Other day-to-day developments may steal the headlines, yet the question still uppermost in the minds of the plan-makers at Wash ington is what to do about unem- ployment
 When they arrived at the scene a year ago, the Roosevelt econo- mists put first emphasis on farm relief. They saw an increased farm purchasing power as the key to recovery. They still are strong for that, but a combination of cir- cumstances has shifted the real center of gravity elsewhere
 When winter closed in, it was seen that after all the average farmer was managing to get along

BANNERS CODE FORWARD STEP,
 WADE ASSERTS
Analyzes Chan ges for Chamber-Lowers Hours
 of Work and Raises Pay

The salmon canners code, for warded to Washington for approv- al, lis decided step forward and as far as the coming season is concerned it will add to employ ment and the purchasing power of those employed, will stabilize the market for the packers and give them an opportunity in the future to increase wages and lower work ing hours still further" said Hugh A. Wade, Deputy MIRA Adminis- trator for Alaska, in talk before the Chamber of Commerce today.
 He drew attention to the chang es made in the tentative code as a result of the weeks hearings last month in San Francisco. He said he did not expect it would be approved exactly as submitted as most codes are changed before given final sanction.
 Was Difficult Task
 Although he aided in drafting a number of codes in Washington before his assignment to Alaska, all in all, he said, the salmon code is the most difficult in his eXper- fence. It was complicated ser iously by the widely divergent conditions prevailing in the sev- eral districts of Alaska, and by the fact that the industry is so highly seasonal.
 It was not possible, he said, to get the industry to agree to every thing that was desired, in so far as Alaska labor was concerned. No overtime could be obtained for To- cal labor employed on an hourly basis. The industry declined to include the provision, urged by Delegate Dimond, to permit the employment of minors between IA and 16 years of age at light la bor for not more than eight hours day.
 We fought for a provision for the protection of independent fish, ermen, but without success" he said As submitted, it carries no such provision He was satisfied, he said that the fishermen ought to be assured of a minimum price for fish before he started the sea- son, but that could not be obtained
 48-HOur Week
 For shore employed, except in emergency periods, a 48-hour week is established. This includes per- sons engaged in the preparation of gear prior to the fishing sea- son, and for clearing up the plant after the close of the season.
 Wage rates remained unchanged, 35 cents per hour where board and lodging are not provided and 25 cents with board and lodging Overtime for employees engaged principally within cannery build ing and regularly receiving less than $70 per month with board and lodging furnished are to be paid overtime at not less than 25 cents per hour after the first 10 hours work in any "A.
 The minimum rate, paid last season, MT. Wade said was Is cents. Thus the increase in that rate is 20 cents. For higher paid labor, he said, a provision was written into the code providing that the same differential between the
