to Come Before N. R. A.
Official.

The code of fair competition for
the land development and home

Announcement of the hearing, to
be held before Deputy N. r. A. Ad-
ministrator Keith S. McHugh in the

Recovery Administration.
The code to be considered was pre-
pared by the Land Developers and
Home Builders division of the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards. of which w. Waverly Taylor.
local realtor, is chairman.
It defines the industry as "the de-
velopment of land as building sites
for purposes of sale or lease and
the sale or lease thereof, including
maintenance prior to or incident to
such sale or lease; and the building
of one and two family homes for the
PuIpOSc VI SdlC VI 4CdoC dAlo I1AC oniC
or lease thereof, including mainte-
nance, remodeling or repair thereof
prior to or incident to such sale or
lease"
Member Of Industry"
The term member of the indus
try" as used in the proposed code,
would include any individual, part
| nership, association, corporation or
other form Of enterprise engaged in
the industry "as owner in whole or in
, part for himself or itself but not as
| contractor"
The code would establish a maxi
mum work-week Of 40 hours and
minimum weekly compensation Of not
less than sl2 to SIS, depending on
the population of the city, for salaried
employees. Unskilled labor would be
paid not less than 40 cents an hour.
Certain classes are exempted from

| outside salesmen, solicitors, collectors
or rental men whose Office duties re-
| quire less than Is hours a week,
watchmen and employees in establish
ments employing not more than two
| persons in towns of less than $500
| population.

Most of the nine members of the
Code Committee are expected to at
tend the hearing. Hugh Potter Of
Texas, president of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards
and past chairman of the Land De-
velopers and Home Builders division,
expects to be present.
I'VE expect little opposition to the
code to develop" Mr.. Taylor declared,
since we have incorporated in it tried
and proved practices, which have
been almost universally approved.
Many are contained in State licensinf
acts and others are in the national
associations code of ethics
If the proposed draft is found to
be defective in any detail, post
conference will be held between the
Code Committee and N. R. A. officials
and adjustments will be made. The
code then will be submitted to Ad-
miniStrator johnson for approval.
| According to Mr.. Taylor, it is de-
signed to lay greatest emphasis on a
fair deal for the public.
