producers of the Asturias Valley to
assist them in squelching a strike of
coal miners.
Washington — The National Labor
Relations Board attempted to inter-
vene in the strike of thousands of un-
ion employes against the Aluminum
Company of America as a last resort
to secure an equitable adjustment of
wages, hours and union recognition.
The board asked both the Aluminum
Workers’ Council, affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor. and
the Aluminum Company to submit to
arbitration. The board had been at-
tempting to reach a settlement be-
tween the aluminum workers and the
company for a number of days be-
fore the strike.
Company officials had consistently
refused to accept the terms of the
workers, asserting that they were de-
manding in effect a "closed shop " in
addition to a demand that company
officials meet and bargain with them,
the union men have insisted that the
company adopt the "check-off" system
for dues and establish uniform wages
in all plants.
The Labor Board issued this state-
ment:
"While no formal complaint has
been lodged with the board, the dif-
ferences between the aluminum work-
ers and the company were brought to
the attention of the board by the un-
lona
"The board then sent its representa-
tives to Pittsburgh to make invest-
gations and confer with company
officials. The board also has con-
ferred with the workers in an effort
to settle the differences.
"It stands ready to assist the dis-
putants in reaching a satisfactory so-
lution."

The walkout tied up the Government

Several days prior to the strike the
employes presented demands to Sec-
retary of Communications Miguel
Snares for re-establishment of the
seniority system, the dismissal of sev-
eral chiefs of departments who were
said to be followers of former Presi-
dent Gerardo Machado and payment of
three months’ back a laries. Follow-

dictatorial decree of the government
limiting strike activities, the employes
voted to strike if their demand* were
not granted

Washington — The executives of 137
railroads who attacked the constitu-
tionality of the Railroad Retirement
met their first defeat here when
District Supreme Court Justice Proc-
tor refused to grant a temporary in-
junction, requested by them, restrain-
ing the Federal Board, which was set
up to administer the law, to continue
its work If the court had granted
the injunction the operation of the
law would have been suspended. The
railroad executives said they would
appeal the case to the United States
Supreme Court
The railroads contended the law,
passed by Congress in June, was un-
consttutional and sought an injune-
I on to restrain the board. Hammond
E. Chaffetz, special assistant to At-
torney General Homer S. Cummings,
defended the statute.
Chaffetz disclosed that the retire-
ment board is about to issue two or-
ders. The first is directed to all
Class One carriers requiring them to
advance payments of 9125,000 to the
Treasury so that the board can be-

Effective July 20, the housing and
building materials consumer will
receive the benefit of reductions of
between 14 and 1* percent in all
lumber products, as results of co-
operation between the retail lumber
Industry, the lumber and timber in-
dustry, and th® National Recovery
Administration I n support of ths
program.
Prices on some 00.000 items pro-
duced by about 32,000 unit* in the
lumber and timber products industry
will be lowered, primarily to permit
the potential consumer of low-cost
housing units to buy more of the in-
dustry's products. To illustrate the
extent to which prices will drop, of-
ficials of the NRA Division of
Research and Planning pointed out
that the prices of Southern pine after
July 20 will drop from late 1929 and
early 1930 levels to those of mid-1930.
While prices of Douglas fir, previously
at 1929 peak levels, will descend to
late 1930 levels. These two classes
constitute about two-thirds of the in-
dustry** output.
15 percent Drop In Retail Prices
Under the NRA ruling the percentage
allowed was dropped from about 42
percent of cost to about 30 percent.
or an average of 5 percent off the
sales prices.
Subsequently, on July 16, the e-
co very Administrator, having ap-
proved an amendment to the Lumber
and Timber Products Code authorising
ths action, simultaneously determined
that an emergency exists in the lum- j
ber and timber products industry,
"threatening to render ineffective and I
to ‘seriously endanger the mainte-
nance of the purpose* and provisions
of the Code and the Industrial Re-
covery Act." To cope with the emer-
gency the Administrator ordered that
certain price classifications be estab-
lished.
Cost of Average House
In working out those classifications,
the Division of Planning and Re-
search, which is charged by the order
to make a full study of the operation
of the costs and the flexible rule*
and regulations imposed by the order,
analysed actual material bills to de-
termine the cost of an average house,
and thereby computed that the new
prices revealed a drop of from 3 to 10
percent under present prices. In
transmitting the order to the Admin-
istrator the deputy administrator
pointed out that "this reduction in
price* represents the lumber and tim-
ber products industries' contribution
toward lower construction costs and
are submitted for the purpose of co-
operating with the Administration’s
building construction program." It
was further pointed out that the
greatest price drop occurred in build-
ing materials used in the average low-
cost housing unit.
The new prices will be in effect,

This approximately 15 percent drop
in retail and produce prices was
brought about as results of action
taken in connection with the Retail
Lumber Code and the Code for the
lumber and timber products industry.
Reductions In the retail price to ul-
timate cousumers of lumber of from
4% to 8% percent were effected June
28, under an ord.r by the Adminis-
trator revising the so-called model
mark-up established in the Retail
Lumber Code. Provislona In the Code
provided for this administrative action,
and approximately 23 ooo retail
lumber dealers were affected. The
modal mark-up is the percentage
which the retail lumber dealers must
add to his invoice coat for expenses
of administration handling, and stor-
age, when he sells to the consumer.
