You'd hardly think it, but the
little hello" girls at the Capt.
tol are buster now than they
have been for a long time.
It's usually thought that the
telephone business has a slack
season when Congress is not in
session.
But the "hello'' gir1s don't
need the Members of Congress
to keep them busy.
Right now. in fact, the tele-
phone operators are ION the go"
night and day as a direct re-
suit of the numerous new Gov
ernment agencies that have
sprung up.
There Is constant activity on
the telephone wires between the
Interior, Commerce and Agricul-
ture departments, where the
new agencies are principally
located.
Besides that, although the
Members of Congress are not in
town, practically all their offices
are open.
Thus, just as when Congress
is in session, 24-hour service is
maintained, with little Mrs.
Marriott G. Daley, chief opera
tor, heading the activities.

The code of the iron and steel
industry today was being heard
before Deputy Administrator K.
M. Simpson, for the National Re-
covery Administration, prelimi-
nary to it's transmission for ap-
proval by President Roosevelt.
Whether it will keep its present
clauses on labor, and on other
vital matters before it is finally
passed was not settled, as inter
ests concerned brought their sup
port behind it.
The code contains, among other
provisions:
/. Collective bargaining.
2. An open shop clause that
is almost standard in the major
industrial codes.
3. Shorter work hours and
higher basic pay rates for
workers.
If it is adopted, the noted and
much discussed "Pittsburg base
plus" price which long has ruled
the steel industry will no longer
be effective. Instead, prices will
be based on regional bases for
the particular product involved.
For wage-determining purposes
the code divides the country into
districts, twenty-one in all. Pay
scales range from Is cents per
hour in the south, through 81
cents in the Birmingham district,
upwards to a maximum of 40
cents in the Pittsburgh. Youngs-
