CODE PROPOSES
ROOSEVELT AS
OIL DICTATOR
Hearing on Rules Urged by
Petroleum Institute
Begins Monday.
BY MARSHALL M'NEIL
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON. July 22.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt would take on the
role of oil car. controlling produc-
ton and licensing marketing under
the American Petroleum Institutes
code of fair competition which is
TO be headed by the national recov-
cry administration starting Monday.
In this hearing the pressure of
the great international figures of oil
will be felt: there. too. the govern
ments of the producing states
will be represented: and the small
independent wildcatterS whose en-
terprise in seeking for this black
liquid wealth will raise their voices.
The issues are clear and the code
hearing controversies will revolye
about four major points:
/. Whether the federal govern
ment shall be given authority to
control production.
2. Whether marketers of petro-
leum shall be licensed.
3. Whether the federal govern
ment shall fix prices.
4. Labor provisions.
These latter are paramount to
the Roosevelt administration and
the recovery administration, but
generally they are of secondary i'm
portance to the industrys leaders,
who are concerned more deeply in
price-fixing, licensing, federal pro-
duction control.
The institutes code proposes a
forty-hour week, with minimum
wages ranging from 40 to AZ cents
depending upon the region. An in
dependent code that will be pro-
posed at the hearing provides mini
mum wages of so cents and a 30
hour week.
The production provisions of the
code leave no doubt that the great
of the oil industry want President
Roosevelt as their dictator. For
they provide that before well

Business men were not the only
ones TO pore over the first prints
of the Presidents agreement. Stem
ographers. clerks, street car con-
ductors, millnen and miners read
it with equal eagerness to learn
just what it promises in the way
of increased wages, shorter work

The President. Recovery Admin
istrator Hugh johnson and the staff
of workers who have labored for
two weeks whipping the agreement
into shape and preparing the ma
chinery by which it is to be put into
effect radiated confidence today
that the plan will work.
Industry to Fall in Line
Their confidence is based on two
things:
/. An apparent readiness on the
part of industry to fall in with the
recovery plan.
2. A belief that the buying public,
on whom success or failure ulti-
mately depends, can be relied upon
to take full advantage of the oppor-
tunity given it to save itself from
future suffering.
Even before details of the plan
had been announced, Administrator
Johnson was receiving Geographic
pledges from large business organ
izations. promising cooperation.
1t will be impossible FOR every
business concert in the country to
present proof of compliance with
the new wage and hour scales on
Aug /. but the consuming public
nevertheless will be asked to start
/ looking for the blue recovery eagle
on that day. Stores which in
crease wage scales and cut working
/ hours at once thus will enjoy tenn
porary trade advantage.
Customers to Display Eagle
The blue eagle-wings outspread
one claw clutching a cogwheel, the
other bolts of lightning be dis
played by consumers as well as EN-.
ployers. Families which agree t.
purchase all goods from blue eagle
stores will be given cards TO put il
their windows.
Meanwhile the public relations di.
vision of the recovery administra
ton worked at top speed today get
ting ready to kindle in every corne
of the country the flame of en-
thusiasm which is to furnish tn,
motive power of the emergenc,
drive.

the early part of next week, and a
once the work of preparing volun
teer speakers to blanket the countr,
as four minute men did during tn
war will begin.

ence, Can this be right? We show

'Wissel said, IF that's what 1t

we'll just have TO charge it off, :"
declares the sworn statement of
Lucas.
Alleges Envelope Sales
Things are guarded loosely. The
inmate who had the JOB just before

5000 in stamped envelopes that were
in the Office. He said he sold them
to inmates for tobacco" charges
Lucas under oath.
Il have heard Craig and Arment
get in at least a dozen arguments
about the discipline and work on the
farm" accused Lucas in his state
ment.
On one occasion I heard Arment
talking to Wissel They were talk
ing about a bridge that was being
built on the place and Arment
wanted another fifty bags of cement.
WiSSel said to him. This is the sixth
time you've been after fifty bags of
cement for this bridge and the origi-
nal requisition called for only fifty
bags. That's 300 bags you've gotten
so far relates Lucas in his sworn
statement
Lucas in his affidavit says Arment
replied. BY God, we're using it
down there"
Barred From Library
The wife of Mr.. Arment used
to purchase her groceries in Put
namville and the bills we're sent to
the farm for payment. Many times
this included green vegetables that
were already available on the farm"
asserts Lucas in his sworn state
ment.
Lucas, in his affidavit, says the farm
has a library. but that prisoners
can't use it.
Sometimes Christian Science
practitioners would tell prisoners
they could get Science and Health
in the library and when the prisoner
would go to the library they'd laugh
at MIN. The prisoner could not get
a book out of the library. Guards
use it for loafing ROOM" declares
Lucas under oath.
Sent to State Prison
On a count similar to the one
for which he was sent to the farm.
Lucas was taken TO the state prison
at Michigan City to serve a one to
five-year sentence.
On Junue %. 1888. he was released
from Michigan City, after serving
the minimum of his sentence.
AS far as the treatment is con-
cerned," concludes Lucas in his af-
fidavit. I'D rather do a year at
Michigan City than six months on
the state farm. That is. if I had to
take the regular line of labor"

SNAPDRACONS

The snapdragon or antirrhinum IS
one of the most beautiful flowers that
the home gardener can grow. Further
more, the snapdragon Is valuable for
cutting purposes. Unfortunately. this
desirable flower has one or more severe
fungus enemies, chiefly rust disease.
There Is no cure, once the rust has
gained foothold in the plant because
the minute thread-like mycelium of the
parasite grows internally in the tissues
Of the snapdragon and is only to be
seen in the eruptions Of sport masses
which form the characteristic rust-like
spots found largely on the under sides
of the leaves of infested plants. Dis
eased plants should be pulled up and
burned
A practical method of control lies in
the growing Of seedlings and keeping
phur until they begin to bloom. Dur
ing the last few years. at least two of
the agricultural experiment stations of
the country have made notable prog
ress in selecting rust-resistant strains
Of snapdrsgors and it is hoped that IN
time this disease may be relegated into
the background.
Wilt is another trouble confronting
the snapdragon grower. In this case,
plants in prime, healthy condition sud-
denly wilt and fail to recover. appear
ing just as If they had been cut of
below ground This is virtually what
occurs as fungus attacks the roots and
cuts of the water supply. Unfortunate
ly. there is no cure except that OF NOV
ing the next planting to new piece OF
the garden or of steriliZing the soil in
late Fall with formaldehyde solution.
Despite these troubles, the snapdrag-
on is worth thorough trial because its
stately spikes of white, pink or red are
wonderfully beautiful and last long
time as cut flowers.
