FEW RESPONSES MADE IN DRIVE
TO CUT HOURS, RAISE WAGES
But Those Made Are Fav.
orable, Survey by Press
Indicates

CHICAGO, March 16.-(UP).
The national administrations
drive to reduce hours and in
crease wages has met but few re-
sponses this week in industrial
centers, but those few answers
were favorable, it was indicated
today following a survey.
The administration issued q
plea last week through Gen. Hugh
S. Johnson of the NRA that in
dustries adopt a bold. fiat policy
of reducing working hours 10 per
cent and at the same time raise
wages by a similar percentage.
This generally was considered
as a big order for many indus
tries and the concensus was that
the result would be a compromise.
Leaders of big business in most
industrial centers either refused
to comment or said that they had
not yet decided what to do about
the proposal.
Some favorable responses al
ready have been noted, however,
in compliance either in full or IN
part in certain industries.
Among the concrete results OF
the drive was a request by the
National Automobile Chamber Of
Commerce for member firms to
reduce hours to SO a week, effec-
tive March 81, and increase hour
ly wage scales. About 10000
workers would be affected if this
request were met in full.
In st. Paul, the Seeger Re-
frigerator Co., announced that it
would increase the wages of 1000
employees 10 per cent. The blanket
increase will mean $4,000 addi-
tional in payrolls monthly. No re-
duction in working hours is pro-
vided for. The workers now are
on duty SO hours weekly. A year
ago this company employed only
$50 persons.
Another st. Paul industry which
announced that it was making
every possible effort to comply
with the administration plea was
General Mills, Inc. President
James Bell said that the company
was cleaning over backwards" in
an effort to support the presi-
dents program. ANY definite an

EIGHT OF II COAST GUARD

All the bases abandoned are
those out of which coast guard
vessels have operated. No airplane

The cut in the number of bases

Equipment and stores at points
given up probably will be removed
to the other bases remaining in

Would Modify Call
For Higher Wages
And Shorter Days

WASHINGTON, Mar. Is (UP)
The special committee for con-
sumers' industries. appointed to
study and report on Recovery Adj
ministrator Hugh S. Johnson's
twelve point program for the
NRA, urged last night that short
er hours and higher wages be ap-
piled only to industries able to
stand the additional strain.
Blanket imposition of the pro-
gram by executive order would
be regarded as an arbitrary ex-
ercise of authority" the commit
tee reported. Instead, the COM
mittee urged that each industry
submit information necessary to
determine how far it can reduce
hours and raise pay.
The committee urged control
to prevent undue price increases
and pointed out that price COM
petition leads to lowering of Ia
Dor standards. The nearest APP
proach to a rule on price fixing,
the committee said. was recogni-
ton "of the propriety of some
price control features in some
codes"
The committee found no cause
for serious concern over COM
plants of monopoly and injury to
small industries. 1t urged more
rigid compliance enforcement,
with improved machinery and
fines for violators. Proposals for
labor representation on code au-
thorities were attacked on the
ground that the authorities were
designed to represent manage
ment, and that labor particip2-
ton would result in antagonism.

MAY ASK F. R.
TO MEDIATE IN
STRIKE THREAT
Recovery Program Facing
Adversities in Labor
Disturbances

WASHINGTON, Mar. 16 (UP)
The presidents recovery program
moved into heavy seas today,
threatened by widespread labor
disturbances and strong opposi-
ton to a uniform 10 per cent in
crease in wages and reduction in
hours.
Indications were the president
himself would be appealed to in
an effort to avert what was de-
scribed potentially as ''the worst
strike the country has ever seen"
in the automobile industry. The
Seriousness of the threatened auto
strike was increased by the likeli-
hood that once started the dis
turbance would spread to the
steel industry.
The strike threat moved nearer
today when the national labor
board concluded a two-day hear
ing of charges of American Fed
Grafton of Labor eXecutiv rs
against large automobile manu-
facturers including General Mo-
tors and the Hudson Motor Co.
The manufacturers flatly re-
fused to recognize or deal with
the A. F. of L. and challenged
the authority of the labor board.
Recovery Administrator Hugh S.
Johnson stepped into the breach
with personal negotiations be-
tween labor and company officials
without apparent effect. Should
his efforts fail. the only resort
would be the Intervention of the
president.
The labor unions indicated they
would ask their members to walk
out on strike Tuesday unless the
matter is adjusted.
