WASHINGTON, Aug. IA. (UP).
Strenuous effort to bring the
smba,rled oil industry over the
national recovery act will be
made this week as President
Roosevelt personally assumes
command of his gigantic reem-
p.ovment program. -,
Twrnty-four leaders of the oil
industry have been invited by
General Hugh S. Johnson, recov-
sry administrator, to confer with
him on Thursday. Every effort
will be made then to perfect a
PETROLEUM code.

Foremost and proving exceed

, large extent for the inability
Of bi,uminOuS coal operators to
agree on a code. One section of
the industry proposed formal
recognition of the United Mine
Workers Of America, one of the
most powerful labor unions in
the world. The Appalachian
group. however, is insisting upon
retention of the company union.
Hearings on the coal code
were adjourned until August p
after leaders of the industry had
conferred here for a week with
out reaching an agreement.
The oil industry is split over
the question of price fixing.
Johnson steadfastlv has insisted
T. should not be included in the
code. Economists of the recov-
s.y administration. however, have
5een studying this problem for
evpral days and a solution Is
Believed imminent.
As the president reviewed the
various phases of these industrial
ssues, Johnson was in st. Louis,

Inc wives and Sweethearts of the
nation to throw their Influence

BY SAM KNOTT

CHICAGO. Aug. 14.-(UP).-
Delegates to the Hoboes of Amer
lea convention worked" yester-
day on a "code" promising sup
port for President Roosevelt's
NRA program and asking govern
ment intervention to put more
rods under railroad cars.
Chairs stood in the hall where
the hoboes assembled for the sec
ond session of their four-day con-
vention. but few delegates used
them. They preferred to make
themselves Eat home" by sitting
on the floor.
Several delegates indicated they
desired to offer amendments TO
the original code but when King
Joe Davis reminded them they
must stand when addressing the
chairman, they decided their lead
err probably knew best anyway.

dents program" declared Davis,
land we'll get benefits therefrom,
for when you cast crumbs upon
the waters you get back a chicken
sandwich.
The proposed code stressed the
railroad problem because, as Da-
Wis pointed out, hoboes are in such
good position to know all about
this particular mode of transport
tation.
"The railroads are not what
they once were," stated Davis.
"The palaces beneath the cars
where once a BIO might ride COM
fortably on several rods have
been changed. There is but one
rod now, and the blind baggage
bumpers have sharp thorns on

Begins Moving
By HARRY FERGUSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Aug. II (UP)
Eight weeks after the formation

the mechanism for putting men
back to work is under way and
actual construction has started,
Administrator Harold l. Ickes re-
ported last night.
With $3,3OO,OOO,OOO available

work and increase purchasing
power, 300 public roads projects
already have been started. They
are furnishing employment to H.
900 men. =.
The Widespread distribution of
the work is shown by the fact
that the projects are located IN
185 counties in 10 states.
MEANWHILE" the public works
administration said. "the assign
ment of federal road funds for
MARYLAND has been approved by
Administrator Ickes and Secretary
of Agriculture r. G.. Tugwell.
approval of Maryland'S as
signment completes the road APP
continents for all states with the
exception of Georgia where local
differences between the governor
and the state highway department
have held up the program.
while road construction IS the
first of public works activities to
get started in a big way, the
navy's shipbuilding program soon
will follow, creating jobs for many
more thousands in shipyards and
associated industries.
THE navy is cooperating with
the public works administration in
it's desire to open up jobs as quick
" as possible. To this end the
navy will accept early delivery on
auxiharies, standard fitting and
other materials not Immediately
needed. but in order to create
work at once.
"The administration has been
advised that the navy expects to
sign the first of the new ship con-
tracts this week"
The public works administrator
nointed out signing of ship con-
tract would mean employment for
men in such diversified Industries
as pumps, motors and electrical
fittings.
