President Roosevelt has ap-
proved one important code, and
is expected to approve today the
codes for the construction indus
try, the newspaper publishers, and
the graphic arts industry, Recov.
cry Administrator Hugh S. John
son announced at press confer.
ence.
The code already approved is
that for the rubber tire industry,
After approving the code, the
President, in an Executive orders
directed the Federal Trade Con1i
mission to investigate unfair trade
practices in the industry, and
make a full report to him through
johnson within 80 days.
100000 Affected
The master construction code
will affect more than 100000
workers directly concerned with
either building or with the pro-
duction Of building materials.
The code has been delayed for
several months by the bitter OPP
position Of the build trades divi-
sion of the American Federation
Of Labor, which demanded that
minimum wages for all types Of.
skilled labor be included in the
wage provisions. A compromise
on the subject was reached only
after reconvention of the public
hearings and appointment Of q
special committee to iron out
disagreementS.
Freedom Guaranteed
johnson said the newspaper
publishers code contained pro-
visions guaranteeing freedom
of the press" He added:
eff that means anything"
The graphic arts code also
applies to certain smaller news
paper publishers, who desire to
come under that code in preferv
ence to the code submitted by
the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association. johnson had
held up the newspaper publishers
code in order to make certain
provisions in the graphic arts
code identical with those in the
main newspaper code.
The rubber tire code sets a SO.
hour week for factory employees
and 40-hour week for clerical
employees receiving $35 a week or
less. Minimum wage was set at
40 cents an hour. unless the mini
mum was below that in 1929 when
35-cent minimum will be set.
Minimum wages for salaried ern.
ployes range from 81 to $1S
weekly on a population basis.
Women are to get equal pay for
equal work.

DEATHS IN CUBA
STIR SPAIN

MADRID, Dec. % QN.S).
The grave situation regarding
Spaniards in Cuba was to be
taken up by the Spanish Cabinet
today.
Four Spaniards were killed in
Cuba during labor disturbances
of the past few days, held to be
largely the result Of a new law
favoring native Cuban labor.
The government was expected
to act along the lines recently
mentioned by the foreign minister,
who said that in case the safety
Of Spaniards in Cuba were en-
dangered, he would not appeal
to the United States, but instead
would ask the Cuban government
to exert it's utmost effort for the
protection Of Spanish nationals.

CWA CURTA|LS
STATE QUOTAS
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Curtailment of CWA quotas will
be necessary in States that have
exceeded their allotment of work
ers in order to average this en-
ployment evenly among the
States, Harry L. Hopkins, Federal
Relief Administrator, said today.
There are only two States,
which he did not name, where the
CWA quotas have not been filled,
and the following States have ex-
ceeded their quotas in varying
amounts: Wisconsin, Ohio and
Indiana. Neither Ohio, with an
approximate 4,5O0 workers over,
nor Indiana, with $500 to 10000
over, are causing him much con-
Germ, Hopkins said.
In States like Wisconsin, where
there is a considerable excess of
workers over the allowed quotas,
adjustments will be made by a
policy of no-replacement when
workers drop out for any cause.
In Hopkins opinion this is the
most painless" way to evenly av.
erage CWA employment through
out the country.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. % G.N.S0
At the height of the busy Christ
mas season, this city today was
gripped by a general strike Of
more than $4,000 truck drivers.
Strikers were picketing car
barns, attempting to persuade
trolley men to join the walkout.
Minor disturbances followed the
strike call, which became effec-
tive last night.
The strike resulted directly from
resentment of the drivers over re-
fusal of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company to recognize an
edict by the National Labor Board
for settling the turbulent taxicab
strikes.
The P. r. T. also operates troll
ley and subway lines here.
Arrangements were made by
strike leaders to continue deliver
les of necessities to hospitals and

The Guardian Detroit Union
Group forced an unwise dividend
policy" on the Union Guardian
Trust Co., Of Detroit, one of its
unit banks, John N. Stalker, De,
troit banker, testified today at the
Senate banking inquiry.
Stalker protested in June, 1890
against request from the groups
officials for his bank to pay a
per cent quarterly dividend. At
first the board of directors of his
bank voted only the regular 4 per
cent dividend, he added, but later
the other / per cent was paid
after second request from group
officials.
Used Undivided Profits
Stalker said the bank had been
forced to use undivided profits to
pay the extra l per cent. He de-
clared his conservative training"
objected to such banking meth
ods. He added:
II believed we should be build
Ing up reserves more than we
were at that time"
Ferdinand Pecora, Senate coun.
sci, said:
But I see you didn't build up
any reserves at that time"
mo, not in the first half Of
$780,"
"And you thought that was
IN unwise pOlicy?"
81 did"
Sees Evils in System
Stalker rather surprised the
Senate committee by confesSing
there were "evils' in the group
system of banking, which was
practiced by the guardian group
in Michigan.
@. What are the evils in
group banking?
A. Chiefly this. While / think
the failure Of any unit is less
likely with the strength Of the
entire group behind each unit,
If the failure does occur, the ef.
feet is more disastrous.
@. Because the failure may
spread to other units?
A. There is always that dan
ger.
Pecora spread on the records a
series of letters between Stalker
and Robert o. Lord, president OF
the Guardian group. The letters
showed Stalker favored 4 per
cent dividend for the Union
Guardian Trust Company in June,
1880, because the earnings just
about covered that amount. Lord,
however, urged a S per cent divi'
dend, which was paid.

The officer continued his walk to
the next corner and on his way
back, imagine his surprise when he
was confronted by the man he had
just pacified, swinging a chair and
hurting challenges to any and all
within reach Of his voice. No one
was barred, nor did race, religion
or politics make much difference.
Just a bit of a scrap, that was all
he wanted. This was carrying things
too far so the officer brought the
would-be pugilist in, booked him
and gave him nice soft bunk in
the city Jail where he could fight
to his hearts content-in his slum-
bers.
