isn't doing it-and to President
William Green Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. Both of them
have organized systems for watch
ing and catching the code evaders.
MI. Green has instructed all union
men to keep an eye on things
throughout the country and a report
to him any suspected violation Of
codes; he then reports to General
Johnson. In this way a closer
scrutiny Of code chiselers than the
government could institute is made
possible. Clothing manufacturers
especially have been accused Of
evading their code, and strikes in
that industry resulted in both New
York and Chicago. The former was
soon settled by compromise.
COME time ago Administrator
- Johnson limited that the banks
were not doing their part In the re-
covery program, and he has now
persuaded them to relax credit ex-
tension conditions and thereby make
money available in the channels of
general commerce. To begin with,
he conferred with members of the
federal reserve board and Jesse
Jones, chairman Of the Reconstruc-
ton Finance corporation, concern
ing methods by which the bankers
might be induced to grant loans on
classes of security which they have
not been willing to accept.
Bankers ought to resume the
financing of ordinary commercial op-
erations," General Johnson said. 81
have studied the figures on CONNER
cial credit trends recently, and I
do not think they indicate much
loosening up on the part Of the
bankers.
"We are working on that now,
but listen, the ordinary banker
wants sound risks. Most Of them
got pretty badly burnt in past years,
and we've got to establish some ba-
sis for assuring them safety.
II don't believe you can force ex-
tension Of credit by fat. The whole
trouble in this country has been lack
Of confidence by all classes Of peo-
pie, and we've got to do what we
can to bring confidence in business,
in loans, and in the future back
again."

the mobilization Of more than q

them to the frontier to reinforce the
troops patrolling there If the Nazi

angry debates over main points
~ divergence, especially the open
.bop question, Johnson was certain
Tho automobile code would be COM
nleted within few days. Donald
RIchberg, NRA general counsel
asked that the open shop clause be
eliminated because 1t left doubt as
10 whether the industry accepted the
collective bargaining provision. The
motor car manufacturers seemed dis
posed to agree to this without sur
rendering the policy.
Every one was anxious to learn
what stand Henry Ford would take,
but he maintained deep silence. MIR.
Ford Is the only large automobile
manufacturer who is not member
Of the National Automobile Chamber
Of Commerce. Hitherto he has In
sisted on his right to bargain with
bis workers without the Intervention
Of unions. That he may alter this
policy, voluntarily or otherwise, was
Indicated by dispatches from Edge
water, N. j., which said the en-
ployees Of the Ford assembling
plant there were organizing under
the auspices of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. In the past Mr..
Ford has maintained the open shop
by meeting or exceeding the de-
mands of organized labor In pay and
working conditions. 1t was thought
possible he would adopt similar
course In the matter Of the blue
eagle code.
Coal operators, according to Gen
eral Johnson, were all displaying a
cooperative spirit that insured an
early agreement for the bituminous
industry, and the representatives of
the miners appeared to accept COM
promises on the question in debate.
QY LABOR day the Oil code will
- go into effect, and the industry
generally will support it although it

Standard Oil of Indiana did not wait

out put all its refineries on code
schedules of hours and wages. The
part-time system was abandoned, re-
sultlng In ID per cent increase in
the total wage payment and a corre-
spending Increase in the purchasing
