This was the day set for
business to put into effect
President Roosevelt's emer-
gency unemployment agree
mentS. From all sections of
the country came reports of
blue eagles going up on store
fronts and factories, and en-
ployers falling into line by the
thousands to spread employ
ment and pay workers high
er wages.
Provisions of the blanket agI ee-
ment as they affect the hours and
wages of 100000 employees of re-
tail stores we're modified Monday
night by Administered Hugh S.
johnson.
The NRA estimated that under
the new terms, more 100000 per-
sons could be given immediate en-
ployment.
Progress Made on Codes
Hearings on the code of fair
competition for the giant iron and
steel industry we're recessed after
a day of thick-and-fas develop
ments, including withdrawal of the
most controversial feature of the
code, that proposing to continue the
company union plan of employe rep
resentation.
Progress in the effort to bring
some semblance of order out of the
chaotic oil industry was registered
in new code drafted by NRA Of
ficials and representatives of the
industry. The new code proposes a
work-week of thirty-six hours in the
oil fields generally, and forty-hour
week in the marketing end of the
industry.
The blanket code was modified for
retail stores TO enable most of the
nations retailers to come under the
recovery act Immediately. Many
had complained that the original
terms would work too great a hard
ship.
The thousands of retailers who
already had signed the original
agreement are permitted to change
it now in accordance with the new
schedule of hours and wages.
Food Stores Lengthen Hours
The notifications. however. are
subject to later action on the per-
manent retail codes. Hearings be-
gin Aug. Is.
Food and grocery distributors are
permitted to work under 48-hour
week. instead of the 40-hcur week
in the general agreement. The 1000,
900 clerks in such stores have been
working up to 73 hours week.
The other division of the retail
industry-dry goods, department,
speciality mail order, mems cloth
ing and furnishing. furniture, hard
ware and shoe stores-will have a
40-hour week.
Three million employees are affect
ed by these provisions, which fix
the following minimum wages: sl4
in cities of more than 100000: $3.50
in cities from 100000 to 100000; s13
in cities and towns from $500 to
100000: for towns of less than
$500 20 per cent increase in wages
is decreed. providing this does not
require wages in excess of s11 per
week
Minimum Less in South
In the south the minimums are
81 less per week. Immediate trade
areas are included in the general
population classihcations.
The food distributors will have a
SIS minimum for forty eight hour
week in cities Of more than 100000:
sl4.50 in cities between 2500c0 and
500 900; si4 per week in cities of
between $500 and 250030 or their
immediate trade areas. There is
81 differential for the south and
employees with less than six months
experience will be paid 81 less than
the minimum.

MENOCAE'S EYE
AGAIN ON CUBA

MIAMI, Aug. 10 Q.N.SO.-Pos-
sibility of establishment of a
provisional Cuban government
was seen today by General Mario
G. Menocal, former Cuban presi-
dent and leader of the forces OPP
posed to President Gerardo Me-
chado.
Usually reliable sources in Mi
ami said today that the former
Cuban president would fly to
Cuba and set up a provisional
government.
Menocal, these sources said,
relied on the withdrawal Of
United States recognition of the
Machado government and beneV-
olent tolerance of any provisional
government that might be eStab-
lished.
General Menocal, apprised at
his Miami Beach home of the
Machado UkaSe which ordered
martial law throughout Cuba,
withheld comment on the decree
until more fully informed of the
situation.
