 The principal sufferers from the order here will be the substitute clerk, whose number of working hours will have to be curtailcd somewhat, thus reducing their wages.
 MT Kelley pointed out that fur thcr orders direct from Washing ton may force changes in his plans. He has submitted his proposed schedules to post officials and is now awaiting their approval.
 It is understood that substitute postal workers in all parts of the country plan a general appeal to the public to support them in their fight for continued employment. Merchants and taxpayers will be asked to write to their congress- men and senator's 10 protest against lay-offs and curtailment of hours of work.
 One of the claims being advanc- cd by the substitutes is that the new rulings violate the spirit of the NRA by forcing regular workers to do more than their ordinary duties
 Postmaster Kelley said that every effort toward economy has been made at the local office and that the present working force is needed for efficient service. He pointed out that vacancies in reg ular carriers posts have not been filled, for the purpose of following the departments request for gen. cral economy.

LAWYERS ASKED
 TO COORDINATE
President of American Bar Ass0'n Talks to New
 Haven County Group

New Haven. Conn. March 8 - (UP) - Lawyers Of the country must coordinate their activities in a movement for q reJuvenated and united bar. Earle V. Evans, pres ldeNt of the American Bar Asso- citation declared here last night. Addressing members of the New Haven County Bar Association. Evans urged concentration on a four-point program adopted at Grand Rapids last summer which deals with the problems of crimi- nal law and it's enforcement; legal education and admissions to the bar; the unauthorized practice of the law. and selection of judges.
 Grave dangers confront citi- zens of the United States today" he said. and those duties are cer- tain to be presented to members of tho legal profession during this year with an insistence that cannot be denied. We believe that when we bring the lawyers of the coun- try together in this national bar program they will find means of coordinating their thought and action on all of these problems"

LABOR BOARD IN
 STRIKE MIDDLE
President Orders Members to Settle Up Shoe Strike
 at Haverhill, Mass

Haverhill, Mass. March 8-UP) On authority of President Roos- evelt, the New England regional labor board today had assumed jurisdiction in the strike of 600 Haverhill shoe workers. Although 28 smaller plants had signed agreements with the United Shoe and Leather Workers Union, the Manufacturers' Board of Trade, controlling the major part of shoe factories here. refused to meet union demands.
 The labor board had called a mediation meeting between union and manufacturers' representatives at Boston Saturday. As q result there appeared little likelihood that the strikers would return to work before next week. The strik- CTS went out last Monday after company officials had refused to sign an agreement whereby wages would be increased proportionally to the cost of living. It was con- tended that the union had submit- ted different agreements in other Massac achusetts and New Hampshire shoe centerS

FATHER MIGHT
 SPRING TRAP

Jackson, Miss, Mar. 8-UP)- The Mississippi house today took up bill that would give the father of the white girl victim of assault by three negroes the right to spring the trap when the attackers are hanged on March 16.
 The bill passed the senate yes- terday, over the protests of Sen ator Wilmington who declared thta i've ought not to go on record as authorizing person of this state to hang another person for personal reasons"
 Mississippi law now permits d sheriff to delegate any citizen of his county to carry out the duty of hangman. The negroes are to be hanged in DeSoto county and the father lives in another county. The bill authorizes the sheriff to appoint any citizen of Mississippi. Sentaor Richardson, tis author, pledged himself to ask its repeal the day after the executions.

Codes Abolish Worst
 OfMdustriaZ Abuses
Home Work, One of the Most Fragrant Abuses Now in
 Practice, to Cease After June

Washington. March S-Codes of fair competition as approved for the pleating, stitching, and hand embroidery, stay manufacturing, and other industries, abolish all home work-one of the most wide spread abuses of industry after June 1 next. In some instances. 1t was disclosed, home workers in the first-named trade were paid as lit- tie as cents an hour. Pending abolishment. prices for articles made by home workers shall be determined on the basis of q min mum hourly rate of 35 cents.
 Discussing this phase of the em- broidery industry in his letter trans uniting the code to President Roosevelt. General Johnson wrote in part as follows:
 There can be no question that home work as carried on in the embroidery industry is a source of disaster in any attempts at organ fzing stable industry. Evidence was offered at the public hearing and in the conferences to show that hand workers were paid as little as cents an hour and that the highest rate paid for home work by ' repu- IdUic IHdIuIHcIuTeTS was cents an hour, and these rates were for embroidery requiring years of training and the utmost skill and artistry.
 "On work requiring q less degree of skill or in preparation of work of high skill, when work is taken to the home, the children of the household are employed in most of their spare hours. The impossibility of any cost-accounting control or price-cutting prevention under such conditions is sclf-evident. The abolishment of home work was, therefore, decided by an over whelming majority in the industry, notwithstanding great difficulties in readjustment that will be faced by every member of the industry.
 "1t was estimated at the public hearing by some of the employers who were sponsors of the code that there are about 10000 home workers in this industry, but upon examination of the list of home workers, names were found to be repeated. Checking all available
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-03-08

