ing and mining, but not so much in utilities and trade. Cites April Average. “By reason of the probable increase in hours, thed, I think the estimated number of new jobs for manufactur- ing—720,000—is conservative. By the same token, it is more nearly exact for the non-manufacturing group.” ‘The April weekly hour averages in the wholesale trade appeared to be about 46 as against an average of 44 hours a week in the retail trade and about 42 in utilities. The difference between a uniform 40- hour week and the present weekly averages, multiplied by the number of workers engaged in the non-manufac- turing flelds, gave the estimated num- ber of new jobs available. Similarly, the difference between the present speculative index of about 38-40 for manufacturing industries and the uniform 35-hour week, multiplied by the workers engaged in manufacturing, gave jobs available in that field.

GOULD LINCOLN. A recommendation to Congress by President Roosevelt for an amendment of the organic act of the District of Columbia to provide for a city manager would be the signal for a drive to per- mit the people here to elect a head of the District government. The President has told several callers that he has under consideration pro- posing a change in the form of District government, providing for a single exec- utive head instead of the present Com- mission of three. The demand for a measure of local self-government in the National Capital has grown appreciably in recent years. The opening up of the organic act for amendment in Congress will be fol- lowed, it is predicted, by a demand by many of the residents for the fran- chise. The President has been so in- formed. President Roosevelt has not indi- cated that he would approve such a plan. Indeed, it has peen generally supposed that if he proposes the sub- stitution of a city manager for the commission form of government, it will be with the proviso that the single executive head be appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. That is the manner in which the pres- ent Commissioners of the District are appointed. King Opposes Changes. chairman of the District Committee of the Upper House, yesterday turned thumbs down on the proposal that the people here should be allowed to elect the head of the municipal government.

Desiring to be buried beside her hus- band, but fearing this might be im- possible at the Cathedral, Mrs. Dewey directed in her will that the admiral’s body be removed from the crypt, where it had lain for several years, and placed in Arlington National Cemetery, where he first was buried.

This left the executors of her estate in & difficult position because of a codicil to her will which specifically di- rected that Admiral Dewey's body be removed to Arlington Cemetery and that she be buried beside him there. George Goodwin Dewey, son of Admiral Dewey, was consulted and he expressed himself as opposed to the removal of his father’s body. The attitude of the son, together with a statement that the paramount desire of Mrs. Dewey was to be buried beside her husband, were submifted to the court, and Justice James M.

Widow’s Views Conflict. When Mrs. Dewey ordered that her husband's body be removed from Ar- ling to the Cathedral, she said: “As Admiral Dewey was a devout communicant of the Episcopal Church for many years, and an active member of the Cathedral chapter, I have asked that his body rest in the crypt of Beth- lehem Chapel until a suitable memo- rial can be built in the Cathedral. As a result of this statement, her subsequent direction that the body be transferred back to Arlington Cemetery was received with surprise. It was said at the Cathedral, however, that the codicil to the will resulted from the mistaken bellef on the part of Mrs. Dewey that she could not be buried there. The entire matter was said to be the result of a “misunderstanding.” Although Mrs. Dewey has been bur- ied at the Cathedral nearly two years, the expensive mausoleum she had built in Arlington Cemetery to receive the body of her husband is still standing. Officials at the cemetery said they con- templated taking no action concerning it, because members of the family had agreed to remove it as soon &5 the Dewey estate is finally settied.
