NBA Will Abandon Codes for Small Businesses—More
Strikes in Automobile Industry Are Foreseen
by William Green.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
C by Weatvrn Ncwgpaper Union
G ENETCAT. JOHNSON and hla as
elataotr In the NKA are tired of
trying of enforce the multiplicity of
codes for soinll groups, and therefore
the administration has
decided to abandon
thousands of those
arranged for lesser In
dustrial plants and
service establish
ments. In fact, to
regulate prices and
trade practices and
Innumerable details In
countless small busi
nesses has proved to
tie Impracticable and
Gen. Johnson e fr, (r t || ns taken
an outrageously large percentage of
NUA work and funds.
Johnson said he was working on
arrangements to substitute simple
agreements for codes covering small
Industries. These agreements mere
ly will cover wages, hours and the
collective bargaining guarantees of
the recovery act.
The •greements may be Identical
with the Presidential re-employment
contract that employers signed last
summer pending adoption of codes.
Those who are relieved from codes
will be permitted to continue to dis
play the Blue Eagle If they sign
such agreements. The relaxation prob
ably will apply to nearly all small
establishments except retail stores.
It was reported in Washington that
General Johnson would soon ask the
President to empower him to super
vise and check prices which private
bnsftjegs coneema ate charging their
customers. This would be the start of
his attack on the charges that the
NUA Is fostering monopoly and high
prices. The President could take the
action by Issuing an executive order
and congressional sanction would % not
be necessary.
Two drastic changes are expected
to he made In the price policies that
Johnson has been following so far.
First, he may require all coded Indus
tries to report their prices to the NUA
Instead of to their own code authorl
ties as at present. Second, Johnson
may demand that the government
veto any prices which It considers ex
tortionate or unreasonable.
The silk textile Industry found
Itself overloaded with surpluses of
goods, and the NBA permitted all the
mills to shut down for one week, dur
ing which time 30,000 workers are un
employed. _The shutdown was ordered
by the silk textile authority, the board
aet up by the Industry Itself to rule
the Industry under the code. Officially
the NBA Itself did not order or ap
prove the layoff, but It Is watching
It closely. It may suggest the same
device to other Industries. The cotton
textile manufacturers are reported to
he eyeing the silk shutdown envi
ously.
A IMING directly at the American
Telephone and Telegraph com
pany and the Western Union company,
both of which are said to have defied
him, Becovery Administrator Johnson
, made public a drastic code for the
wire communications Industry pre-
\ pared by his own staff. Imposition of
a code Is regarded to all Intents the
same as writing law for the Industry
affected, equal In sqope to the author-
Ization for licensing Industry. Noth
ing like It has been resorted to here
tofore. \
In the telegraph case, with nil but
one minority group flatly opposed to
any code, the NBA Is proposing to
change long-standing conditions and
alter the Internal economy of the In
dustry on the ground that existing
conditions burden commerce and re
duce employment. A date for hearings
was set, after which the President
was to be asked to take action.
The code, If adopted, would deprive
extensive Interests of financial au-
vantages amounting to many millions
of dollars, the NBA authorities de
claring these are uot fairly held.
Among the things It would abolish
are: Exclusive rights of the Western
Union Telegraph company to some
thing like $23,000,000 worth of busi-
new annually ; use by many corf*»r«*
Hons of private wire circuits leased at
figures alleged to be out of line with
regular charges for the same volume
of business, and free use of these cir
cuits by clients of the lessees.

