 Washington, Aug. 31-(UP)- MIRA officials dopted g. hands off attitude today regarding the ban ming of Ford employees from the Detroit recovery parade.
 They said they had no informa- ton about the bank and that no instructions for such procedure had been issued here.
 The automobile code, to which Henry Ford has given no indica- ton yet of support, becomes ef- fective Sept 5. Ford has until that time therefore, to come forward with an agreement of compliance.
 Ford, on the other hand, could sign a presidential reemployment agreement which would bind him to observe at least the "blue eagle" standards of minimum wages and maximum hours.
 After Sept s, however, Ford would be expected to operate un- der terms of the code approved for the automobile industry. IL would not be necessary for him to sign the code, but, since his case has drawn so much attention, some gesture of compliance would be expected.
 The national recovery act has specific provisions for bringing whole industries under codes of fair competition with penalties for violations and noncompliance.
 After the president shall have approved any such code Gas in the case of automobiles) the provis. ions of such code shall be the stan. dards of fair competition for such trade or industry of subdivisions thereof" the recovery act states.
 The president has power to II. cense an industry if it Is desired to bring all sections of it under g code.
 This would enable him to license parts of an industry complying witf | the code and withhold licenses from portions of the industry not com. plying with code.
 Any person who, without such a license or in violation of any condition thereof" the law states "carries on any such business, foi which a license is go returned, shall upon conviction thereof. be fined not more than $500 or imprisoned not more than six months or both and each day such violation con. tinues shall be deemed a separate i offense." a
 It was not believed the Ford case ] would go to the extreme, of lcens- ing. M
 It was anticipated that the issue resolve finally and a point of tech- nicality whereby Ford. and in- dividualistic industrialists. might be complying with all terms of the code or even improving upon them, without actually signing any docu- ment. Such a situation would de- velop into a conflict of interpreta- tion rather than lead to any puni- tive measures.

they were not members in good standing in that union.
 One of those with whom Roose- welt conferred was Chairman Frank A. Goodwin of the Boston Finance commission, who has acted as counsel for the Brotherhood of Shoe and Allied Craftsmen.
 Under the plan agreed upon to- day, the MIRA would Eame an in- vestigator who would make fact finding survey immediately.
 He would submit his findings to a committee on industrial relations headed by Sen Robert F. Wagner of New York and having in its membership three labor represen- tatives and also employers repre- sentation. This committee would take whatever action is deemed ad- visable after studying the investig- ator's report.
 Young Roosevelt, Boston in- surance broker. entered the contro- versy in the role of peacemaker after a talk here yesterday with Assistant Secretary of Labor Edwin F. McGrady, who accompanied General Hugh s. Johnson to Bos- ton for the latter's MIRA luncheon address.
 "The proposed investigation" Roosevelt told the United Press, twill be made with all possible speed, for we want to settle this thing without delay. Meantime the MIRA will urge that all operatives whose union status is questioned be permitted to resume work"

GIRLS RESCUED
 AFTER DRIFTING
 ALL NIGHT LONG

Hull, Mas, Aug. 31-(UP)-Five greater Boston girls were rescued from possible death early today off Nantasket beach by suspected rum-runner after tossing about in a frail boat all night.
 The girls, all avacationists, were Florence T. Breslin of Charles town, Ellen Goodwin and Mary Lyons of West Roxbury, Rita Flynn of Someryille and Helen Chmielinski of Brookline.
 Late yesterday they put out from the beach in an outboard mo- tor boat and were several miles out when the engine stalled. At tempts to start it were unsuccess- full and the craft drifted seaward, borne by an ebbing tide.
 Enveloped by darkness and hud- dled together in the bottom of the boat for hours, the terror-stricken girls early today heard the roar of powerful motors and in a few min- utes a big, black speedboat pulled alongside and, after learning their plight, the sole occupant made a line fast to the smaller boat and lowed her ashore. The lone-sailor made his way in the darkness without revealing his identity.

i the United States, banks have an effective instrument for local group action in working out agreements for fair competition. By private and forum discussion, plans and projects first can be submitted. to thorough analysis, and their moot points ironed out before they be- come binding on participating members, while regulation that comes from the free will and &C., quiescenee of members bound by a mutulaized form of extra-legal regulations is more effective than any law or legal penalty. The benefits of competition are re- tained, while the abuses and un- fair practices, which unbridled ri- valry and, if unchecked, lead to difficulty. are obviated by the rule of reason under clearinghouse su- pervision."
 The clearinghouse idea, origin ally developed for big city banks, has spread until 1t embraces today not only centrs with population in excess of 25,Q00 but also 155 small Ter cities and scores of counties or other regional units, he says largely as a result of the efforts of the bank management commits sion of the American Bankers As. sociation. which has stressed the benefits to be derived from volun- tary cooperation and the dangers of going it alone without regard to profits or the future." MT. Law adds:
 with the clearinghouse as the focal point locally, with group and state organization machinery in existence in every part of the coun- try and with a national body rich in experience going back 5S years, banking possesses modern, efficient machinery for action along con- structive' lines of mutual helpful ness, fully equal to any require ments which may be- put upon 1t as the, result of President Roose- velt's recovery plan."
 MT. Law describes the exhaus- tive technological studies made by the association in respect to cost accopnting :, for banks, service charges to eliminate operating losses, loan and investment poli- cies, interest rates, trust services and the formulation of practices to enable banks to. cooperate fair ly in building up stronger banking conditions with better service to the public.

