MODIFICATION DUE
IN OIL PRICE CODE
Committees of Various Fac.
tions Will Hold Meeting
Here This Week.
By the Associated Press.

Dy tllt hsSoCldIeu fTBSS
A modified form of price regulation
for the oil industry WAS contemplated
yesterday by the administration as part
of trade practice program for the bill
lions invested in the petroleum business
This was the understanding given in
high quarters as committees represent
ing the main factions in the industry
were called by the N. r. A. to meet here
next Wednesday or Thursday.
The oil leaders then will 20 over the
draft Of revised fair competition code
prepared by the NJ r. A. to succeed a
tentative plan submitted two weeks ago.
After committee study of the pro-
posal. it was expected an immediate
hearing would be called so that all ef-
forts could be expedited toward bring
ing the industry, third largest in the
country, fully into the recovery drive.
Could Come Under Code.
Under a recent order by Hugh S.
johnson, the industrial administrator,
oil companies could come under the
blue eagle Immediately by substituting
for hour and wage provisions Of the
blanket code the labor terms previously
agreed upon by the industry's chief
tains.
Whether the price provisions under
stood to be definitely decided on for a
place in the code would seek to fix
prices was a moot point. but responsible
administration officials doubted that 1t
would go so far as specific Stipula-
tion.
They intimated the Federal agency
to be in charge Of supervising the oil
program would recommend what should
be a fair minimum price for crude oil
and its products, and an equitable
maximum for the prices OF gasoline ana
other petroleum products to the con-
sumer.
The oil industry was sharply divided
over price regulation. the numerous ma
jority insisting upon price supervision
to enable companies to meet increased
costs of production because OF the
shorter hours and higher pay. johnson
heretofore has been against price regu-
lation until the effect of production
control on prices could be shown.
Oppose Price Regulation.
Standard companies of New Jersey
Dutch Shell Co., the Gulf Co. and
some other interests, and advocated by
the Standard of California, Harry F.
Sinclair of the Consolidated Oil Cor
poration. E. B. Reeser of the Barnsdall
Oil Corporation, and many others.
Ofhcials said they did not expect
there would be many basic changes
from the tentative proposal by johnson
to the industry and the revised draft to
be submitted to the committees next
week, other than inclusion Of some form
of price insurance
Stringent Federal regulation over
production has been called for, through
ALLEGATION by a Federal agency to the
States of their share of the national de-
mand. each State to divide its share
among its fields.

TEXTILE CODE HELD
GROSSLY VIOLATED
Southern Labor Leader to
Present About 500 Conn.,
plants to Officials.
BY the Associated Press.


ATLANTA, August 12.-George L.
Googe, Southern representative OF the
American Federation of Labor, said TO-
day he would lay before the Recovery
Administration in Washington Monday
about 500 complaints of N. r. A. code
violations in Southern textile mills, in
volving approximately 100 plants
Such complaints are coming into the
federation's Southern headquarters
here at the rate Of dozens daily, he said.
The newest complaint. Googe said,
involves system of holding the work.
ers, on the average. to their piece-work
pay scale despite the weekly minimum
wage requirement of the N r. A. code.
I'VE are getting more complaints
a~ainst that practice right now" he
said, than against any other t. ng,
unless it is the stretch-out or machine
overload system.
1T works this way:
I'VE will take worker whose mini
mum wage is set at S12 week under
the N. r. A. code.
This week shortage of material or
machine breakage or some other condi-
ton outside his control cuts his output
so that he earns only SO week on his
piece-Work scale.
Saturday night he gets his check for
the S12 all right. But next week. or
the week after, he has a good run. and
turns out enough work to give him SIS
under the piece scale
But he doesn't get the SIS. He gets
S12 and a slip reminding him of 50
advance wage payment some time
before
Googe said the plan was clear"
violation of the minimum wage clauses
OF the textile code and would be pre-
sented to the Recovery Administration
Textile Labor Mediation Board which
VIII hold its organization meeting in
Washington Monday

to protect it with"
Frazier told the gathering he was
radical enough to believe" that
the money in the r. F. c. fund is
"ours" In view of the fact the gov
eminent has the money and can pro-
tect 1t, the speaker said, 1.-The best
thing we can do Is to comply with
their rules to get It."
He then explained that Governor
LANCER is asking needy to apply for
relief through their county commits
sions in orderly fashion under a pre-
scribed set-up, since all requests for
funds from the r. F. c. must come
from states.
He said the demand for 500, 900 per
month must be pared down to SIC, 900
for January and February because 1t
is unlikely the county could get more.
