MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MED FORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1933. PAGE THREE HOURS OF RETAIL Purpose to Increase Employ ment Defeated if Hours for Trade Reduced Is Pointed Out in Statement To clarify wldepread misunder standing in regard to the number ol hours retail stores should stay open under the president's re-employment agreement, the statement Issued by National Recovery Administrator Hugh S. Johnson, was released today by B. B. Harder, general ol the NRA drive here. It reads as follows: The last clause In section (3) of the presidential reemployment agree ment appears In substance In para graph (b). section (3) of the retail .nd in section (3). article ). In the food and grocery distributing code this clause in the presidential re-employment agreement reads as follows: 'And not to reduce the hours of any store or service operation to below SS hours In any 1 week, unlesa auch hours were less than S3 hours per week before July 1. 1933, and in the latter case not to reduce such hours at all.' oinAhiHiTie other provisions, th president definitely and concisely slg nifiM that the purpose of this agree- "1. To Increase employment, that la, to effect re-employment of those not working. 3 To assure those already em ployed and those to be re-employed that they will receive a reasonable living wage. "There can be no misunderstanding ahnut that nurpose. "It Is evident that the longer a store stays open each wee, ana hrtr number of hours each em ployee works each week, the greater ' . w.. .h. win be em- win oe wie uumw, "It is stated In this agreement that the hours which any atore Is to atay open cannot be reduced below 52 hours In any one week If the atore was open 63 houra or more a week before the agreement was signed. ni.t th store with more than two in..Aa which remain open the longest are contributing most to carry out the purpose of the presidential scrrMmnt. "And the stores with two or less employes which keep open only the minimum number of hours required are doing most to fulfill their part. "Many ownera of stores and many r,t t.h nubile have misinterpreted the intent of the presidential agreement and of the provisional retail codes In this respect. It was on the repre sentations made by the accredited committee of the associations sub scribing to both the retail and the food and grocery distributing trade that stores would remain open after th. asreement had been signed s nearly as possible as many hours as before July 1, 1B33. tnai inuae w r nrnvlalonallv approved. And further section (8) of the president's re-employment agreement requires particular emphasis at this point. That paragraph reads: Not to use any subterfuge to frustrate the spirit and Intent of this agreement which Is. among other things, to Increase employ ment by a universal covenant, to remove obstructions to commerce, and to shorten hours (employee work hours not store hours) and to raise wages for the shorter (employee work) week to a living basis.' "When employers sign this agree ment with their president, after read ing section (8) no one could con ceivably set aout staggering em ployee hours, enforcing rest periods, and increasing the time for lunch without pay, or either directly or in directly conspire to defeat the very purpose of the agreement by mate rially ahortenlng the number of hours which the stores had customarily stayed open. "That agreement Is a colemn cove nant. Tid Its purpose Is' explicit. "The ownevs of the stores and the customers who buy from those stores should have but one single purpose, which Is to carry out this specific provision which has to do with re employment through reducing the number of hours esch employee works and by keeping the stores open as long as possible. "The Insignia of the Blue Eagle must be withdrawn from those stores which either collectively or Individu ally flagrantly attempt to frustrate the purpose of the presidential re employment agreement.

E AT AIRPORT BUREAU IS Many people have complained about recent weather reports on the ground that the maximums reported at the U S weather bureau are too high and don't reperesent the aver age temperature in the valley. Although U. 8. weather bureau sta tions, are erected under similar con ditions everywhere In exposed places but protected from direct rays of the sun, and in an area of free circulat ing air, W. J. Hutfiison local U. S. meteorolgist, frankly admits that the station at the airport registers higher than many parts of tihe val ley, particularly in the nigtier levels. There is a decided variation, for ex ample, between the weather station and the Talent experiment station, and oven a greater variation further south, near Ashland. . It la also prob able that under such a period of hot weather as the present Medford Is cooler than the airfield, situated as It is, practically In the desert. While Mr. Hutchison will not say the weather bureau is the hottest place in the valley, he doesn't deny it Is one of the hottest places However, there Is no essential dif ference between the local station and the other government stations throughout the country. In all of (Viem certain essential requirements are rigorously observed. It Is doubtful If any change Is made :n the Medford station, but the local chamber of commerce wilt probably investigate the matter and be sure that Medford Is not discrim inated gainst in the matter of weather reports and advertised as hotter than It really is.

Bringing You Something More From the World's Largest M - L f ) uj Vi ' rv wti V.ft JONES TRIAL BILL FOR $1761 ON FILE AS The cost bill In the trial of Walter J. Jones, convicted ballot theft de fendant, amounting to 8176130 was filed today, with the county clerk by the district attorney's office, for col lection under the Oregon law, provid ing for payments of costs by convicted defendants, in criminal actions. Preparation of the cost bill In the trial of J. Arthur LaDleu, which will total slightly over ilOOO, Is under way. Jones and LaDleu were the chief lieutenants of Banks and Fehl, in their local agitation and are now serving sentences with them In state prison. Banks at Eugene yesterday, througn his attorneys, filed an objection to the cost bill filed against him. Thirteen Items covering expenses for state alienists, to combat Banks' claim of "transitory mania," meals for Jurors, fees for the sheriff's offices of Lane and Jackson counties, and mileage for witnesses are contested, on the grounds they are "not right fully and legally assessable" to Banks and his wife who was & Joint defend ant In the murder charge against them for the slaying of Constable George J. Prescott. Jackson county, as soon as the pre liminary red tape Is unraveled, will file a formal claim In the federal bankruptcy proceedings against Banks. Numerous labor claims against Banks have been served In the ac tion against the former local agi tator. Steps will also be taken by county authorities to set aside Earl H. Fehl's effort to transfer local property to his wife, the day following his .con viction. Total costs of Banks' murder trial, .and the ballot theft cases, are now figured to come within the 820,000 mark. It was first estimated that the costs would run between $25,000 and 830,000.
