A—8 * 'RENT STRIKE' TEST T0BE MADE TODAY First Eviction Case Against Pontiac Auto Workers Will Be Tried. By the Associated Press | PONTIAC, Mich., June 3.—The first | ®viction case to come to trial since ted Automobile Workers began & “rent strike,” June 1, brought land- lord and tenant legally to grips today. The trial was scheduled for 1:30 Pm. before Circuit Court Commis- sioner Verne C. Hampton. Odin H. Johnson, attorney for the U. A, W. A, said it would be a jury trial The suit was filed May 28. Mrs. Ada A. Cook seeks to evict Wilber Jen- ings, a factory worker, from a four- room apartment in § remodeled dwell- ing. Jennings said his rent was in- ereased recen from $47.66 a month 10 $1250 a week . Cook contends the purpose of | it is to remove the tenant, re- gardless of his payment or non-pay- ment of rent.

In other respects, too, the meas- ure followed the pattern of the T. V. A. act. “Each authority,” Norris said in ex- planation of his bill, “is directed to generate electricity wherever the same can be done—consistent with the im- provement of navigation and flood control—to build transmission lines, to transmit electricity thus produced and sell the same to States, munici= palities and farm organizations.” The major departure from the T. V. law dealt with injunctions, “This bill,” said Norris, a critic of court injunctions against T. V. A. power activities, “prevents the issu- ance of any injunctions by district courts enjoining any of the activities of the different authorities, except upon the giving of a bond which will compensate not only the authority, but also municipalities or farm organiza- tions which may be injured, or de- A prived of profits, because of such in- | junctions.

The President was assisted in his study by the National Resources Com- mittee. Creation of & national planning board ultimately to take over man- agement of the entire program was included in the President’s plan for reorganization of the executive branch of the Government submitted to Con- gress earlier in the year. *fiage-Hm;' (Continued From First Page.) was the first witness to present em- ployer reaction to the bill at the con- gressional hearings. He expressed hope the committee would not delay wage and hour regu- lation efforts until a majority of his colleagues are converted to its sup- port. He added, however, that some conversion is occurring as younger men take over control of enterprise and increasing taxes bring home the burden of unemployment costs.

Tying the need of wage-and-hour legislation into that of reducing unem- ployment and eventually balancing the budget, Johnson charged that “organ- ized business has failed to come for- ward with any constructive plan aimed | toward the solution of national un- employment.” As an approach to his ultimate goal NEW...a Cream Deodorant, which safely Stops Perspiration 1.

WASHINGTO of a 5-day, 30-hour week, Johnson proposed the setting-up of three mas- ter codes to be applied to differing classifications of industry. A $16 weekly wage and 40-hour maximum week would be the first objective with even higher standards to follow. “Most industry,” Johnson declared, “has progressed to a point where it would make money on a 6-hour day. That is the maximum length for an effective working day if the health and energy of employes are to be consid- ered. Such a working day would draw the best type of employe.” Warns of Wage Differentials. Johnson warned the joint commit- tee, however, that any attempt to write into this legislation wage differ- entials by territories or by industries will result in confusion and probably in the defeat of the effort. Questioned further on this issue by Co-chairman Connery, the witness de- clared flatly he does not favor wage differentials. “The South has suffered through its| traditional wage policy. Furthermore, the South does not need lower stand- ards to attract industry.” Elaborating on his proposal for | three master codes, Johnson suggested | code A for modern industry, code B for semi-modern industry and code C for backward industry. Labor Cost Is Basis. “Code A would be a six-hour day and a 30-hour week,” he explained. “Code B would be a seven-hour day and a 35-hour week, and code C, an | eight-hour day and a 40-hour week. “One way to classify industries, which would be quite simple, is to arrive at the percentage of labor in the cost of the final product We might say, for example, that a prod- uct in which the labor element was less than 25 per cent would fall into code A, and, therefore, should go to the six-hour day, 30-hour week, Prod- ucts in which the labor content in the final cost was greater than 25 per cent, but not in excess of 50 per cent, automatically would fall into code B, while such products as had a labor content in excess of 50 per cent would fall into code C. 35-hour week within some period, such as six months or a year.

Johnson cited figures to support his contention that standards of hours and wages would not add materially to costs of production, adding: “The present situation and the present method of attempting to meet the cost of finished products this bill.
