j. s. MAY EXTEND
STRIKERS RELIEF
Hopkins Indicates Govern
ment to Consider Men
Simply as JobIess.

Federal funds for the support Of
strikers and their families may be ex-
tended for the first time in history
as a new governmental policy in in
dustrial relations in event the threat
ened strike of 250000 auto plant
workers materializes tomorrow in
Detroit.
Relief Administrator Harry L. Hop
kins made it clear yesterday in a press
conference that the administration
would grant relief to the auto strik-
ers and their families where needed
unless the National Labor Board and
the Department of Labor declared the
strike to be unWarranted.
Refuse to Judge.
1t is not the business of the relief
administration to endeavor in any
way to pass upon the merits of any
labor dispute, he said, adding that
his attitude toward strikers would be
the same as toward any other class
in need Of relief.
Hopkins did not discuss any further
the broad questions of policy enter
ing into such relationships but in
.dicatfd that this new form Of gov
ornamental support would be furnished
if and when conditions merited it.
The Government attitude in this
respect is being closely followed by
A. F. of L. leaders who see in 1t new
weapon to bring into play in future
strikes bearing the mark Of legality.
S12 Weekly Aid.
Under such policy, it was as
sumed that strikers would be given
emergency work or relief Just the
same as though they were on the
regular unemployed list, when they
offer evidence of actual need. Only
one bread winner in a family can be
given employment relief under the
new set-up after March 81, and Hop
kins estimates that the 24-hour "a
week work program means an aver
age wage Of Sl2 week in cities. This
is about the same weekly amount now
given under direct relief
With Federal relief funds utilized
for the support Of strikers in actual
need, labor leaders could maintain a
"walk-out" Indefinitely. In other
circles, Hopkins policy, If approved
and carried out, would be regarded
undoubtedly as lending governmental
encouragement to strikes.

PRICE SEEN
UNDERSTEELC CODE
U. S. Trade Body Reports
Industry Control Secured
by Larger Units.
BY the associated Press.

BY the associated Press.
The Federal Trade Commission re-
ported to the Senate today that the
N. R. A. code for the iron and steel
industry had insured its control by
the larger units, had caused price
fixing and produced violations OF
commission ORDERS.
These statements were made by the
commission in reply to Senate reso-
luton requesting an investigation Of
the steel code with reference to price
fixing, price rises and other effects
of the code.
Report From Survey.
In a general survey, the commits
sion said the distribution of voting
power among members of the code
is such as to insure control by the
larger producing interests"
The price system of the code was
said to be in violation of the 1924
order of the commission. This for
bade the use of basing-point prac-
tics which provided that prices should
be based on one or more shipping
points regardless of whether the
products actually were manufactured
at such point, and that freight could
be added from such basing point re-
gardless of where it was shipped from.
The price system was said further
TO tend TO eliminate the small enter
prise not located at the basing point
by requiring it to charge the same
amount for freight on deliveries in its
immediate vicinity as if the products
had been in fact shipped from the
basing. point which is commonly a
point at which mills of large competi-
tors are located"
Duluth Mill Cited.
The commission cited as an exam
pie steel mill which is located in
Duluth that must charge its local Gus
toners the uniform mill base price
charged by other mills in its district
and, in addition, $3.50 per ton-the
freight rate from Chicago, which is
not paid at all.
The commission, reserving the right
to issue formal complaints If It de-
Sires, pointed out that the national in
dustr1al recovery act provides "for
means to pursue effectively paths
demonstrated to be sound and desir-
able"

Cite Savings Statement.
Continued From First Page.)

