at was this development that forced
the association to present a code. AT
the same time a petition was present

for the terms of the Presidents re-
employment agreement whereby men,

without reducing hours or increasing

its 54-hour provision statewide for
the employments covered; North Car
DINA supplemented its existing 11-55
hour law in manufacturing with a To-
So hour law for stores and public eat
ing places; and Texas brought addi-
tional employments under the 9-54
hour law.
Amendments were made to two
night-work laws. For manufacturing
plants operating two shifts of not
more than 8-hours a day each, and
not more than s days a week, Indiana
extended the 10 o'clock limit to mid
night. In Massachusetts the law that
prohibits women to work in textile
factories between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m.
was amended to include leather man
ufacturing in this prohibition. How
ever, since July l, the Massachusetts
Legislature has empowered the COM
missioner of labor and industries to
suspend the 6 o'clock law during the
life of the codes effective under au-
thority of the National Recovery Ad-
ministration.
The value of any law depends upon
the effectiveness of its enforcement.
With this fact in mind, Miss Frances
Perkins, Secretary of Labor, called a
conference in Washington on July 10
on the administration of minimum
wage laws, at which representatives
of States having recently passed min
imum-wage laws were in attendance.
The purpose of the conference as
stated by Miss Perkins in her open
ing address was to arrive at a con-
v%enient and harmonious method of
enforcement technique by the states.
The value of a common basis of forms,
reports, records, etc., so that material
would be comparable, was stressed.
Among the principles formulated
at this conference by representatives
of the governors of six new minimum
wage states were the following: The
minimum-wage rates should CORES
pond to those in the codes approved by
the National Recovery Administra-
ton; there should be no differential
in the minimum wage for learners.
since the minimum for an industry is
based on unskilled work; an hourly
rate higher than the regular minimum
should be paid part-time workers;
overtime work should be paid for at
the rate of time and a half; and piece
work rates should be fixed according
to the principle laid down by the Pres
ident in his acceptance of the textile
code.

there has been but few major con

an invitation was extended to the rep

formulating a code by mutual agree

that to apply a code to the newspapers

DEFLATION HITS THE COLLEGE
(By BRUCE CATION

Few American institutions have been hit
harder by the depression than the educa-
tional system. And their woes are not
only those which arise from a shortage of
ready cash; they come from dawning
realization that the American college Or
university has, in too many cases, been of
on the wrong track during the past decade
The depression has simply made this fact
plain.
The editor of "The Chakett," the official
organ of the Chi Phi fraternity, remarks
that evidence of this is to be found in the
sadly Debated condition of thousands OF
college graduates today. Looking back al
the past few years, he indicts whole col,
lege generation, in words that are worth
considering.
Recalling the thousands of young men
who went to college with no particular
desire ito get an education and Won THEN
degrees without ever really opening their
eyes to the real problems of the day, he
says:
81 doubt if a more specifically minded
generation ever came of age. 1t is indeed
not at all unlikely that future historians
will say that while the foundations of ives
tern society were breaking up, the youn,
men of American universities were watch
ing football games, going to tea dances ant
aping thesmanners of a corrupt plutocracy

RETURN TO FORMER
SALARY SCALE URGED
National Women's Trade Union
League Petitions Presi-
dent-elect.

A return to the Federal salary scale
which existed prior to the economy act
was urged by the National Women's
Trade Union League of America in a
letter transmitted to Pres1dent-elect
Roosevelt today.
The letter petitioned the President
elect ION behalf of organized women
workers in various trades and occupa-
tions" to oppose further Federal wage
cuts and to use his influence to restore
the scale lowered by the economy act.
The appeal, signed by Miss Elisa
beth Christman, Secretary-treaSurer OF
the league. said in part:
We believe the employment policy
Of the Federal Government should be
a constructive example to private in
dustry. A wage-cutting policy on the
part Of the Government, particularly
at this time, not only works hardship
to Government workers but brings dis
aster to wage workers everywhere. We
respectfully urge that no further SAL
airy reductions be imposed and that
Congress restore at once the salary scale
and employment conditions existing be-
fore the passage Of the so-called
economy act now in effect"
The letter pointed out that Gov
ernment salary standards are not high
and that the total savings to the Gov
ernn1ent through wage reductions are
insignificant as a factor in balancing
the budget and the present wage-cut-
ting policy Of the Government fails to
JUSTIFY itself as measure OF economy"
