CHANGES IN n. R. A.
FAVORED BY GROUP
200 Lawyers, Educators,
Ministers and Social Work.
ers Petition Roosevelt.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 24-Recom-
mendations for overhauling N. r. A.
minimum wage provisions, for creating
national unemployment insurance
system, and for setting up Independent
labor and consumers boards. we're
submitted to President Roosevelt in
a statement made public last night
by nearly 200 lawyers, educators,
editors, ministers and social workers.
Oswald Garrison Willard, contribut-
ing editor of the Nation, said group
had presented the recommendations
to the President on April %, and that
some signatures had been added later
I'VE believe that the acid test of
the new deal lies in its effect on the
actual distribution OF the wealth which
the machine age creates, but which
we have yet to find the way to spread
out and USE" began the document.
Favors Labor Board.
I'VE recommend that prime charge
of the present Congress should be the
creation of labor board in the United
States Department of Labor, with full
power to safeguard the rights of
workers to organize and bargain
through representatives Of their own
choosing. -
I'VE believe that minimum wage
provisions under the N. r. A. need
overhauling We recommend
that the basic minimum rates shall be
tied up with the cost of living indices
of the Bureau of Labor statistics Of
the United States Department of
Labor, and should automatically be
required to rise with them.
I'VE believe that just as in the case
of the creation of the labor board,
there is need for an independent, out
side consumers agency of Govern
free hand in standing for the con-
sumers.
Jobless Insurance Favored.
Eve need to abandon our emer-
gency attitude toward unemployment
and first of all to build the Federal
State-city relief setup into an orderly
system of administration with ele-
mentS of permanent planning.
On the one hand, unemployment relief
administrations should be welded into
permanent system of public welfare
services. On the other hand, we
should institute a national system of
unemployment insurance.
I'VE believe that there should be
tie-up between the securities act and
the N. r. A, the control of capital
issues and the routing of Government
credit SO as to make these financial
policies a force for stabilizing en-
ployment and earnings.
The attacks on the securities act
and the construction to the stock
exchange bill by interests which have
axes to grind, prove the need for an
immediate. aggressive counterthrust
by the administration which will re-
store confidence among the people as
to the financial leadership Of the
Government.

PEPC0 RATE CUT
SEEN BY ROBERTS
Members Of Utilities Body Also
Forecast Reduction
Next Month.

The rates of the Potomac Electric
Power Co. will be reduced to some
degree next month when the annual
adjustment of rate schedules is made
on the basis of the sliding scale ar
rangement, it was predicted today by
members of the Public Utilities Com
mission and Peoples Counsel william
A. Roberts.
All declined to estimate how much
the rates would be cut, stating that
this would depend upon details Of
studies now being made by the COM
mission as to profits and costs of the
company during the present year.
II am definitely convinced there is
not the slightest justification for an
increase in rates for power, but on
the contrary the rates should be de-
creased by a substantial sum-" said
Mr.. Roberts
Under existing rule, rates cannot
be increased unless the rate of return
falls below 6.75 per cent of the
weighted average rate base for each
of two consecutive years or unless
it falls below 65 per cent of the rate
base for any consecutive 12-month
period"
He added that reports for the year
to date have not shown return be-
low 6.5 per cent.
Riley z. Elgen and Richmond B.
Keech, commission members, both
have expressed q belief that rates
would be reduced somewhat, but have
withheld any definite statement to
await completion Of the accounting
