FAIR COMPETITION is
One PROPOSED CODE
TN INDUSTRIAL PLAN
Increased Wages, Shorter Working Hours and
Spreading Out Of Employment Are Some OF the
Ingredients of New BilI-Officials Are Very Busy
BY H. O. THOMPSON

UNITED Press stan COrreSpOnuentD
Washington, June 20.-UP)-
Increased wages, shorter working
hours and spreading out of en-
ployment are provided in the first
code Of fair competition formally
proposed under President Roose-
velt's program for planned and
controlled industry.
The first proposed code, submit
ted by the cotton textile industry,
provides for an increase OF APP
proximately 80 per cent in wages
for a large part of the industry
and q reduction of approximately
20 per cent in working hours.
Minimum wages in textile mills
would be fixed at $40 weekly in
the south and $11 weekly in the
north. Forty hours would be the
maximum work week. These pro-
visions would apply to all workers
except apprentices, cleaners and
outside employees.
The code was studied earnestly
today as an indication of how the
Revolutionary industry control plan
will be applied. The textile indus
try was the first to submit its code
officially. Other industries such as
coal, steel and rubber, soon will
swing into line in this great eco
l1omic adventure.
The textile code, must obtain the
approval of Hugh s. Johnson, ad-
minfstrator of the industrial con-
troll program, and ultimately of
President Roosevelt. Public hear
ings will begin June 27, with en-
ployers, workers and consumers
being given an opportunity for sug-
gestions or criticisms.
The textile code was published
after day of important develop
ments which found the national re-
covery program moving steadily
forward. The first money from
the $4,000, 100000 public works
fund was allocated-$400, 900, 900
to states for road building and
$23S, 100000 to the navy for new
warships.
Johnson announced the person.
mel of his organization. AS pre-
viously indicated, it has been
built SO that employer, laborer and
consumer will be well represented.
But chief interest centered in
the textile code and the methods by
which it proposed to govern the
industry. The application was filed
by committee composed of
George A. Sloan. president of the
Cotton Textile Institute, Inc; r. NJ.
Marchant. president of the Amer
lean Cotton Manufacturers asso-
citation, and Ernest M. Hood.

Second Largest
Treasury Deficits

In the previous fiscal year ended
June 80, 1882. when government
expenditures reached their peace
time peace, the federal govern
INIT operated at a deficit of ST.
SS5.362,000. In the wartime year
ended June 80, 1919, the govern
ment was faced with record high
deficit of $13,370,637,000.
With expenditures for the 1894
fiscal year starting July /, slashed
by nearly billion dollars, govern
ment statisticians feel that the
era of large deficits is passed. Ex-
penses and receipts for the COM

The governments income for
the year ended this June 80, will
be approximately $4,000, 900, 900,

more than a billion dollars spent
by the reconstruction Finance
Corporation aggregated approx
mately $3.50, 0OO, 700.
If all expenses of the govern

including the r. +. C. advances
were included. the deficit this year
would stand at close to .$3,000.-

A total of s1,241,SS2,0G4 was
advanced to the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation this fiscal
year to carry the governments
large relief activities
The one and three quarter bill
lion dollar deficit and the payment
of more than billion dollars to

poration was financed by the fed
eral government through large
bond issues. This financing sent
the public debt this month to the
highest level in IL years.
Public debt of the United States
government this month was esti-
mated at $22,45S.926,781, against
$19,5S7.002.000 on June 80. last,
an increase of nearly $3.00O,OOO.-

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. IL
Governor Clifford Pinchot unex-
pectedly appeared on the floor Of
the senate today and demanded that
body discipline Senator George l..
Reed, of Dauphin county, for the
reference that Reed made to Mrs.
Cornelia Bryce Pinchot, wife OF the
governor, in an attack on the adj
ministration Monday night
Il cannot properly horsewhip a
senator, however much 1 may de-
sire to, and however much the sena-
tor may desire it, the governor de-
clared.
Members of the senate were star
tied by the sudden unneralded ap-
pearance of the chief executive
They sat quietly while the Gov
ernor, white-faced and with tightly
drawn lips, denounced this cow
ardly system of striking at me
through a woman"
The Governor charged a bastard
ly attack instigated by men high
in the Republican organization"
No one could recall a similar &C.
casion in the past when a chief
executive Of the commonwealth had
appeared before the senate to de-
mand disciplinary measures.
No action was taken by the sem
ate.
Senator Reed, in his attack on
the administration from the floor
of the senate, referred to an auto
mobile accident in which Mrs. Pin
chot is alleged to have figured in
Newark, N. j., in 1881. The Sena-
tor said there had been gossip about
Mrs. Pinchot's sobriety.

Following the announcement OF

ernor, Barnhart announced reor-
ganization of the commission, with

The entire setup is a temporary
arrangement pending legislative
change creating a three-member,
full-time commission, as asked for
by Governor McNutt in his mes
sage.

ricane proportions, lashed southern
California early today.
At Ontario, thirty-seven miles

The storm apparently extended as
far south as the Mexican border.
No rains were reported.
The naval radio station at San

blowing there. The coast guard
station at the same port expressed
fears for the safety Of moored ship
ping craft if the wind storm in
creased.
Initial reports indicated the gale
centered at Ontario. Streets were
filled with uprooted trees. The gale
broke here late Tuesday night and
was reported increasing in intensity
early today. Citrus crops suffered
heavily, it was feared.

the Staying freely for more than
two hours, Plunkett said.
I'VE all have Dreams" he quoted
Moor as saying, which sometimes
can not be realized because the
facts of life are hard. My dreams
was one of advancement in my pro-

But Marjorie was not a home

to the jury late Thursday after
Judge Charles A. Shuey had over

Moor Likely to Take Stand
Moor took an active interest in
the questioning of witnesses. Time
after time he turned to his attor-
neys with suggested questions and
denials of what was said or done
during his interview with the for
mer states attorney and the news
paper man.
The Rev. and Mrs. A. E. Wrent-
