Injunction Halls Wage
Law in Citrus Belt

BY the Associated Press.
TAMPA, Fla, July 6.-Federal
Judge Alexander Alderman yesterday
granted temporary injunction
hating enforcement of the Federal
wagehour law in the Florida citrus
industry.
The injunction was asked by CO.
operative shippers, independent ship
pers and Gamers, who requested the
entire citrus belt be declared free
from control of Wage Hour Admin
istrator Elmer F. Andrews.
The suit was an attack on Mr..
Andrews Interpretation of the wage
hour law as it applied to the citrus
industry. 1t was not an attack on
the law itself.
Mr.. Andrews held that only pack
ing and processing plants in the
country or in towns of less than
$500 population which receive fruit
from within 10 miles should be ex-
empt from the law. This excluded,
the fruitmen commended. most units
of Florida's packing and processing
industry, many of which are in the
larger citrus centers and draw fruit
from wide area.
A hearing will be held sometime
in the fall.

Mills Deny Lower
Living Costs in South
Justify Wage Rise
Gov. Rivers to Be Called
As Witness at
Andrews Hearing
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, July 6.-Opponents of
proposed 3212 cent minimum wage
for the textile industry sought today
to show that lower living costs in
the South do not warrant an appli-
cation of the minimum to Southern
cotton mill workers.
w. M. Adamson. statistician of
the Bureau of Business Research,
University of Alabama, arranged to
continue his testimony laid before
Wage-Hour Administrator Elmer
Andrews yesterday that the South
ern worker received much less than
the worker of the North, but enjoyed
the advantages OF much lower costs
of living.
The statistician testified further
that many Southern textile workers
supplemented their regular incomes
by farming.
The present general statutory
wage minimum is 25 cents an hour
and will automa tically rise to 30
cents October "a.
Opponents of the application of a
special wage minimum to the tex
tile industry planned to offer Gov.
E. D. Rivers of Georgia as witness.
Two other Southern Governors.
Frank Dixon of Alabama and Hugh
White of Mississippi, testified last
week the minimum would stab"
Southern industry.
The opposition told Mr.. Andrews
yesterday Southern cotton farmers
and textile workers would be the
principal potential victims of the
boosted hourly rate
A special committee of the South
ern States Industrial Council de-
clared the 32ia cent rate would
wreck many small mills and throw
many workers back on farms to
| aggravate agricultural problems.
The South, the council contended.
should be granted lower wage min
imum than the North to make up
for higher transportation costs,
lower living costs and a larger sup
ply of unskilled labor.

Robert Ley, leader of the Nazi

the ninth and tenth hours, although
at the same rate as for the first
eight, would be tax free.
Women will not be asked to work
nights and an extra pay rate will
be established for night and holi-
day work.
The announcement closely fol-
lowed a series of moves to boost

acute labor shortage as long ago as

are the most enlightened, the most
industrious, the most advanced peo-
pie in the world. and that he be-
lieves the rights of people OF a
higher order of civilization must
take precedence over those of people
of lower order, it is not difficult to
forecast that some day trouble may
brew in Europe over the redistribu-
ton of land.
A further aspect of the problem
is pointed out by German business
men when they talk about the gi-
gantic European migration scheme
lit will in the nature of things not
remain a mere migration of Ger
mans; non-Germans residing in the
Reich will be asked to return to
their own countries).
These business men ask:
How will the proposed migration

tedly the most important trade. to
Germany because of the foreign ex-
change it brings?
They explain that the German liv-
ing outside the confines of the Reich
has not only been an outpost of
German culture. He naturally has
shown a marked preference fos Ger
man machinery. German handi-
craftwork, German industrial prod
ucts. For sentimental reasons, if for
no other, he preferred German trac-
tors, automobiles, sewing machines,
farm implements, optical instru-
ments and manufactured articles of
all sorts. He paid for them in the
coin of his adopted country, thus
modestly fattening Germany's mea-
ger foreign exchange portfolio.
Statesmen for Reich Goods.

near Kaunas may have as his neigh
Dor Lithuanian farmer Saulys.
Saulys' own country does not pro-
duce grade agricultural ma
chinery. But British, Swiss, Ger
man and Swedish firms are deluging
him with offers He goes over to
Farmer Schmidt to talk it over.
Neighbor Schmidt does not argue
He takes him to his barn to show
him his German machinery. This is
something tangible. The offers OF
the English, Swedish and Swiss
firms are on paper.
Thus Farmer Schmidt becomes a
salesman for German goods without
having learned the art of salesman
ship.
German exporters are wondering
whether when all the Germans the
world over have returned to the
Reich, will German goods be sold as
readily as they used to be?
These few examples show that the
modern migration which Adolf Hit
Ter has started is raising a number
OF new problems which will tax Ger
man energies.

"This is an entirely new line Of

Neutrality Acts
Administration
Proves Arduous
State Department Busy
Interpreting But Won't
Ask Changes in Law
BY the Associated Press.


Administration of the new Neu-
trality Act has proved far more ar
duous in its first fortnight than
the one it replaced, but it is unlikely
that the State Department will ask
Congress for any new legislation.
Deluged with inquiries concern
ing the act and interpretations Of
particular sections, the department
has had to issue long analysis of
the section relating to commerce
with warning nations. Some officials
would like to have seen this sec
ton written more simply, but they
will not make any effort to change
the wording.
Issuance of licenses for the eX-
port of arms, ammunition and i'm
plements of war is rapidly pyramid
ing. Before the previous Neutrality
Act was invoked the State De-
psrtment was issuing about 125 a
week. After the embargo was i'm
posed licenses fell to between 10
and 80 a week. Now in one day
they have touched so, mostly owing
to the heavy backlog of orders piled
up by the embargo. 4.
The new act requires much more
information from arms manufac-
turers than before. What officials
must know is the terms of sale
because they are required to supply
Congress with bi-annual reports con-
tanning all such details.
The division of controls of the de-
partment has prepared a special in
formation blank which manufacture
ers must f1ll out in addition to
their regular applications.
Since some manufacturers have
failed to supply the desired in
formation, their applications have
been held up.
Arms to belligerents must be paid
for in cash before being exported
The vastly increased work of is
suing licenses, with all the additional
information required, and the neces-
sity of preparing two long reports
