THE EVENING STAR, WASuINGITON, SCHALL CALLS NRM New York’s N.R.A. Head Attempts to Solve Strik CALLS MEETING OF UNION LEADERS AND EMPJOYERS. "LIKE BLACK SHIRT Senator Says ‘Military Meth- od of Settling Economic Question Is Rotten.” Brig. Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, recovery administtator, is teaching the American people “that the military method of settling economic questions is essen- tially rotten,” Senator Schall of Minne- sota declared today. In a four-page typewritten statement headed “The Military Price Code “NIRA, " Senator Schall, a Repubiican, termed the Blue Eagle “an imitation blackshirt, with a trifiing difference in shade.” Declaring the N. R. A. constitutes “a suspension of the Sherman anti-trust law,” Senator Schall said: “If the American people are to reach & just and stable recovery, the first step is to be sure we are heading for the right goal—and not jumping from the frying pan into the fire.” Discussing the fate of “dictator,” and mentioning Machado of Cuba in this connection, Senator Schall said: “Cuba will now return to the rule of law and government by the supposed will of the people. Rule by the ‘iron fist,” under suspension of economic laws, is being discarded in the West Indies. Is this country going to take it up?” When Congress passed “the agricul- tural adjustment act, the employmen aid and the currency and banking laws,” he said, the foundation for recovery was laid. “There was no call.” he declared, “to suspend the anti-trust laws and insti- tute price-boosting codes for the indus- trials. There was certainly no call to place the industries of the country un- der a military regime, with a brigadier general and Blue Eagle banners to en- force price codes not authorized by law.” /BiG NAME’ SPEAKERS BECOME PLENTIFUL!

Ag8ig names” those persons Wwhom €onventions and other meetings sought ore or less fruitlessly as speakers a tle while ago are avzilabel at » mo- ment’s notice these days to help N. R A. along. Sometimes they go to speak “off the wecord”: other times their speeches are Carefully prepared for public consump- tion, but nearly always the speaker will be_some one of importance. Hugh S. Johnsen, N. R. A. adminis- trator, went away quietly a few weeks ago to address a group of trade cxecu- tives. Reporters were pledged to se- crecy, but the trade executives learned from no mincing phrases what was ex- pected of them. The other day, Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, director of the United States Mint, spoke to the National Dyers’ and Cleaners’ Association. She said: “Ev- ery time I go down the street I watch | iai the windows for that N. R. A. sign. it isn't there, I don't go in.” Throughout the Nation other “big names” are telling business men and the public how to co-operate This is only a smail part of the great N. R. A. publicity machine. But it all helps. Even the smallest trade group knows it is important when it can claim the attention of a “big siot.” K. OF C. WILL KEEP BAN ON LIQUOR IN CLUBS Reaffirms Stand on Temperance. Leader Says Prohibition Is Not Factor in Position. By the Associated Press CHICAGO, August 18 —Reaffirming their stand on temperance within the order, the Knights of Columbus in their national convention yesterday voted down a-motion to lift the ban prohibiting intoxicating liquer at their meetings or in their club houses Daniel H. Carmody, supreme knight, said “the Knights of Columbus have always stood for temperance. The question of prohibition does not affect its stand in any way.” Following a speech by Joseph Scott of Los Angeles, who once placed Herbert Hoover in nomination for the presi- dency, officials of the order were in- structed to co-operate with bona fide | organizations seeking to improve the | moral tone of moving pictures.

