Support Recovery Drive BY JAMES COPE Associated Press Staff Writers WASHINGTON —(AP)—A mil lion new jobs, scattered through retail shops, big and small, from erd to end of the country, were held passible Tuesday, because Hugh S. Johnson, industrial ad ministration, had ordered into im mediate effect hour-reducing, wage raising agreements presented by the nation's storekeepers. Dwarfing even the agreements of fair practice of steel and oil, the new codes had swept into the in dustrial control movement all the organized dealers in foodstuffs, furniture, clothing, shoes, hard ware, dry goods, department stores, specialty shops and - mail order houses, The door was open to the thous ands of retailers not members of any association to join the sub scribing groups or to come in through the individual voluntary presidential agreement. Officials estimated that applica tion of these codes would provide 1,000,000 new jobs, that the retail lines represented employ 4,000,000 men and women. The food dealers, by Johnson’s orders, will have a 48-hour work week, the rest just 40. The grocer clerks will have an eight hour day except the day just before holidays and an additional twelve days each six months when they may work 10 hours. Only Temporary The two agreements for retailers and food dealers will be in force only temporarly, pending hearings at which their terms may be re vised before becoming permanent. But those who subseribe to them now may obtain the Blue KEagle poster of the N. R. A. just lke those who comply with the volun tary wage-raising, hour-reducing Presidential agreement. .

TODAY'’S BEST HUMAN INTEREST STORY Athens, Ga., Tuesday, August 1, 1933, Between Six and Seven Million Dollars Expected From 1933 Crop \ e ATLANTA, Ga.—(AP)—A tobac co crop the State Department of Agriculture estimates at approxi mately 45,000,000 pounds with = value of between $6,000,000 and §7,- 000,000 went on the market at auctions beginning in south Geor gia Tuesday. Forty-two warehouses in 16 cities had their floors piled full for the opening of the sales and a general spirit of optimism px'v—} vailed. ' The State Department of Agri culture and unofficial forecasters were of the belief the average price would be 15 cents a pound this year in contrast with last yvear's average of 10.41 cents. The 1932 crop was curtailed to about 12,000,000 pounds with total re ceipts so $1,267,211. A bumper crop of approximately 60,000,000 pounds in 1931 brought an average price of $6.41 a hun dred or a iotal of $3,901,841. H. K. Ramsey, statistician for the State Department of Agricul ture, returning from a survey of the tobacco belt, .said weather during the remainder of the sea son would have much to do with the yield and pointed out early ’prlces might not be a fair indica tion of the average because sand Jugs, first offerings, do not bring s much as the choicer leaves of fered later on. The Farmers ‘Warehouse at Waycross is expecting to sell around 1,500,000 pounds, Ware houses at Blackshear look to sell about 5,000,000 puonds, and a 'wa.rerouse in Tifton predicted sales of about 2,000,000 pounds, while a warehouseman at Douglas ’torecast he would sell from 7,500,- 000 to 8,000,000 pounds compared with 1,200,000 pounds last year.
