Southern Pine
Men Scrap Code
Many Pledge To Keep
Wage, Increase Hours

NEW ORLEANS. La. Tune 4.
UP)-The Southern Pine associ-
alton, which administered the lum-
Der code in II pine producing
states, yesterday abandoned all
code activities and appealed to
President Roosevelt to discard the
entire program of industrial regi-
mentation as means of bringing
the country back to prosperity.
Many lumbermen present pledg-
ed themselves to maintain the
wage schedule set under the code
but to increase hours of operation
from 40 to 48 hours a week. 9th
ers said they would continue the
40-hour schedule and other code
provisions until forced off by com,
petition.
E. L. Kurth, Keltys, Tex, pres
ident, urged that neither wage
nor hour provisions of the lum-
Der code be altered.
81 am confident, that with
Washington shackles removed, our
industry will move forward" he
said. "By maintaining the code
minimum wages and operating
not more than eight hours day,
we will procure better service
from our employees and the oper-
ating time will be sufficient to
produce all the lumber required
to fill our orders under normal
conditions.

yates of Drake university yester-
day they were entering life al
one of the most crucial periods
in American history with the
prospect of government hmlta-
tions on "your inspirations, your
incentives and your opportum-
ties"
The former president returned
to his native state to receive an
honorary degree of doctor OF laws
from Drake and principal speaker
in commencement exercises De-
fore 200 graduates and 1000 9TH
ers.
"Will government permit you
TO breathe the pure air OF liberty
in the spirit of the bill Of rights
he asked. "That is the thing you
have need to look out for. For
in this matter you enter life at
one of the most crucial periods
of American history"
His address was replete with in
direct reference to the Roosevelt
administrations new deal. He
challenged youth to repulse re-
strictions of individual freedom
through RECOMMENDATION.
"These God-fearing people
builded this state under freedom"
he said, mot under a political bu-
reaucracy that coded their daily
actions, limited the products of
their factories and their farms.
that told them they could or could
not start a new enterprise. They
fought the enemies of freedom,
both right and left"
He spoke of the daily JOY of
doing something worthwhile" and
said:
at is true old age and misfor-
tune deserve protection and that
the haunting fear of poverty
should be driven from among us.
1t may be that there are some
who, fearing completion in life,
wish for assurance from govern
ment of a routine job where they
advance by political favor or sem
iority and get a pension at the
end. There are some who really,
need that sheltered life ana
should have it.
"But that sort of people did
not make Iowa or make America.
And they don't know and never
will understand that the tea'
abundant life comes from ma atta,,
ing ones wits, ones e., ei9 !, act =,
