Johnson Signals Temporary Recovery Aid With Codes
Industrial Administrator Johnson told reporters he may seek voluntary hour limits and wage increases as codes are approved. Four new codes would lift purchasing power by hiring more workers, with coal set for a $5 day underground wage and 40 hour weeks.

Officials discussed a blanket code with a 35 hour week and $14 minimum for labor, $15 for clerical work, and possible voluntary industry subscription.

Farmers sold last year’s crop at about 30 cents and face seed costs near a dollar this year, with storage and rising input costs adding hardship for many upper Panhandle growers. The market uptick is linked to a potential dollar-per-bushel peak if trends continue.
