ital observers looked upon the meet

niflcance for future relations be-

administration.
After months Of negotiations. a
cigarette code was signed BY Pres
ident Roosevelt Sunday, prescribing
a 40-hour week with some eXcep-
tions and minimum wages ranging
from Is 10 40 cents an hour.
The Az. OF L. leadership crit
icized this code though not with
the tones of bitterness with which
il assailed Donald Richberg. presi-
dental. adviser, after the recent
renewal OF the automobile code.
For cigarettes, union labor wanted
a 36-hour week and minimum wages
ranging upward from IS cents an
