Labor codes in coal era prompt cautious optimism
The editorial notes the official approval of William Green of the AFL and Dr. Leo Wolman, NRA labor advisory chair, as a sign of satisfaction from some employers though immediate acceptance of coal codes remains uncertain. The piece highlights miners' wage demands, open shop disputes, and potential speedier agreement if industrialists drop open shop aims, with Roosevelt’s promulgation in view after reconciliations. It also cites university enrollment by 29 states and foreign countries, a drought-fatigue Iowa State watermelons, rabbits invading a North Carolina cotton field, North Carolina furniture output, and over 21,000 job applications for the Boulder dam project.
