UP IN THE AIR.
JOHNSON VIEW
Of COAL CODE
Sees "DifticuIty With Miners
About It, But Well Take
Care of That"

CLEVELAND. July 20 0N.S).
Predicting a fight over the ac-
ceptance of the coal industrial
code, Gen. Hugh S. Johnson,
chief of the national recovery
forces, left Cleveland today, bound
for Washington.
The recovery administrator de-
parted in the Army plane which
brought him here yesterday from
Detroit with the code for the au-
tomobile industry bulging in his
pocket.
His visit to Cleveland was
mainly for the purpose of inspir-
ing Ohio employers to adopt
codes, he assured friends.
Makes Two Speeches
General johnson delivered two
addresses, one at the public
square, where thousands had
gathered to greet him.
Appearing pleased over the
automobile code, he said he was
eager to get back to Washington
to complete the other codes.
General johnson was asked II
he had seen the new coal code,
which was filed late yesterday
in Washington.
Up in the Air
He replied:
Gosh, that's all I have seen
in the past few days.
"What do I think of it? Oh,
it's still up here"
He waved his hand above his
head. Then he said:
There probably will be sOme
difficulty with the miners about
it, but we'll take care of that.
That's one of the things / want
to get busy ON when / get back
to Washington"
The administrator said he had
not seen the rubber code.

HowVoluntary Codes
Are to Be Applied

Effect employers and sUorkers of interpreta-
tions by the legal staff of the NRA the voluntary
codes follouUs:
Employers themselves can determine 'equitable ad
justments in wages, outside the minimum wage group
if they sign the Presidents agreement and also join in
the submission Of code before September l.
But the NRA the right to review all equitable
adjustments and announced decisions.
Employers warned that they cannot reduce wages
Of those above the minimum wage group to compensate
them for bringing low-paid workers up to minimum
In making adjustments of wages above the minimum
wage group employers urged to maintain the
wage for reduced hours if possible.
This would require fivesevenths increase of hourly
pay in 6Ohour-aweek group, which legal aides said
would be too great for the employer to bear fair in
crease would be acceptable.
An employer who believes that particular provision
Of the agreement will work great hardship may appeal
for stay from the NRA
The blue eagle of the NRA will be issued only upon
filing Of certificate of compliance with the code with
adjustments to follow soon thereafter
Employers expected to sign the Presidents agree.

PAY PROVISIONS
Of CODE HIT
AS UNFAIR
Manufacturers Are Warned by
Their Association to Insist
on Reservations
By International News Service

AS the legal staff of the NRA
was preparing its Interpretation
of the Presidents voluntary code
provisions, the National Manu-
facturers' Association today is
sued a warning to employers to
insist upon safeguards before
signing the agreement.
The warning, which was pre-
pared by General Counsel James
A. Emery, was approved unan1-
mously at a meeting of the board
of directors.
UnfairneSs Is Charged
The pay provisions, the asso-
ciation's bulletin declared, penal
ize the employer who has paid high
wages during the depression and
benefit the employer who has
maintained a low-wage scale.
Insisting that manufacturers
cannot pay hourly workers the
same weekly wage under the
short-week agreement. the asso-
citation gave as reasons:
Thousands of industries
drained by economic conditions
cannot pay the increase pend
ing delay in getting higher
prices for their products. Small
manufacturers would be espe-
cially hit.
Generous PenaliZed
Penalties the employer who
has dealt generously with labor
and who already pays more than
the minimum.
Gives unfair advantage to the
low-paying employer because it
maintains the wage spread be-
tween them and the high-wage
employers.
Where industries pay bonus in
addition to a high guaranteed
wage, the bonus rates would be
raised.
The associations chief objec-
tions apparently were met by the
Recovery Administrations an
nouncement that, temporarily, en-
ployers' can make their own wage
adjustments.

To FIGHT
OPEN SHOP IN
COAL CODE
Industry's Plan includes Pay
Raise of $50, o,000,O 900 a Year
For $4,000 Men
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
The vast bituminous coal indus
try was brought nearer to rule
under the industrial recovery act
today with the filing of a code of
fair competition designed to raise
the pay of $4,000 miners more
than $50, 600. 900 a year.
The code was filed by operators
of Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio,
West Virginia, Eastern Kentucky,
Tennessee, and Virginia.
Unions to Fight Code
A battle was presaged when
hearings are held on the code,
however, as union mine leaders
prepared to fight the "open shop"
provisions.
Under the code, collective bar
gaining is recognized but it is
provided that employers shall not
be required to deal with other
than those working in the mines.
Under the code a daily mini
mum wage ranging from So to 81
would be instituted in the north
ern fields and from $3.50 to $3.50
a day in the southern fields.
North Represented
The Northern Coal Control AS
sociation, representing Pennsyl-
vania, Eastern Ohio, and North
ern West Virginia, and the smoke
less and Appalachian Coal Asso-
citation, representing southern
West Virginia, Kentucky, and
Tennessee, were parties.
The two associations asked
their members to put the mini
mum wage provisions into effect
Immediately. A blanket code will
not be attempted.
The territory affected by the
wage increases produces approx
mately 70 per cent of all the
bituminous coal output of the
country.
Child Labor Barred
The proposed coal code pro-
vides:
Employe may work eight
hours in one day, with 4O-hour
week maximum.
Child labor under Is years
of age is abolished.
Maximum of 40 hours may
be extended to 4S to fill con-
tracts made before code was
formulated.
Predating or postdating of
invoice or contract to avoid
code provisions is forbidden,

Internal Dissension an
ANNOYANCE to Washington

On August 23. 1892, President
Washington wrote long letter to
Thomas Jefferson. his secretary of
state, dealing with certain intrigues
between the Spaniards and several
southern Indian tribes, and he added
this Thought:
"How unfortunate and how much
to be regretted is it then, that, while
we are encompassed on all sides with
avowed enemies and insidious friends,
internal dissensions should be harrow
ing and tearing our vitals." He ex-
pressed the fear that party politics.
which then was rearing it's head for
the first time in our history, would
weaken and wreck the Union.
Three days. later he wrote to Alex
ander Hamilton. his secretary of the
treasury. pointing out the destructive
character of party feelings:
Differences in political opinions are
as unavoidable as, to a certain extent.
they may perhaps be necessary; but
1t is exceedingly to be regretted that
subjects cannot be discussed with
temper on the one hand. or decisions
submitted to without having the mo-
tives which led to them Improperly
implicated on the other; and this re-
gret borders on chagrin when we find
that men of abilities, jealous patrl-
OTIS having the same general object in
view and the same upright intentions
to prosecute them, will not exercise
more charity In deciding on the opin-
ions and actions of one another"
The occasion for this advice was
the fact that Hamilton and Jefferson

What quenchless fires of destiny
Burned in his breast who led them
