prohibited under Anti Trust laws,
Heretofore, the principal aim of most
industries has been to control or sta
billie prices and to attain that In
dustry was willing to make oncesr
sions in regard to labor.
The Job of giving employment to
the 100000 "employables" by No
vember first meets difficulties and
the date has been advanced to the
fifteenth of next month, with the
Federal government continuing d.
rect relief in full force for the first
half of the month. While the Presi-
dent has approved WPA projects
costing $1,000, 000. 900 only slightly
more than one-third of this amount
was available in cash. The balance
was awaiting budget approval and 1t
will take, it Is said, about two weeks
for local administrators to provide
jobs after the funds are given them.
Another difficulty that confronts
contractors given projects Is the
scarcity of skilled workmen on re.
lief so that modified orders, In some
instances, permit these to be drawn
from outside sources. Official esti-
mates are that In the construction
field there are 655, 900 skilled and
$50, 900 unskiiled workmen and that
in other types of work there are
$4,000 ~semiskilled, 100, 1000 skilled,
10000 domestic, 355, 900 farmers.
345 900 'fwhite collar" and 100000 In
experienced. To fit these various pro-
iects has been quite an undertaking
and whether 1t can be successfully &C
complished will be seen between
now and next July, during which
time it is expected the WPA will
have spent its allotment at the rate
of $500 per employee.
Readers may be interested in re
viewing the status of the huge work
relief fund voted by Congress. To the
$4,S80, 600 900 was added a balance
from earlier funds making 1t alto
gether $4,000, 900 900 and from this
was taken $3.50, 900, 900 for the dole
and the CCC during the passage OF
the act. Present allotments aggre
gate within $3.50, 500,0 900 OF this sum
Contributions from local govern
ments are estimated at about $500,

the effort will amount to anything or
not can he answered only by future
developments.
Hearings have been called to con
slider the views of industry, labor
and consumers in regard to a pro-
gram for voluntary codes, which will
be supervised by the s~keletonized
NRA authority. The wholesale tobac-
co trade has already had a code ap-
proved and more than twenty agree
dments have been submitted to the
FTC for consideration. Congress
gave the President power to approve
agreements but provided that no In
dustry should receive exemption
from the Antitrust Laws except In
GALLEY THHEE WASH NEWS con
agreements covering labor questions
and those prohibiting unfair prac-
tees.
The feeling In industry is divided,
with much thought that there is lit
tie to be gained from the voluntary
codes inasmuch as the Government
has less TO offer to the makers OF the
voluntary codes that 1t was former
ly able to grant under the MIRA
agreements. Pointedly. there is no
way to grant immunity for practices
