MONOPOL|ES SAID
TODOM|NATE CODE
Senator Nye Tells Johnson
Electrical Agreement Ruins
Small Industries.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
In an open letter to Hugh s. john
son. Senator Nye, Republican, Of North
Dakota, charged yesterday that some
N. r. A. codes have resulted in perpetu-
ating monopolies and driving small In
dustries out of business.
He cited particularly the case of the
Independent incandescent lamp manu-
facturers who have been struggling for
years, he said, against the unfair COM
petition Of that octopus of the electrical
industry, the General Electric Co."
Nye said the independents had been
forced to operate under one drafted
from hearings in which Gerard Swope,
president of the General Electric, par
ticipated as industrial adviser
When the code was approved. he
added, Swope resigned from the N. r.
A. to accept a position with the au-
thority which administers the code.
Il think you can readily appreciate
the enormous advantage the monopo-
listic group thus enjoyed in the prepa-
ration of the electrical code and con-
tinues to enjoy in its administration
Nye added.
He said Congress In approving the
recovery act did so in the belief that
it was the purpose of the Roosevelt ad-
miniStration - administer this act so
as to protect the small business men
the ndependents-from the ruthless
practices of the monopoliItc groups"
With much reluctance" he added,
"I am forced to the conclusion that in
some instances the effect of the codes
adopted for various industries Is to
perpetuate monopolies and to drive
small industrial units out Of business
by compelling them to abide by the
provisions Of the codes as to wages and
hours, and yet offering to them no pro-
lection from the unconscionable meth
DDS employed against them by thosa
seeking to continue their monopolistic
privileges"

STEWARD WARNS OF "sPons."
Attacks Raiders" for Undermining
Merit System.


Luther c. Steward, president Of the
National Federation Of Federal En-
ployes, declared that the merit sys-
tenn itself is in jeopardy and at every
turn one finds evidence of undermining,
of tearing down." in an address yes
terday before the fifth Eastern States
Regional Conference of the Civil Serv-
ice Assembly of the United States and
Canada at Trenton, N. j.
The federation leader asserted the
merit sSytem is under heavy fire and
that numerous instances are to be
found where the structure Of the sys-
tenn has given way before "the on
slaught of spoilsmen."
"A strong Federal employees organi-
cation" he said, setting its face direct
ly against these attacks upon the merit
system Is the greatest influence to Sc
cure for taxpayers a full measure of
service for every dollar expended"
Mr.. Steward also declared that en-
ployes themselves are largely RESPONSE
BILE for raising the standards of efici-
ency in civil service and cited the
classification law as result Of their
efforts. The United States service,
however, he said, does not compare
favorably with the Canadian or British
civil service.
The federation, a member of the
Civil Service Assembly, was repre-
sented by Mr.. Steward and Miss Ger
trude M. NcNally, secretary-treasurer.
Harry B. Mitchell, president Of the
