The Steel Code

The code for the steel industry. now un- der consideration by MIRA. had been well received by the public, duplicating and even surpsssing the welcome given the cotton code. It is of vast importance in itself. and in the example it sets, because of the size and power of this industry. When steel comes 90 readily into the general recovery scheme. other industries. large and small. naturally have less reluctance. It promises the early employment, directly and indi- rectly. of 1.750,000 more men.
 Perhaps the most notable feature of this code, all things considered, IS its. working limit of 40 hours a week. based on half year averages. This is a little longer than the week may be for most industries. but for steel it represents remarkable concession. Many can remember when hundreds of thousands of men in this industry had a seven-day working week of more than twice d many hours. For most of those now in the furnaces and mills. five eight-hour days . week. or the equivalent. will mean con siderable gain of ease and leisure.
 The universal right.to organize IS another notable gain. for an industry. heretofore. mainly open shop. though there is still some disagreement about the type or organization known as the company union. The abo- ition of Pittsburgh plus freight charges a belated recognition of the rights of other steel centers and marketing areas. The iron hand under the governments glove may be seen in the penalty prescribed for violations of the code. A fine of $l0 ton on steel produced under forbidden conditions should soon bring any offender to terms.

AN OLD PAPER (Hartford Courant)

The American Museum Of Natu- rai history In New York recently had occasion to repair stuffed seab and found in its contents inter- esting. A part of the "stuffing' was n copy of the Rochester, N. Y. Trubune, for March 1, 1879. The museum staff found that taxidem- ists of more than 60 years ago res sorted to the use of straw and pa- per; their successors of today use paper mache and wire netting.
 The Rochester Tribune, which went the way of all flesh years ago, told its readers on tho day in question that President Hayei would call an extraordinary session of congress, that Joseph H. Choate and other New Workers were head inE c drive to improve tenement housing in their city and that New York Central stock closed at 116, which was better than its closing figure on Thursday last, that being 57 5-S. For all that, the New York Central is . fairly useful railway today, and one wishes that some of those readers to 1879, then get ting on in years, could note the speed at which trains now oper- ate on 1t.
 Those readers would have . task in orienting themselves if they could Do revived for . few days. They would note business men iri the dumps because of financial con- ditions and would say that we knew nothing of hard times, adding that they themselves were accustomed to paper money. even to the point of fractional currency, Now that silver was coming back, they felt that the country was progressing However, no one could say what those fire- -eating democrats in tho south might do. Neither Tilden noi Grant were presidential candidates and the political editors of tht Rochester Tribune could see nc farther into the future than car political editors of today for thej had not even considered Genera Garfield of ohio. For that matter they did not mention General Han. cock of their own state, who wal | the democratic nominee destined tf defeat because he said, what wal true, that the tariff was . loca
 issue.
 one wishes that the Museum Q, Natural history had given mor' extracts from the Rochester Tri
 bune. If its editors, now where Al good editors so, feel that we ar' amusing ourselves ct their expense we beg to assure thAn that "! have no such motive. We know al too well how our own nle for 1eS' | will look 50 years hence, # t hold

Our Daily Washington Letter
Falling Dollar and Pay Cuts Hit Diplomats
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

farm products are worked out un- der the Agricultural Adjustment act may be gathered from Q rough description of the figures used in computing the process tax of 4.2 cents Q pound on cotton. .
 The object is to restore pre-war parity between prices of what the farmer sells and what he buys. Cotton was selling at 12.4 cents q pound in the prescribed five-year pre-war period and the index for June on prices of things the farm CT buys was 105 per cent as com pared with that period.
 So. 103 per cent of 12.4 was about 12.7 cents and the difference between that and the average cot ton price of 8.6 cents prevailing in June was 4.2 cents--the amount of the process tax.
 John Erlbach, photographer for the geographical survey. has re- tired at the age of 70 with the un- 0fficiai title of Uncle Sans "heaithiest efnploye." He worked ~ years without taking single day off for illness.
 Former Governor Theodore Bilbo of Mississippi. appointed to collect newspaper and magazine clippings on the agricultural ad- 1ustment act, has complained about his small cubbyhole .ofiice and may be given q larger ofiice with rug.
 Bilbo's job became extra heavy after newspapers published widely some of the remarkable interviews he gave when correspondents first discovered him.

Washington - Depreciation of tho dollar doesn't mean much to most of us, but our diplomats and consuls are taking 1t on the nose.
 Several rcsignations already have been reccived--though the State
 Several resignations already have been received---th0ugh the state department won't admit 1t--- from members of the foreign serv- ice who can't stand the gaff.
 The general effect on the present exchange situation is to make the service more than ever rich boys playground and freeze out those career men who haven't an outside income.
 The consular service is hardest hit. Some of them have experi- enced q 6S per cent reduction of income as compared with last year.
 Those who live outside embassies l and legations receive up to 3720 q year for rent--minus c 16 per cent cut in addition to q similar cut on their salaries and the effect of at least 90 per cent decline in tho value of the dollar abroad.
 Foreign service men receive from $2,500 to 5000 q year, min istcrs 310,000 and ambassadors $17,500--all minus the 16 per cent The average income decline seems to be about 60 per cent. It's es- pccially tough on our representa- tives who have leases on houses.
 Nothing can be done about 1t, short of an act of conErcss--six months hence. Meanwhile. every chief of mission is worrying Wash- ingtOn about the situation and many subordinates who aren't re- signing are digging deep into their pockets.
 Unions May Seek Funds
 Conservative leaders of tho Am erican Federation of Labor are under pressure from those who urge them to take full advantage of the collective bargaining pro- visions of tho National Recovery act by imposing q percapita tax on their 2,500,0OO members in order to finance huge union organfz- ation campaign.
 They have expressed doubts as to their ability to collect such . tax and to operate such big pro- gram, but there's fair chance that they may come ot 1t. The ob- yious intent of many large er1- ployerg---e -exampied by those of the steel industry--to preserve open shops and company unions is ( spurring force.

New Haven, Feb 10--Confronted with two tough games over tho weekend, namely the Boston BruIn Cubs of tho Hub City to- morrow night and the Providence Reds ut the Now Haven Arena on Sunday, the Eagles under Manager Coach Eddie Powers open their practice sessions for tho week most seriously in order that they might take over the second and third plnce clubs of tho Can-Am league.
 During the pnst few days, Pow CTS has revised the llncupB consld- crably 20 that he might bring out tho full strength of tho club, both olfcnalVcly and defGnsiVely.

 Tho latest team to como forth with statements that they don't sec how tho Cadets could or can ciaIm' tho junior city championship ia the central Y Juniors through their pilot, MT Dnly.
 Some Of the statements made by the central Y manager in his piece last evening have proven to be false, such as his saying that tho Cadets claim tho junior city GhHm- pIonshlp. l wIsh to inform Mr Dnly that the Cadets did not claim that they won tho city Junior championship last year or have we claimed it so far this season, Thla bnllyhooing about ua claiming any city championship was started by tho north end ' Juniors whom wo boat and has been carried on un- tll now. l HlaO challenge Mr DAIy'H statement to tho effect that the Cadets would not play his team unless they were given h guhrHn- tee, this also proves to bc another of Mr Dnly'B fnlse statements.