1--WE note your reference to life in
surance companies and savings banks,
that statement addressed directly to
those Of the public no have deposits
in savings banks and who have life
insurance policies.
"You have not said so in so many
words, but there can be no question
Of the implication you intend to con-
vey that a discontinuance OF the wage
reduction on July /, 1884, will In some
manner undermine the integrity of
savings banks and life insurance
companies.
In this case, the implication you
have conveyed is unfortunate and un-
justified. To give wide publicity to a
statement questioning the integrity Of
these financial institutions at a time
when national recovery is well begun,
but when the forces of the depression
are not yet completely conquered. is
an unwise subordination of public
welfare to the desire Of the railway
security owners to maintain existing
railway wage reductions.
"In the ranks of these railway labor
organizations there are hundreds Of
thousands of men and women with
life insurance policies; their number
is fewer today than it has been and
their policies will average much less,
but in their names we must protest
against your statement.
Inaccuracy Charged.
Nothing that can possibly happen
as a result OF any wage settlement
can have so destructive an effect
upon the life insurance companies of
the country as the wide dissemination
of the unwarranted statement con-
tanned in your reply.
Your reference to the philosophy
of our position Is not quite accurate.
Our philosophy was given in our
statement of March II in words far
clearer than we might have been able
ourselves to devise, when We quoted
the President of the United States as
saying:
mo one is opposed to sensible and
reasonable profits, but the morality of
the case is that a great segment of
our people are in actual distress and
that as between profits first and hu-
manity afterward and humanity first
and profits afterward we have no room
for hesitation -
In the belief that 1t might be
possible to avoid controversy at this
time, We have thus far refrained
from requesting the increase in basic
rates of pay amply justified by cur
rent economic developments.
If you are determined to prosecute
the controversy you have instituted,
any reason for deferring our request
is removed.
Accordingly. we request that you
consider this as a counter proposal
and as formal notice Of our desire to
increase basic rates of pay by 10 per
cent effective on and after July !,
1884"

Credit Proposal.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Democratic leaders saw today a rea-
sonably clear path ahead for Presi-
dent Roosevelt's plan to create IL new
banks, dedicated to pouring $780,
100000 more capital into small in
dustrteS.
A bill to set up the new banking
system, with one institution In each
Federal Reserve district. will be con-
sidered tomorrow by the Senate Bank
ing Committee. A similar House group
also expects to start work almost i'm
mediately.
Stresses Need for Relief.
A need for Immediate relief" for
"the medium sized man" in business
was stressed by Mr.. Roosevelt. Even
before this call reached the Capitol
yesterday bills to carry It out were
ready for introduction in both cham
bers.
Submission Of the Presidents plan
was expected to toss overheard pro-
posal by which the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation also would make
loans direct to industry.
Chairman Jesse H. Jones Of the
r. F. G. submitted 1t last week. Mr..
Roosevelt subsequently told newspaper
men he had never seen the proposal.
Gov. Black Of the Federal Reserve

apparently to forestall committee

Urges Early Consideration
of Creation of Credit
Banks for Industry.
~RESIDENT ROOSEVELTS let
. ter, sent to the House and
Senate Banking Committees

@RESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S let
- ter, sent to the House and
Senate Banking Committees
i yesterday, recommending Gre
alton of credit banks for In
dustry, follows:
May I suggest to your committee
legislation to create IL credit banks
for industry.
"I have been deeply concerned with
the situation in our small industries.
In numberless cases their working
capital has been lost or seriously de-
pleted. This condition should be
remedied.
I'VE have afforded much aid in the
recovery of agriculture, commerce,
our larger industries and our financial
institutions, and our improved condi-
ton nationally furnishes full 1usti-
fication for these efforts. We must
continue In behalf Of the medium size
man in industry and commerce.
with this purpose In mind. have
discussed with the Treasury and the
Federal Reserve Board, and the Re-
construction Finance Corporation, a
comprehensive study OF the situation
In the smaller industries and the
presentation Of a plan which would
show their condition and furnish relief
for 1t.
Results Of Survey.
"a Nationwide survey has been
made by them. Information has been
obtained from 1883 banks and l,066
chambers of commerce covering three
points: First, the probable amount OF
working capital required now by
smaller industries; second, the num-
Der Of employees who would be re-
tained by these industries If working
capital is afforded them, and third.
the number Of new employees that can
be taken on by them through such
supply Of working capital.
Estimates on this survey indicate
that approximately s70O,OO0,000 OF
such working capital is required: that
such working capital may continue In
employment some $4,000 employees
and may furnish new employment tc
some $4,000 men and women.
while these estimates in their
nature cannot be definite and must
be considered as estimates only, they
indicate the urgent need of these
small industries for working capital
Asks Early Consideration
"The administration will be glad
TO furnish you such information and
assistance as you may desire in order
to set up the machinery to supply
this need.
The details will be presented to
you, but desire to call attention to
two prominent features: First, the
matter Of caring for the small or
medium size industrialist; second, the
control of the proposed banks by di-
rectorates, majority Of which will
themselves be induStrialiSts.
Il will appreciate early considera-
ton by your committee and by the
Congress, as I feel that the situation
disclosed calls for immediate relief and
that such situations as can be re-
lieved through the medium OF work.
ing capital should have our earnest
support.
