NRA REPORTED AS PLANNING TO CO.
ORDINATE SEVERAL SERVICE CODES

President Roosevelt last May sus-
pended the fair trade practice stipula-
tons Of the approved group. Their
wage and hour regulations remained
compulsory. In recent months the
trades concerned have protested the
wage and hour provisions should be
lifted unless they are given compensat-
ing authority to have competition
guided by fair trade practice rules.
A solution may be found by permit
ting the industries to agree among
themselves on fair trade practices in
local trade areas and have such pro-
visions approved by the MIRA. So far,
however, only one such local code has
been approved-that for the shoe re-
pairers Of Washington, Ind.
Approved codes from which most Of
the complaints have been received in
cluded those for the advertising dis
play installation, advertising, distribu-
ting, cleaning and dyeing, bowling and
billiards, laundry, barber, hotel, shoe
rebuilders and motor vehicle storage
industries.
Trades in the unapproved code
group, still subject to the Presidents
Unemployment Agreement, include
Beauty shops, locksmiths, car adver-
Using, tourist camp, portrait, concrete
burial vault, cemetery, office and loft
building, night watchmen and riding
academy trades.

that small manufacturing cities in

ing a guaranteed supply Of cheap, do
Gle nonunion labor an drent-free, tax
free industrial sites to manufacturers
willing to leave the state, were made at
a recent meeting conducted by the
mayors Of Massachusetts shoe cities at
Gardner.
In some cases, these communities
have backed their offers with cash
bonuses financed from PWA funds,
and have promised not only that local
authorities will prevent trade u%nionists
from organizing workers, but have
bound themselves to guarantee any
losses caused by labor troubles result
ing from a lowering of wages Is per
cent to 80 per cent below those paid in
Massachusetts,, it was charged.
The meeting, called by Mayor j.
Fred Manning of Lyon, who presided,
voted unanimously in favor OF reopen
ing the code for the shoe industry. 1t
also went on record in favor of strict
enforcement OF the present code pend
ing desired changes.

Peoples Lobby Urges
Land Values Tax

WASHINGTON. - (FP) Point
ing out that the Mexican government
acquires much land for about one-fifth
of the asked price, Benjamin c. Marsh,
executive secretary of the Peoples
Lobby, who has just returned from
Mexico, urged Secretary of Interior
Ickes to call for a federal excise tax
of / per cent on land values to
cheaper the cost of land for housing,
subsistence homesteads and other pub
lie purposes.
Land spectators are the t%errorists
of the conference.-the against a real
new deal in housing" Marsh said
"The only way to reduce the selling
price Of land is to tax it more heavily"
The proposed land tax would yield
between $780, 100000 and $3.50, 100000 a
year, he estimates, saving the govern
ment at least $~15O,OOO,OO0 year on cost
of land acquired and reducing rents
for the nearly three-fifths of our peo-
pie who are tenants"

TEXTILE LABOR BOARD CONFIRMS THE
UNIONS CLAIM OF DISCRIMINATION

America, issued a statement in which
he referred to the decision in refuting
the contention Of George A. Sloan,
president Of the Cotton Textile Iusti-
tute, who recently declared the textile
strike "a failure" and painted a rosy
picture" for the industry.
Conditions in the cotton textile in
dustry are miserable, inexcusable and
precariously near intolerable.' Mr..
German said. "What I want to make
clear above all is that the union wants
peace, offers real cooperation, repeats
it again, but that it knows how to fight
and is perfectly willing to fight when
peaceful means fail. If we were not
strong believers in peace and coop
Grafton we should be forced to say that
there exists in the industry today ample
cause for another national strike and
one that would be settled on the bat
tle-field where fought and in no other

Automobile Workers
Annual Earnings Low
New Government Publication
Sets Forth Interesting Stats
tics concerning Wages in In
dustry.

Washington. -tGoevrnment figures
disclose that weekly earnings in the
automobile industry have been decreas-
ing substantially in the past months,
reaching an average of $l885 during
the month of September. This was
a decrease from an average weekly
wage of $500 during the previous
month, and also a substantial decrease
over the figure for the same month a
year ago. This is revealed in a re-
cent issue of the Labor Information
Bulletin, a new service provided by
the United States Department of La
boris Bureau of Labor Statistics, which
aims, in the words of Secretary Per-
kins, to give workers unbiased and
scientific information which covers not
only conditions in their own particular
industry, but also on the larger issues
affecting the welfare OF all labor and
the nation as a whole"
Weekly hours in the automobile in
dustry have dropped from 31.9 in Au-
gust to ISL in September, while hourly
earnings have risen from I'll cents to
ISL cents in the same months. These
figures are not very significant, how
ever, without taking into consideration
the tremendous drop in employment
which has occurred in the automobile
plants since the summer. For exam
pie, the hourly earnings in the auto
mobile industry are the highest of the
10 different classification used in the
Labor Information Bulletin, but in
weekly earnings the automobile indus
try ranks sixth. And if yearly earn
ings are estimated, the automobile in
dustry is one of the lowest of all, since
figures quoted by President Roosevelt
indicate that the yearly wage of the
average automobile worker is less than
5000 a year.
1t is hard economic facts such as
these, according to F. j. Dillon, A. f..
OF L. general organizer, which are driv-
ing the automobile workers into the
American Federation of Labor unions
in ever-increasing numbers.

Millions Of Workers Involved In
Several Trades Held Likely to
Be Affected.

WASHINGTON.-It is reported that
officials Of the National Recovery Adj
ministration contemplate early consid-
Grafton OF ~far-reaching changes in sew
eral codes coming under the general
classification Of Service codes" in
which several millions Of workers are
affected.
Through coordination Of these
codes, with the possibility of some con-
solicitations, it is hoped to reach a
greater uniformity of provisions which
may result in more effective enforce
ment. 1t is possible, also, that Code
Authorities may be given broader au-
thority to police their trades and i'm
prove compliance with the provisions
of the codes.
The service codes are divided into
two broad groups, including approved
pacts with mandatory wage and hour
provisions and unapproved codes with
voluntary wage and hour clauses. One
of the questions to be decided by the
administrative board is whether trades
in both classifications should be
placed on the same footing, with their
provisions uniformly mandatory OF
voluntary.

The Western Progressive has positive evidence that the vicious

of selfish corporations to defeat the will of the people at the
