JOHNSON PLANNING
NO Limit TO WAGES
UNDER NEW SE7-Up
Points Out Minimum on Wheat
Became Maximum and
Farmers Still Protest

Washington, June 2l.-P-The
government is going to do everything
possible to prevent trade agreements
made under the national recovery act
from limiting top wages.
Hugh s. Johnson, administrator of
the law, is anxious to have all indus
try accept codes of fair competition
fixing minimum wages. But If he can
help it organized labor's recurring
contention that minimum wages often
become maximums will not be borne
out this time.
He summed up his reaction to that
argument in this sentence:
There was a minimum wheat price
during the war that became the maxi
mum, and the farmers haven't gotten
over that yet"
He added he would fight any at
tempt to repeat the war time wheat
price mistake.
He is willing for other industries to
follow the cotton textile trade and
fix minimums that vary with locali-
ties. The cotton code, to, be opened
to public hearing next Tuesday, sets
SO minimum for southern and an
I'll minimum weekly wage for north
ern workers.
There are differences in living
COSTS" he said. In the common labor
rate between Moline and Chicago
there is difference Of about Z cents. .
Industry. he said, Is responding
favorably to requests for speed In the
presentation of agreements for, ap-
prevail by the federal government.

Forest Conservation Plan Wins
Favor With Leaders Of Nation

The nub Of this plan is that
the government should set up a
forest recovery administration to
control both the volume Of tim
Der production and the methods
Of forest exploitation" for the
3oo,ooo,0oo acres Of privately
owned forest.
In return for "abolishing de-
structive logging, the government
would render every legitimate aid
in assisting the forest industries
to their feet" Shepard says.
Federal assistance, under Shep-
ards plan, would include estab-
lishment Of banks to aid the
forest industry only; increased
fire protection aid for all prop
erly managed" forests; construc-
ton of additional roads,, and
assistance In q campaign to re-
model state laws 50 as to reduce
tax burdens

Secretary Wallace Tells MiIIers
Drastic Action May Be-

Chicago, June 21.-(P)-1t is con-
ceivable, Secretary OF Agriculture
Henry A. Wallace told the Millers' ma
tional federation Wednesday, that the
United States may resort to dump
ing" its wheat surplus on the world
market If other wheat producing ma
tions do not see the light"
The secretary, In an extemporaneous
talk, discussed the problem of wheat
acreage reduction before the annual
convention of the federation, which
represents 80 per cent of the milling
trade of the United States.
"You know" the secretary said,
that il the hot weather in the Dako-
tas and Montana continues, in addi-
ton to the loss of much of the WIN
ter wheat crop In the southwest, 1t is
probable that we will have the small
est total wheat crop in generation
this year, and many of you will ask,
why worry about a surplus?'
Problem Goes Deep
"The problem Is deeper than that,
however. We still have our $50, 000, 900
bushel carryover July and we can
not count on bad weather and q small
crop two years in succession, so that,
with prices on the upward trend, you
know that next years winter wheat
crop may be SO large that the $780,
100000 or even possibly 100000, 900
bushel crop will not to be too much
to expect next year.
I'VE know of no market for the
more than 200 1000 900 bushel addition
al surplus that would result from such
crop.
For that reason we are exceeding
