above the surrounding country and

more than little embarrassed.
They wanted the pair to know that
there was every belief in their in

willingness to do whatever was nee
essary by way of help but
there was q natural hesitancy In
intruding on their privacy. The trag-

SHOP
REMOVED

CODE
Sec. Perkins Report Warning
Tells industry to Fix Pay,
Pull Self From Slump
International News Service

The open shop clauses in the
iron and steel code W h i c b
threatened to disrupt the hear
ing before the National Recov-
cry Administration were sud-
denly eliminated today at the
instance of Robert P. Lamont,
president of the institute, and
with the concurrence of tn g
board Of the institute.
At the conclusion of a state
ment presenting the code, Hugh
S. Johnson, national recovery ad-
ministrator, raised the issue Of
the open shop provisions, at
which Lamont agreed that these
provisions could be eliminated
and after a short recess, at which
he presented the matter to his
associates, he returned with the
announcement that they would
be stricken from the code.
NU AGGAGuuG O0au&G
He emphasized, however, that
this did not imply a change of
attitude on the part of the steel
industry in the matter nor affect
the main labor provisions.
Secretary Frances Perkins, Of
the Labor Department, who fol-
lowed Lamont at the hearing,
congratulated him on his change
and announced that she would
omit her references to the open
shop in her statement.
Lamont said there are not suf.
ficient workers available in the
steel industry to permit normal
production on 40-hour week
basis, as prescribed in the new
code.
For 49-HOur Week
He intimated that a 49-hour
week would more nearly meet this
normal requirement. If opera
tions should exceed the average
of 1928-30, Lamond said, there
would be an acute labor shortage
in the steel industry. He said:
"The institute has assumed it
was imperative to establish such
maximum working hours per
week as would enable the indus
try as a whole to operate at o
fairly normal rate.
eve believe that an average
rate of the operations in 1929
and 1880 is fairly normal. The
average of the two years by the
81 reporting companies was 74.3
per cent Of capacity, which was
about equal to the rate for 1927.
"In these two years the re-
porting companies employed an
average of 341,654 employees,
who worked an average of 49.5
hours per week during this two
year period"
