|PR|S0N LABOR CODE
SETS 4O-HOUR WEEK
Minimum Wages Are Omitted
in N. R. A. Program for
State Institutions.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Maximum working hours but no mini
mum wages are recommended to the
N. r. A. for prison labor.
Instead of minimum pay levels
which have been written into every
Blue Engle agreement to date, a COM
mittee representing State prison
boards proposes that production costs
include the same labor charges per unit
as prevails in similar private production.
But the prison workers would be put
on a 40-hour work week and sales at
less than production costs would be pro-
hibited. Prison officials say this ar
rangement would be fair to industry,
fair to the public and fair to the
prison."
Tie code for prison labor was pre-
sented to Gen. Hugh S. johnson yester-
day. 1t had been worked out by a
committe representing prison boards OF
80 States, and will be formally pre-
sented to Gen. johnson when it has
been acted upon by all 48 States. The
general opinion of its advocates was:
1T is a definite step forward in the
solution of the battling problem OF
prison labor, fair to industry. fair to
the public and fair to the prison.
1T eliminates any possibility Of de-
pressing the standards and working
conditions of private employers, pre-
serves to the States the right to use
their most potent regenerative agency
in the administration Of their prisons
and gives the public assurance that
those who violate their laws will not
be maintained in idleness at the ex-
pense Of the taxpayer"
Approval of the code. the States
spokesmen said. would bring prison
labor into active cooperation with the
recovery program and would minimize
the probability of ''the adoption OF
more drastic codes" by various indus
tries that would prohibit markets tc
all prison made goods
The code would prohibit sale at less
than production cost and would re-
quire that labor charges per unit bt
the same as for like goods made by
outside industry. with the statement
that this was done SO prison product:
would compete for markets fairly and
equitably"
