Washington. .-(UP)-A code of fair practices-the phrase is on the tip of every tongue theso days.
 Every citizen knows that code Is calculated to put people back to work, to raise wages. He also vaguely knows that every code contains wordy provisions about minimum wages" wage diiferen- tials," and "hours of labor" He Is more than vague in his knowl- edge of how code Is prepared and put intoaction.
 Long Journey
 Tn its long Journey through the governmental Recovery mill every code passes through ten distinct stages:
 1. First of all the trade group meets to consider what shall be the provisions of the proposed code as to hours, wages, and conditions Of labor. and as to fair practices. The group may draw up one code for the entire industry, or may prepare one for each of its divi-
 ?. Before forwarding the code to Washington tho trade group must apply Tor permission to do so, This permission is granted if the group can show that 1t is truly rep resentative of the industry, that it imposes no undue restrictions as to membership, and that its code is not calculated to promote monop. oly. .
 Code Clearing House
 3. The code. forwarded to the SRA, is turned over to a control division. This is sort of clearing house through which contacts are maintained between industry and the NRA.
 {. Economic, technical. and legal analyses are made of tho code by the Code Analysis Division. Hero 1t is studied to see that 1t conforms with tho National Indus. trial Recovery Act. Preliminary revislons are made here. if neces- sary.
 6. The coda Is assigned to a deputy administrator. This dep. uty handles the code through the heraings to final approval. There

 6. Conferences are held by the deputy with representatives of the trade group. Differences between members of tho industry are ironed out. At this point authoritative in- formation and statistics arc pro. vided by a reasearch and planning division, and legal advice Is sup- piled by a legal division.

Chicagoans Lack Interest
 In Century of Progress

Chicago, (UP)-Persons outside Chicago are more interested and excited about Chicago tooth birth- day than Chicago itself. Century of Progress officials believe.
 Most Chicagoans with whom [ have talked" said Major Lennox R. Lohr, general manager of the exposition, "are greatly impressed by it--but they always say to me: This is a great show of yours. They never say: This is great show of ours
 "The reason for this attitude, as I see 1t, is that they feel that they were not sufficiently confi- dent regarding the ultimate suc- cess of the fair.

 5. Hemorrhagic areas beneath Mrs Lamson's scalp showed her hair had been Jerked violently. These areas could have resulted if a murderer held her tightly by the hair as he beat her head with the pipe.
 Dr Proescher testified in gutter al, Teutonic accents that they found traces of blood on the pipe and on fragments of rags raked from a bonfire in the Lamson back yard.
 The defense will place Dr Ed ward o. Heinrich. Berkeley, on the stand to assert that his tests did not reveal blood on pipe or rags.

Washington, September 1-(UP) - Preparation and distribution of press releases = mimeographed and printed material for circula- ton among newspaper and busi- ness offices - occupy the time of from one to a dozen persons in every government department.
 The MIRA has 12 busy writers as- signed to the job of keeping the country informed on the codifica- ton of industry. They are not awed by the solemnity of the la- bors imposed upon them.

 Dr Meyer advanced the follow ing points, as Lamson sat rigid with eyes downcast:
 1. The fractures of Mrs Lam- sons skull were caused by blows and could have been inflicted by the pipe presented in evidence.
 2. A child of IA could have crushed her skull with the 10-inch pipe, (The defense contends that Jamson's strength was insufficient for such blows.)
 8. Her wounds could not have been suffered in "a single fall in her bathtub. At least two falls would have been necessary to cause the fractures.

Country Backs the President

President Roosevelt warns capital and labor
that industrial troubles must be thrust into the
background until the var against depression is won.
The country al large will support him in that stand.
The war against depression" Is an alI-embrac-
ing term. In q few words il tells the story of these
stirring times. indicates fhe stake involved and chal-
lenges the nations patriotism.
That war is actually on. II lacks many Of the
spectacular elements of the var. but it il not without
Its stirring drama. Some day the war against de-
preston. will be Won. Both capital and labor viii
profit BY it. Capital today ztubbornly and resource
fully resisis what il believes 70 be encroachments
on its one time rights as they we're rather selfisnly
Interpreted. Labor. after four lean years. has quite
naturally developed distraction. Its organizations,
too. have been the objective of the efforts of revolu-
tionary sgitarors Kho find in its present condition
a great opportunity and seek 70 make the most OF
1t. The fact they hare had % little success is worthy
of note.
The issue between the two groups must be
fought out. Quite probably there will be hIoodshed
and wide Disturbances. Then viii rome sober second
thought and finally realization that this is the day
of give and take. There will be gradual compromises
and out Of them will come = better order. 1t will be
less selfish. 1t will look into the future with longer
vision. II will bring a better world.
Of the two groups now emba tiled and flying at
one another's throats in the industrial field. the
public sympathy will quickly. for the most part. ar
ray itself with labor Labor has aIxays had to fight
for what it has achieved in the way OF better eondf-
tions for its toiiing thousands. But 1t has gradually
become the beneficiary of 4 more understanding at
titude on the part of the public. Arbitration OF its
disputes with capital have accomplished much. 1t has
for the most part capable leadership. That leadership
is on trial today and on the whole is meeting the
test most satisfactorily.
Meantime the business OF the whole country to-
day Is to build d new and better social system thru
unity OF effort. Strikes and loekouts only add to the
sum total of the human misery Of these times or
Embellishments. TheY are selfish and shorfsighted.
They can not long be tolerated. The presidential note
OF warning is significant. since behind 1t Il the force
Of a public sentiment 80 clearly Indicated that tt
may not be questioned The public Is impatient with
the eesturing OF selfish and short-sfrhted ~asitators-
II seeks constructive Leadership IL il impatient
with rabble rousers. They are beginning TO appear
in every field OF human endeavor. One OF the great
est OF them is the president himself. The times are
nending, slowly but they are mending. The country
Is headed toward better things. a new and more Ifb-
eral social order and quite probably to greater and
more assured prosperity than it has ever known.
