Following out the President's pro gram, Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, national recovery administrator, has “drafted citizens In all the states to lead the great drive. Nine members were ap pointed on each of 48 state “recovery boards," and seven members were named for service on 26 district re covery boards'* for the recently made codes. The telegraphic notice sent each of the former by General John son was : “President Roosevelt has drafted you as one of the nine members of the state recovery board for the state of . . . as explained In bulletin No. 3 of July 20. He has requested you to volunteer your services without com pensation In this great drive for na tional rehabilitation.

Please wire acceptance Immediately and you will receive fur ther Instructions.” The advisory board for public works is doing its part In the re-employment campaign by dealing out further large sums from the public works fund. Its head. Secretary of Interior Ickes, an nounced allotments totaling $118,282,- 000 for one state and five federal proj ects. Added to allotments already made, brought the total thus far ear marked out of the three billion three hundred million dollar fund to $1,053,- 106.201. The state project to be financed by the government was beneficiary of the largest allotment Sixty-three million dollars. Secretary Ickes announced, is allotted for construction af the Grand Coulee dam in the Columbia river basin. The upper Mississippi 9-foot chancel project already approved by President Roosevelt was allotted $11,500,000, This is a federal project to be under taken under the government s rivers and harbors program. Another $22,700,000 of the public works fund was earmarked for the Caspar-Alcova reclamation project In Wyoming, for many years the pet scheme of Senator John B. Kendrick of Wyoming. The federal forest service was allot ted $15,282,745 ; the coast and geodetic survey $2.G00.000, and the geologic sur vey $2,500,000. epresentatives of the oil, coal, steel and many other indus R tries were busily trying to agree on their codes in Washington. In ‘each there were factions with conflicting Ideas, and It was not easy to reconcile them. This was especially true of the oil men. Among them were many ad vocates of federal regulation of pe troleum prices, but they were told by Administrator Johnson that he would not recommend to the President any price fixing until the effect of produc tion control has been determined. Formation of the coal code was com plicated by the riotous strike in the mining zone of southwestern Pennsyl vania. BOTH the coal and steel code dis there was controversy over [ Jie N cussions open shop versus unions. The iteel men took the open shop clause aut of their proposed code to facilitate set tlement but they de clared plainly that they would stand for the present systems jf employees’ councils in the industry to carry on collective bargaining. Mr. Johnson said he would not approve iny code that does R. P. Lamont lot provide for ad visory councils. On the old issue of low collective bargainings should be •arrled out, the administrator reiter- ited that N. I. R. A. provides for col- lective bargaining through employees chosen by the workers. Robert P. Lamont, former secretary of commerce and now president of the American Iron and Steel Institute, which represents 98 per cent of the country's producers of pig iron and steel ingots, was the chief spokesman for the iron and steel ludustry at the hearings. William Green, president of the A, F. L., challenged various sec tions of the offered code, especially the minimum wage and maximum hours provisions. Secretary of Labor Perkins, who had been making a tour of the Pennsylvania steel mil,A wanted the wage rates altered, especially criti cizing the 25 and 27 cents minimum hourly rate set up for the southern and Birmingham districts. Shortly afterwards Mr. Lamont an nounced the Industry had agreed to raise the minimum pay in those two districts to 30 cents an hour. Both Green and Miss Perkins urged that the 40 hour week would not bring about sufficient re-employment in the Industry. Defending the proposed code, Mr. Lamont said: “It is estimated that on the basis of a 60 per cent rate of operations and a 40 hour week, substantially all the 49,738 employees who were not re ceiving work July 1, 1933, would be given employment On less than a 40 hour week the Industry positively could not operate the mills and meet any demands on them In excess of present production. “The code establishes a minimum rate of 40 cents an hour for common labor In the Pittsburgh. Youngstown, north Ohio, Canton, Massillon, Cleve land, Detroit-Toledo, Chicago and Col orado districts. This rate Is only 9 per cent less than the highest base rate paid during the last 11 years, where living costs were above the preseht leveL" RESIDENT I’^'SE V E LT , contin P uing his vacation at his home in Hyde Park. N. Y., called into confer ence there Assistant Secretary of State Raymond Moley and discussed w i t h him a plan to put all the force of the fed eral government into a campaign to wipe out the two great evils of kidnaping and racketeering. Profes sor Moley was then relieved temporarily from his departmental duties and placed at Raymond the head of a special M oley survey to determine where and how the federal power can best be used as a weapon against the criminal. He is well fitted for this work, for he Is an expert criminologist, was an adviser to the New York crime commissioner and is the author of nu merous surveys of crime, notably in Ohio and Missouri As for racketeering, both the Pres ident and Moley see in the new re covery act the authority, which the federal government has heretofore lacked, to intervene in criminal cases involving business conduct Until now, unless a criminal act infringed upon some specific federal statute, such as one of the postal laws or the internal revenue act or a law based on inter state commerce, the federal govern ment had no means of Jurisdiction. In the past the anti-trust laws have prevented the smaller industries and business units from banding together. Such a condition provided a fertile field for the racketeers, for Illegal combinations, and for violence. The national recovery act, however, provides directly for the abrogation <-f the anti-trust laws in cases where they interfere with the working of the re covery program. Industry and busi ness are forced into trade agreements. The federal government sanctions and Imposes those agreements and any act in violation of such agreements or tending to destroy the effect of the recovery act Is made a crime. Against kidnaping, the President is counting on a super police force mod eled in a general way on England’s Scotland Yard, the postal regulations, the income tax law, and the recently enacted kidnaping statute. Recent instances of kidnaping are familiar to all newspaper readers. The “snatchers" have received large sums for the release of their victims in several cases. The relatives of John J. O’Connell, Jr., of Albany, N. Y., paid $49,000 for his freedom, and the ransom of Charles F. Urschel, mil lionaire oil operator of Oklahoma City, is said to have been $200,000.
