The steering committee itself will convcve again on Saturday.
 Nadolny's statement of Ger many's intentions was merely q brief announcement, which failed to discuss the Roich's latest pres- sure for re-armament, on equality with France, at the end of the pro- posed trial period of disarmament.
 His declaration came, in n sense, as reply to Arthur Henderson of Great Britain, who had out lined the difficulties facing the conference.
 Two principle difficulties, Hen derson had pointed out, faced the conference. They were:
 l. A system of penalties for vio- lation of whatever convention is achieved.
 2. Application of the principle of arms equality.
 Henderson recommended that the steering committee postpone any further meetings until Satur- day, in order to permit private me- gotiations in an attempt to solve the difference of opinion still existing. particularly regarding the question of defensive weapons claimed by the disarmed countries during the experimental period {; and the question of penalties to be exacted for violation of the con- vention terms"

 Months Old Girl

Permanent Codes
 Swell Employment
Seventeen Recently Approved By Roosevelt May
 Mean Work for 100000

workers, the survey disclosed.
 with the addition of the in dustrial codes signed on october 3 to those previously approved, near ly 50 per cent of New England's s industrial activity, measured by number of workers, is now, or soon will be operating under permanent codes of fair competition drawn up under the MIRA" the council an- nouncement points out These codes have the effect of law and violations of their provisions carry definite penalties. Although only about 30 per cent of New Eng lands manufacturing plants are under code provisions, about 47 per cent of the industrial wage earn CTS of the region are employed in these plants and 43 per cent of our industrial payroll Is represented, This represents about 5000 man. ufacturing establishments employ ing normally over 600,000 wage earners,
 "Out of the 46 industrial codes already approved, 32 affect indus tries which are of substantial im- portance in New England" the council statement disclosed. This fact and the fact that there still remains about 50 per cent of New England's industrial production not affected by codes are striking evl- dence of New England's industrial diversitication," 1t was declared,
 In addition to tho purely in- dustrial codes a number of codes have been approved which apply to Now England employers and employees in other fields of business actlvty. Tho marketing section of the petroleum code affects directly or indirectly the business opera tions Of l1,000 New Engalnd estab- lishmcnts, employing over 25,000 persons, engaged in the distrlbu- ton of gasoline, oil, and other pet rolcum products at retail. The legitimate theater code applies only to a very Tinted group In New England, Tho transit code applying to electric railways and automobile bus lines affects a con- siderable number of New England workers although 1t Is difficult to determine tho exact number. The U. S. census shows 27i,000 persons engaged In tho transportation in- dustry in New England and u sizcable proportion or this number would come under tho transit code.
 "The code applying to auto mobile retail sales includes 3,062 automobile dealers In New Eng land representing an employment of over 25,000 persons, Tho retail lumber dealers code npplys to S14 establishments in this section om- ploying normally over 5000 work CTS
 "The banking code affects over 1000 such institutions In the six New England states representing u considerable volume of employ mont.
 "A fairly close estimate would place the total number of employ crs now operating under perman- ont codes in New England at around 2l,00o and employing over 725,000 persons. It has been esti- mated that thero arc about 2,700,- 900 gainful workers In New Eng land employed In establishments which may eventually be brought under permanent codes. It is evi- dent, therefore that only slightly over one quarter of Now England's total business activity Is to date operating under permanent op- proved codes"

 The magazine Steel report esti- mated steel operations for the country at 3S per cent of capacity, unchanged from the previous week. This first break in 'seven- week decline in production" the maga- zine said, resulted from pressure for deliveries against third quarter contracts which the steel code re- quires to be effected by october 15."

 Under the temporary food code In operation since August 1 the A. and P. has increased It's annual pay roll by more than $10,000,000. MT Wheeler said, The permanent gro. cery code as now proposed would wipe out this increase and $9,0OO.- 900 besides, he said at the MIRA hearing.
