{This means that of 34,100,000 per- {| sons now empjoyed in industry only ti 12,000,000 are covered by the bill. Mr. [Henderson's estimate that 3,€00,000 of these workers now are re{i ceiving less than 40 cents an hour || Was a guess. But his estimate of 6,I €00,000 now working more than 40 ll hours’a week was based on data of {| the Bureau of Labor Statistics. i The Bureau recently studied 16 manufacturing industries to discover to what extent they had departed from code standards since the death of NRA and found that all 16 had lengthened hours of workers, instead of adding new employges, as prosperity returned and production increased. Mr. Henderson estimated that. 650,000 additional workers would have been employed in manufacturing industries alone. in the year following NRA, if code standards . - had been adhered to. :

Survey Kept Secret

At his suggestion, the joint committee took steps to request that Secretary of Commerce Roper submit an extensive report on wages, hours and labor conditions prepared in the last days of NRA. The report has never been made public, Air.
