JOHNSON SESSION
IS BARRED TO TRUE
Correspondent Had Been Ac.
cused of Inaccurate and
LibeIous Representations.

James True, who writes a weekly
business letter for circulation to busi-
ness organizations and newspapers, was
barred from Gen. Hugh S. Johnsons
semi-weekly press conference late yes
terday.
True. who was notified by Gen. John
son last week that he would not be
welcome at future conferences, never
theless appeared and asked to be ad-
mitted. At the door of the generals
Office; and with nearly 200 reporters
present, True was stopped by William
v. Lawson of the N. R. A. press de-
partment.
Lawson told True he couldn't be ad-
mitted, whereupon True produced a
telegram from trade journal author
iZing him to cover the conference.
Lawson, nevertheless, declined to per-
init him to attend and True departed
After the incident at the door. other
newspaper men were asked to identify
themselves. The N. r. A. issued rule
that only bona fide newspaper and
trade magazine representatives would
be allowed to attend hereafter.
True was barred because of a letter
that Gen. Johnson charged was mac
curate and libelous. After yesterday S
conference, True issued formal state
ment defending his position and charg-
ing that the prohibition placed against
his attendance was threat against the
freedom of the press.

UNFAIR PRACTICES
IN TRADE PR0bED
Study to Eliminate Waste
Costing Millions Begun
Under FiIene.

Efforts to eliminate unfair trade
practices, particularly between buyer
and seller and between producer and
distributor, are to be made by a new
committee appointed today by Gerard
SWope, chairman of the Business Ad-
visory and Planning Council. set up a
few months ago by Secretary Of Com
merce Roper.
Lincoln Filene of Boston was named
chairman and under his direction a
study will be made on which will be
based an organized drive against large
economic waste which now handicaps
business as a result of such practices.
Other members of the committee are
Everett G. Griggs, Tacoma, Wash; Lu-
ciuS Eastman, New York; DR.. Paul F.
Nystrom, professor of marketing at Co
lumbia University; L. D. H. Weld, New
York; Roy Dickinson, New York; John
S. Burke, New York; James A. Gold
smith, New York, and Morris E. Leeds,
Philadelphia. They will be called the
Committee on Unfair Trade Practices
in Production and Distribution.
Millions Wasted.
According to Mr. Filene, unfair bus
mess practices are of two kinds, those
that occur between competitors and
those that affect buyer and seller. The
work of the committee will, at first, be
confined to the latter field, which here
tofore has not been covered by any Or
ganiZed study on large scale. Mr..
Filene believes unfair practices of this
sort have created wastes amounting to
millions of dollars annually.
This huge sum. the committee chair
man feels, must be saved to the public,
which eventually pays the bill, saving
which will tend to keep prices within
a reasonable level.
Public or Labor Pays.
In any case, Mr.. Filene contends,
either the public pays the bill or labor
is paid lower wages to take care of the
waste for which unfair practices are
responsible.
These consequences he said, "are
equally unfortunate and the public
should be vitally interested in securing
relief from this burden which they are
bearing whether they realize it or not.
While the country knows of unfair trade
practices, it has not the least concep-
tion of how serious the problem is and
to what extent these practices appear
in the guise of more or less established
business customs.
Business men of the country are
faced today with an opportunity of be-
ginning process of house cleaning
which over the years most certainly
will make for more profitable business,
more stable business and more social
stability"

Meanwhile, high officials in the auto

Says 1900 Are on Strike.
Matthew Smith of Flint secretary of
the Joint Strike Committee of Flint,
Pontiac and Detroit, however, claimed
1900 men were on strike, OF which
$4,000 were in Detroit.
He contended between 80 and 95
of oil lorc in
affected plants we're on strike and that
only the Ford Motor Co. was not in
volved He also claimed the jobbers
and independent tool makers were
willing to deal with the strikers organ
ization, the .Machinists' Educational
Society of America, and were willing to
grant the mems demand on wages and
hours, but that the big companies re-
fused and strikers would not return
to the jobbing plants for fear the big
automobile manufacturers would throw
all their tool work to these plants and
shut down their own department.
The manufacturers group asserted
that at the peak of the strike in De-
troit only $500 men walked out; that
no attempt at collective bargaining was
made by them and that the strikers re-
fused to enter an agreement at confer
ences conducted by John M. Carmody,
Labor Board representative.
~Also, owing to loss of business, manu-
facturers claimed it would be impossible
for them to employ more than the num-
ber of men now at work and that it was
not possible to increase wages.
