PRESIDENT YIELDS
"SERVICE INDUSTRIES"
EXEMPT FROM PROVISIONS
( ENFORCEMENT FUTILE
United Press Association—By Electric Telefiraph—Copyright. WASHINGTON, May 27. Tacitly admitting widespread noncompliance, President Roosevelt, by an executive order, today authorised the exemption of the so-called service industries from the fair trade practice provisions of N.R:A. codes. This means that hundreds of thousands of clothes cleaners, dyers, barbers' shops, beauty shops, etc., will "no longer operate under the pricefixing agreements, open price systems, and other stabilising devices, maximum wage scales, and minimum "working hours. The abolition of child labour must be obseirved,\ however. , > For months there have been complaints that the N.R.A. Administration has been unable to police such small concerns and that further attempts to do so would be futile.
