: Anirews. Studies | So Asking 32%, Cents an Hour : : For 365,000 Workers. 1
By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer
- WASHINGTON, March 23.—With
the textile model of the Federal]
wage-hour machine almost ready for - operation, planned to crack -its No. 1 union problem. :
“The * unions consider Southern]
textiles their hardest big job. The textile industry was the first in the NRA codes, and now rates the first industry committee set | up by WageHour ‘Administrator Andrews. Today Mr. Andrews studied the report. of his Cotton Textile Committee—representing industry, labor and public—which recommended a national minimum wage of 32% cents an hour for the 365,000 workers.
‘Though joint public hearings must be held soon on this, and the earlier recommendation of a 36-cent minimum for the 150,000 woolen workers of the industry, union leaders think this minimum is virtually m the bag. Ri tiy © “Balance” Drawn Up
With more than 120,000 workers due for an immediate wage raise when the cotton-rayon-silk minimum becomes effective, labor strategists here today drew up the follow- : ing tentative balance sheet:

More tha 300,000 covered by contracts’ of the C. I. O. Textile Workers Organizing Committee can be brought into the union and afford to pay dues. There are now less than 100,000 dues paying cotton textile workers, including the small A. F. L. organization as well as the C.I oO. Many new employers can now be induced to sign union contracts because the Federal minimum wage will protect them against cutthroat competition. The strong Federal Government, rather than weak local unions, will police the wage minimum. Elminiation of the wage differen

Donald Shaw, Tech Corimerelél teacher and fire captain, sounds the alarm for a fire drill. Two and one-half minutes later the school will be empty of pupils, teachers and other staff members. Each drill - at Tech, as at the other schools, is conducted according to a uniform system that would be used if fire actually broke out.

great benefit to union organization. The NRA figure for the South was only 30 cents against 3212 for the
North—a minimum of 2%; but actu-| °
al average nearer 7 cents. The differential issue in general was the chief barrier to the Wage-hour. legislation: : Encourages Skilled Workers
The national minimum by raising the lower paid workers will encourage the more skilled workers to rally to the union to get commensurate wage increases for themselves.

Certain employers are increasing the use of “spies and thugs” to prevent union growth, and have the support of local officials. The split between the C. I. O. textile organization and the smaller A. F. of L. united textile workers will help the antiunion employers, unless and until the Roosevelt-

Explaining the system, Mrs. Kimber said: “We appoint teachers as floor chiefs and safety squads consisting of a ‘leader and a searcher from
“Additional searchers are appointed from the upper grade rooms to act as searchers in each primary room. The leader assists the teacher in forming columns and directing the pupils out of the building. The searchers leave the room to which they are assigned only after they have made certain every one has gone. They then close the door and report to the room captain.” “There never has been a serious school fire in Indianapolis and because there are still many: school buildings that are not fireproof the necessity of drills is continually emphasized, William Evans, Schools Safety Director, said.

HOOVER URGES
| Declares. Youth Program Is
Problem of Citizens, Not of Government.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 23 (U.
| P.)—Former President Herbert Hoo-
ver last night told a dinner meeting
|here that the problem. of training | America’s youth for future citizen-
ship was one for its private citizens to assume and not one for Government. ~ “Government, with its ever-ex-panding activities, will no doubt concern itself to :a greater and greater extent with the affairs of our young people,” Mr. Hoover said. “But it will be a sign of degeneration when we “as: private citizens
“|shall surrender character building
to the state. That is not the place where personality and character can ever be built. ...” . He referred to the programs of Fascist countries for training its boys and girls, building for * mentation, submission and for mental and moral subjection to their masters,” and said that was not what America wants. - “We want to build for moral discipline, not regimentation. We want to build for the dignity and character of the individual. We want education in truth, not propaganda. “And just as Fascists build their boys to support a spartan state, we want to build our boys to support a representative state.”
