Millers Ask Tax on
Products from Corn
Wheat Man Claims Process
Levy Has Reduced Use Of
Bread Grain in U. S,
PLEA MADE TO WALLACE
Idea Is to Lift Corn Prices to
Put Them in Same ReIa-
ton as Before

Washington, Aug. 22.-(P-George
Livingston, executive vice president Of
the Millers national federation, Tues
day requested Secretary Wallace to
place compensatory tax on corn pro-
ducts used for human consumption to
prevent q reduction in the use Of
wheat flour.
In a letter to the secretary, Livings-
ton asked immediate consideration of
the matter with a view to imposing
such tax as would restore the nor
NAL price relationship between the
products Of wheat and corn"
Since the imposition of the pro-
cessing tax on wheat on July 9, 1888,
wheat flour millers have been observ-
ing constantly increasing trend on
the part of consumers, particularly In
certain sections Of the country, to SUBJ
stitute corn products for wheat pro-
ducts" he said. THE extent Of this
substitution has now reached the
point where 1t threatens seriously to
reduce the consumption Of wheat
flour"
Livingston added:
The executive committee Of the
millers' national federation, at a
meeting on August 10. 1888, acting fol-
and in behalf Of the wheat flour mill
ing industry, passed unanimously q
resolution requesting the imposition,
Of processing tau or a compromising
tax on corn products used for human
consumption"

Violate Blue Eagle

Question Of Enforcement and

Washington, Aug. 22.-ReA re-
quest from Hugh s. Johnson to resent
price increases by jobbers was put
before the nations retailers Tuesday
at the opening Of the formal hear
ing on their wage-Nfting, work.
shortening code.
The administrator said there would
be no man hunting connected with
the blue eagle provisions but that, If
the recovery administration found
cheaters, 1t would take the blue
eagle right off their windows"
The retail code, which embraces
virtually all stores and shops in towns
and cities Of the country, except drug
and food stores, affects more en-
ployers and employees than any Of the
other major businesses.
It calls for a 44-hour week with
certain exceptions, minimum wages
Of from SO to 81 week, according
to the population and location Of the
town or city, and bans child labor.
Under the code, Lew Hahn, presi
dent Of the National Retail Dry
trade committees would draft regula-
tons to apply the code to stores in
their districts. A. D. Whiteside, the
presiding deputy administrator, sug-
gested that questions OF enforcement
and control be submitted to the ma
tional committee for determination.
Opposes Runaway Market
The recovery administrator assert
ed that, SO far as speculative price
rises are concerned, his administra-
ton considers it "our duty to see that
there is no runaway market"
He said the national industrial re-
covery act would increase prices to
meet new costs imposed by COM
pliance with the trade charters but
just because of this there Is no rea
son to go way beyond reason. If you
do this you Just kill the goose that
lays the golden egg. The house that
We are trying to build will collapse
like house Of cards.
The retail trade hearing was de-
scribed by johnson as one Of the
most significant OF any so far held.
The retail trade, embracing virtually
stores and shops except drug and
food, affects more employers and
more employees than any other Of the
major businesses.
In enforcing compliance with the
blue eagle provisions, johnson assert
ed there would be no violence, no
man hunting and no boycotting.
But, he said, the administration
would move to uncover cheaters be-
hind the blue eagle and then I'VE are
going to move in and take the blue
eagle right off their windows"
Ballyhoo Not Enough
"You can't execute a great national
law like this on ballyhoo and hooey,"
johnson said. THE purpose now is
to try to get as wide a measure Of
cooperation as possible. After that
has been done-and It is almost over
now-then we are going to see to
those who are doing the cheating.

enable all trades and industries to

"deplorable conditions" in the now
closed First National Bank-Detroit

banking holiday. He also asserted
chat, had not "the powers that be"
been reluctant to start IAN epidemic

year" they would have required a
more drastic write down of losses
