Spirit of Code
is Violated, Says
NRA Executive
General Hugh S. Johnson Warns
Stores Not to Shorten Their
Hoars of Business.
Washington. Speaking directly
to retailers and grocers but indict
ly to all employers who covenant
with President Roosevelt to increase
employment Hugh S. Johnson warn
ed that agreements must be fulfilled.
Turning momentarily from a hear
ing on a permanent code for the
bituminous coal industry, the NRA
chief struck out at "misunderstand
ings" which he said had led to short
ening of operating store hours In
stead of adding more employes.
Thousands more workers were
brought within the scope of the pres-(
idential agreements, meantime, withj
approval by Johnson of modified j
wajre and hour provisions for the
petroleum and jewelry industry. Be
coming effective immediately, employ
ers will receive the blue eagle upon
their compliance and until perman
ent codes are prescribed. Dozens
more temporary agreements for high
er wages and shortened working
hours for employes arc to be promul
gated soon in the administration's
high pressure campagin to bring vir
tually all of industry into line with
in a few weeks without awaiting the
formal hearings preceding perma
nent codes.
While the administrator drove his
general recovery program ahead, the,
new arbitration board created byj
President Roosevelt moved to end fi-j
nally the Pennsylvania coal strike, j
Called together by Gerard Swope, the:
chairman, the small offshoot of the'
national labor board prescribed rules
for the election of checkweighmen in
the mines. The decision of the ar
biters was signed by Swope, George
L. Berry and Louis E. Kirstein, the
other members, and spokesmen for
both operators and miners said it
would be recognized and obeyed by
them. Dr. Leo Wolman, acting chair
man of the national board, has call
ed a meeting for Thursday to con
sider the Pennsylvania hosiery strike.
Retail Stores Warned.
Johnson, for the second time in
four days, warned retail and groc-
ery store operators that the intent
of the recovery act to provide more
employment would be defeated if they
shortened hours of operation instead
of adding more workers, adding:
"When employers sign this agree
ment with their president after read
ing section No. 8, no one could con
ceivably set about staggering em
ploye 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 mater
ially shortening the number of hours
which the stores had customarily
stayed open." State Journal.

WESCOTT'S
PROGRESS
One hundred years seems a
great span
Of life to be given to any
man,
But his philosophy has changed
in a marked degree
To comport with the time of
life in decree.
From the base of the mountain
man viewed with awe,
The ripening grain harvested
with a sickle and claw,
And threshed and winrowed on
the ground or floor.
And then wondered how he could
have stored away more.
Plowing corn with a single
shovel,
And living in a shack like a
hoval.
Yoking his oxen to a two
wheeled cart,
Seemed to be real progress when
he set them apart.
Man looks from the peak now
instead of the base.
Sees the valleys and deserts all
green with maze,
For progress has conserved the
water that flowed
In torrents over fields and mead
ows fresh mowed
And retained until needed to
moisten the ground.
That food may be garnered and
distributed 'round
With hydro-electric power it is
done.
But the wise philosopher says:
"There Is nothing new
under the sun."
He sees great combines cutting
, and threshing the grain.
And autos trucking it to the
train,
Dumping into cars and to mar
ket it goes,
To feed the hungry, whether
friends or foes.
Now peering within he sees a
great want,
Of tribes and nations that look
very gaunt.
Though a surplus was created
by the wheels of progress.
And the machine age has brought
on seasons of distress.
The material view of progress
as a garment badly worn,
For as the world sees it, it is
terribly torn,
And to repair it, there are many
suggesting ways.
But none have succeeded so
we are left to think and
gaze.
The symbol of progress with its
intricate array.
And the engines of destruction,
retard the dawn of day.
When spiritual progress opens
the avenue that's closed
It will let in the sunshine to a
clamoring world of woes.

Five Navy Fliers
Killed in Crash
Near Honolulu
Plane Falls on Back When Tail Sur
faces Stripped Away Hits
Coral Reef.
Honolulu, Aug. 9. Five United
States naval men were killed today
and another was injured slightly by
the crash of a twin-engineered patrol
plane on a coral reef a mile offshore.
The dead:
Lieutenant Charels P. Hill, pilot,
body not recovered.
Lieutenant Ted C. Marshall, pilot,
under instruction; body recovered.
Aviation Mate First Class C. C.
Stewart, tody not recovered.
Radioman First Class V. C. Ho
vey; body not recovered.
Seaman First Class L. S. Pitt;
body not recovered.
The plane was attached to the
fleet air base at Pearl Harbor.
The only occupant of the plane to
escape death was N. A. Tuft, machin
ist's mate, second class. Slightly in
jured, he was taken to the naval hos
pital at Pearl Harbor.
One Takes to Parachute.
Tuft said the accident apparently
was caused by tail surfaces of the
plane coming off. He said the sur
faces were stripped away, causing
the craft to land on its back.
Tuft said Marshall took to his
parachute as the plane hurtled down
ward. The officer's body was recov
ered some distance away- from the
spot where the plane struck and it
was not learned whether he was kill
ed in striking the water or drowned.
The plane sank as soon as it
struck, Tuft said, trapping the five
remaining fliers In its cabin. Tuft
said he fought his way out and rose
to the surface where he was picked
up by a patrol craft which rushed
to the scene.
Seek to Raise Plane.
The airplane tender Acocet and a
barge worked to raise the plane, lo
cated on the ocean bottom in 50 feet
of water. Apparently the bodies of
the four men were still inside the
ship.
Hill was a member of the 1927
class at Annapolis. . He is survived
by his widow in Honolulu.

Washington Administrator John
son, national recovery administrator,
interpreted hi3 warning against mis
use of the blue eagle as having no
effect on its publication In news
paper advertisements. "Another mis
interpretation is in relation to a no
tice warning people against racket
eers who are attempting to get peo
ple using the blue eagle to pay for
inclusion in a so-called roll of
honor," Johnson said.
"Some people have construed this
as preventing newspapers from sell
ing advrtisir.g space for the an
nouncements of blue eagle firm3 and
individuals. That is an absurdity.
"The NRA wants all publicity given
to the use of the emblem and, ob
viously, there are no strings on the
newspapers as to the form, fhape,
size, or character of their ads so long
as the advertisers are bona fide mem
bers of the blue eagle fraternity.
