5,000,000 Barbers, Bootblacks and Restaurant Workers Would Be Ruled by Code
Washington, Feb. 25.—(P)—While controversy over NRA’s future continued, an authoritative source disclosed Monday that Blue Eagle officials are tentatively considering bringing the service trades under the general retail code.
These trades employ 5,000,000 barbers, bootblacks, restaurant employees, pants pressers and other such workers.
After months of puzzling, certain recovery chieftains were said to have hit upon the retail code idea as a means of solving a long-pending problem of enforcing wage and hour provisions in these small businesses definitely not engaged in interstate commerce.
It was disclosed Monday that some officials believed the barber and beauty shops, dyers and cleaners and other trades could be linked to the retail code because almost all sell preparations in addition to the services rendered. It was pointed out, as an example, that in many cases motor service stations sell tobacco and candy as well as oil, gas and tires.
A definite decision to move to bring these businesses under the big code has not yet been made, so far as is known.
