MOLEY AGAIN

Debt Steering Position
Hinted Now
By Frederick A. Storm

It'oLvrlfl.t. ttlX3. t.v llnifMl ir.n. i
Washington, July 21. (IP) An as-
signment, the nature of whtch is yet
unknown, is being pianneu tor As-
si.sttmt Secretary of State Moley by
President Roosevelt, it was learned
today.
In one quarter it was intimated
Moley might be delegated to handle
war debt negotiations which ore to
begin shortly. There also was a be
lief by some that, the assignment
might have ta do with working out
I(u.ssiun recognition.
There was no intimation in official
quarters that Moley would resign
as assistant secretary of state to han
dle the contemplated assignment.
Roosevelt, it was understood, has
been giving serious consideration to
the mutter of the Inst few days, dis
cussing it with Moley and with close
White House advisers, Alt attempt
ing to leum the exact nature uf the
work, however, failed.
Moley now is in New York for a
brief vacation although he is car
rying out some of his official duties
in informal conferences with admin
istration friends.
Because of Moley's close connec
tion with the White House and the
fact that he participated in the in
formal discussions of the debt sub
ject ns early as last fall, some ob
servers believed that the president
might turn over uie matter to mm
In order that the could give his un
divided attention to domestic recov
ery and towards the carrying out of
tho sweeping terms of the national
recovery net with its code fop nil in
dustry nnd business.
In addition to the new Moley as
signment there was also the report
that he was planning to resign short
ly. Reasons for such actions were
not given. Such reports were met
with replies that there was absolute
ly no basis for them and (hat Moley
had not communicated such desires
to the president or to anyone else.

to Add to Purchasing .
Power of America
Washington, July 21. (tPi
Here is President Roosevelt's
message to every employer in
the United States, asking co
operation In hU plan for vol
untary re-employment agree
ments, the to-called "blanket
code."
To every employer:
"1 This agreement is part
of a nation-wide plan to raise
wages, create employment, and
thus increase purchasing pow
er and restore business. That
plan depends wholly on united
action by all employers. For
this reason I ask you, as an
employer, to do your part by
signing.
-2 If it turns out that the
general agreement bears un
fairly on any group of em
ployers they can have that
straightened out by presenting
promptly their proposed code
of fair competition. '
"Franklin D. Roosevelt."
Washington July 21. ( LP) Presi -dent
Roosevelt today called upon
every employer in the United States
to raise wages and create empftiy
ment by shortening working hours.
His urgent appeal launched an.
emergency re-employment drive
such as never before has been un
dertaken in this or any other coun
try. Calling for 'united action" the
president asked all employes to sub
scribe to a blanket code giving
white-collar workers a 40-hour
week and a $12-15 minimum wage
ana industrial - aisor - a 35-hour
week wtth a minimum, wage of 40
cents an hour. ,
Voluntary cooperation was the
basis of this unprecedented social
and eexmomic experiment, this "mass
attack on depression", . ,.
Won't Wait For Codes
The emergency campaign intends
putting: the industrial recovery pro
gram in full swing without waiting
for approval of individual codes.
Sections of the national industrial
recovery act were invoked as au
thorization. Highlights of the voluntary agree
ment to which all employes were
asked to subscribe:
1. The agreement would become
effective August 31. - .
2. Child labor is banned with cer
tain exceptions.
3. Clerical or white-collar work
ers will be limited to a 40-hour
week, with a minimum pay of $15 in
cities of XQfm or more; $1430 m
cities of between 250,000 and 500.000
population; $14 in. cities between
2,500 and 250,806, and 20 per cent
wage increases in towns of less than
2,500 provided this does not require
more than $12 a week.
Exceptions Listed1
4. Factory or mechanical workers
limited to 35 hours per week until
December 31, with the right to work
40 hours per week for any she weeks
within this period. No worker shall
be employed more than eight hours
in any one day. Forty cents an hour
shaii be the minimum wage unless a
scale lower than that was in effect
July 15, 1929, and in no case shall
less than 30 cents an hour be paid. '
. 5. Prices must not be Increased
over the July 1 price except where
made necessary by increased costs
or taxes.
8. Flexibility is provided to avoid
working hardships in particular
cases where 1101111111011 on hours o
skilled labor would reduce produc
tion, but time and one-third must
be paid for all work in excess of the
maximum hours. . ,
Codes to Replace Agreement
T. The voluntary agreement will
cease to apply to any industry upon
approval by the president of its code
of fair competition.
8. September 1, is fixed as dead
line for the submission of codes. The
president will fix dates for hearings
arbitrarily unless industries are
heard from by that time.
Johnson said at a press conference
today that woman employes are
covered by the proposed uniform
code, which makes no distinction,
between men and women workers.
Domestic help, however, does not
come under the proposed code.
Johnson said he expected organi
zation of professional groups to ob
tain benefits of the recovery act.
Fostoffices throughout the country
wilt be used to get the agreements
before every one of the country'
more than 5,000,000 employers.
Every employer will receive a form
by July 2T. . -
