FIRST LADY IS SURE
CODES AID WOMEN
Sees Furtherance of Equality
PrincipIe-Gives Luncheon
to N. R. A. Leaders.
BY the Associat ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt has es-
tablished to her own satisfaction that
the industrial codes are furthering the
principle of equal pay between women
and men for equal work.
Before leaying last night for White
Top Mountain, in Virginia, to attend
a folk song festival, Mrs. Roosevelt
went straight to the best sources in
her quest of information -On what is
happening in the industrial codes to
the wage scale of women. This sub
ject was brought to her attention by
women compla ining of lower minimums
for their sex in temporary ard a few
pending permanent codes.
Learns at Luncheon.
She had as lracheon guests Hugh S.
johnson, industrial administrator; Mrs.
aides: Miss Frances Perkins, Labor
Secretary. and Relief Administrator
Harry Hopkins, with Mrs. Hopkins.
To this group she propounded queries
on equal pay and on the problem OF
the 'ijobless, middle-sged woman"
LAS I understand it, the Government
is trying to have accepted generally
the principle of equal pay for equal
work." Mrs. Roosevelt said at a press
conference after the luncheon.
"A very interesting condition" was
her comment with regard to this mat
ter. She had learned. she said. that
the Government coud make no changes
if an industry was operating under a
collective agreement with a labor
union.
Predicts Adjustment.
Her belief was, however, that when
the agreements expired, and the mat
ter came up again, wage differences
based on sex probably would be ad-
justed."
"A few of the first Codes" Mrs.
Roosevelt added. had gone through
SO quickly. when people were working
under such terrific pressure, that there
might be inequalities" But these,
she prophesied hopefully, would be
revised in time"
The problem of the middle-aged men
as well as women, she said, would have
to be solved by industry itself and time
would be required. She said she be-
heved the ultimate solution would be
some form of insurance, but she saw
no immediate aid in prospect.