Upwards of 20,000 new jobs were seen today by the Public Works Admin- istration because of its approval of $65.000,000 more for expenditure on construction. It figured, for instance, that the spending of $44.200.000 on a tri- ! borough bridge project in New York— | $37,000,000 a loan. the rest a direct | grant—would give 18,000 men jobs for {a full year. As the administration approved the | aliocation of funds to this project, { which is the erection of a huge bridge | connecting the boroughs of Manhattan, | Queens and Bronx, it also set aside 1$11,527.489 for 29 public buildings in 22 'States and nearly $10,000,000 for | slum-erasing housing " projects. It picked just three of the latter for job estimates. The Queens Borough, New York. project, it said. should pro- vide 18-month jobs for 800 men: that | in Neptune Gardens, Boston, 1.000 jobs ! for a vear: that in Hutchinson, Kans., 135 six-month jobs. The Queens | Borough work got a loan of $3.210.000; Neptune Gardens, $3,500,000; Hutchin- son, $40,000. i Many More Indirectly. Many more jobs, the administration said, would be provided indirectly. For the cther housing projects it made no specific_estimate of employ- ment. For the 291 public buildirgs it said_simply: “Construction will begin as soon as | contracts can be awarded. Large num- i bers of men now uncmployed will be given work.” As it apprcved these the administra- tion also set minimum wages for the things to be built under its jurisdic- tion. These would guarantee | Southern zone—skilled labor, | hour; unskilled, 40 cents. Central zone—sSkilled, $1.10; unskilled, 45 _cents. Northern zone—Skilled, $1.20; skilled, 50 cents. These schedules, Secretary Ickes said, were drawn to “carry cut the mandate $1 an un- | sufficient to provide a standard of liv- !'ing in decency and comfort.” Biggest Expenditures Approved. These were the biggest expenditures by far approved up to this time for non- | Federal projects. All have received | favcrable action at the White House, either formally or informally Secretary Ickes, public works admin- | istrator, in announcing the Federal projects, which include 26 post office | buildings, a quarantine station, a border | station and an office building, said they { were needed and therefore prcperly in- cluded. The list included a $610,000 parcel post building in Richmond, Va. The housing allotments were subject | to satisfactory contracts being made for the projects and final approval by President Roosevelt. The President’s |approval was considered by public works officials to be a foregone con- clusion. Thirty-five such projects are now being considered by the Public Works Administration and early action on ad- | ditional housing enterprises is expected. | Those approved yesterday. in addi- | tion to those for which job estimates were made, were: Two million and twenty-five thousand ! dollars to the Spence Estate Housing Corporation for a model housing proj- ect in Brooklyn, totaling 2,150 rooms to rent for less than $11 a month. Eight hundred and forty-five thou- | sand dollars for a housing preject total- | ing 1,074 rooms in the Kensington dis- trict of Philadelphia, to be built by a corporation formed by officers and members of the American Federation of Full-Fashioned Hosiery Workers. In announcing establishment of the minimum rates, Ickes said he had “given heed to the mandate of Con- gress that wage rates shall be sufficient | to provide a standard of living in de- cency and comfort.” He remarked that contractors in bid- ding on public projects would know now in advance what their labor costs would be. “The increased purchasing power which will be afforded to construction workers should make it possible for them to purchase their just share of of American agriculture,” Ickes said. “It should equalize the standard of living between the various sections in the United States and should make it possible for workers in the rural agricultural areas to purchase the pro- ducts of our farmers in quantities which they have been unable to purchase prior to this time.” —_— PRISONERS ESCAPE Reported to Have Fled From East Prussian Concentration Camp.

SHOE ACREEMENT RPRED REACHD Provisions Held Satisfactory‘ | to All Sides Will Be Drafted | | Into Code. Approved by President. By the Associated Press ' The theater was preparing today to begin operating under a code fixing maximum hours and minimum wages for actors, chorus girls, musicians and other employes The code. Roosevelt approved by President vesterday, becomes effactive August 27.° It applies only to dramatic and musical plays, as separate codes of fair competition for motion Ppictures, vaudeville, burlesque, tent shows other performing groups remain be worked out. Wage Scale Varies. Actors with more than two years' experience will receive a minimum wage of $50 weekly when the top box-office price is $450 or more. The minimum scale ranges down to $40 where the box-office price is $3 and less. Actors with less than fwo years’ ex- perience will receive a minimum of $25, while members of the chorus will get no 1:ss than $30 A 40-hour week is fixed for all actors, with the stipulation that this limit shall not be binding during rehearsals. Minimum wages for musicians, mov- ing picture operators and those “em- ployes associated with organizations of or performing the duties of theatrical stage employes,” was established at $30. Where the prevailing wage scale on July 1, 1933, was at a higher rate, the old rates of pay and maximum hours will remain in force. Ushers Guaranteed Minimum. Ushers and ticket takers were guar- anteed a minimum of 30 cents an hour. Electrical workers, engineers, firemen and other skilled mechanics will get a | minimum of $30 weekly for 49 hours. By the Associated Press. An agreement reported to be satis- factory to all groups in the shoe in- dustry was taken up by the National | Boot and Shoe Manufacturers’ Associa- tion today to be drafted into a new code for the approval of the Natiomal Recovery Administration. The agreement, an associate of J. O. Ball, managing directcr of the national association said, provided for the rep- resentation on the controlling board for the industry of the felt slipper and stitch down method groups as well as the group of Southwestern manufact- urers who claimed they were unrepre- sented under the original plan. It was reached last night at a long conference lasting until early this mom- in Battled Throughout Day. Opposing groups battled over the ad- | ministration question throughout an all- | day conference called vesterday by N. | R."A. officials. Unable fo reach a deci- sion, they were ordered by Deputy Ad- ministrator C. C.