NRA Sent Sales of Boston Department Stores Up IS Percent Over Record fO Last Year

Boston, Aug. 31-(UP)-The MIRA sent sales of Boston depart ment stores fin the first three weeks of August up Is per cent above last year, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. reported today in the weekly re- view of New England trade condi- tions.
 The increased volume, it was reported, has come to a consider able extent from customers who are buying in anticipation of an in- crease in retail prices.
 The necessity for making ad- justments to codes and some un- certainty as to its effect on indus try have caused somewhat slower business in several lines, it was re- ported, but textile mills are oper- ating at full capacity through a season which normally is dull. This is due. 1t was reported, to large volume of orders on hand,
 "The Boston wool market has experienced an active week." the review said, ''sales running upwards of S,O00,000 pounds. The larger mills and makers have come into the market for considerable quan- titles of all grades of wool Prices are firm and the market is dis playing an upward tendency.
 Although the buying of cotton goods during the past few weeks has been greatly curtailed, most Massachusetts mills continue quite active, July spindle hours having increased about GA per cent over July, 1922. Cotton spinners have received only small orders for fill in purposes. but are generally quite busy on old orders. Prices remain unchanged.
 "The hide and leather market has been slow, as dealers are pro- ceeding cautiously, in view of the uncertainty of prices. With labor difficulties ended, the shoe manu- lecturers are settling down to a more active business. Prices oi leather an dhides are maintained firmly on the present high basis.
 Lumber dealers are awaiting the placing of a. government order of t8,000,000 feet. In the meantime the Spruce mhls of New England report capacity operations. Lumbe! at retail, however, is rather slow, Heavy building materials show little price change and are moving slowly. A moderate business in paints is reported, with increased prices in sight"

New York, Aug 31-The banks of the United States will cooper ate to the fullest extent with the federal government in its efforts to reduce unemployment. and re- store normal business activity, F.. M. Law, first yice-president of the American Bankers association, de- clares in a. statement in the cur- rent issue of the American Bank CTS Association Journal, entitled "A Basis for Banking by Code"
 Mir Law says that cooperation among banks themselves is the first step, and he points out that for several years his organization has aided bankers to establish re- gional clearing houses. to stand radize banking practices and cre- ate a solid basis of fair competi- tion, before which injurious conn petitive practices were reducing bank revenues to the vanishing point"
 Banks must compete. yet it is surely a development of extra ordinary importance to the nation that banking competition is being confined more and more to such things as service and soundness of policies, rather than high interest rates, free services and concessions to important customers" Mir Law says.
 "In view of the fact that 1t has become the announced policy of the federal government to prevent wastefuI rivalry between various elements of an industry, 1t Is sig nificant to look back over the things which bankers have done in the past few years to build a solid basis for fair competition.

The Waterville Oilers, a team which refuses to count itself out, fought back from a discouraging first-inning start, to defeat the North End Thomas club in a re- play contest of their tie game of few weeks ago, at Hamilton park last night. Their 5-2 victory es- tablishes them in a first place tie with the Brooklyn A. c. as the regular season of the City Amateur league ends. Each team has won ten and lost five games.

This game should at- tract banner crowd and the To- calls will be out to win the league crown which carries with it the right to represent Waterville at the National Amateur Baseball tournament at Pittsburgh next month.
 Blinn was Manager Gagain's first choice for mound duty yester- day but the usually dependable To- cal boy was off form and failed to last the first inning. Four hits, one of them a double, and two passes netted the Tommies two big runs before he retired in favor of Speed" Conway, who assumed the burden with the bases full and two outs. He forced the first batetr who faced him to roll an easy grounder to the box for the final out.
 Sparkling defensive play by the Tommies during the next inning turned back the Oilers but they finally got started in the third to score three runs on three hits to take the lead from which they were never headed. Two more runs were added, one in the sev- enth and another in the eighth. Waterville gathered seven hits off Guerrera's delivery. three of them by Mcdonnell. The Tommies after the first inning made six safeties off Conway's pitching.
