1t was the plan of the white CON-

employers who were already employ

The letter stated the code would
apply to white people who are old,
young or infirm in any way, and
would also apply to the colored race

and considering subjects referred to
them by other groups or by the De-

Secretary Roper stated to those
present at the conferenc that it was
necessary that such advisory groups
should have such vision, experience
and standing as to be able to think
both for themselves and for others.
Consequently, he was hopeful that in
studying their problems they would
think Of the interest Of the colored
people as such and also at the same
time Of their relationship to the en-
tire economic structure Of the eoun-
try and hence to the entire popula-
ton involved

welt was in part as follows:
1--WE are deeply concerned over your
approval Of the code of fair competi-
ton for the iron and steel industry by
your executive order Of August 10,
1888. We wish to call your attention
to the fact that the wage scales for
the Southern and Birmingham dis
tricts approved by you are actually
lower than those agreed to by the en-
ployers in those areas as representing
what they would be fairly able to pay
I'VE call your attention specifical-
ly to the statement Of Mr.. Robert P
Lamont, representing the employers
in those districts, which we quote in
full from page 20 of the Transcript
Of Proceedings. First Day, Afternoon
Session.:
Statement Of MI. Robert p. Lamont
Mr.. Lamont: Mr.. Administrator,
this morning l stated a southern mini
mum for consideration, and that it
would be possible to make another an
nouncement and more definite an
nouncement this a~fteroon.
81 am able to state that the repre-
sentatives Of the various interests
have met and have agreed to the mini
mum rate Of 80 cents in the Birming-
ham and Southern districts.
ut IS the sense of u committee
at least to the limit acceptable to the
that the failure to raise the wage scale
employers in that field represents a
grave injustice to Negro labor which
predominates in those areas. In sup
port of our contention we wish to call
your attention to the speech made by
your Secretary of Labor and by the
Negro Industrial League to be found
in the transcript of proceedings.
I'VE feel very certain that it is not
your intention to allow the low mini
mum already suggested by the en-
ployers interests in those areas to be
further depressed by administrative
fiat. Certainly a lower minimum than
one which the employer groups read
lily admit that they can pay, cannot
be said to be in keeping with the pur-
poses of the National Industrial Re
covery Act as expressed by your pub
