RECOVERY FINANCE USING SURPLUSES Organized Labor Facing as Big Problem as Industry in Recovery Set-Up. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Tales of how business and industry are meeting the supreme test of the blanket code—how go finance it—are coming in here in thle same undramatic and unspectocular fashion that char- rcterized employer co-operation during the war. One company called a directors’ meet- ing. calculated the cost of commplying Works Program To Safeguard Outlines Policy for Spand- ing Billions to Give Jobs. The United States Secretary of the Interior tells in this article how the Government is proceeding with its public works program, and gives reassurance that the disposition of the $3,300,000,000 authorized is in no danger of developing into a “spending orgy.” BY HAROLD L.

C#se After Case Reported. Case after case is being reported in ‘which the inc ywhere from $50,000 to $500,000 Much of y was but was cut dow whe process started two years ago. Tittle of the increased purchasing power is being created in the white-collar groups. hus banks and business offic which have not had much of any sy tem about th lationship of offic hours to rate: for their help, ranging all the way from Chflr!umew office boys and stenographers, have cofn- plied with the requirements in a way that is likely to mean a permanent bet- terment of the condition of those em- ployes. And the interesting thing is that where this equalization has oc- curred there is an ungrudging attitude toward those who in the past should have received better treatment but who have been more or less neglected. For few companies have well developed per- sonnel system: It is quite possible that union leaders will seek to take advantage of the sit- uation to organize the unorganized and assume credit for the improvement the pay envelope, but, while it is human nature to join things that lead to better pay, it is often difficult for the union: to hold members on a dues-paying basis when the advantages have been at- tained. . Thus when the codes are in opera- run a yea: tion in individual businesses and indus- | tries, the unions will be just as much under' the jurisdiction of the Govern- ment as the employers. Both will ha signed contracts, the violation of which becomes a matter of grave complica- tions. If, as is currently believed here, the codes are the beginning of & new sort of constitutional government industry, then the value of continued dues-paying will be something the union organizer may have a hard time im- pressing on the one-time members. Statistics show that during war time the labor unions increased their mem- bership to the highest point in their tory. but in the decade following the membership rolls declined. pression has seen the desertion by tens of thousands who could not keep up i their dues. Unquestionably, however, the trade unions are going to acquire thousands of new members as a result of the recognition that has been given the idea of collective bargaining and group rep- resentation. Employe Councils Active Again. A quiet but impressive competition is going on between the company union or employe representation on company councils and the general labor union affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. In many instances these em- ploye councils, which were once or- ganized and then remained dormant for many years, are being revived and im- provements made so as to insure greater satisfaction to the employes and prevent their turning to outside unions. As the outside organizers come into the businesses which have hitherto known no unionization, the employers are getting busy with employe group plans. legitimate for the workers to join any organizations “of their own choosing,” and there must be no coercion from employer or outside unioas or union members upon their fellow workmen. ‘This is a difficult job to police, and the upshot will be that the employes will accept the plan that seems to afford them most assurance of continued gocd y. We shall. see quite a number of sed employe representation or com- pany union plans in the next few months, with attractive features of un- employment insurance OF _Teserves dangled as a bait to those who agree to cast their lot with the managements they have loyally served for years.

The national public works program has the twofold objective of creating | employment and useful public works at {the same time. To this end we are | proceeding as rapidly as is humanly | possible, while maintaining at all times | the necessary safeguards. \ Nearly Billion Issued. | In the six weeks since the public| works act went on the statute books | nearly a billion dollars of the $3,300, 000.000 authorized for public works have been allocated. The President has appointed 10 regional advisers and 48 | State Advisory Boards, and the organi- zation in Washington is being perfected day by day. Obviously, we cannot say to the coun- | try: “Here is a fund, $3,300,000,000 {come and get it” There must be & plan. Each and every application for | funds must be carefully examined and checked.

