MARCH WILL SEE ACTION

Washington. Feb. 12.-tFe1he
NRAs ambition, so far as its 'cut-the-
hours" drive Is concerned, Is believed
to be q 36-hour rather than q S2-hour
week.
General Hugh 8. Johnson's repeat
ed urging Of the shorter work week
was explained by persons close to NRA
Monday as sort Of decoy. A DELHI
crate overshooting Of the administra-
ton mark Is believed designed, In part
to give the administration margin
with which to work for compromise
at the 36-hour figure.
The official word on the subject
probably will not be heard until March
5. The code authorities meet here
on that date In the first assembly Of
industrial government to consider re-
vision and improvement Of the NRA
program.
The 36-hour week, 1t Is understood
would be accompanied by q 10 PEI
cent increase In minimum pay. EN-
ployees now working 70 hours ct u
cents an hour would receive - cents
for So hours or approximately the
same total wage, with more men on
the payroll.
