Battle Begun on Labor Cost Markup'
Feature of NeW Master Retail Code
Fight Will Center on Sum
Stores Must Add to
Wholesale Price.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct 24.-Battle
lines for a new fight over retail
price control we're being drawn to-
day in trade circles and the NRA.
Far from dispoSing of the issue,
a master retail code promulgated
yeSrteday by the President to take
effect next Monday seemed merely
to have defined the limits within
which the controversy now will be
fought to a finish.
Knocking out an original provi-
sion to ban sales of goods at less
than wholesale cost plus 10 per cent,
the code forbids sales at less than
cost with the added declaration that
"the selling price of articles to the
consumer should include an allow
ance for actual wages of store labor,
to be fixed and published from time
to time by the trade authority"
Stores with five or fewer employees
in towns Of less than $500 are
exempt not only from this but
from all other code provisions.
10 Per Cent Estimated
The issue affecting all other
stores now is how rauch of the labor
costs the trade authority will decide
should be included in the prices be-
low which goods can not be sold.
Those within the NRA who fought
to the last for the cost plus 10 per
cent plan express confidence that
the MAKEUP to be recommended by
the trade authority would be close
to that figure. They believed it
would prove more acceptable when
presented, as now it will be, as a
MAKEUP to cover part of actual la
Dor costs.
The trade authority of three
members is expected to be appoint
ed quickly. 1t will have the assist
ance of national retail trade coun-
Gil composed of members of each
division of retail trade.
No Time to Be Lost
NRA officials favoring a substan-
tial minimum markup expressed
belief that these agencies would lose
no time in working out the neces-
sary formulate as most retailers are
anxious to strengthen the stop
loss provisions of the code without
delay.
They anticipated that probably
half dozen markups of varying
percentages would be worked out for
varying types of stores in which la
Dor costs differ.
Those opposing mandatory mark

TO LEND AID
IN MAN HUNT
Predicament in Indiana Is
Brought to Front by
The Times.

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The
aid of the federal government in
the capture of the gang of escaped
convictS at large in Indiana will
be rendered formally to Indiana
state authorities this afternoon.
Edgar Hoover, director of the
justice departments bureau of in
vestigatiOn, this afternoon teIe-
phoned agents in charge of the
bureaus offices in Cincinnati and
Chicago, directing them to get in
touch with Indiana state officials
and offer the cooperation of the
federal government.
By Times Special
WASHINGTON, Oct. pa. Ed
gar Hoover, director of the justice
departments bureau of investiga-
ton, was asked today by Attorney
General Homer Cummings to deter
mine whether it would be advisable
for the federal government to offer
to assist Indiana authorities in their
attempts to capture the gang of eS-
capped convicts running wild over
the state.
The predicament in Indiana was
called to the attention of the attor-
ney-general last night by The In
dianapolis Times.
1t is presumed that MIR. Hoover
will get in touch with federal in
vestigative agents in Indianapolis to
learn whether the escaped GRIM
inals have committed any federal
offense that will justify the justice
department in participating actively
in search for the convicts.
No Aid Is Asked
The federal government does not
want to interfere with the activi-
ties of Indiana state authorities, cut
is willing to extend all of the CO.
operation permissible under the laws
of congress.
Up to noon today no official re-
quest for federal help had been
made by Indiana authorities.
The score" to date credited to
the Dillinger gang since the break
from the Indiana state prison a
month ago is:
Freeing of John Dillinger from
the Lima co. Jail and murder of

They started to climb a stairway

dered them into the bank and made
them lie down on the floor with two
other customers.
"All four of the men we're we'll
dressed but they we're tough" Mr..
Neimic declared. They acted like
they were experienced bank robbers,
and I have no doubt they would
have shot if any one had disobeyed
their commands"

Nominations for Post Will
Be Made Secretly
by Scientists.
BY GREENVILLE MOTT
Times stan Writer

Two Indianapolis scientists from
the Indiana university school of
medicine have been invited to
nominate candidates for the Nobel
prize for physiology and medicine
in 1884. Both awards will carry at
least $4,000 prizes.
DR.. A B. Graham, professor of
surgery, and DR.. H. c. Hamer, elm
ical professor of genito-urinary sur
gerry, received the invitations from
the Nobel committee for physiology
and medicine of the Royal Caroline
Institute of Sweden.
BY the will of Alfred Bernhard
Nobel, former Swedish capitalist and
inventor Of dynamite. this signal
honor is to be rendered to members
of the medical faculties of only six
universities in the world outside of
Scandinavia.
Provided for in Will
The will stipulates that the Royal
Caroline staff may select to make
nominations such distinguished
scientists as the staff may see fit.
The nominees selected for the No
bel awards are kept secret and it is
impossible to learn who the two 10
cal surgeons intend to suggest. DR..
Graham did admit, however, that
he hoped to be able to nominate an
Indiana man. The winner of the
Nobel. the highest, richest and most
famous award in the world of
science. will be announced next Oc-
tober in Stockholm.
Both local scientists now are en-
gagged in gathering such data and
records of original and important
research as would qualify their
nominees for the award. This in
formation will be forwarded to the
Swedish capital this winter.
