NRA ARRANGED
Trade Commission to Enter
Negotiations With
Industry
WASHINGTON. July 1, —
President Roosevelt arranged Tues
day with the skeletonized NRA and
the Federal Trade Commission to
carry out with Industry voluntary
code agreements supplanting the
code structure outlawed by the
supreme court
He authorized the trade commis
sion to enter Into negotiations
with Industry on fair trade agree
ments. The NRA was authorized
to assist In voluntary agreements
for minimum wages, maximum
hours of work and abolition of
child labor.
The arrangements for sssistance
in establishing a voluntary code
structure were regarded as Indi
cative of a postponement of any
administration plan to revive the
compulsory code system during the
present session of congress.
It was emphasized at the White
House the voluntary set-up was to
prevail pending study of proposals
for new legislation.
Chairman Davis of the Federal
Trade Commission announced after
a White House conference that 52
industries. Including some of the
largest had submitted requests or
Inquiries regarding voluntary fair

been suggested could "steal the
show" at he fair. That the oom

in general meetings and that now
there should be a split in different
committees. He was empowered to
appoint committees on finance,
publicity, and numerous other
phases of work, which he will an

said there would be a meeting at

A group of citlaens gathered at
the turning basin and waited until
2:20. When no city official showed
up. the group then broke the chain,
and opened the valve, he said
"The feeling in this community."
Steiner declared at the meeting, is
that the mayor has had some dif*
Terences with the navigation dis
trict and with Water District No
II which are purely personal, and
which should not be allowed to
interfere with progress of our city.
Time far Action’
The people of the city have en
dorsed a new water project, and
the navigation district has stated it
is ready to put up $33,000 to help
finance It if given proper guarantee
that an adequate system will be
built This matter has been hanging
tire for six months, and nothing
has been done. We feel that the
time is here to do something '’
Steiner added "It is not the
sentiment of the people here to
harass the mayor or the city com
mission. All we are interested in is
In cooperation and progress in our
city, and are willing to do anything
to bring this about"
He said the cltlsens had never
been called In in any matters per
taining to the water problem, and
tela or a group going to San Benito
to attend a joint meeting, and ot
being asked to leave when the
meeting opened.
City Commissioner George Co
lumbia praised the new Wei far*
Association, declaring It has been
needed for some time, and then
pledged to cooperate at any time
in doii* what is right to help the
city.
City Commissioner Bunker said
that as far as he was concerned he
mould cooperate tn any ett* move
for progress.
Action Said Nee cowry
The two commissioners were ask
ed that In the event of an emer
icency would H be poaalble for them
to act for the city, or would they
have to |«t Mayor Scanlan at
Brownsville, assuming that he was
there. They said they would act In
an emergency.
W. h. Pattee. commissioner of the
navigation district, said the dis
trict Is ready to put up $35,000 to
help build a water system, provided
It to given guarantee that the sys
tem will be built economically ana
will be adequate to supply the
needs. He pointed out that the
deadline when the city has stated
It will cut off water to the naviga
tion district unless contracts are
signed Is only a few days off. ana
that some action must be taken.
A number of others took part m
the general discussion.
Mayor Scanlan said Wednesday
morning that the city commission
and the navigation district were to
meet next Monday to take up the
question of s water contract.
The mayor made no further com
ment cm the situation.
Mayor Oeorge Scanlan of Port
Isabel Tuesday. In a statement to
The Herald, denied that he, as
mayor of that city had refused to
furnish water to gover n m e n t
dredges or to any other Individual
or agency, declaring the forcible
opening of locks at Port Isabel Sun
day to furnish water to the dredge
Galveston was the result of lack
of understanding erf the situation.
“Action of the so-called com
mittee of cither ns in cutting the
locks on the main line valve of the
Port Isabel water system was un
warranted and unnecessary," the
mayor said.
“The city of Port Isabel has been
furnishing water to the Port Isa
bel-San Benito Navigation district
for use of the dredges at consider
able sacrifice to the citizens of Port
Isah 1. owing to the Inadequacy of
the city’s present water supply, and
the present Mate of repair of the
system.
District Aid Sought
"This water has been furnished
to the Port Isabel-San Benito
Navigation District at 30 cents per
j 1000 gallons, and the Port Isabel -
San Benito Navigation district has
been charging the dredges '60 cents
I per 1000 gallons.
"Efforts have been made to get
the Port Isabel-3an Benito Navi
gation district to co-operate with
the city in extending and repair
ing its water system to take care of
the present and possible future
needs of the port, but without suc
cess up to this time.
"In all fairness to the residents
of the city, the city authorities
have been campelied, until the
city could undertake such repair
and extension of its water system in
order that the water be In usable
condition, to Impose the condition
that the Navigation district take
the water for the use of the dredges
at hours at which it would be the
least detrimental to the condition
and use of water for citizens of the
city”
These hours are 12 midnight to
6 a. m. The city, Scanlan explain
ed. has notified officials of the
dredges, however, that they may
have water at any hour in case of
emergencies. The dredge officials,
he said, made no objection to tne
hours, and hava. until the Sunday
incident. been securing wster at
that hour.
‘Has Nat Refused Water*
The incident of the Galveston
seeking water Sunday afternoon was
the result of misinformation given
to officials of that dredge, the
mayor said.
-The city has not only not re
fused to furnish water to the
Briggs-Darby Construction company
but on the contrary has repeatedly
assured that company of Its willing
ness to furnish water to them for
use in the construction of the road
from Highway No. 100 to the Port
Isabel turinng basin.
"These facts are substantiated by
the city ordinances, the city records,
and reports of its engineers on file
in the city offices.” the mayor said.
"The city of Port Umbel has al
ways cooperated.” Mayor Scanlan
•aded. -In furtherance of the ends
desired by all. namely the comple
tion of the ports of Port Isabel and
Brownsville, and it Is to be refret
ted that a few ill-advised persons
have deemed It their duty to tab*
the matter In their hands snd to pro
cure unjustified publicity for the
city of Port Isabel
