KEEPS
UP BATTLE ON
4O-H0UR CODE
Protest Against Proposed
Textile Plants Work Week
to Go to Roosevelt.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, July 3.-William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, intends tc
protest to President Roosevelt
against acceptance of a forty-houl
work week and a S12 and $13 mini
mum wage scale in the cotton textile
code.
If Administrator Hugh Johnson
conSultS his labor and employers
advisory boards before making rec
concentrations to the President
Green will protest there also. He is
a member of the labor advisory
board.
If not, Green will go to the Presi-
dent with request that working
hours be limited to thirty a week,
and that minimum wages be fixed
somewhere between $14 and SIS.
Other members of the labor ad-
visory board also are on record in
favor Of shorter working hours and
higher minimum pay.
Look to Precedent
In spite of Johnson's denial that
the cotton textile code is to es-
tablish wage and hour presidents for
other industries, it was evident to-
Gay that some trade groups now at
work on codes are determined to
consider it such.
OF the codes already near compile
ton, majority propose a forty
hour work week. AS soon as the
second draft of the cotton textile
code was submitted, the offices of
the recovery administration were
deluged with requests from trade
associations for copies of it.
Some branch of the wearing APP
parel industries probably will be the
next to be heard on code provisions.
Many Codes Prepared
No new completed code has been
submitted to the recovery admins
tration for approved except that of
the caStirOn soil pipe industry, and
that is to be laid aside because it
covers such a relatively small num-
Der of persons.
Upward of a hundred codes now
are in process of formation. A con-
siderable number tentatively are be-
fore the recovery administration for
suggestions before being crystallized
into definite form. But until one
of the major industries submits a
code agreed to by a majority of
firms involved, no new notice of
hearing will be announced.
AS a result of this temporary
pause in the hearing schedule, the
calendar probably will be crowded
to overf1owing in a few weeks.
If JohnSOn'S expressed hope of
having most of industrial America
under codes within three months is
to be carried out, numerous hear
ingS will have to be held simuIta-
neously through the summer
months. Seven deputy administra-
tors already have been appointed to
take charge of this work.
Meanwhile President Roosevelt is
discussing progress made so far with
the recovery program, at a confer
ence today on board the cruiser In
dianapolis with cabinet members
and other administration officials.
Among those industries which are
proposing forty-hour week are the
National Knitted Outwear Associa-
ton, National Association of Hosiery
Manufacturers, Clothing Manufac-
turers' Association of the United
States, Throwsters Research Insti-
tute for the Needle Trades, and Toy
Manufacturers of the United States.

REGIONAL DISTRICTS FOR
PUBLIC WORKS PLANNED
State Boundaries May Be Discarded
by President, Says IckeS.

Bg Scripps-HoWard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. July 3.-State
boundaries may be discarded and
regional divisions established, each
under an administrator appointed
by President Roosevelt, in the or
ganization for carrying out the re-
covery public works program.
1t is stated by Interior Secretary
Harold L. Ickes, chairman of the
public works board. that alternative
plans will be submitted to the Presi-
dent when he returns from his vaca-
ton.
One of these will be the original
proposal to designate an outstand-
ing citizen in each state to act as
administrator for that state.
1t is believed, however, that the
board will favor division of the
country into twelve districts with the
same geographical boundaries as the
twelve federal reserve bank districts.

Robert FeChner Director of
275,000 Young Men

Following Is another article in the
series on leading personalities in the
Roosevelt administration.
BY FREDERICK c. OTHAIAN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Robert
Fechner holds the distinction Of
being the only one of President
RooseveltS dozen "dictatOrS" who
does not hold a college degree.
He did not attend high school.
He didn't finish grade school.
Why, most of my clerks are bet
ter educated than I am" he ex-
claimed at the interior depart
ment. where he is in charge of the
275,000 men in the Presidents re-
foreStation camps.
Instead Of going to school. Fech-
ner became a machiniSt'S apprentice
at 10 and wandered over most Of the
country during the ensuing wears
looking for work. He'll never forget
that time in Texas when he was
broke, hungry and discouraged.
Some one invited him to party.
where he won a prize of SIS.
1t Just about saved my life, said
Fechner.
Leads Labor Union
TWenty-one years ago he Joined
the International Machinists' Union.
later became vice president and
established his headquarters in
Boston. He was granted a furlough
when Mr.. Roosevelt appointed him
refOreStation administrator.
Hardly had Fechner taken over
his new desk before a New York
salesman arrived, peddling toilet
kits. They contained an excellent
assortment of shaving cream, razor
blades, needles, thread, tooth paste
and unbreakable looking glasses.
They cost ST 40 each.
Fechner ordered 100000 of them.
Kit Scandal Looms
The army quartermaster corps
charged that similar kits could be
purchased for 81 cents each. The
army charged further that Fechner
had wasted 100000. Opponents of
the administration Immediately
bounced upon the incident. They
limited at scandal The name of
Louis McHenry Howe, secretary of
the President, was drawn into the
controversy.
There was a senatorial investiga-
ton. Fechner said he bought the
$1.40 kits because he thought they
were good value. Howe said that
he did not influence Fechner in the
purchase.
The committee exonerated Fech-
ner OF all charges, but suggested
that, in the future, more care be
exercised in buying supplies for the
youths in the forestry camps.
Visits His Boys Weekly

