They agreed with recovery officials on a. petition asking Pre sident Roosevelt for an executive order putting into effect next Monday minimum wages and maxlmum working hours, The hosiery men have not com pleted their entire code, but they harmonized the proposed wages and working hours with those in effect in the textile industry, ask ing a 40-hour work week, and 80- hour machine week, A sl2 southern and sl3 northern weekly mini mum, Johnson was not yet satisfied with all details of the program which woald make such requests for executive orders Spontaneous througout the country Dy stirring public support. “I'm doing the best I can to work it out,” he said. “Have you decided on the policy, “Johnson was asked. ‘‘we are working on the policy.
