LOWER WAGES
IN SOUTH ARE
NRA PROBLEM
Industrial Peace Plan Is
Threatened Over Pro-
poSalS.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times Suecfai Writer

WASHINGTON. Aug 1.-The
Mason and Dixon line, dividing the
United States into northern and
southern wage groups, threatens the
industrial peace of the country to-
day as directly as it threatened the
general peace in 1860.
Hearings now in progress on the
coal code have brought this into
sharp relief. But the problem OF
competition between north and south
on different wage scales has come
before the recovery administration
in connection with nearly every in
dustry TO present a code so far.
In the cotton textile industry, first
to present a code. the recovery adj
ministration permitted the south 10
pay 81 week less to its lowest paid
workers than northern mills.
This precedent, however, has not
satisfied the many groups contend
ing that the principle of differen-
tial is unsound. and the decision is
going to have to be made over again
in connection with coal. steel, lum-
Der. hosiery and other less basic in
dustries.
Frank Taplin. Cleveland coal
operator with mines in both the
north and south told the recovery
administration at the coal hearings
Thursday that records kept by his
own companies show that living
costs are often greater in the south
than in the north.
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers, said the same

Taplln explained the greater cost
Of food TO southern workers by the
fact that southern company stores
are located as rule in isolated
communities. where circumstances
conspire with employers TO force
workers to patronize them.
In northern communities. he said.
company stores usually have TO
compete with chain groceries.
Climatic conditions. efficiency of
southern workers. Negroes. and
longer freight hauls all complicate
the problem OF competing northern
and southern industries.
Lewis declared that bureau Of
labor statistics figures of food costs,
weighted according TO the import
ance of each item in the working
familys budget, gave an average
cost for fifty-one cities of s25l AZ
for a years food. For thirteen
southern cities the average cost was
s25165.
AS to rents, Lewis figures showed
that average rent per room in
ninety-two cities was $3.50 in the
south, 1925 in the north and
$50 80 in the west.

j, s. WILL PREVENT
TOO HIGH PRICES
Secretary Wallace Sounds
Warning to American In
stitute of Cooperation.
By the Associated Press.

! BY the Associated fTeSS
RALEIGH, N. c.. July 25.-Warning
that the administration will seek to
prevent extreme high prices as well as
extreme low prices for agricultural
products was sounded here last night
by Secretary Wallace in an address to
! the American Institute of Co-opera-
ton.
Referring to the British operations
of few years ago, whereby the price
of crude rubber was stimulated from
IA cents to more than 81 pound.
only to slump later under increased
production inspired by the high price,
the cabinet member said:
What was true of rubber can also
be true of fruit, of tobacco, of cotton
or most anything else. Production con-
| troll, yes; but prices must not be stimu-
lated to go so high as to unbalance the
supply and demand situation"
Under the farm adjustment act. he
explained, it is mandatory that prices
be sought for agricultural products that
| will maintain a fair exchange basis
with prices Of the things the farmer
buys"
Held Most Important.
This last point. it seems to me, is
of the utmost importance" he con-
| tinued. If the machinery Of the farm
act can prevent them, the dangers OF
extreme prices in either direction will
be avoided. There ought not to be any
thing comparable to rubber at dollar
| a pound"
Secretary Wallace discussed past ef-
forts of cooperative agricultural or
ganizations to increase prices for their
members by reducing the spread be-
| tween prices at the farm and to the
consumer, and by limiting supplies.
In spite of failures made by these
non n-governmental efforts, he declared
that "the necessity for controlling pro-
| duction became increasingly obvious.
Other methods of raising prices,
| in so far as they succeeded, stimulated
production and helped to amass our
present surpluses."
As leaders in the cooperative move
that they have right to feel tre-
mendously encouraged" by the probable
effect of the agricultural adjustment
act upon the future OF co-operatives. &.
| After mentioning some Of the dim
culties encountered by the co-opera-
tives because of diversified interests
among farmers, he asserted:
Close Cooperation Urged.
| Now that farmers have in effect
been given the centralizing power Of
the Government. it would seem to be
the part of wisdom for cooperative
leaders to cooperate as closely as pos
sible with the agricultural adjustment
administration to educate their pro-
ducer members day by day. week by
week, year by year, as to the funda-
mental economic laws which must be
observed If spectacular collapses, like
that of the Stevenson (rubber) plan,
are to be avoided"
In another part of his address, he
said: 1T will be genuine progress if
we can drive home the concept of
prices that enable fair exchange. Ger
tainly the people OF this country long,
above all, for an economic machine that
will keep on even keel. and I believe
they would quickly relinquish thei:
hopes of spasmodic speculative profits
in return for some assurance of mod
crate, but we'll maintained, incomes"
