William NICK. Clayton, chairman
of the public utilities committee
of the Federation of Citizens AS

Speaking before the Columbia

Clayton blamed the alleged poor
service on the companies failure
to live up to their charters.
He said that because the COM
panies have not allowed for de-
probation, 26-year-old cars will

RETAILERS ARE
WARNED MOTTO
VIOLATE CODE

NEW YORK.-Retailers Of New
York City were warned by Grover
Whalen, local NRA chairman, that
violations of the NRA retail code "are
severely punishable" Speaking at a
dinner in his honor by the Retail
Stores Executives Association, he ex-
planned that the retail code authority
will not be "a prosecuting agency"
and that "our primary concern is COM
p~liance, not conviction. He added:
AT the same time / want the re-
tailers of the city to know that we
will countenance no wilful violation of
the code. Anybody who violates the
code is committing a crime against
the retail business and against the
people of the United States. Need
l add that violations are severely pun
ishable ?"
Taking a vigorous slam at profit
GERS who attempt to cloak the anti
social activities behind the Blue Eagle
insignia, he said:
81 suppose the chiselers, like other
violators of the law, will always be
with us. And | am glad that General
Hugh S. johnson is going after them.
| know that the General in that Gus

famous, is going to take for a ride

minimum wage, reduced in many in
stances to nearly nothing by deduction
for tips, urged by the restaurant own
ers, Mr.. Flore recommended the A
hour week, the 8-hour day and a SIS
weekly minimum wage.
Doomed to Starve
Condemning in strong language
both the 54-hour week and the restau-
rant owners demand that restaurant
employees "be paid as little as S4.86 by
the employer, the remainder of the So
called 1912 basic wage to be solicited
by the employee in tips" Mr.. Flore
declared that the proposals in the code
betray IAN almost uncivilized attitude
toward employees on the part of en-
ployers and a total misconception up
on the part of Administrators of their
duty and their obligation in rescuing
the nation from the degradation of
starvation and unemployment"
He insisted that the S9.72 minimum
really that restaurant employees
and their families are doomed to star
walton, adding: "Surely it is not going
to be ~contended that this industry has
a right to condemn its workers to Gel
ibacy through the imposition of a
wage that makes anything else impos-
siblei"
An Affront to the NRA
at is our contention that the code
as submitted by the restaurant indus
try is unworthy of serious considera-
ton by any agency representing the
dignity of the United States Govern
ment and that no such agency ought
to entertain for a moment proposals
which so grossly affront the very pur-
pose Of the Government and particu-
larly the purpose of the Government
exemplified in the National Recovery

ASKS FOR EAST
WEST AIR ROUTE

At the request Of the Labor Dele
gates to the Labor-Employers Coop
erative Council, the Central Council
wired Senator Wheeler and Congress
mar Monaghan to the effect that they
should do all in their power to bring
the East-West Air Route, from st.
Paul to Seattle, through Butte. Hell
ena is working hard to get it routed
through that city. Butte is a more
logical route, due to the amount OF
business done by air in Butte. Money
has already been allowed for the pro
iect and route alone remains to be
decided upon. Routing it through
Butte would mean the employment Of
200 mechanics besides an extensive
amount of construction work.

President of Restaurant Employees Union Maintains That
BY the Provision for "Gratuities' the Restaurant Owners

WASHINGTON - The indecently
low minimum weekly wage of S9.72
for a 54-hour week which the National
Restaurant Association seeks to fas-
ten upon the restaurant workers by
means of the proposed fair practice
code is a "palpable fraud" and "unwor-

The Continental Oil Co. and the

These men, during the winter months

This means an increase of from $50

The Community Gas Station signed
a like agreement. These Companies

Craftsmen are unemployed. Our pre-

leaving the Federated Press after IA
years of service as its Washington
correspondent, in order to report to
the press of the Soviet Union, some
part of the meaning of passing events
in the United States, it is natural that
| should wish to say farewell.
What to say, what to omit, in this
precious final space? The suggestion
comes that | merely do a days work
by explaining the class conflict in
volved in any change of monetary
standards. A vast majority of Amer
lean farmers and wage and salary
workers, having debts to pay, would
temporarily gain by initiation; yet
workers are so poorly organized, and
so little safeguarded by NRA mach
inery, that they are unable to force
their wage rates upward as fast as
living costs rise during initiation. This
latest struggle over monetary infla-
ton is only a symbol of the confu-
sion which marks the breakdown Of
the capitalist economic order. No
degree of initiation is going to give
security of employment at a comfort
wage to the millions of workers who
still are unemployed and destitute.
Ownership of their fair share in the
national income is the only actual Sc
curity in modern economic life. Get
ting that ownership, which implies
social ownership, is the actual prob
lem before readers of the Federated
Press. 1t seems to me the only SER
ious business before this generation

GOLD CLAUSE LAW
Approves Measure Providing
For Bond Payments in
Legal Tender Notes

President Roosevelt Monday night
signed the resolution voiding the
gold clause" written In billions Of
government securities and more bill
lions OF private bonds and mortgages.
It had been adopted by the house ana
senate within scant 10 days OF the
time 1t was submitted to them, un-
heralded by previous announcement.
Since gold has been unavailable
since March for any payments, pub
lie or private, the new law makes no
