Roosevelt Orders Steel Code Changes to Ease Price Strikes
President Roosevelt approved an indefinite extension of a revised steel code and ordered employee elections in mills to enable collective bargaining. He also asked the FTC and NRA to study the basing point system for prices, maintaining modified forms of the system to meet economic needs. The code, effective June 11, expands basing points, adds administration veto power, eliminates minimum prices, allows differential transport rates, and sets an eight hour day with a 40 hour week as the standard.