In- | cluded in these allottments are $400,- $50.000,000 for roads in national parks, Indian reservations, etc., and $238,00 000 for naval construction. Twenty-five million dellars also was set aside in the law for subsistence homesteads. The road program has advanced to the point where actual construction op- erations soon will be under way in vir- tually all the States. Contracts already have been awarded by the Navy Depart- | ment for new ships. Both the road and | shipbuilding programs will give imme- diate employment to large numbers of unemployed workers. The purely Federal projects are the first upon which work is beginning be- cause they were passed upon here in Washington by the Federal agencies involved and the special board of public works appointed by the Presldent to advise with the administrator in the de- termination of policies and ‘he selection ! of specific projects. The President him- self, « despite his many and arduous duties, has personally scrutinized and sanctioned all projects in the list thus far approved. State Boards Must Act. which the Federal Government will make grants and loans—must be first considered by the State advisory boards under the Public Works Administra- tion’s decentralized organization. will give an opporiunity to men fanml. liar with the local financial and unem- ployment problems of the community to pass first on applications for Federal aid. Heavy responsibilities rest upon these State advisory boards. Undoubtedly strong pressure will be brought to bear in support of doubtful projects. It will be as much a duty of these boards to say “no” as it will be to say A though appointed as representatives of States the members of these boards really are agents of the Federal Gov- ernment. Applications for grants and loans will be considered by the advisory boards from a standpoint of policies laid down by the Public Works Admin- istration. The project must be socially | desirable. It must be feasible from an engineering and technical standpeint. There must be an acceptable showing of financial responsibility. Local budgets must be carefully scrutinized. The United States expects these loans to be repaid. Prefer Integrated Work. Priority will be given to projects which can be entered upon at once and completed with relative speed. Proj- ects which are located in or near a| center of unemployment should be pre- ferred so far as practicable sto those located in areas where the problem of unemployment is less acute, Projects which are integrated with others into a significant plan will be preferred to projects which are isolated and unre- lated. There will be no orgy of spending this fund simply for the sake of spend- ing it. Political pressure will be re- sisted. Projects without merit will be discarded. The hard-earned cash of the American people will not be dis- sipated. The American people are in a fight not unlike war. We have drawn gen- erously upon the Nation's resources to wage the battle. We have the in- spired leadership of the President and the determination of our citizens to pull through. The end is in sight. Let’s drive onward together.

NEW YORK, August 5 (#).—A por- trait of Christ, now on exhibition at the Chicago World’s Fair, is bringing to the painter, Col. Henry 8. Todd, more fan mail than many a film actor re- ceives. Thousands of letters have been re- celved. Some praise the painting. Others attack it as unconventional. Col. Todd, a native of St. Louis, who earned his title in the inte]ligence service in the World War, said his fig- ure of Christ is a composite type. “A man of the land, a country preacher, the man in the street, sone- thing of everybody,” he said. Roosevelt Holds Moratorium Story To Get Big “Play” President’ Roosevelt's keen sense of news values punctuated the midnight conference at Hyde Park Friday night. Gen. John- son, as he was leaving Washing- ton by airplane, mentioned to newspaper men in “strict confi- dence” the strtke moratorium plan, saying the announcement would have to come from the President.” Mr. Roosevelt decided it was “too good & story” to be given out after midnight, since it would only “make” late editions of mornings newsapers at best, and even then would have to share the first with news of the truce in the Pennsylvania coal strike. e story was held up until 1000,000 for certain classes of roads, | ‘The non-Federal projects—those on‘ HARRISBURG, Pa, August 5—Ef- forts toward “peace” were pressed today in some of Pennsylvania’s strike-troubled | industrial centers, but in other places the situation remained tense. | While the soft coal fields of Western | Pennsylvania were jubilant over the | truce in their strike effected by Presi- | dent Roosevelt, another point in the same section—Pittsburgh—saw atfempts begun to organize steel workers.

