JOHNSON FIRM
FOR HOURS GUT

The Government was definitely
set today upon the road to a 10
per cent reduction in hours and a
10 per cent increase in pay for the
workers.
Recovery Administrator Hugh
s. johnson made it plain at the
closing session Of the code au-
thorities assembled here that the
Government is firm in it's resolve
to obtain a "ten and ten" pact
with every industry that cannot
prove a legitimate exemption. He
said:
"There are some industries
that could not do what I tenta-
lively suggested about wages
and hours. There are some
where business is so little that, If
they did adopt the rule, it would
not make any difference to en-
plOyment.
But there are many that OBJ
viOusIy can meet the suggestion
to work on a 10 per cent decrease
in hours per week and q 10 per
cent increase in hourly wages.
The President expressly said he
favored resiliency in any such
rule"
