TO BLUE EAGLE
President Orders Fine and Im
prisonment For Violation of
Recovery Agreement. Johnson
Authorized To Prescribe Fur-
*
ther Regulations. 1
Washington, Oct. 17.—A two-edged
executive okler designed to force com
pliance with the Blue Eagle provis
ions of the presidential agreement was
issued tonight by President Roosevelt.
The order called for a fine of $500
and six months imprisonrpent for
any person falsely representing
himself to be operating under the
agreement or displaying the Blue
Eagle * insignia while not cqmplying
with its provisions.
Specified Rules
The President’s order, i.ssued un
der specific authority of the indus
trial law, also authorized Hugh S.
John.son, the . recovery administra-
plifying those laid down by the Chief
Executive.
It followed closely upon removal
of the Blue P^agle from the first es
tablishments that" were reported to
have been violating the Presidential
agreement.
A supplementary order issueil by
Johnson covered specific rules for
display of the eagle, said that any
person might display the emiblem
so long as he complied with the
president’s reemployment agreement
and that when in the judgment of the
administrator, any person had failed
to comply it should be surrendered
<m demand and not be again displayed
without written permission. Fine and
impri.sonment were provided as pen
alties for violation of these rules.
Denial By Ford
The order was issued shortly af

tional labor board had announced
that he h4d
telegram from the Ford company in
Dearborn that the company is pre
pared to meet authorized represen
tatives of their employees.”
Close behind the'Wagner announce
