The reply received by wire READS as
follows; RE Lumber Code hearing
under procedure statement must be
filed asserting specific provision OF
code on which you want to be heard
Confine statement to elimination OF
modification or addition of specific
provision. In order to be sure Of
notification suggest wire"
From this wire, it is clear that the
Recovery administration is placing
obstacles in the way of permitting the
real representative of the workers in
the lumber industry to present the
working conditions of the industry
and the workers demands. 1t will be
permitted to deal only with certain
specific provisions of the code. On
\ the other hand, the administration
has given ample time to the repre-
sentatives of the -Four Ell, the COM
pany union in the industry, to pre-
sent it's facts in support of the manu-
facturers. 1t has incorporated the
demands of the Four El in the code
of fair competition which is now re-
leased in printed form.
This is not surprising, since the
-Four Ell representatives have openly
endorsed the minimum wage scales
proposed by the lumbermen of 2212
cents an hour, declaring that they
are higher than the wages paid te
the workers in 1929 before the crisis
Wages actually ranged from $l9.2(
to S45 in the camps.
William Green was also given the
floor to testify for the lumber work
ers, although there is no A. F. OF l.
union in the industry. He repudi-
ated the Four Ell as company union
forgetting to say that the American
Federation of Labor officials spon-
sored the organization of the Foul
Ell and endorsed it as patriotic in
stitution, urging the workers to sup
port it.
The representative of the Lumber
Workers Union will appear at the
hearings on Tuesday to present the
ering wages, hours and working con-
demands of the lumber workers Gov
ditions in the camps and mills. In
tonorrow's issue of the Daily we viii

DAIRY FARMERS
TO STRIKE FOR
HIGHER PRICES
Many Urging Commit
tees of Action for Rank
and File Leadership

ALBANY, July 24.--Another strike
Of dairy farmers against the course
of the Milk Control Board doomed
today as twenty dairymen, headed
bv Albert Woodhead of Rochester,
appeared before the board and de-
manded that the producer receive 40
per cent of the retail price Of but
terfat milk. If this demand is not
met said woodhead the farmers will
keep their milk home after August
First"
Soaring Prices to Consumers.
When Governor Lehman appointed
the Milk Control Board he said it
would be an agency that would
guarantee fair price to the farmer
for his milk produce. Instead OF
paying the farmer enough even to
cover the cost of production the
Board raised the price Of milk to
consumers in the towns and cities in
order to help the dairy trust. When
prices we're boosted to the consumer
the Board announced that it was to
enable the farmer to get a price that
would cover production costs. This
has not been done, so the farmers
are now demanding that they get 45
per cent. of the retail price, leaving
the other SIS per cent to the dairy
trust, the retailers and the railroads
On a number of occasions the
Milk Control Board has penalized
milk dealers who refused to boost
prices to consumers.
Woodhead Doubtful Figure.
Woodhead and the 20 men who
came with him are members of the
newly organized Empire Producers
Association, with a membership of
more than 1000. These, he said, rep
resent $4,000 dairy farmers through
out the state. He was one OF the
leaders of the strikes that recently
took place in the Rochester area and
his actions in discouraging mass &C
ton of the farmers lead many to
believe that he will try to gain lead
ership of the movement against low
milk prices only in order to reach
compromise with the dairy trust.
Many farmers are urging the Gre
alton of committees OF action, demo
cratically elected, to ensure rank and
file leadership of the fight for cost
of production prices.
