POWER TO FIX
LOWEST WAGE

Roosevelt Also Wants Jail
Penalties Eliminated for
Code Violators
QUALIFICATION AS TO
LEGISLATION IS GOAL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. CUP
President Roosevelt today called
upon congress to clarity the OBJ
scure provisions of and to extend
the NRA for two years.
He asked that the right of EN-
ployes to bargain collectively BE
fully protected" and called for
the maintenance of the govern
ment's right to establish minimum
wage standards, minimum hours,
fair competition, and asked for
more adequate application of the
nati-trust laws.
The President also asked con-
gress to eliminate Jail penalties
for code violations.
"The fundamental purposes and
principles of the National Recov-
cry Act are sound; to abandon
them is unthinkable," the message
said, adding that this "would spell
return to industrial and labor
chaos"
The President recommended re-
tention of:
/. Voluntary submission to
codes;
2. Clothing the government with
power to fix minimum fair COM
petition standards;
3. Government powers, fixing
standards of labor rela-
tons;
a. Elimination of child labor;
5. Minimum wages, maximum
hours features;
6. Employees right to bargain
collectively
Monopoiies and price fixing in
private industries must not be al
lowed, the President said, but he
that some form of price
control was necessary for natural
resources and industries.
"The people Of the United
States need government supervi-
sion of these resources devised
for the purpose of eliminating
waste, controlling output and sta
employment in Them" he
said.