DY A vote of 62 to 13 the senate
^ passed the Fletcher-Rayburn bill
which places the securities markets of
the country under the regulatory con
trol of a federal commission. The
measure already had passed the house,
so It went to conference and thence to
the President for his signature. This
law. coupled with the securities act,
puts the financing of business almost
completely under the control of the
government.
The Fletcher-Rayburn hill actually

of federal trade commission; Ben

after the meeting
Miss Wheeler led a
delegation to the

asking him to take the lead In secur

News from abroad Indicates that
this Is Imposing a tremendous task on
Mr. Roosevelt, for the prospects of
disarmament are growing slimmer

quarrel between France and Germany
over German rearming, and France
has lengthened the term of service of

W AR In Arabia has come to an

Saud's m o d e r n 1 y
equipped armies al
ready had captured
Hodeida, the Yemen
seaport, and were
advancing on Sana,
the capital. The fighting In that area
ceased.
King Ibn Saud has been gradually
extending his power since 1924, and it
was believed he Intended to add Ye
men to his territories. He took ad
vantage of a border quarrel to start
hostilities some weeks ago. In a re
cent Interview Ibn Saud said: “I have
never envisaged territorial, expansion,
and I have never desired to conquer
Yemen, but Just as th/ conquest of
Hejaz was forced upon me a decade
ago by the hostilities bf King Hussein,
similarly Yahya has forced war upon
me now by sending troops into Naslr

A NDREW W. MELLON, the ven
erable and wealthy ex-secretary
of the treasury and former ambassa
dor to England, came out on top In his
latest contest with the
Department of Jus
tice. The government
had accused him of
evading his Income
taxes and sought his
Indictment by a fed
eral grand Jury In
Pittsburgh. However,
the grand Jury re
fused to return a true
bill, declaring the
charges were without „
basis. A ' W ' Me,,on
The foreman of the Jury was Wil
liam Beeson, a bank clerk. Among
others on the Jury were five laborers,
two farmers, two engineers, two me
chanics, two clerks, One plumber, one
carpenter, a lumber dealer, and a
writer.
Mr. Mellon said: “I am of course
gratified that I have been exonerated
by a Jury of my fellow citizens. The
fact that the grand jury reached a
sound conclusion, notwithstanding the
unusual methods pursued In my case,
Is proof of the good sense and fairness
of the American people."
In previous statements Mr. Mellon
had charged Attorney General Cmn-
mings with playing politics "of the
crudest sort," and had set forth at
length his Innocence.
Figures supplied by the League of
Nations show that European countries
have spent about $6,000,000,000 since
the last war on killing machinery for
another war, while carefully refrain
ing from paying the $10,000,000,000
that they owe us.
It Is announced from Paris that, for
the fourth time, France will default
on the war debt to the United States..
And it is probable that England will
i default again, as she did last time.
Last time she handed Uncle Sam "a
token," saying:
“Please accept that, and don’t call
It a default"
It Is doubtful that this country
would accept a token this time. Eng
land probably either faces a substan
tial payment or official default
01X the ground that
the emergency Is over and that Presi
dent Roosevelt and his administration
are continuing on a spending spree
Just to afford deserving Democrats
with pie from the government counter.
The tlpoff as to the direction from
which the attack will come arose the
other day without attracting a great
deal of attention. It came from Rep
resentative Snell of New York, the Re
publican leader In the house, who op
posed one of the newer brain-trust
creations because he declared, un
equivocally, “the emergency Is over."
After Mr. Snell had made the state
ment, I Inquired of a number of per
sons, astute In politics, what they
thought of this anomaly. Here Is a
leader of the opposition party declar
ing that the emergency Is over, and If
that condition exists, the leader of the
opposition, by inference at least, has
admitted that credit for the Job mnst
be given the Roosevelt administration.
I find as' well that the Democrats can
hardly, admit the correctness of the
statement withont admitting at ths
same time that there should be an end
immediately to the countless emergen-
cf agencies that the Roosevelt admin
istration has set np. It seems to me,i
therefore, that we are witnessing one
of the most ridiculous situations that
has ever occurred - In—polltlce where
peculiar things are the rule. Suc
cinctly, It amounts to this: each side
actually Is contending that the other
la right.
— Of course, It should be -eaW-, much
water will flow under the bridge be
fore the votes are counted In Novem
ber; Indeed, many changes will have
come before the congressional cam
paigns In the various states get stirred
np to s white heat, but unless the
course of battle now Indicated Is al
tered, I predict the campaigners will
have to do some fancy high rope walk
ing. It surely appears that getting
one’s own legs tangled up In those ar
guments Is about the easiest thing In
sight
Curious possibilities are offered by
the situation. For example, are the
Democrats going to go out on the
hustings and say to their mass meet
ings la effect that “we have not suc
ceeded ; we must keep the AAA and
the NRA" and others? And. at the
same time, are we golag to hear
from Republican spellbinders that
“the. Democrats have UAed-ihe
presslon and they must now
home because they come
whelmlngly Republican communities.
The Republican leaders are asserting
they will pick up eighty or ninety
seats from the Democrats next No
vember. There can be no doubt that
they will gain some, but eighty or
ninety Is a high figure In anybody’s
language. v

