‘WHITE COLLAR' AIDS OMITTED IN SHIP CODE

Planned Revision to Cut Hours. Raise Pay of Office Workers. Hi Srrippt.il \rvtpnprr illianre WASHINGTON. July 29 -The shipbuilding rod** signed this week by President Roosevelt may be modified shortly to shorten work hours and rats* wanes of white-col-lar workers. OfTicial:- of the recovery administration expressed surprise today when omission of the.se workers from the final code was called to their attention The first code submitted by the shipbuilders provided a reduced work week and minimum pay rates for all employes. The day before hearing on this code anew one was substituted which covered only employes on an hour rate. Final action on the code was hurried through because bids were to be opined for construction of naval vessels, and apparently, in the hurry, the changed wording was overlooked Office Workers Included The President attached a provision to the cotton textile rode, the first signed, declaring that white collar workers Mould come under its term General Hugh S Johnson repeat'-dlv has declared that such workers must, tie included in ail attempts to increase purchasing power, and the President’s emergency i e-employ men: plan specifically provide for them Members of ’lie labor advisory board were as surprised as other recovery administration officials when the omission in the shipbuilders' code was called to thenattention They have not yet made public their report on this code to Johnson. The shipbuilders’ code was more lenient, than that for the cotton textile Industry in several respects in spite of the shorter work week and higher minimum wages for which it provides. Six-Month Basis Yards building vessels for the merchant marine are permitted to calculate their 36-hour work week on a six-month basis. Employes engaged in designing, engineering and in mold loft and order departments and other employes necessary for preparation of plans the only ones to whom immediate employment will be given under the new ship contracts are permitted to work forty-eight hours a week for the next six months. Apprentices may be paid less than the minimum wage for a two-vear period the life of the recovery act. In addition strong representations will be made to Johnson today by his labor advisers as to th“ need of setting up immediate machinery to investigate alleged code violations. Meanwhile officials of the reroverv adminstration are exhibiting keen interest m progress being made bv the American Federation of labor in organizing industrial unions in mass production industries. Want Industrial Unions They nave found a number of prominent industrialists who have maintained open shops and opposed craft unionism receptive to the idea of industrial unions that would make it possible for them to negotiate with one set of laber officials instead of half a dozen. In a few industries only the opposition of existing craft unions is preventing such action at 'he present time. In others the American Federation of Labor is making a beginning by chartering federal plant unions William Green, president of the federation, after first saying 'hat such unions would be united only by ■•councils’’ and that they would receive advice only from headquarters. admitted that he was planning organizations ol federal unions into industrial unions at some fu’ure time, and that federation officials would retain the right to bargain for the fedora Is if asked to do so.

7TTSCDK A DAV *Y BRUCE CATTON THE MARRIAGE RACKET,” by Vina Delmar. is a little bundle of this and that about a gal who was a vaudeville dancer and who got so tired of the two-a-day routine that she up and married a tired business man whom she let while playing in a small city ia upstate New York The new husband turned out to be a rather unimaginative and stolid sort of chap, but he wt-rn'i really so bad, and the marriage might have been a success if the girl hadn't had a baby and developed a sudden, overwhelming and quite unreasonable case of exaggerated mother love. Because she did—she was the Kind who breaks up the party and makes all the guests go home if the baby so much as sneezes—she ceased to be either a good wife or a good sport, and the husband mils' have been considerably relieved when she finally left, him and took her baby to New York, where she supported herself by dancing in a night club. Failing as a wife, she succeeded a little better as a rich man's mistress —though the author makes her out to be such a complete and cantankerous idiot that it is haid to see how she kept the job ten minutes. Anyhow, she lived in the lap of luxury for quite a while, and did her best to transform her child into the most odious kind of a mother's darling. I am sure you’ll be glad to know that it all turned out well in the end. Somebody finally made her see what a wart she had turned into. and the end of the book finv' her ready to reform and give the kid. and everybody else a break. . . . And that, oh gentle and fearless reader, is that. Published by Harcourt. Brace & Cos., the book sells for $2
