Peek, Administrator of the farm adjustment act, said today he had no reference to advertising in a recent address in which he said econ- omies should be effected in the distri- bution costs of farm products. At the Farm Administration it was #aid on behalf of officials: “There has never been any disposi- tion by any official of this a stra- tion to single out advertising costs. “There has, of course, been some @iscussion of distribution costs in general.” On behalf of the Farm Administra- tion, it was said also that no official of the administration had suggested with administration authorization to any tobacco company or food corpora- tion that a way to increased costs under the farm justment act and the National Recovery Administration would be to slash advertising disburse- ments. It was said that the only suggestion with regard to advertising from a to- bacco company came from an official of the concern and that he sald if tobacco prices were stabilized under the farm adjustment act he might be able to augment, instead of diminish advertising.

A. by the Orthodox Jewry of the United States was pledged by delegates to the annual convention of the Assembly of Orthodox Rabbis yesterday. Approval of the recovery act was voiced after they had heard an address by William E. Sweet, former Governor of Colorado, who flew here from Wash- In,'!on to discuss the N. R. A. ‘If the N. R. A is sound for the times in which we live, it will accom- plish what it set out to do,” said Sweet. *If it is unsound. it will fail. But the | soundness of the N. R. A. depends upon the elimination of unfair practices, & decrease in the hours of labor and upon increased wages, 50 that the worker will be able to buy back that which he produces.” ‘The convention approved a “charen” ordering a boycott of German'goods by all Orthodox Jews in the United States and Canada.

NEWARK, N. J,, September 7.—Eric Ross, labor union official, charges vio- Iations of the N. R. A. at the local Lea Fabrics, Inc., factory, of which Gen. Hugh 8. Johnson, N. R. A. administra- tor, is president, in telegrams sent today to. President Roosevelt, Gen. Johnson, Secretary of Labor Perkins Labor Board of the N. R. A, Ross, who is secretary and treasurer of the International Carpet Workers' Union, with offices here, said the Lea firm has cut the working week of its| last employes from 48 to 40 hours without increasing their hourly wage, which is 40 cents. This, he said, reduces weekly wages from $19.20 to $16. e also charges Herbert Smalley, an employe, was discharged from the Lea factory for attempting to organize a union. Ross said Smalley had been with the firm four years and no satis- factory reason for his discharge had been given. s While the Lea firm has added addi- tional employes, Ross said, it 15 now operating on a 24-hour schedule, seven days a week.

Wages Would Remain at Present Level Under 35- Hour Week. By the Assoclated Pre: DETROIT, September 7.—The ab- sence of any outward indications of concern among Ford Motor Co. execu- tives over the N. R. A. controversy is adding strength to a growing belief that some kind of an agreement is ex- pected to bring Henry Ford under the Blue Eagle's banner. There was, however, no hint of & formal announcement of policy, and no certainty that one would be forthcom- ing when Ford returns, probably the of the week. Edsel Ford, president of the com- pany, already was back from his vaca- tion at Seal Harbor, Me. To adopt the national automobile code and qualify for a Blue Eagle, the Ford Motor Co. presumably would be expected to reduce its working hours from 40 to 35; waive its traditional stand against collective bargaining by employes, and consent to some degree supervision by the Natiénal Automo- le Chamber of Commerce, adminis- trative agent of the code. The latter is a sticking point, for in line with its policy of abeolute independence, the Ford Co. is not a member of the N. A C.C. ‘The Ford minimum wage, $4 for an eight-hour d already is above the 43-cents-an-hour minimum prescribed by the code, and Ford officials have revealed that a revision is in progress, stepping up the minimum for most workers to $4.80 for an eight-hour day. i‘;x some quarters that was interpreted as laying the groundwork for a possible reduction in working hours to the figure set by the code, without curtailing the income of the workers, but that was pure conjecture. At 60 cents an hour, an employe would draw $21 for a 35- hour week at 50 cents an hour. A Ford Motor Co. tug was reported to have docked near the Ford Summer camp, a few miles from Big Bay, Mich., | yesterday, but there were no other signs thltz Ford expected to leave his re- treat. s e British Financier Dies.