There is considerable discussion
here as to how far-reaching the effect
may be If the Re-
Just publicans stress.
Speculation w,th sufficient vigor,
the contention that
the Democrats are trying to bold on
to the extra Jobs and that they are
continuing to spend taxpayers’ money
for repayment of political debts. There
is always something sinister about
that kind of thing. Whether the
charge Is right or wrong, many voters
get auspicious when campaigners per
sist in talking about raids on the fed
eral treasury. They always think of
k in terms of theft of money from the
local bank or stores and not In the
terms of political maneuvering, al
though I confess 1 can see little dif
ference. It always has happened that
the “political tfarty In power has con
trolled the flow of public moneys Into
the spots where the funds wll! do tbs
most good, politically, and when either
side kicks about that. It serais to me
It Is exactly IJke one mule calling an-

legislation that constitutes somethin*

The measure, as I said. Is national

the financial status of some 2£00 com
munities which the bill calls taxing
districts. This list of taxing districts
Includes municipalities, counties, bor
oughs, Tillages, parishes, townships,
and Incorporated taxing districts such
as schools, drainage, Irrigation, levs*
sewer, paring, sanitary, port, or any
other districts In which Improvements
have been made In bonds and sold to
pay for them. In order to take ad
vantage of the provisions of the law,
the taxing district must declare Itself
to be Insolvent and unable to pay the
Interest or principal of the debt The
officials of the taxing district may pe-

arrange Its debt on a new basis, but
the court must be shown that st least

! won’t even suggest that I can
guess what the ultimate effect of these
strange arguments is going to be.
Anyone who tries to predict the result
st this time Is Just being silly. The
best judgment I can get Is that the re
sults In the various congressional dis
tricts are going to vary; The differ
ence likely will be dependent entire
ly upon bow many mistakes—plain
bonekead statements—the various can
didates make in their attempts to fol
low arguments and analyses laid down
for them by the national political com
mittees. My belief Is that there wtil
be plenty of them and there ought to
be, therefore, a considerable amount
of surprise when the votes are
counted.
It Is quite apparent to the Demo
cratic leaders, and they say ao, that a
number of house skats, now held by
Democrats, will be turned over to the

ament of what amounts to bankruptcy,
and the bondholders get new securities
which are marketable and have some
thing like their face value because the
Interest will be paid. This privllegs
is extended for only two years, but It
Is the general understanding that the
communities concerned will be able
to accomplish settlements with their
creditors much sooner than that, and
It is obviously hoped also that Im
proved financial conditions through
out the nation will make the Job of
rearranging the debts easier than H
was a few years ago.
The bill did not get through con
gress without a fight It had plenty
of opposition from members who con
tended It was a step toward repudia
tion of debts, a thing always to be ab
horred. There was argument also that
by granting permission for the munici
palities and taxing districts to force
such compromise as will result, the
congress was making such securities
less attractive to tnveston:

however, the talk develops Jibes and

until recently discussion of NRA had
been confined to serious asgument,
very often of a heated character.
Lately, however, jokes and pans about
NRA have been emerging wKb greater
frequency and there art now a con
