PHARMACIST
SEEK CODE To
GUT HOURS
D. C. Group Declares Long
Work Day MenaCes Health Of
Themselves and Public

Aggrieved at the long hours and
small pay for registered pharma-
cists, a large body of Washington
pharmacists tonight will meet in
an effort to draft a code of fair
practices for the drug industry.
The meeting will be held at
1870 p. m. in the Young Mems
Christian Association Building,
1876 G st. N. w., and it is expected
to draw some 600 "employe phar-
macistS."
Drug Code ExemptS Them
Under code now before the
NRA, hours of labor would be re-
duced for drug clerks, but the
pharmacists, being professional
men, are exempted.
The local pharmacists, in CO.
operation with similar groups
throughout the country, have
organized themselves into an aSso'
citation known as the Pharmacists
Society of the District Of Colum-
bia and as such will appeal for
NRA benefits.
Under present conditions, phar'
macists work between so and 80
hours a week. They want their
hours limited to 40 to As hours a
week.
Harm to Public Seen
In statement calling the meet
ing, the society states:
"SkiIled workmanship, pro-
fessiOnal or craft, can not be
accurate if the individual is
required to work 10 or IL hours
day. The cOmpOunding of
prescriptions and dispensing of
drugs is the important health
service that we are able to rem
der the public by virtue of our
educational qualifications"
They continue that working 10
or IL hours a day is strain on
their own health which in turn
is detrimental to the public
which depends on them for their
health.

NORRIS PLACING SNAKES IN CAGE

Thirteen of the most vicious
snakes in the world writhed and
wriggled in their new quarters
at the Zoo today, while attend
ants who placed them in their
quarters breathed sighs of relief.
The snakes are Green Mambas,
considered the most deadly in the
world. One of the Mamba's de-
lights is to coil up in a tree and
take bite at an innocent passer-
by, and that bite spells sudden
death.
These snakes also can spit poi

order of the day when the rep

feet long, the reptiles are very
slender and very pretty. A num-
ber of other African snakes were
received with the MambaS.

D. c. MILK CODE
To GET QUICK
HEARING
Farm Adjustment Unit to Hear
All Parties and Enforce Rules
Against Everyone

If the agreement being formed
by the Maryland Virginia Milk
Producers Association and a group
of local distributors is submitted
to the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration, it will be cordially
received and promptly given a
public hearing, it was learned to-
day.
All factions in the local milk
situation would be invited to the
hearing, and given an opportunity
to present amendments to the
proposed code, or otherwise eX-
press their views. After the hear
ing, however, if the code is put
into operation it would be applied
strictly against every farmer and
distributor in the region, it was
said.
Would Cover Independents
This was taken as an indica.
ton that if the new organization
Of independent distributors here,
formed of companies not CO.
operating in the proposed code,
does not favor the action its only
opportunity of modifying the
agreement would be before it is
put into operation.
1t was expressly stated by
officials of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration that
no individual firm or minor
group of firms would be permitted
to violate a code once it is
approved, whether or not the out
Siders had agreed to it in the
first place.
Price Cuts COmbatted
This disclosure followed the
revelation today by Elwood H.
Seal, counsel for the Senate COM
mittee investigating the local
milk situation, that he had been
told that milk producers CO
operative organizations in the
Washington and Baltimore milk
sheds were formed into the
Eastern States Marketing Asso-
citation because of fear that the
National Dairy Products Corpora
ton would force decreases in
prices to be paid to farmers.
In spite of this, the Maryland;
Virginia Milk Producers Associa-
ton is cooperating with several
subsidiaries of National Diaries in
the proposed milk agreement for
this district, and the distributors
who have formed the Independent
Milk Distributors Association, not
cooperating in the code, have no
connection with National Diaries.

men robbed two banks in Cullom stimuli
taneously today, shot and wounded two
residents, and sped away with 5000 in

pistol and shotgun fire.
From one bank the robbers kidnapped
two employees, marched them across
street guarded by vigilantes, and es-
caped unhurt. The bank employees were
released few miles from town.

The robbers travelled in two automo-

of town under guard. The others rode
into town in the second car.

simultaneously, three of them walked
into the First National Bank while the
other three entered the Farmers State
Bank.
In the First National the robbers
forced the cashier, w. j. Kiley, and his
assistant. j. w. Sherer, to lie on the
floor while they snatched up between
81. 500 and $4,000.
But the other gang worked more rap
idlv. They lined Cashier John D. Ra-
boin. his son Howard, also an employe
of the bank, and two patrons up against
the wall. They left more quickly than
their companions in the National Bank,
taking about the same amount OF loot.
The alarm sounded as the ROBBERS
left the State bank. Vigilantes rushed
from shops, stores and offices with
rifles and pistols. They began firing
and the three robbers fed, deserting
those in the other bank.
The robbers came to the door OF the
First National and saw their automo-
bile speeding away. They went back
inside as the vigilantes surrounded the
place.
When the robbers from the national
bank reappeared they marched Kiley
and Scherer before them. IF you fire