apparently are Fechner'S greatest
interest in life.
He likes to drive unannounced to
the nearby camps on Sunday after
moons, walk in and have -dinne,.N
with his boys" He listens to their
troubles, gives them advice, pats
them on the back, examines their
bliStered hands and often leaves
hours later without his charges even
learning his name.
Fechner is married, but his wife
spends most of her time in Bos-
ton. The reforestation director
lives here in a second class hotel.
He says the fancy hostelries bother
him.

Police were told that Smith and

The weeping women informed the
officers that the two men had called

Ring Around the Rosy
In close pursuit, the police fol-

round and round went the officers.
On one turn of the impromptu
race, Smith is alleged to have

a furry of flsticuffs, however. The
cops won that, too.

Maryland, and particularly Balti-
more, likes its beer. Baltimore re-
ports noticeable increases in en-
ployment, and stable tax revenues.
The city has Issued 5000 licenses at
$50 each. and taxes to the middle
of June amounted to $118,313.
A third Of the citys numerous
speakeasies have been driven out Of
business; another third have taken
the locks off their doors selling legal
beer to all Corners and hard liquor
to known customers.
Drunkenness Arrests Drop
Arrests for drunkenness have de-
creased appreciably
Revenues collected by Maryland
counties are exceeding expectations.
Baltimore and the District Of Co
.umbia have produced $430O00 in
federal taxes.
West Virginia up to the middle
of June had collected about $780,
600 in license fees and taxes. The
situation there is complicated, for
on June 20 Federal Judge George
w McClintic voided the states law
legalizing beer and instructed a
grand jury that indictments might
be returned against those who sell
beer
Legal complications also have de-
veloped in Kentucky, where an ap-
peals court ruled that beer was a
soft drink, and could not be taxed
under state law.
Question on Taxes
Now there is question on whether
the taxes collected-some 100000
for the state and $4,000 for Louis
ville-Will have to be returned. The
state tax is 10 cents a barrel.
Kentuckys increase in employ
nent is estimated at 1000 in brew
ing and allied trades. Pay rolls Of
two breWeries in Louisville increased
from $3,342 to $7O2O weekly with
beers return.
Beer has brought a new racket
to South Carolina smuggling it
into dry Georgia. South Carolina
taxes beer two cents a pint, or Is
cents a gallon, and collects on what
its own citizens consume, as well
as on beer which finds its way
across the border.
Border counties are used as Stor-
age spots for the smuggling racket.
Rum Running Continues
The first thirty days Of legalized
beer brought $4,000 into Florida
state treasury, a sum far below eS-
Inmates. State licenses cost from
$40 for small dealers up to $3.50 for
breweries Counties along the Dor
der, which sell beer for dry Ala
bama and Georgia, have profited
most.
Rum-running continues along the
Atlantic coast, with liquor cars OPP
Grating on schedule as far north as
Missouri.
Louisiana expects to collect about
100000 annually from its beer tax
Of $3.50 a barrel municipalities
are expected to get about 100000
from levies which may not exceed
so cents a barrel.
i Several thousand men have been
put to work in LouiSiana's saw
mills, largely as the result of de-
'mand for beer kegs. Breweries in
New orleans also have hired addi-
tional men.

Local Option Allowed

In Baton Rouge no net gain is
figured. since the number of those
serving legal beer about equals the
number driven out Of the business
of selling home brew.
One Louisiana township has
availed itself of the local option
privilege of the state law, and sew
eral communities have declined to
enact ordinances for the regulation
of beer selling.
The state of Tennessee received
in taxes $4,000 during the first
month of legal beer sale. 1t had
been estimated that the amount
would be $4,000.
State officials expect a total of
100000 in taxes during the first
year, and say low revenues at the
outset were because only one brew
cry was operating.
5000 Get Jobs
Employment was not stimulated
as much as had been expected ESti-
mates are that not more than 5000
throughout the state got jobs, many
of them cutting slaves for barrels
and working in lumber mills.
The sale of beer is controlled in
Tennessee through local beer COM
missions. In cities of more than
100000, Of which there are four in
the state. the retailer pays three sets
of taxes, one to the state. one to the

in a speech today by j. S. Tritle, pres

Addressing meeting of the asSocla-

stage of what we must look forward
to in the future"
ut is apparent" he continued, that
the recovery act with perhaps some
notifications, will gradually pass from
the status of emergency legislation to
a permanent policy. Industry may ex-
pect that Government will take more

of stabilizing permanently our whole
economic state
"And the more effectively our own
or any other industry regulates it
self, the less interference it will have

expect from now on that Government
will have supervisory jurisdiction over
all industry"
