The Super Attraction of Our Times! Come Early! Lombard LUMBER CODE IS CALLED WORKABLE BY COL GREELEY SEATTLE. Wash. VP) Character ized by Colonel W. B. Greeley as a "good and workable code," th na tional recovery program bearing the imprint of the lumber code authority, has been sent to members of the in dustry by tho West Coast Lumber men's association, Its most Important provisions, In the view of the W. C. L. A., were those governing hours of labor and minimum wages. With certain exemptions, It forbad: employes working for two or more em ployers "for a longer period in any week than specified herein for a! single employer" and set the maxl- mum hours of employment at 40' hours per week. Tho wage provisions set forth that minimum contpensatlon for workors employed on piece work or a con tract basis shall not be less than the minimum wage regularly sot for the numrjer or hours employed; the ex lsting amounts by which minimum wages in the higher paid classes, ujfl to workers receiving 30 per week exceed minimum wages in the low est paid c lasses shall be maintained ; charges to employes for rent, board and medical attention shall bo "fair." The minimum wage stated in the general provisions is not less than 40 cent an hour, unless in any Bub division of tho iumber Industry and the prevailing hourly rate for the same class of workers in 1929 wan less than 40 cents an hour, "in which case the rato shall not be lees than said prevailing hourly rate, plus 15 per cent and said hour rate was less than 30 cents per hour." An exception to this was tha lor wages between 20 and 29 cents stated in the general provisions Is on the 1929 basis, with wages J than 20 cents being counted as 20 cents. "The percentage of Increase shall diminish one and ono half per cent for each cent that wages par hour exceeded 20 cents." For example, if the wage on July 15, 1929, was 20 cents, the Increase under the new schedule would be 15 per cent, making the new wage 23 cents. If It was 21 cents, the In crease would be 13 & per cent, making it 24 cents, and graduated according ly. The cod continues that no mini mum rate of wages for ay subdi vision of tho lumber industry shall be -less than that proposed by the "applicant industries" In tho code as filed July 10, 1933. Minimum wage rates for the west coast under the foregoing provision is as follows: Logging, 42.5 cents an hour; lumber manufacture 42.5; factories, 40; fir door, 40; fir plywood, 40. The rates for tho western pine sub-division ore virtually similar. In tho wooden package division of the Industry, the rate for the Pacific veneer container sub-division Is 40 cents an hour. - FRANKIE Ringside General hi i em STOCKS STUMBLE AS GRAIN DROPS NEW YORK.
