 Washington. Sept 6.-(UP?-- Challenged by the passive resist ance of Henry Ford, the admin istration appeared to-day to be moving toward Q spectacular test to determine. whether public opinion will swing an effective club to enforce the national recovery program.
 There are large teeth in the re- coyery net. But the administration knows that in the final show down, its program stands or falls upon the measure of popular sup port behind 1t. .
 Unless President Roosevelt should unexpectedly reverse Gen. eral Johnson there will be no at- tempt to invoke official measures against the pioneer of mass pro- duction and high wages. Omcials do not want to make Q martyr of Ford. Rather the public will be encouraged to pass by salesmen whose cars bear no blue eagle.
 Some have urged General John. son to make an example of Ford and snap NRA's teeth on this prominent industrial figure who has chosen to go 1t alone. Therefore. under the law the president could draw up Q code and impose 1t on Ford. But sensing the danger of stir ring up sympathy for Q manufac- turer whose high wages and short hours have been a trademark in industry for 20 years, administra- ] ton opinion here appears set against any strong-arm action which might be construed as per- secution in behalf of a technicality. As the situation stood to-day Johnson was resting on his state- ment that the next move was up to Ford and that the government would do nothing unless Ford vio- lated provisions of the code.
 Johnson said the only penalty was that Ford would not get the blue eagle, that the government would buy no equipment from a concern which did not come under the eagle, and that he believed the public would feel the same way.
 Now the case Is before the court of public opinion. If Ford can go on selling his cars, the public pressure upon which the govern ment is relying will have failed In a crucial test. Many here would in that case expect the MIRA move- ment to lose much of its force. Ford sales will be closely watched by every industrialist who has chafed under the MIRA require ments.
 Difficulty of disciplining Ford arises out of the fact that there is no complaint against his wages and hours. Chiefly at stake is the principle of whether he shall be forced to sign on the dotted line and thus come into the coopera- tive administration enterprise. Johnson insists 1t is just as im- portant that an employer sign up and join in the cooperative move ment as it is that he individually maintain decent working condi- tions.

 Agricultural Workers
 Many questions have been rais- ed as to the status of agricultural employment agreement. Official In- depreciation No. 6 states that ag- ricuitural workers are not intend ed to be covered by the P. R. A. The following interpretation of Agricultural Workers" has been approved by Dr. Leo Wolman, chairman of the national recovery administrators labor advisory board, Charles Brand. co-adminis- trator of tho agricultural adjust- ment administration and Wayne c. Taylor. executive assistant to CO., administrator Geo. Peck:
 Agricultural workers are all those employed by farmers on the farm when they are engaged in growing and preparing for sale the products of soil or livestock; al- so, all labor used in growing and commodities for market In original perishable fresh form. When work CTS are employed in processing 6 IuTH prOuuCtS pr preparing them for market. beyond the state cus- tomarily performed within the area of production, such workers are not to be deemed agricultural workers"
 Tho Consumers Responsibility
 Every individual. man or woman who buys anything, owes 1t to hlm- self and his community and to tho nation, to buy only from those ems ployers who have taken the in- creased burden of increasing nay rolls to bring back prosperity. This is the self f-interost of the con- sumer because no citizen can fail to share in this added prosperity It will reflect itself in increased d values for everything he owns. IL will make his present position more secure hy rcserving the pro- cess of dehation.
 So every consumer should sign the consumers pledge, which com mits him to do his part in this great national economic experi- Ynant