r sources of information, 10000 home workers would undoubtedly be q generous estimate of those on call at any one time. It is particu- larly important to point out that the foregoing does not mean that 10000 home workers are employed at any ono time but merely on calP."
 Approval of this code was sub ject to a condition that the code authority make complete and detailed study to determine whe- thcr the minimum wages provided for are in fact tending to become maximum wages and that the re- suit of this study be reported to the administrator within 60 days after the code became effective, with recommendations for the continuation, elimination, or modi- fication of any or all of the wage rates provided"
 The code provides 35-hour week and normal work day of ' hours. The minimum wages is 35 cents an hour. The reduction in hours will absorb the estimated number of all unemployed factory workers in the trade. It Is calculat- ed the pay roll increases will amount to 50 percent.

.SWEATSHOPS IN
 CONN NOT DEAD
Garment Workers to GO on Strike Is Statement
 of John J. Egan

Bridgeport. Conn, March B. (UP)-A statc-wi strike of gar ment workers in protest Of "sweat- shop wages" is inevitable" John j Egan, secretary of the Connec- ticut Federation of Labor said to- day.
 '"rhe sweat shops still exist and we intend to wipe them out" de- clared Egan. Many concerns pro- fess to be working under the pres Idents agreement or under codes, but the truth of the matter is that conditions haven't improved and women and children still are work ing long hours for next to nothing.
 Mass meetings were held in several cities last night, he said and we're just marking time un- til we can lay the proposition be- fore the employers and try and get them into line"
 Bernard Schub. state head Of the International Garment Workers Union, said he received report that several girls received only $4.50 for 40 hours work. Besides the evil of long hours and miserable pay envelopes" he said. i've hope to abolish home work" It was estimated between 1900 and 2O00 persons would be called out.

Reducing The Debt

Washington, Mar. 8 --(UP)-- Teh federal government sought to- day to refund 1000 of ma" turing 3-4 per cent short term cer- tificates of indebtedness with long CT term year 3 per cent notes as a part of Secretary of Treas ury Henry Morgenthaus policy of reducing the heavy floating gov ernment debt.
 Maturing on March 15 are $4G0,- 099,000 of 3-4 per cent 9-month certificates. These securities will be accepted for subscription to- the new securities.
 The relatively high interest rate on the refunding issue is account ed for by their longer maturity and the issue was considered in some quarters as a test of the ability of the government to borrow large additional sums at relatively long maturities.
 The March financing did not provide for the borrowing of any thew money" as had been ru- mored. Despite the huge $5,050.- 00O,O00 cash treasury balance, it had been expected that still more money would be borrowed.

"i'm not so sure whether any uf us appreciate the Fundamental economic conditions which face the world and in their reaction, af- fest us," Hull said.
 My opinion is that, while the American people have been versed through tradition to the ideals of representative government, we arc seeing despotism and dictatorship spring up abroad overnight.
 My observation has been that the handspring to revolution has been the thousand of unemployed. We are not going to fall into that, from those headlong movements"
 "The whole world is in a hard knot as far as trade IS concerned said Hull. What we would attempt to do Is to keep nations from choking to death"
 Would this policy affect reven- ues?" asked Rep. Allen T. Tread way. repn., Mass.
 'I think that if the world con- tinues under present trade condi- tions there won't be enough rev enues left to quibble about said Hull.
 Treadway contended there were constitutional restrictions which would make questionable the del- egation to the president of broad tariff powers.
 "When such an exigency exists as one of the present magnitude, 1t justifles delegation of powers which congress might ordinarily refuse" replied Hull.
 "Is there any connection be- tween this program and foreign debts?" asked Rep. John W. Me- Cormack, dem, Mass.
 "None whatever" replied Hull, "except that 1t is designed to re- store trade and of course with such restoration nations would be bet ter able to pay"
 Hull pointed out that most other governments had power to grant reciprocal tariff favors. He said that unless the American govern ment were granted similar powers 1t would be most difficult to open new markets for American prod ucts or even to maintain existing ones.
 Hull assured the committee that the administration would not rush 
 agreements with other nations He { said congress would be given ann pie time and opportunity to re- view these agreements.
 While naturally no detailed plans and methods relative to the proposed negotiations have been formulated" Hull said, "it can be stated with emphasis that each trade agreement undertaken would be considered with care and eau tion. and only after the fullest con sideration of all pertinent informa- ton. Nothing would be done bind ly or hastily"
 Hull said the "most favored na- ton" doctrine would be continued.
 There. would be no occasion. therefore for the Announcement of existing treaties before our govern mcnt could proceed with negotin- tions," he said. The United States
