Permanent N. R. A.
ADVANTAGES SEEN
Senator Black Expects Hours and
Pay Set-ups to Last After
Eagle Folds.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Confidence that the present revamp-
ing of working conditions in industry
will carry over into permanent hour
and wage advantages after the emer-
gency Blue Eagle folds its wings was
expressed today by Senator Black,
Democrat, of Alabama, a pioneer for
shorter hours legislation.
His bill, first introduced session be-
fore last held out for 30-hour week,
shorter than that being provided in
most of the industrial recovery codes,
which are drawn under an act that
may be extended to last three years.
But he said the N. R. A. program is
bringing very distinct progress toward
shorter hours and higher wages in in
dustry and business"
Il believe it will result in a perma-
nent condition of shorter hours and
higher wages, giving more needed
recreation to the workers." he said
Il think 1t is essential to our social
and economic system to bring about a
fairer distribution of the products of
labor, which has been clogged by their
unfair distribution. Labor having been
underpaid and capital overpaid, there
has resulted over-capitaliZation and
ver-investment.
I think the people have shown they
realize the condition exists and are de-
termlned to bring about correction of
the abuse. Therefore, the improvement
is permanent whatever may be the
phase of the particular law"

SHOE AGREEMENT
REPORTED REACHED
Provisions Held Satisfactory
to All Sides Will Be Drafted
Into Code.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An agreement reported to be salts
factory to all groups in the shoe in
dustry was taken up by the National
Boot and Shoe Manufacturers AsSocla-
ton today to be drafted into a new
code for the approval of the National
Recovery Administration.
The agreement. an associate of j. 0.
Ball, managing director OF the national
association said, provided for the rep
resentation on the controlling board
for the industry of the felt slipper and
stitch down method groups as well as
the group of Southwestern manufact-
urers who claimed they were unrepre-
sented under the original plan.
It was reached last night at long
conference lasting until early this morn-
ing.
Battled Throughout Day.
Opposing groups battled over the ad-
ministration question throughout an all
day conference called yesterday by N.
R. A. officials. Unable to reach deci-
sion, they we're ordered by Deputy Ad-
ministrator c. c. Williams to discuss
the matter among themselves and sub
NIT new code which would repre-
sent all groups in place of the draft
originally put forward by the national
association.
The original code would set up the
national association as the controlling
body. The American Shoe Manufac-
turers. an association of factories in
the South and West. proposed an
amendment setting up an elective
board to administer the code.
Williams ordered the inclusion of
the stitch down and slipper groups
when they protested they should be
considered in the general shoe code.
The matter finally was left in the
hands of the national association to
draft new code and submit to the Re
covery Administration. The N. r. A.
planned to call public hearing as
soon as possible after the new code is
submitted.
Contract Clause Taken Out.
The clause in the original code pro-
viding for continuation of present la
Dor contracts was understood to have
been ordered striken out by Williams
at yesterdays conference because 1t
violated the provision of the national
recovery act which forbade the recog-
milton of company or specific unions.
That clause had been protested by
Edward ]. Derosier of Brockton, Mass,
representing the Brotherhood OF Shoe
and Allied Craftsmen, an insurgent
union. John j. Mara of the Boot and
Shoe Workers Union, which has con-
tracts with manufacturers in that area,
said he understood the contracts would
be respected whether or not the clause
was inserted in the code.

OGBURN EXPLAINS
HIS RESIGNATION
Believes Weakest Link in N. R. a.
Is Provision to Protect
Consumer.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. August dissatisfaction
that his resignation as director of the
Consumers Board of the N R. A. would
result in the effect he desired was ex-
pressed today by Prof William F.
Ogburn,. University of Chicago social
scientist.
He denied his resignation from the
Washington post last week was caused
by any fued and said it was aimed to
attract attention to the opinion he held
that no adequate provision for safe
guarding the interest of the consumer
had been set up under the recovery
program.
The general policies of the N. R. A.
are admirable" Dr. Ogburn said. But
the weakest link is the provision for
protection of the consumer The mer-
gency nature of this act must soon
give away to long time set-up. What
is needed is q comprehensive system of
public checks on the reasonableness of
prices which are fixed without restraints
of competition
There must be an adequate organiza-
ton for gathering and interpreting the
facts and figures relating to prices and
quality. This should not be relegated
to a minor role"

 First Hospital
 The first hospital in Juneau was founded in 1886 by Sister Mary Zeno of the Sisters of St.. Ann, who came to Juneau from Victoria, B. C., in an open boat in 1885, when Juneau was only camp not extending beyond Second street. Three Sisters comprised the first staff and eight beds was the capacity of the hospital. contrasted with the 75 beds to be provided under the enlarged building pro- gram. It later was enlarged and was house in the building to be re- placed by the new structure, Sis ter Mary zeno, who had a faculty fot organizing. and financing the building of hospitals, remained in Juneau until, 1898, when she went to Dawson and organized and built the present hospital in the Yukon capital.
 In 1909 she returned to Juneau and remained until 1918.

 On October 8, 1914, the present hospital was dedicated. and it was a memorable day in. ,Juneaus civic progress. A reception and enter tainment. were held and the public invited to visit and inspect the new hospital. Gov. J. F. A. Strong delivered a felicitous dedicatory address, and His Excellency, the Right Reverend J. R. Crimont, S.J., DD, in referring to the institu- ton, said; "St. Ann's Hospital is not a stranger in our must, nor a newcomer in the community; born twenty eight years ago, almost a twin of the town, it has grown with her. has shared her vicissi- tudes of sad days and gladsome days" Featured in the musical program of the day were Crystal B. Snow and Mrs. Angus Mackay. vocalists; and Mrs. George Simp- kins, pianist.
 The need of enlarged hospital acconlmodations. is. shown by the records which contain the names of l6,300. patients who have re- ceiyed treatment during the life of the hospital among which were many of charity and destitution.
