PR0POSEDCODEP FOR
STEEL INDUSTRY IS
AT7ACKEDBY LABOR
4O-Hour Week and Minimum
Wages Of rs to 40 Cents
Are Suggested

Washington, July 15.-(R-The
succession of proposed codes for in
dustry continued Saturday at the re-
covery administration but the agree
ment proposed for one of the most
important of all-steel-aroused the
immediate opposition Of organized la
Dor.
The wooden industry laid its trade
agreement before Hugh S. johnson,
recovery administrator, but its sug-
gestion for 40-hour week and min
imum wage of $l4 weekly was at var
lance with the demand by the United
Textile Workers of America for 80
hours and an $18 minimum.
The steel agreement, submitted by
Robert p. Lamont, former secretary
of Commerce and president of the
iron and steel institute, suggested a
40-hour week and minimum wages Of
from Is to 40 cents an hour.
Through its president, William r.
Green, the American Federation Of
Labor said it felt these were too low
but 1t objected in particular to pro-
visions interpreted as calling for
company. rather than outside, union
ization of workers.
1T is bad enough to have them
control prices without also having
control Of the life Of their workers"
Green said.
johnson praised the work done in
an effort to speed the codes but made
it plain he had approved none Of the
provisions submitted.
Public hearings on them will be held
later.
The agreements are designed pr1-
marily to raise wages and shorten
working hours to hoist mass purchas-
ing power.

Further analysis Of the figures

the cost. went to the men who insti-
tuted the case or had a part in
bringing against the commissioners
the charges which subsequently were
proved to be false. These were Nc

Not Scintilla, Says LANCER
The completeness with which the
charges against the three men were
disproved was indicated by Governor
William LANCER In a speech Friday
night at Wing, In soder's commits

executive asserted that there was not
one scintilla Of evidence to justify
the removal Of Solder and his COL
leagues and praised Solder highly, in
dicating his regret that he had acted
hastily IN removing him from office
pending the hearing.
A review Of the testimony In the
case, as contained In the formal rec

Before Register could render an
opinion the removal proceedings were
instituted and the three commission
ers whom Conrad had threatened
were removed.
AS q result, the legality Of the &C.

short terms, plus poorly paid salaries
When these with many other handi-
