NRA' SEXPERTS
Think SLASH
NECESSARY
Code Placed Before Johnson;
Spring Boom Seen Doomed
Unless Unions ReIent

A showdown on one phase Of
the Federal Governments elab-
crate plan to guarantee a nation
wide building boom. to begin early
next year, was due today when the
master code for the construction
industry is laid before Recovery
Administrator Hugh S. johnson.
The building trades division Of
the American Federation of Labor
is prepared to fight to the last
ditch any attempt to force from
the trades unions 6. binding agree
ment to reduce existing wage
scales 10 or 20 per cent.
Private Credit Needed
Experts of the NRA research
and planning division in a special
survey have found that the now
virtually extinct construction in
dustry cannot expect any revival
until 1887 or 1888 unless the Fed
eral Government can guarantee
boom that will attract private
credit.
Present production costs of
building must be lowered to OBJ
tain a sizable flow of credit into
the field early next year, the ex-
perts contend.
The chief item in production
costs is labor-labor involved in
the production of building ma
terials and erection. Nearly 1,50O,-
900 persons, most of whom are
now unemployed, depend on con-
Struction activity for their liveli-
hood.
Want Workers to Help
The NRA experts contend that
if the Federal Government is will.
ing to guarantee a building boom
to begin next year-a boom that
will put large numbers of un-
employed carpenters, masons,
plumbers and electricians back to
work-the workers should be will
ing to help guarantee low produc-
ton costs.
Under the plan the producers of
building materials will be asked
to guarantee lower prices. but
their ability to accept this pro-
poSal depends on the acceptance of
wage reduction by workers.
Trades unions officials contend
the NRA's duty to all workers is
to raise wages as we'll as create
unemployment. Under codes for
all other industries this dual pur-
pose has been recognized by the
recovery administration.

Justice Peyton Gordon will
place the case in the hands of

were straightforward and honest.
He claimed the prosecutions

guilty verdict.

Greatest Artists of

Says Painter
By RILLA SCHROEDER

Having passed through a detl-
nitely mechanical age, the world
is on the verge of a spiritual and
artistic rebirth, thinks Gladys
Milligan, art director of the Ma
tional Cathedral School for Girls.
Miss Milligan, whose water
color, cat Gloucester" is receiv-
ing high praise at the Argent Gal
leries exhibit in New York, be-
lieves the new era will produce
the greatest artists of all times.
The realm of art, she says, has
heretofore been exclusively mas
culine. The feminine viewpoint
has been entirely overlooked The
combination of the two will mean
better pictures and finer artists.

generation of artists the preju.

The fact that the President had
spoken clearly about a comparatively

not save him from misunderstanding
yet people who were not at all sure

that they were glad he had spoken.
He had not, in fact, reassured the
timid; but he had, as always, excited
the country.
In the present state of our heart,

VIRGINIA APPLE
CROP LARGE

Frederick County, Virginia,
ranks sixth among the counties
Of the nation in apple-growing. it
was revealed today by figures

Census. The figures are based
on the 1880 census.
Virginia has 8 counties among
the first so, equal to the number
Of New York counties. The third
State in number of apple-growing
counties is Washington, but the
Washington crop is probably larg-
est of all the States, since it's two
leading counties have a tremen-
dous lead on all other counties
in size of harvest and value of
crop.
Only one Maryland county,
Washington, is among the first
so. Virginia counties in the list
are Frederick, Albemarle. Au.
