National Campaign

The threat of a national boycott
If necessary to the success of the
NRA was hurled today by Admin
istrator Hugh S. johnson as d
cleavage between johnson ano
other high NRA officials was re
vealed.
johnson said:
81 do not believe the Gov.
ernment will buy where the
firms selling the goods are not
under the Blue Eagle"
High Administration officials
are not convinced he ought tc
have his way in this. Presiden;
Roosevelt himself may have to
decide the issue.
Pressure to Be Used.
Ample time will be allowed every
concern to come under the "Blue
Eagles" wings, or stay out, but
full pressure VIII be brought
against those that stay out
Power to decide when the boy
colt must be applied, and against
whom, will remain with Johnson
Johnson stated that his plan
to have the Government follow a
boycott of it's own against those
firms that refuse to comply with
the codes or Presidential agree
ments merely follows what the
Government is asking the public
to do.
No Dcadline Fixed.
johnson said there was no two
week deadline, or any other
deadline, for adopting the Blue
Eagle emblem. He said:
"Some firms have been held
up by us, right here. We want
to be fair to them. But at the
proper time we are going to
start out with a campaign that
will ask the public to buy under
the Blue Eagle, designed to
move goods"
No Blue Eagle is going to be
awarded except where a firm com
plies with the requirements. When
it adopts a code, then breaks that
code in any way, the insignia will
be withdrawn, and it will not be
given back, he warned.
No Local Control
The reluctance of local COM
mittees to apply the boycott, re
ported from New York and other
points, was met with the state
ment that these committees will
not be asked to decide this queS
ton. johnson stated that full
initiative will be retained by him
He augmented his own immediate
staff by adding policy board and
other committees.
The policy board will handle ap
plications for approval Of modified
codes, where substitutions are de-
sired for the standardized provl
sions originally asked.
Announcement was made also OF
plan to select leading authorities
for service as advisers on the varl
ous industrial codes scheduled FOL
hearing. Prof. George w. Taylor
of the economics department, Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, an au
thority on the hosiery trade, viii
serve during hearings beginning
tomorrow on the hosiery code.

Cd Al HEARING
BATTLES OVER
OPEN SHOP
Bitter Fight on Company Union
Clause of Code Starts as
Sessions Open

A bitter fight ragged before the
NRA today over a company
union proposal offered in the
code of the Northern and Appa-
lachian Coal Association, repre-
senting two-thirdS of the bitumi-
nous industry in America.
Charles O'Neill, spokesman for
the new association, was urged
by Donald r. Richberg, general
counsel for NRA, to withdraw
this proposal from the code. He
refused, declaring:
1--WE think it is necessary to
clarity other provisions"
Permits Price Fixing
Richberg drew from O'Neill an
admission that the code would
permit operators to unite for pro-
duction control and price fixing,
while at the same time denying
to labor it's right to organize.
O'Neill's proposal was to place
two-thirds of the bituminous coal
industry of the United States on
a company union basis, with con-
troll of the industry vested in the
coal barons themselves. He asked
that a committee Of IL operators
be permitted to fix prices and
deal on a company union basis
with their employees, free from in
reference by the Federal Govern
ment. He said:
"What We want to do is to
run an open shop for union and
nOnuniOn men,"
Richberg asked:
"Have you not provided for
very extensive joint operation
by employers and at the same
time denied this privilege to
empIOyeS?"
O'Neill replied:
"The law requires only that
the employer deal with his own
employees"
This Interpretation was chal-
lenged by Richberg, who helped
draft the act.
O'Neill asserted that the 81
basic daily wage was the utmost
the operators could pay and re-
main in business.
O'Neill gave the opinion that
operation of the code would re-
suit in very little additional en-
ployment. He declared it would
result, however in higher wages
and more regular employment.
johnson Asks Unity
Hugh s. johnson, industrial re-
covery administrator, in a brief
opening address pleaded for co.
operation. He said:
Nothing can impress the
difficulties Of the bituminOus
coal situation so much as the
Jealous, earnest efforts that
have been given for weeks in
preparation for this hour.
"The goal of the hearings is
a satisfactory solution of the
main problems confronting the
coal induStry-a solution ac-
ceptable to every one"
johnson warned that the coal
SITUATION, which IN TeCeHC years
has involved labor disputes and
widespread disorders, was "the
most difficult situation with which
we have had to deal"
The union offensive is led
by John L. Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers of
America. Supporting him,
actively or quietly, were many
operators from the predominantly
unionized fields of Illinois and
the Central West.
Lewis branded as "entirely un-
satisfactory" the company union
clause in the Appalachian and
northern code. He also attacked
the 81 daily basic pay.

FIRST SNOW FALL IN
IS YEARS IN VALLEYS

Last Friday night, Jan. 2Oth,
snow fell in the Salt and Gila
river valleys, the first snow this
locality has seen since 1920.
About 10 o'clock Friday night
the rain turned to snow and the
telephone was kept busy calling
neighbors and friends to look
out and see a rare sight. In
the morning the ground was
covered with snowy blanket
an inch or two thick. The snow
melted fast and by 10 o'clock
it was all gone. The weather
was milder than usual Friday
night and the fall of snow did
no injury to growing crops or
vegetation but was a great ben
eft and put more water in the
ground than several hard rains
would have done.

INAUGURATION Date
CHANGED BY THE TWEN-
TIETH AMENDMENT

Thirty-six states ratified the
amendment to change the inau-
guration date to January in
stead of March, taking effect
next October.
This will do away with the
old time short session from
election in November to March.
The newly elected congress will
take office in January following
November election.
Senator George Norris, Ne
braska's independent warrior,
put the amendment through
congress last March after 10
year fight against the ultra
conservatives who wished to
preserve the antiquated ma
chinery. He hailed the victory
today as "a great step toward
placing the control of our gov
ernment in the hands of the
chosen representatives of the
American people,"
He was confident too that his
amendment would do away
with such spectacles as the SEN
ate filibuster of the last two
weeks, for filibusters, justified
or otherwise, thrive on lack of
time, and from now on con-
gress will have no set adjourn
ment day.
1t will meet every year on
January 3. The president will
take office every four years ON
January 20. The IL day differ
ence is to give congress time to
canvas and certify the election
results.

A MUCH NEEDED
IMPROVEMENT MADE

After each rain the east side
of Main street where it inter-
sects the Florence-Casa Grande
highway, has been the source of
great inconvience to both pedes-
trians and auto owners, owing
to the large puddle of water that
accumulates.
A drain was put in the first of
the week to carry off the surplus
water. That part of the street
is being filled and graded.
It's a great improvement and
may it work to perfection is the
wish of every citizen.
