AUTO CODE SEEN
AS TESTING GROUND
Right to Hire and Fire Held
Conflicting to Labor
Unions.
By the Associated Press.


The first testing ground of labor's
new National Recovery Administration
guarantees may be provided by auto
mobile manufacturing, one OF Amer
ica's youngest basic industries. Em-
ployers in the automobile plants, which
furnish employment to 10000 workers,
insist on maintaining the right to hire
and fire without regard to union con-
nections.
II N. r. A.-pledged provisions of
union organization and the right of
collective bargaining are violated, or
ganized labor officials intimated today,
the question will be taken to court.
Ever since manufacturers began turn
ing out automobiles on q factory basis
IN 1900 they have operated their plants
on an open-shop basis. They say they
have been successful, paying high wages,
asking short hours and experiencing a
minimum of labor trouble.
Omcials Of the American Federation
OF Labor said that organization made
strong effort to unionize the auto
mobile industry in 1929. but abandoned
the attempt early in 1880 because of
economic conditions. They added, how
ever, that local efforts to this end had
been carried on for years.
In 1909 automotive production crossed
the 100000 mark and started on q
period Of rapid expansion that was un-
checked until the peak year of 1929.
During this time, the manufacturers
say, theirs was developing industry
and they were unwilling to be bound
by definite labor contracts. The Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce said labor surpluses were steadily
ceSsion set in.
The automotive industry was the first
to embark on mass production But,
even So the manufacturers argued, in
dividual merit was not obscured As an
example Of merit rewarded. they point
ed to Walter Chrysler, who rose from
the factory to the head Of a great
