NRA STORM CENTERS ABOUT MAXIMUM PAY SCALE BOOST; BUSINESS FIGHTS INCREASE Wall Paper Industry to Ask Permission of Recovery Leaders for Abandonment of Wage Ratio Agreement. COTTON MILLS BRING PRESSURE Blue Eagle Decision Seen as End of Attempt to Raise Purchasing Power of Both Skilled and Unskilled Employes. By Scripps-H'ivcard Xetcspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.—The storm gathering inside and outside of NRA over the complicated question of wages higher than the minimum scales will come to an unexpected head next Wednesday. On that day the wall paper industry will ask permission to abandon its pledge to raise wages of workers getting more than the minimum in proportion to raises received by lowest paid workers. NRA’s decision on this request probably will either mark the beginning of the end of its attempt to raise purchasing power all the way up the line or anew determination to increase pay rolls in this way.

Business has been bringing pressure to do away with such increases. Labor, on the other hand, has been demanding a more militant policy in regard to them, and it has won the support of Senator Wagner, author of the recovery act and chairman of the national board. When it was considering its first code, NRA was determined that the difference in wages enjoyed by higher paid employes should be preserved by wage increases all the way up the line in proportion to increases received by lowest paid workers. This attitude quieted labor’s fear that a fixed minimum w r age might become a maximum wage. Order Is Modified However, under pressure from cotton textile mills, NRA modified this order somewhat even before the first code went into effect. Its policy since then has been irregular. Sixteen of the sixty-two industries now under codes of fair competition have made no pledge whatsoever in this respect and are able, under their codes, to bring scales of skilled and unskilled workers closer together than ever before. Other industries have promised, in | differing terms, but almost without exception in vague terms, to care for the higher pagl workers. The great majority of coded industries have agreed to “an equitable adjustment in all pay schedules.” leaving thg question of what shall constitute equitable adjustments for future determination. Some of these promise equitable readjustment only as far up the wage scale as S3O or $35 a week, or only for unskilled workers, or only for factory workers. The code for the knitting, braiding and wire covering machine industry provides for “an equitable readjustment to the end that so far as may be equitable the differentials which now exist shall be preserved.” Half a dozen codes provide wage scales, negotiated with union labor, for all kinds of workers in an industry. High Wages Not Protected Except for these, the strongest protection for high paid workers is contained in codes for the silk, wall paper, gasoline pump, glass container, lumber, mens clothing, underwear, shipbuilding ,and fishing tackle industries. These promise that "existing amounts by which minimum wages in the higher paid classes exceed minimum wages in lowest paid classes shall be maintained." Even among these, however, are some which limit their bounty to S3O a week and under wages. If the wall paper industry in this group ,of more generous codes succeeds in striking out its promise to high paid workers similar requests will probably be made by others making similar promise. Failing success in eliminating the pledge altogether this group may try to re-word it along lines of “equitable readjustment.” This vaguer wording leaves NRA with an opportunity to protect high paid workers through exercise of executive authority when NRA administrative machinery is finally set up. MESSENGER HELD UP, KIDNAPED BY BANDITS Drug Store Employe Lured to Car by Fake Cigaret Order.

LABOR LEADERS SEEK REMOVAL OF HLB. DYNES Ask Help of Miss Perkins in Ousting Federal Conciliator. Removal of Harry B. Dynes, federal labor and strike conciliator, was sought at the hands of Miss Francis Perkins, secretary of labor, by four Indiana labor leaders shortly after arrival of the cabinet officer here yesterday. Today Mr. Dynes could not be reached at his home, 1044 Garfield drive, for comment. It was said he still was out of the city on labor matters. The four men who approached Miss Perkins at 310 North Meridian street where she had gone to confer with Indiana labor leaders made no secret of their efforts to oust Dynes, a Republican. Robert E. Mythen, labor chairman for the state and national Democratic committee, acted as spokesman for the group, -which included Alex E. Gordon, star.e NRA board member; E. Curtis white, state senator and Allied Printing Trades Council president, and Morton H. Miller, Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen state representative. Mr. Mythen revealed that Miss Perkins indicated she would investigate the charges. Miss Perkins merely said that she had a discussion with the labor leaders and got some information she wanted. According to Mr. Mythen, the labor leaders take the position that a “new face in the coal mine area might help in the settlement of disputes which have culminated with the declaration of martial law in Sullivan county.”

DOG FRIGHT DISEASE CURED BY VITAMINS Canine Hysteria Is Healed by Dietary Change. Bn Science Service LONDON, Oct. 14.—Increasing the amount of vitamin A in the diet cured dogs of hysteria, H. D. Walston of King’s College, Cambridge, England, found. This ailment, also known as "fright disease,” has become increasingly common in both England and America during the last ten years. The afflicted dog, previously healthy, gets fits of apparent terror followed by more or less depression. Encephalitis has been suggested as a possible cause of the symptoms. Mr. Walston’s investigations, however, indicate as the cause of the complaint vitamin A deficiency, together with proportionately too much of another dietary factory called E-substance, which is found in dog-biscuits and other cereals. Fifty cases of dogs suffering from hysteria were investigated, reports Mr. Walston in a communication to the scientific periodical, Nature. Os these, all except one were fed on a diet consisting mostly of cereal; twenty-six of these, continuing on the same diet, remained hysterical, while twenty-eight, the diet of which was changed to contain more vitamin A, recovered. Vitamin A is a substance found in the liver of mammals and fish, necessary to normal growth. Codliver oil is the traditional way of administering vitamin A, though, halibut oil has been found to be far richer in that substance, which, incidentally, is chemically related to carotene, the coloring matter of carrots.