Committee of Seven to Draft By-Laws; Rate Change Made Secondary. C., FuiDAY, I Abandoning for a time their efforts to adjust taxi fares, representative taxi men of the District of Columbia last night took the first concrete steps toward the formation of a Taxicab Board of Trade for the National Capital. A com- mittee of six taxi men, including two drivers, was named to sit with Richmond B. Keech, people’s counsel, to draft a| constitution and by-laws for the new body. If and when the Taxicab Board of Trade becomes an actual fact, the picneer organizers agreed at their meet- ing in the District Building board room the question of rates, zones, and meters would be only a small phase of the taxi problems and questions which it would handle. The Board of Trade, it was asserted, would seek to improve all con- ditions in the taxi industry here. ‘The committee, as appointed by T. W. Fowler, former taxi driver who has instigated efforts of taximen to organize follows: A. W. Jacobson of the City Cab Corporaticn, Leon Brill of the Bell Cab Co., Jack Dalton of the Blue Light Cab Co., John H. Royer of the Premier Cab Co., E. D. Leflingwell, operator of a; | Graylon cab, representing the smaller czb operators, and C. H. Lettow, repre- | senting the independent cab operators. | This committee was instructed to invite the Diamond Cab Co. to delegate a rep- resentative to be a member of the com- mittee. The men named by Mr. Fowler last night. in most instances. were nominated by the assembled taxi men Meeting Next Week. The committee will meet at a place | vet to be determined, probably “early” | next week. As soon as its report on a | constitution and by-laws for the Taxi- | cab Board of Trade is completed, it will present its plan to another assembly of taximen for approval. Receiving that, permanent officers would be elected. Last night's meeting began with random discussions of new rates. Vir- tually all drivers advocated higher rates of some sort, and while agree- ment on a specific plan of increase was lacking, the growing concensus ap- peared to be in favor of dividing the pres- ent, first. or 20-cent zone, into two zones, designating the present second zone as zone three and the present third zone as zone four. Widely differing opinions were advanced, however, for the rates in the proposed new four- zone system, some proposing as low as 15 cents for the smaller new first! zone, which would embrace the shop-| ping district. and others insisting upon rates beginning at 35 cents. The high- est top figure suggested for the last| zone was 90 cents, but most suggestions | centered between 70 cents and 80 cents cents. It was when the meeting became involved in differences of opinion as to rates that C. H. Lettow, who event- ually was named to the Board of Trade | Committee. vigorously urged the men to “quit squabbling for just this once and get together in a Teal organiza- tion.” Lettow told the assembly that he had been hacking for 15 years and | that he had attended similar rate meetings many times only to see them avail nothing. He added that he per- sonally was a strong advocate of the meter plan. Need of Organization. “But let's forget meters and zones and flat rates this time” he said, “and let's organize a good strong| board of trade that will stand for us| all in everything that we need. Rates | aren’t everything. There are cab| stands, and 900 different things they | can lock us up for now that need at-! tending to. You can't get anywhere| as an individual man, but let a strong | taxicab board of trade fight your bat- | tle for you and people will give you a | | hearing Make that organization and| no cab company will stay out of it, and | | Gold help those who fry to stay cut |, The meeting applauded Lettow en- | thusiastically, and proposals immediate- ly came forward seeking to set .the or- ganization into motion. This plan also | was strongly advocated by A. W. Jacob- son, attorney for the City Cab Co., who said random discussion of rates “this| early in the game is a waste of your time.” In a brief address, Mr. Fowler con- tended that the national taxicab code, which is up for consideration and which | may be presented to the National Re- covery Administration today, cannot apply to rates of operation “because every city has its own conditions, and Washington is different from almost all| r famous hard coal o.

Believes Weakest Link in N. R. A. Is Provision to Protect Consumer. By the Associated Press. A—3 PERMANENT N. R. A. ADVANTAGES SEEN Senator Black Expects Hours and Pay Set-ups to Last After Eagle Folds. By the Associated Press. Confidence that the present revamp- ing of working conditions in industry will carry over into permanent hour and wage advantages after the emer- gency Blue Eagle folds its wings was expressed today by Senator Black, Democrat, of Alabama, a pioneer for shorter hours legislation. His bill, first introduced session be- fore last, held out for a 30-hour week, | shorter than that being provided in most of the industrial recovery codes, which are drawn under an act that may be extended to last three years. But he said the N. R. A. program is bringing “very distinct progress toward shorter hours and higher wages in in- dustry and business.” “I believe it will result in a perma- nent condition of shorter hours and higher wages, giving more needed Tecreation to the workers,” he said “I think it is essential to our social and econcmic system to bring about a fairer distribution of the products of labor, which has been clogged by their unfair distribution. Labor having been underpaid and capital overpaid, there has resulted over-capitalization and over-investment [ think the people have shown they realize the condition exists and are de- termined to bring about a correction of the abuse. Therefore, the improvement is permanent, whatever may be the phasz of the particular law.” ENGINEERS APPOINTED Named to Direct Public Works in Illinois and Ohio.