Reading, where 10,000 hosiery workers have been on strike for weeks, was hope- | ful after President Roosevelt’s appeal |for peace between management and | workers, but the optimism was accom- | panied by a wave of fresh disorders. A shoe workers’ convention official was badly beaten and police used tear gas and blank cartridges in quelling a disturbance near a laundry that sent one person to a hospital and one to jail. | The outbreak occurred at the plant of the Reading Laundries, Inc The proposed national strike mora- torium brought from Emil Rieve, presi- dent of the American Federation of Full-Fathioned Hosiery Workers, the comment that the union has already committed itself to acceptance of arbi- This | tration, while Hugo Hemmerich, spokes- |man for the manufacturers, announced a meeting of operators for Monday morning and said the President will find “100 per cent co-operation” of the manufacturers. | Negotiations toward settlement of a | neckwear workers' strike in Philadel- | phia went forward while other strikers | and their fricnds paraded about a cigar 1plant_ in an effort to get workers there ‘m join their union. The hosiery situa- tion in that city was peaceful, with all | factories closed because of the Saturday holiday. A glass factory at Charlerof closed by a strike of 100 employes remains idle. The strike of leather goods workers in Allentown remained at a standstill. MINERS READY FOR WORK. | Between 50,000 and 60,000 Await Ratifi- cation by Unions. BROWNSVILLE, Pa., August 5 (P). —Quietly happy over the gd“eclnramon of a truce in the violent bituminous coal strike, 150 Western Pennsylvania mining communities prepared tonight for the resumption of work. Union leaders and business people were especially jubilant as plans went forward for reopening of the mines Mond;{.c - -to-the-mines movement of 50,000 to 60.000 workers, on strike for almost a fortnight in a battle for oper- ator recognition of the United Mine ‘Workers of America, will mean the re- sumption of a $750,000 weekly pay roll, vital purchasing power-in the soft coal regions. The return to the pits awaits only formal ratification of the truce by local unions, and district chieftains were bringing to bear all the pressure of their office to assure acceptance of the armi- stice called by. President Roosevelt. There were no formal demonstrations or parades to celebrate the signing of the agreement, although sporadic cheers burst forth as newspaper extras an- nounced developments toward settle- me!;xt o!r tlhe ’wkalkL:;L eaceful picket] on a greatly re- stricted scale continued at ns;;st uyr the Fayette County mines, center of the strike violence and scene of the fatal shooting of one striker and the wound- ing of more than a score others. Groups gathered here and there throughout the coal fields to discuss the truce, while in several sections where the full import of the agreement had not been realized, additional miners went on strike. The greatest demonstration of the day had nothing to do with the settle- ment of the walkout—it was a solemn tribute to the only man to meet death in the strike—Louis Podorsky, 28, felled ?y bullets in Tuesday’s flare-up of vio- ence.

CHEATING EAGLE STIRS UNCLE SAM Efforts Afoot to Have Offend- ers Publicly Flayed as Early Curb. — (Continued Prom Pirst Page) city alone at least 37 stores displaying the Blue Eagle insignia had employed no neéw help, but were keeping their store doors open for shorter hours to attempt to come within the provisions of the code. No information was available at ad- ministration headquarters as to whether the store owners were employing such a practice and still remaining within the 52-hour minimum, or whether they were actually violating the code while still displaying the Blue Eagle. Hammond, standing behind a desk piled inches deep with letters, reports and statements, asserted that investi- | gations would be pushed at the earliest i | | moment. “It will take us a week or two to get straightened out here,” he said, “but once we do, we intend to see that the people displaying the Blue Eagle are living up to the spirit of their code. “We don’t intend to have the public fooled on these things. If the display- ers of the insignia are cheating on it, the flag will come down.” Elaborate provisions against unfair competition are made in the tentative code for the retail establishments. These trade practice provisions were made public yesterday, but do not become ef- fective until the code is approved. Wage and hour stipulations for the retail dry goods, department, mail order, specialty shop, men's clothing furnish- ings, furniture, hardware and shoe store trades represented by the various na- tional associations nave been approved temporarily by Gen. Johnson. Trade Practice Provisions. The trade practice provisions of the code included: “Unfair competition “On and after the this code— effective date of “An industrial satesman” was the appelation given Hugh S.

Johnson, the industrial ad- ministrator, today brought back to ‘Washington the electrical manufactur- ing industry code approved yesterday by President Roosevels at Hyde Park. Johnson said the new code meant that more persons than ever before would be employed in this industry. “The provisions of the code will result in a substantial increase in wages,” he | sald. “And when improvement of busi- ness requires the industry to operate at 60 per cent of the 1929 volume, there | will be employed in the industry a greater number of persons than to be found at any peak operation.” Some 125,000 persons now employed will be affected by the code, which does not include radio manufacturers. Min- imum wages were fixed at 40 cents an hour, except where the July 15, 1929, wage was lower. In no case is any per- son to receive less than 32 cents an our. In general the work week in process- ing departments was fixed at £6 hours, while for all others, except administra- tive, traveling and commission sales personnel, it is to be 40 hours.
