A. F. Of L. Head Denies Construction League
Charge Organized Workers Are Blocking APP
proval Of Code, and Declares Accusation Is
Attempt toRaise False Issue.

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-Sis
objections to the proposed construc-
tion code were cited by President
William Green, of the American
Federation of Labor, in commenting
on the charge of the Construction
League that labor is blocking the
code.
President Green denied the charge
and said that labor disclaims respon-
sibility for failure to secure approval
of code for the building industry.
He said he regarded the charge as
additional evidence that powerful in
terests are seeking to discredit the
national recovery act.
Labor is not blocking the construc-
tion code, or any other CODE" said
President Green at American FEEDER
alton of Labor headquarters. la
Dor has not threatened general
strike, or any other strike. Instead,
labor has endeavored to give its best
service so that codes, when complet-
ed, might be workable and contain
within them a decent measure of JUS
tice.
Labor will join with those direct
ly interested in promoting approval
of sound and just code, but it will
not approve or support a code for
the building construction industry
that is unfair, impracticable and un-
just. | resent the unfair and unwar-
ranted accusations of the Construc-
tion League, and | assert that those
accusations were made for the pur-
pose of creating false issue. The
issue is not found in the position of
the American Federation of Labor; it
is found in the proposed code spon-
sored by the Construction League. The
American Federation of Labor is act
ing in behalf of and in support of the
building trades unions, and their pur-
pose is to secure measure of justice
for the workers identified with the
building trades industry.
Labor has offered constructive OBJ
jections. Summarized they are:
First, the proposed code fixes a
48-hour week. 1t seems preposterous
to establish a work week of 48 hours
when 80 per cent of the workers in
the building construction industry are
unemployed and have been for most
of the last three years. Through col
lective bargaining a 40-hour week has
been quite generally established.
Second, the proposed code fixes a
minimum wage, at about 40 cents an
hour, for unskilled workers and fixes
none for skilled workers. Fully 86
per cent of the workers employed in
the building construction industry are
skilled workers. Fixing of mini
mum wage for the unskilled worker
alone will surely tend to degrade the
wage standards of the vast majority,
who are skilled.
"Third, the proposed code permits
the code authority to decide what is
true representation, make local wage
agreements, exercise the power to
determine which are and which are
not unions, and to pass upon the
bona fide character Of collective bar
gaining.
Fourth, labor is accorded no rep
resentation on the code authority, al
though the proposed code seeks to

ployment and two technical points in
connection with the code under which
the concern is operating will be ad-
judicated by the boards subcommit-
tee, on which Charles l.. Picket rep
resents labor.
Simultaneously Father Wynhoven
announced the appointment Of the in
dustrial relations committee compos-
ed of four officials of the plant and
four workers to adjust future differ
ences The workers representatives
are A. j. Bourgeois, Peter Sears, Will
son Bourgeois, and Blaise Bourgeois.
"The differences" Father Wynho-
ven said, "were mostly misunder-
standings on the part of both en-
ployers and employees as result OF
not being thoroughly familiar with
the code affecting the plant"

OIL MONOPOLY :.
 PLAN IN FRANCE
 AMERICANS

PARIS, July 14-A state oil mo- nopoly which would drive Ameri- can and other foreign companies from the French market is being studied by committee of the Chamber of Deputies, to which it was referred after a stiff debate eliminating in a vote of confidence in the Daladier government.
 The monopoly, proposed by the socialist party, would place all inn portation and refining of oil and distribution of gasoline in the hands of the government.
 American Share Shrinks
 Until 1881 a half-dozen American companies furnished France with more than half of all the petroleum products she imported. This busi- ness amounted to about $62 2,680, 900 in 1930-a large slice of the total American trade with France.
 Since then France has been buy ing greater quantities from Russia and Rumania and Americas share diminished from 53 per cent in 1880 to 36 per cent in 1892.
 Oil is not produced in France and since the war successive gov ernments have sought to free the country from complete dependence np foraiCn cCrrcoc
 Opponents Decry Monopoly
 Foreign companies do business under licenses granted in 1928 for 20 year periods On the basis of these long-term permits, costly es- tablishments have been built.
 This fact was evoked in chamber debate by adversaries of the mon- opoly who claimed that indemni- ties to America and other con- panies, in case the licenses were revoked, would be costly to the state.
 They also said that 100000 men would be put on the state pay roll by such a monopoly.
 The committee indicated it would study the question at considerable length before bringing in report.

of course, is not concerned with gold mining as such when it recom- mends a higher price for gold, but believes in that manner prosperity will be restored.
 How depreciation and the gold embargo have reacted to the dis advantage of gold mining will be realized by the fact that on May 15 it required 118-plus U. s. dol- lars to buy the legal gold content of $1O0.
 The President now has it in his power to reduce the dollars gold content up to 50 per cent, which would automatically increase the gold price and serve as spur to the industry concerned with min ing the metal.

A powerful organization In the movement to devaluate the dollar is the Committee for the Nation, a body composed of leading business men. To achieve this end, it would follow substantially the same meth cd recently approved by resolu- tion passed by the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce. The Com mittee for the Nation recommends that gold be repriced at $3617 an ounce. By virtue of legislation passed by the present Congress the President is empowered to take such action, one immediate effect of which undoubtedly would be a vast acceleration in gold mining in Alaska and elsewhere. On the di- recting committee of the Com mittee for the Nation are J. H. Rand, Jr., head of Remington Rand, Inc, Frederic H. Frazier, I chairman of the General Banking Company, Vincent Bendix, presi- dent of the Bendix Aviation Corp, Lessing J. Rossnwald, chairman of Sears, Roebuck and Co.,, and F. H. Sexauer, president of the Dairy mans League Cooperative Associa- tion Inc.
 One of the objects of inflation- higher commodity prices-can not but work injury to the gold min- ing industry. The limited extent to which imitation has now been carried has brought about higher prices and gold miners, with the price for their product stationary, are directly affected. The embargo on gold prevents a free market in the metal, which would have the effect of raising the price substan- italy now that the dollar is de- preciated.
