Into Line. First to submit a model code was the cotton textile industry, through a committee said to represent two-thirds of the textile millers. Pending approval in public hearing June 27, the code provides a minimum wage of $10 a week in southern mills. $11 in the north, a 44-hr, week, and acknowledgement of employes' right to collective bargaining. The coal men in Chicago were preparing a code. The American Petroleum Institute was also doing spadework in Chicago, while to Washington the independents sent their own recommendations.

The Cotton Textile Association was now agreed on a 40-hour week. To Mr. Sloan...
