REVISED SHOE CODE

On1cials Of the n r. A. expressed
the hope yesterday that a revised
shoe code embodying terms Of q settle
ment between rival groups of shoe
manufacturers would be In their hands
by tomorrow.
Administrators were confident the
differences between the two associa-
tions over directing the industry,
question threatening a deadlock, had
been amicably settled. The date for
a public hearing was expected to be
set shortly after submission OF the
code.
Oficials Of the National Boot & Shoe
Manufacturers Association, headed by
j. o. Ball, managing director remained
in the Capital to draft the revised
code. Cleveland A. Newton, counsel
for the American Shoe Manufacturers,
returned to st. Louis yesterday express
ing confidence an agreement had been
reached which would assure repre-
sentation of the entire industry on the
controlling board.
The code originally offered by the
National Boot & Shoe Manufacturers
Association would set up the board of
directors of that body as the admin
istering agency The American Shoe
Manufacturers, whose leaders main
tanned that the national association
represented only a small section of the
industry, offered an amendment setting
up an elective body.

COAL CODE SOUGHT
+. BY NEW TACTICS
U. S. Officials Start Confer.
ences to Wipe Out Small
Differences.

By the Associated Press.
The Recovery Administration turned
to new tactics last night in its deter
mined effort to bring the bituminous
coal industry under a code of fair COM
petition.
Abandoning Fridays plan Of having
a committee Of about 80 producers work
out their own code at a round table
conference, administration officials
started series of conferences with in
dividuals or small groups of operators
to adjust disputed points In the agree
ment.
1t was understood q code prepared by
the administration would be the focal
point of the discussions. That code
was based on the 20 different agree
ments submitted by the industry.
The new procedure was decided upon
in the interest of speed. Deputy Ad-
ministrator Kenneth M. Simpson said,
however, 1t would be impossible to meet
President Roosevelt's request for code
last night The administration was d1-
recting every effort to have the agree
ment ready for signature early this
week.
johnson Asks Action.
Hugh S johnson, the recovery chief,
talked to the committee Of 80 briefly
in his office yesterday afternoon. He
told the operators he wanted single,
simple code and wanted it quickly, and
that he believed they could get together
to draw it up.
johnson said the demands Of certain
groups of administrative autonomy were
justified to a certain extent, and that
some provision for autonomy should be
included.
Most Of the operators professed no
knowledge of what ideas the admins
tration had about minimum wages and
maximum working hours. Administra
tion officials refused to discuss those
phases of the code.
One rumor said the administration
tentatively had decided upon the $5-a-
day basic scale for underground labor,
with q Accent differential for the
South. and 36hour average week.
That went unconfirmed
Open Shop Clause.
1t was generally believed by the coal
men themselves that the open shop
clause in the non-union code was out
Of the question.
John D. A. Morrow Of Pittsburgh, r.
Taggart of Philadelphia, James D.
Francis of Huntington. w. Va, and
Charles O'Neill Of New York, leaders Of
the non-union group. conferred at
length with Donald Richberg. general
counsel for the administration, about
Interpretation of the labor provisions of
the recovery act.
Although they declined to discuss the
conference, it was understood they were
great deal nearer an understanding
that would lead to withdrawal of their
opposition to code without an OPEN
shop clause than they had been pre-
viously.
The non-union group has insisted
that something be done to prevent
blanket unionization of their mines.
There appeared to be a definite spirit
Of hopefulness among the operators last
night that the code could be worked
out within a few days.

AUTOMOBILE CODE
COMPROMISE SEEN
Industry's Agreement to
Eliminate Open Shop Refer
ence Growing Possibility.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A compromise offer eliminating ref
erence to the open shop from the au-
tomobile code was discussed yesterday
by representatives Of the industry. with
a growing possibility that such course
would be followed.
AS the plan took shape in informal
conferences the disputed section would
still contain a statement that individual
merit. regardless of union membership,
would govern the hiring and promotion
of workers.
Such an arrangement. the motor car
manufacturers felt. would be in con-
formity with the idea of Hugh S. john
son, N R. A administrator, as outlined
at the automobile hearings by Donald
Richberg counsel to the recovery or
ganiZation.
Point of Disagreement
The disagreement centers upon the
following paragraph in the code as SUD-
mitted:
Under the foregoing provision (the
mandatory statement of the right of the
workers to bargain colleCtively) the
employers in the industry may continue
the open shop policy under which the
selection. retention and advancement OF
employees will be on the basis of lndl-
yidual merit without regard to their
affiliation or non-affiliation with any
labor or other organization
Under the compromise discussed yes
terday the words open shop would be
eliminated.
expressed by Richberg in the following
words:
Explicitly. he (Johnsonl states that
in his opinion it is proper tunder the
recovery regulations for an employer to
maintain a policy under which men
may be employed whether they belong
to a union or not and whereby their
selection. retention and advancement
will be on the basis Of individual merit
without regard to their aflllatlon or
-affiliation with any labor or other
organization.
Open Shop Criticism.
Richberg, however, went on to criticize
the open shop" phrase. He was WILL
ing to accept the induStry's explanation
that no intent to evade the law was in
volved, he said but he felt it would be
generally interpreted as a declaration
by the industry of refusing to comply
with the recovery laws guarantee OF
collective bargaining.
Such a statement should certainly

to the administration for approval he
said.
With the open shop controversy ap-
parently headed for solution. the prlncl-
pal remaining point of interest was
Henry Ford's refusal thus far to sub
scribe to the code. There was much
speculation in this connection, lnclud-
ing a report that Ford intends to sub
init a code of his own. but N. R. A. otfl-
cials said they had received no word
from the manufacturer.

HOSPITALS ARE EXEMPT
FROM RECOVERY PROGRAM

Hospitals not engaged in trade or in
dustry do not come under the pro-
visions of the national industrial re-
covery act, Donald Richberg, counsel
for the Recovery Administration, ruled
yesterday
However. it was pointed out, there is
nothing to prevent such institutions
from complying with the Presidents
voluntary Blue Eagle agreement.
They are under no compulSion to
do Richberg said, "other than that re-
sulting from the desire to cooperate
where appropriate, and so far as pos
sible. with a general program of re-

wages To the extent that labor Is en-
ployed in occupations comparable with
those engaged in trade or industry, 1t Is,
