The recovery bill permits employ
ers in each industry to enter INTO
CO-operatiVc codes Of fair cOmpcll-
ton, agreeing on wage and Work
ing hour scales, total production
and prices. These codes are to be
enforceable by the government just
as laws are.
President Roosevelt has been i'm

that if 10 per cent of an industry
insists on hammering down labor
costs to try to underbid other firms,
the bost-ntentioned employers III
the world are forced to adopt lower
scales or to close their plants.
Employer agreements, ev n
though they stabilized employment
would be a serious menace TO WORK
ers if they were not accompanied
with safeguards. The national re-
