M CASTER, who once stood on

men during the Civil War, would like
to celebrate her eightieth birthday an
niversary Saturday 'by cooking up a
mess for President Roosevelt"
The lively, gray-haired old lady said
yesterday her "egg-cooking has fallen
off little in the last 10 years or So"
and that she'd like to polish up a
bit in the new-fangled kitchen at the
White House"
Her father ran a hotel in Bristol,
Va. during the Civil War.
Miss Lancaster admitted she didn't
have a very clear-cut conception of
what the Yanks would look like, but
imagined they were pretty fearsome.
At any rate when they finally de-
scended into the town. Anna looked at
her mother and said, why, MON,
they're people!"
The officers demanded eggs, and
since most of the cooking force had
taken French leave Anna was pressed
into service.
At present, Miss Lancaster Is keep

and failures dropped Is percent from
1892.
Copies of the wholesale and retail
trade reports are said to be so few
they can be counted on less than the
number of fingers on one hand. The
wholesale report was prepared by a
special Investigator under direction of
the division of research and planning
of the old N. r. A. 1t was written
last April, just prior to the Executive
order of June Is, 1885, creating the
division of review in the Department
of Commerce for the study OF effects
of the N r. A. on industry and has
never been made public.
The report, preliminary in character.
was among records turned over to DR..
Leon Marshall, director of the Di-
vision of Review, IN connection with
the proposed studies. 1t is under
stood neither Secretary Roper nor
President Roosevelt has seen this re-
port.
The investigator found that in 1929
the wholesale trade employed Ali 900
workers. BY June, 1888. employment
in the trade had dropped to 277,000
workers.
Employment Rose Per Cent.
From June. 1888, until adoption of

ers, the report shows.
From January, 1884, to January,
1885. first year under the code, en-
ployment had increased only IL per
cent. or to $4,000 workers. In other
words. the upward trend in employ
ment leveled off noticeably after the
code became effective.
Although wholesale pay rolls showed
an index increase Of ST. per cent over
January, 1884, during first year of
code operation, there was. the report
asserts, an actual decrease of one
tenth of l per cent in the pay roll
index from September, 1888, to Feb
ruary, 1884.
During this first year of code regu-
lation of the wholesale industry, how
ever, the number of business failures
declined nearly one-tnlrd and total
liabilities in such failures decreased
approximately 40 per cent.
The investigator was severely criti-
cal of some of the code makers and
code enforcers.
Many Groups Not Participating.
He could find no record, he said,
to support claims that code-sponsor-
ing groups were Representative" nor
could he find why many properly in
terested groups were not participants
in the sponsoring"

In summary it was commented that

due in part, no doubt. to a seasonal
low" After that. however, it was
stated. the maximum increase in
employment over December, 1888, has
been seven-tenths of l per cent
The intent of the code Ito reduce
and relieve unemployment has not
been realized" it was declared.
I'm conclusion" the report said.
this investigator advances the opin-
ion. based upon evidence so far en-
countered, that these codes up to this
time have had little significant effect,
positive or negative, upon the trades
they were devised to regulate"
The retail story is brighter. The
report on the retail code. covering
100000 establishments with more
than million employees, tells Of gen.
eral increases in store sales and Of
rs per cent decrease from 1882 to
1884 in retail failures.
That the work of writing the his
tory Of the N. r. A. cannot be COM
pleted by April is certain, in view
of the fact that half the reports have
not been sreceived by the historians.
Some, 1t is said, will never be sub
mitted, as no one is working on re-
ports dealing with certain cogent
subjects. Although the President is

ready for use by the historians in
December, 1t is reported in reliable

claim is made they were unofficially
exempted from the code by verbal or
ders Of the division administrator ana
an assistant deputy administrator"
1t was noted that great pressure"
brought on the administration by re-
tailers resulted in executive approval
of price differentials in the whole
sale code, to be enforced by legal
lied boycotts Of manufacturers who
did not conform to the agreement"
So "obsessed" was Flint Garrison,
chairman of the code-sponsorlng
group. with the neeo Tor price dlt-
ferentials. the report points out,
that provisions embracing the differ
entail plan were drafted before at
tention was given to wages and hours.
The records of the N. r. A. indi-
cate, the report says. that passing
the buck was practiced from the date
Of approval of the tdifferentiaD pro-
vision" and that the administrative
personnel could have stated without
equivocation at the outset that the
provision was not to enjoy the good
repute the trade had anticipated"
There was, it was stated in the re-
port, such un-unanimity of agree
ment as to what constitutes whole
saler" that the trade was unable
to administer successfully the diff
ferential and sales consumer pro-
visions of the code.
Code provisions restricting con-
signment selling to retailers, the re-
port said, apparently went beyond
good administrative sense" and re-
tailers complained the provisions were
Threatening extinction of their busi-
nesses."
1t was observed that the code au-
thorities were so much engaged with
lobbying and propaganda campaigns
to attract sentiment for approval of
specific differential provisions" and
for other purposes, that they were
precluded from giving adequate atten-
ton" to their duties under the code.
The work week and hourly and
weekly wage provisions written into
the code, it was explained, were can
didly admitted In early conferences as
not expected to produce any appre-
ciable degree of unemployment or
affect prevailing pay rolls
There can be little doubt" the
report stated. that the decision to
codify the wholesale trade horizon
tally was costly one for labor. It
is matter of record that in a num-
ber of the divisions the proponents
of the original autonomous codes
came to Washington with more lib
eral hour and wage provisions than
labor finally received.
