'CH|SELING' BY
NRA SIGNERS
UNDER PROBE
Methods of Dealing With
Complaints to Be Talked
by District Board.
$4,000 ARE PLEDGED
Response From Business
Men of Indiana Called
Magnificent

With 25,000 covenants from Indi-
ana employers signed and delivered
at the Office of the United States
department of commerce in Indian
apolis. the district recovery board
today took up the question of deal
ing with violators of the NRA code.
Meeting with Francis Wells, Indi-
ana recovery director at the Cham
Der of Commerce. the district board
recently appointed by the President
was TO consider methods of investi-
eating score of complaints from
local workers declaring that en-
ployers were not living up to the
covenant. although they displayed
the blue eagle.
The response OF the business
men in Indianapolis and through
out the state has been magnificent"
said Wells. which makes it all the
more necessary to investigate re-
lentlessly those who would break
faith with the President.
While some of the complaints I
have received from angry employees
stating that their employers. while
displaying the blue eagle. neverthe-
less were violating the terms Of the
agreement. may have been due TO
misinterpretation of the code. each
complaint will be investigated and
sent to Washington.
Uncertain on Methods
Wells was not certain today OF
the methods of investigation which
General Hugh S. Johnson, recovery
administrator at Washington, will
employ to move against violators Of
the covenant.
Many industries have volun-
teered to police their own constitu-
ents," he said, but it is possible
that a federal investigator may be
sent here to check up. Twenty vio-
lations out of $4,000 signed cove
nants from Indiana employers is not
large, but the aim of the govern
ment is to have a 100 per cent CO.

The national deadline on NRA'
codes is Aug. 81.

turers Association representing

While hundreds OF residences and
business houses were flooded to a
depth of several feet and torrents
OF water ran through low-lying
streets along the stream. no loss of
life within the city proper had been
reported.

Whether there was loss of life in
the valley above Denver. nearer TO
the broken dam, could not be deter
mined. Telephone wires were Gown.
Telephone operators at Parker
and Sullivan. Colo, reported that
the water at those points almost was
a mile wide and many feet deep.
They said they were informed doz-
ems of farm houses had been lit

Phone Operators Save Lives
Prompt action of these operators
in warning residents along the
stream was credited with saving
many lives.
Within an hour after the dam
went out. about a. m, Hugh
Payne. caretaker, reached a tele-
phone and sent the warning into
the threatened area.
Newspaper men were rushed into
the Denver residential district. and
aided police and firemen in broad
casting the word of the flood.

lage along the stream began plug

Dawn found the creek banks lined
with curious. frightened people,

LONDON, June ga note ernpha-
sizing the inpor -ance Of the wheat
question was circulated by the secre-
tariat of the World Economic Confer
ence today while the four-power wheat
parley was temporarily halted.
The wheat conference, attended by
the United States, Canada, Australia
and Argentina, has been recessed to
permit Stanley NJ. Bruce to submit pro-
posalS to the Australian government.
which he represents.
Wheat Question Important.
at is naturally of Importance that
the wheat question should be pressed
forward as much as possible during the
present conference" the Secretarlat note
said. 1T is obvious that any arrange
ment whereby prices would be raised,
and which would bind the importing
countries to a moderate tariff policy.
would be likely to exert a considerable
influence on the evolution OF trade
policy in view Of the fact that the wheat
question concerns a large majority of
agriCulturalists in all coun ries.
1t should be noted. however, that

contrary, take steps to increase pro-
duction unless they are able again to
sell abroad Through a diminution OF
all forms of commercial impediments)
the products notably dairy products,
which before the world crisis enabled
a large part of the agricultural popuia-
ton to earn their living.
Earlier Attempts Isolated.
Attempts that have been made up
to the present to organize certain spe-
cific branches of production have rarely
been successful. But it is to be noted
that these attempts were isolated and
remained within the orbit OF single
category of products and were there
fore completely at the mercy OF tne
opposing interests concerned.
TODAY. on the contrary. the members
of the conference must consider these
attempts as part of a general scheme
intended to restore buoyancy to economic
life"
Chadbourne Plan Helps.
The note asserted that the Chad
bourne plan for regulating sugar
'appears to have exercised certain
influence of sugar prices" although II
covered only about half Of the world
production.
There is danger. the note continues.
that the sugar plan may not have Its
full effect because the leading producing
countries, which up to the present are
not exporters, are not parties to 1t and
show tendency constantly to increase
production. There is lesson IN this
for the wheat producers, the document
said.

quarters pointed to the recently COM
pleted Anglo-Argentine agreement as a
possible example of discrimination
against other countries.
The Ottawa agreements, under which
the United Kingdom traded advantages
with other parts Of the British Empire.
also were cited rs open to attack on
the ground that they were discrimi-
natory.
Nevertheless, the resolution obviously
was based on the conclusion that gen.
eral tariff reduction agreements among
all countries, with various living stand
ards and interests, was impracticable
and that results we're most likely along
the lines of regional or common in
terests.
The resolution started with decla-
ration that it was against the common
interest to raise additional tariff bar
riers. This would tend 70 extend the
Roosevelt tariff truce, to which nations
having nearly 90 per cent of the world
trade already have adhered.
The gold bloc nations headed by
France welcomed the American stabil-
ization declaration as the first clear
cut oficial statement by the United
States OF its position at the Conference.
Lines Clearly Drawn.
"The lines now are clearly drawn, "
a spokesman for the French delegation
said, "and we know where We are 60
ing"
Fear that certain gold countries may
be forced to abandon the yellow metal
If the United States is left with free
hand to devaluate the dollar is ad-
vanced in high quarters as the reason
the gold bloc reluctantly agreed to con-
tinue economic discussion despite the
non sterilization of the dollar.
The gold bloc. fighting tooth and
nail, began to realize, high authority
said, that the non-gold countries
such as the United States, Britain and
the Scandinavian nations-were In a
stronger fundamental position than the
gold countries, and that it was better
to mark time within the conference,
where a sharp eye could be kept on
American movements. than to With
Graw completely from London.
Today's cyclonic developments, some
European headquarters pointed out 90
not necessarily mean, however, that all
obstacles have been swept from the
path of the conference.
It was intimated that the welcoming
Of the American declaration by the
sold bloc might be a maneuver ultl-
mately to place the United states In
the position of having rendered the
conference sterile
A spokesman for the French dele
CATION, after hearing the Hull resolu-
ton read, said: There is nothing
revolutionary in It," Beyond this he
refused to comment.
1t was understood that the Hull docu-
ment was considered by the American
delegation to be a substitute for the
American memorandum, submitted last
week, calling for general 10 per cent
tariff cut.
In American delegation quarters the
resolution was described as intended tt
be first and rather general step TOWARD
the reduction of trade barriers. Mem
bers said the section referring to reduc-
ing barriers by multilateral as well al
by bilateral agreements leaves open tht
way for horizontal cuts, such as the II
per cent reduction proposal.

The resolution concludes. however,
that such agreements should not be
discriminatory, and some American
