to Johnson: w. Woolston Of the labor
advisory board and Kilbourne John
SON son of the administrator.
The hope Is tnat this board may
speed study of the many pending codes
and order into temporary effect as
many of them as are acceptable. Later,
all will be studied in public hearings
and notifications made. If any are
necessary, before they are promulgated
by President Roosevelt and made per-
manent
This move will augment the continu-
ing attempt to get employers to sign
individual agreements with the Presl-
dent to raise wages and shorten work
ing hours. One major purpose Of the
temporary codes Is to apply them to
dental agreement Is too inelastic for
their purposes.
100000 Jobs Sought.
Behind the tWo-Way drive is the an
nounced objective of 50000 900 new jobs
by Labor day, less than month away.
Pressure, meanwhile. will be put on
tagging employers by the many local
organizations now being established.
johnson and his agents III the Capt.

their problem today while travelling
mediator, Edward F.. McGrady, assist
ant administrator for labor, went into
Pennsylvania to ask recalcitrant miners
to go back to work under the terms OF
the strike truce johnson obtained. From
Pennsylvania McGrady will fly to Mas
sachusetts for discussions with differing
employers and workers In the boot
and shoe industry.
The National Cancellation Board at
the same time was considering its prob
lens. Its first meeting, informal, found

DR.. Leo Wolman. chairman Of the

visory Board, presided.
Will Take Up Strikes.
DR. Wolman said that among other
things the board named by President
Roosevelt likely would select soon sub
committees to take up the Pennsyl-
vania hosiery and Hollywood motion
picture strikes.
Gen Johnson said no specific date
had been set for attempting to COM
plete the drive to bring all employers
under either temporary or permanent
codes.
While he hopes that within the next
two weeks this can be accomplished
and the signal given for consumers to
buy only from Blue Eagle firms, he
pointed out that the time depended
upon the speed with which the Re

codes presented and give spproyals.
