A redrafted automobile industry
code probably will be submitted
for approval to President Roose-
velt late next week, 1t was an
nounced today by Col. R. w. Lea
deputy recovery administrator.
Lea said there probably will be
no further public hearings on the
code. He added:
II plan to study all the mate
rial submitted at the hearing,
together with additional briefs
that are being submitted.
DRASTIC CHANGES
can analysis Of the material
will be made and drawn up in
code form for discussion with
General Johnson. When he ap-
proves the redrafted code, 1t
will be taken to President ROOSe-
veIt for study.
"The same procedure will be
followed as in the oil code. The
redrafted automobile code will
be submitted formally to the in
dustry and then to President
Roosevelt for formal approval"
It was indicated the admins

contain the "open-shop" clause

Prospects also were that the
minimum wage and maximum
hour provisions of the code sub

Of the agreement were being met
and also to meet with directors
OF the Iron and Steel Institute to
negotiate the continuance of the
code after the 90-day trial period.
U. S. Holds Trumps
The government held a trump
card over the steel magnates by
being in a position to withhold
purchase of millions of dollars
worth of steel and steel products
necessary for naval building and
other projects from those com
panies that refused to 60 along
under the NRA.
The Government is in the mar
ket, directly or through firms on
government contracts, for steel on
a scale exceeded only in World
War days.
The steel magnates who met
johnson in perfecting the tenn
porary code were William A. Ir-
vim, United States Steel: Eugene

Inland; Thomas Girdler, Repub-

United States Steel, and Hoyt
Moore. counsel for the Steel In
Stitute.
With johnson in the night bat
tie were Donald Richberg, counsel
for the Recovery Administration,
and Deputy Simpson.
Mellon Enlisted
While johnson was seeking an
agreement on major codes, the
NRA gleefully gave publicity to
the enlistment of John D. Rookie
feller, jr., and former Secretary
of the Treasury Andrew Mellon
in the recovery fight.
Rockefeller will speak on a
radio hook-up next Saturday.
Notice was received that the
Mellon banks would come under
the NRA, and the aluminium
industry, in which Mellon is a
powerful figure, presented a code.
Modified blanket codes approved
for industries by Administrator
johnson included the tanners,
fabric auto equipment, comfort
able manufacturers, glass contain
ers, lighting equipment, lace cur
tain, smoking pipe, manufacturing
pharmaceutical and biological,
American spice, safety razor and
blade, dress snap fasteners, scien-
tific apparatus manufacturers,
and the livestock market agencies.
Most Of these agreements, which
are effective pending hearings,
provide for 40-hour work weeks.
Other New Codes
Other new codes proposed COW
cred the cork, tea, and box toe
industries, and distributors of in
dustrial supplies and machinery,
and wholesalers of jewelry, and
watchmakers and jewelry sup
plies.
Most of the copper industry had
agreed to a proposed code for the

panies objected and a conference

contained in an open letter to
President Roosevelt from Luther
c. Steward, president of the
National Federation Of Federal
Employees, published today in the
Federal News, organ OF that
group Of Government workers.
Injustices Charged
The condition is one, Steward
says, which places the Govern
ment in an anamolous position.
He writes:
Large groups Of employees
in the War Department, Navy
Department, Department Of JUS
tice, Department Of Commerce
and elsewhere are being fur
lOughed on Saturdays and a
full days pay is being de-
Quoted.
"The injustice of taking away
from employees a full days pay
for q legally designated four
hour day is obviously unfair
and equally as obviously is
completely out of harmony with
the whole program for eco
nOmic recovery"
He cites the recent communi-
cation from the Attorney Gen
eral tc the Comptroller General
pointing out that this would
seem to violate the spirit of the
Recovery Act as clear recognition
of the unfairness of the present
policy.
Constitutes Pay Cut
Federal workers, Steward points
out. already have been subjected
to large pay cuts, and this con-
stitutes another, unjustifiable, he
says, on any ground but legal
technicality. In closing, he says:

you direct the various admins

ment to bring their general
policies into harmony with the

CREDIT URGED
TOEMPLOYERS

JOHNSONBURG, N. j., Aug.
10 GN.SD.-Widening of the
gap between purchasing power
and production costs is one of the
serious problems facing the NRA
today, Herbert B. Brougham told
delegates to the third Economic
Conference for engineers here.
The employer today. he said, is
facing the ordeal of having to
submit to a disastrous price dis
count while his costs are in
creased by cut working hours.
Remedy for the situation,
Brougham believes, is granting Of
Government credit to employers
sufficient to bridge the gap be-
tween purchasing power and pro.
duction expense.

Allowances to Hospitals for Charity Patients

The directors of federal re-
lief funds allotted to North Car
olina have agreed to authorize
county public welfare officers to
make per diem payments to hos
pitals for the treatment of per-
sons unable to pay. This comes
about as the result of the ex-
haustion of the hospitals re-
sources. Aid to hospitals is one
form of aid to the unemployed,
because the widespread unem-
ployment in these days has
brought a great increase in the
demands for charity service.
Almost all the people of this
county who require hospital
care go to either Watts or Duke
in Durham, and both these are
in straits.
The Weekly published in it's
last issue passages from the
Duke hospital annual report,
