Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
CTHE blanket code of the national
1 recovery act. under which
thousands of employers will begin
to operate today, la an agreement with
the president of the United States to
work shorter hours and pay higher
wages. It's purpose Is to Increase
buying power and so make possible
he return of prosperity."
Thla plain statement was made at
meeting of Southern Oregon busi
ness men yesterday by Ralph Brad
ford, head of the business organiza
tion department of the United States
Chamber of commerce.
fxON'T regard the signing of this
U agreement, which Is voluntary,
a a pretty but meaningless gesture,"
fee advised his hearers, who were
largely employers. j
"It Isn't. It Is SERIOUS BUSINESS.
It ties directly Into the national re
covery act, and has back of It all the
might of the government, w'hl?h is
determined to go to whatever lengths
are necessary to make the recovery
program work.
"These agreements will be en
forced." THIS blanket 'code is simple but
1 EXPENSIVE. Its purpose Is to
CUT HOURS and INCREASE PAT.
"Nobody should sign It without ex
pecting to endure some suffering and
make some sacrifices. It la Intended
to put people back to work at In
creased pay.
"It will cost something, but If It
works It will be worth what It costs.
Putting people back to work at In-
creased pay will Increase buying
power, and that will bring back pros
perlty."
nnms code and the national recovery
act back of It, you see, are strong
medicine.
Why do we need such strong medl
cine? Well, according to Mr. Brad'
ford, the economic and social system
we hsve built up over the past 150
years Is EXCEEDINGLY SICK. If we
haven't the courage to take strong
medicine, this economic and social
system we have been building up lor
a century and a half MAY DIE.
Be put it Just that plainly.
WHAT slckened'us? '
Mr. Bradford puts It this way
"During the past four years we hsve
been passing through one of our re1
current periods or liquidation In
which we charge off the results of
too much rugged Individualism."
THOSE are big words,
lste.
Let's trsns-
What he means to say Is that In
the past, during periods of prosperity,
able and selfish men have PLAYED
THE HOG, seizing for themselves too
large a share of prosperity and leav-
lng for the average run of people,
who are greatly In the majority, too
email a share.
As a result, the great majority, the
common run of people, have run out
of the wherewith to buy, and as a re
suit markets hsve failed, factories
closed and unemployment descended
upon us.
THE PAST." he says, "we have
gorged and regurgitated.1
Again he uses big words. Wbst he
means Is thst In periods of prosperity
we have eaten too much, making our
selves so sick thst lster on we threw
up.
It was the throwing up
brought on the herd times.
that
A NTWAY. we got
sick terribly
sick, as everyone knows.
We got sick because the great ma
jority of people ran out of buying
power, and when we ran out of buy
ing power markets failed, factories
eloeed and unemployment came
along.
With people out of Jobs, they had
no money at all with which to buy,
and so things got steadily worse. We
know all about that.
WE COME nowuT"the hub of the
subject:
If we got sick becauM people ran
out of buying power, the way to make
us well Is to RESTORE BUYING
POWER.
That la what the national recovery
act. with Its codes of procedure, pro
poses to do by shortening houra and
ao making more Jobs, raising wages,
and eliminating wicked and chiseling

ARRIVING HOME
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1 . OP) A
tearful Almee Semple McPherson-
Hutton came home to Los Angeles
today, after seven months abroad.
She cried, at times almost uncon
trollably, over the loss of her hus
band, David Hut ton, who sued her
two weeks ago for divorce as she was
en route to the united States from
r Prance.
Not even the great crowd of her
faithful followers, assembled at the
railroad station to greet the even-
irllst, and the noisy booming of the
band of Angehis temple could drive
all her tears away.
It was the strangest home-coming
or all in the life of Bister Almee,
whose arrivals at railroad stations
here alwsya hsve meant a housing
reception in the past and an equally
rigorous repone from the tall,
blonde-haired preacher.
Pay checks, totaling IP0.0O0, were
lmued yesterday by the CCC head
quarters, of which 118000 was for
local workers. A large portion of each
boy's pay Is forwarded to depend
ants, and as there are a large num
ber of recruits In the Medford dis
trict from Illinois, several thousand
dollars In checks la being mailed to
that section of the country.
The checks were distributed In the

CODE FOR RETAIL
STORES ORDERED
IN EFFECT TODAY
Eagle Posters Available to
Those Who Sign Up for
Temporary Agreement
Pending Final Settlement
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1. ,(J A
quick spread of the retail code which
went in force today by order of Hugh
S. Johnson, recovery administrator,
Is sought by his assistants with ex
pectation that soon every type of
public sales agency will be blanketed
under Its terms.
A major development following the
order which yesterday brought the
majority of dry goods, department
store, clothing, shoe and furniture
dealers, as well as food dealers, under
temporary agreements to remain In
force until hearings are held, was
presentation of a separate code to I
cover the country's five and ten
cent stores. ,
This was stated authoritatively to
call for longer work hours and lower
wages than the general retail agree
ment. No concession, however, was
in sight from the administration.
One official said:
"They must all come under the
40-hour work limit except food deal
ers. "That Includes drug stores. They
have not yet presented their code
formally, but we have told them that
they can use the professional cate
gory exemption from hour limitation
for their pharmacists and for the
rest they must keep the 40 hours.
"If they can actually separate the
food end of their business, that sec
tlon may be run under the 48-hour
limit of the food dealers' code."
Restaurants also have not been
heard from officially, but the under
standing was that Johnson would
seek to have them keep the 48-hour
limitation.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. (AP) -A
million new jobs, scattered through
retail shops big and small, from end
to end of the country, were held pos
sible today because Hugh S. Johnson,
Industrial administrator, had ordered
Into Immediate effect hour-reducing,
wage-raising agreements presented by
the natlon'a storekeepers.
Dwarfing even the agreements of
fair practice of steel and oil, the new
codes had swept Into the Industrial
control movement all the organized
dealers in foodstuffs, furniture,
clothing, shoes, hardware, dry goods,
department stores, specialty shops
and mall order houses.
Open to Other Groups
The door was open to the thou
sands of retailers not members of
any association to Join the subscrib
ing groups or to come In through the
Individual voluntary presidential
agreement.
Officials estimated that applica
tion of these codec would provide
1.000,000 new Jobs, that the retail
lines represented employ 4,000,000
men and women.

that Fehl only expressed "surprise
at the decision. 8he further stated
that Fehl told the audience that he
had been requested by the grand Jury
to address them "on their conduct,
and the right of free speech and as
semblsge." Fehl, she testified told
the listeners, "they did not look like
people who would put their feet on
the walls, as I have been tola.
Heard No Noise
Mrs . Martin declared that she
heard no "unusual racket" during

speech, In which she Is alleged to
have ssld:
"The ballot should have been de
stroyed months ago . . ."
The state contended It showed the
Interest of the witness. The speech
was msde on March t.
The defense Indicated It would at
tempt to establish an alibi and show
that Fehl waa at hla own home, and
the home of his attorney, when the
state claims he waa on the basement

ers. Tom L. Brecheen, and O, W.
