LOS ANGELES, July Is. ;U.P} -
A joint committee of commercial
fishing representatives and South
ern California sportSmen today
sought to break an impaSSe reached
at a conference which had been
designed to propose an amendment
to state bill No. Asa, imposing a
closed season on yellowtail, sea bass
and barracuda.
The conference before the state
fish and game commission proved
fruitlesS when commercial and
sporting factions were unable to
agree on proposed changes. The
sportsmen aimed their fight prin-
cipally at closing Catalina Island
waters to all commercial fishing.
j. Dale Gentry, commission
chairman, moved to break the dead
lock by delegating committee OF
four commercial representatives and
three representatives of the sports
mems group. The latter group was
represented by Andrew Martin,
president, and Ralph Bandini, vice.
president of the Tuna club; and
Charleton Ames, secretary of the
California state fish and game de-

interested were represented by r.

LOS ANGELES, July Is. U.P)-
The tuna fisheries of Southern
California demanded of the federal
government today protection from
foreign competition as packers
adopted a code of ethics under the
industrial recovery act.
The code provides for a 40-hour
work week and a minimum hourly
wage of 80 cents for unskilled wo-
men Gamers and 40 cents for un-
skilled men. The Gamers asked,
however, for grace from the maxi
mum work week during peak per-
iods, to prevent damage to perish
able products.
In adopting the code, represen-
tatives said the new minimum wage
makes federal protection doubly
imperative to safeguard their in
terestS from cheap foreign products.
The pact was sent to Washington
for approval.
More than two-thirds of the Tuna
industry participated in the agree
ment, it was said. Signers included
the Coast Fishing company, Will

THREE HURT.
IN CAR CRASH

Two men are in a serious con-
dition and third badly injured as
the result of an automobile accident
which occurred late last night about
nine miles south of the county line
on highway No. 80.
Fidencio Uriquiz, of Indio, and
Rafael Moro, address unknown, are
the two who are so badly injured
that little hope is held out for their
recovery at the hospital in Ildio
where they were taken after the
crash. Joe Escoto, Coachella, is the
third member of the party whose
injuries are not expected to prove
fatal.
According to the report made by
the traffic officer who investigated
the accident, Escoto was driving a
Ford roadster with the other two
men as passengers and ran into the
rear end of a truck parked at the
side of the highway due to tire
trouble.
So terrific was the impact of the
collision that Urquizs head was
split open and Moro's face was
terribly mangled. Both these men
were thrown through the wind
shield of their car, striking their
heads against the back of the truck.
The driver of the truck could not
be located by the officer making
the investigation.

LONDON, July Is. W.H = The

Delegates were said to feel that
to fix a specific date for reassem-

1t had been said previously that

had asked President Roosevelt for
rush instructions whether he in

WASHINGTON, July Is. = Stra-
tegy of the national administration
in enlisting the entire country in
the fight for recovery was disclosed
today TO follow the war time scheme
of propaganda and action. Already
it is showing results.
The moves in this gigantic un-
dertaking are shaping up into three
main activities:
l. Encouragement of basic indus
tries and others to submit codes OF
fair competition as quickly as pos
Sible.
2. A campaign patterned after
the Liberty loan drives to arouse
public sympathy and support. The
zero hour" for the beginning OF
this drive is set for August l, when
speakers all over the country are
expected to begin driving home the
detectives and benefits of the re-
covery act. President Roosevelt may
inaugurate the drive with ma
tion-wide appeal.
3. A call for a volunteer move
ment throughout industry to in
crease wages Immediately and short
en- the working week. The object
i've is a quick upward surge in pur-
chasing power pending completion
of individual codes.
President Roosevelt is studying
the possibility of attempting to i'm
pose a single uniform and compul-
sorry code on all industry to force
into line those who will not COOP
crate voluntarily. A 35 hour week
and $14 minimum wage for labor
and a 40 hour week and Sis mini
mum for white collar classes are
being considered as the standard
for the whole country until sepa-
rate codes are completed.
It is questionable, however, thai
the law would permit the President
TO force all of industry under q
single code. administrator Hugh
Johnson will report to Mr.. Roose-
yelt on this question at confer
ence aboard the yacht Sequoia IN
Chesapeake bay tomorrow. john
son has been working chiefly along
the line of bringing all industry in
to a speedy voluntary agreement.

STEEL CODE
SUBMITTED
Provides For Elimination OF
Child Labor And For Higher
Wages.

WASHINGTON, July Is. Up1-
A code of fair competition for the
iron and steel industry, proposing
a 40-hour week, elimination of child
labor and minimum pay of rs to
40 cents an hour, was submitted to-
day to the national industrial re-
covery administration.
The code, presented by Robert P.
Lamont, president of the Iron and
Steel Institute, proposed Is PEI
cent wage increase for all employ
ees who on July IA were receiving
more than the minimum wage
rates.
Specific minimumS for various
sections of the country were out
lined, ranging from 25 cents per
hour for unskilled labor in the south
to 40 cents an hour for common la
Dor in Pittsburgh, Youngstown
Valley. Cleveland, north Ohio Ri
YER, Detroit Toledo, Colorado and
Chicago districts.
The proposed code, representing
the most vital American industry
to cooperate under the national re-
covery act thus far, had been de-
layed for several weeks because of
a controversy within the industry
over the required provisions recog-
nizing the right of collective bar
gaining.
| AS finally presented the code pro-
posed a labor Set-up through com.
pany elections which would name
representatives to deal with en-
ployerS.
The proposals stipulated that
plans for this employee representa-
ton shall be operated as to insure
to such representatives of the en-
ployees the full protection in the
conscientious representation OF
their constituents.
The 40 hour week would be COM
puted by an average not to exceed
that limit per week in the six
months period. This was to permit
flexible arrangement whereby la
Dor could be used to meet unusual
demands in rush seasons.
The code represents 80 per cent
of the total steel ingot capacity
and rs per cent of all the votes
which might be cast at a meeting
of the industry.
The code must be approved by
President Roosevelt before it be-
comes effective. 1t was anticipated
that protracted hearings would be
necessary.
