Fiorello H. LaGuardia, fusion

he asserted, to substantiate his
charge that entry of Joseph v.

desire of Postmaster General

personal political machine to
make himself governor of New

said:

R|CHBERG
Recovery Aides Ruling on
"Check-Off" CompIicates
Code Situation
BY international News Service

Action Of one of Recovery
Administrator Hugh S. John,
sons chief aides probably will
delay complete settlement of
the "captive" mine strike until
The national bituminous coal
labor board begins functioning,
it was learned today at NRA
headquarters.
Donald r. Richberg, chief coun-
sci Of the NRA, was the aide who
complicated the problem.
"Amazed" at Action
johnson said he was amazed
to learn in New York that Rich
berg, during negotiations with
steel company operators of the
"captive" mines, had ruled that
the steel people would not be
committing themselves to the
"check-off" If they signed the
agreement to abide by all the
working conditions set up in the
coal code.
The steel company officers then
signed the agreement and it was
approved last Friday at Hyde
Park by President Roosevelt.
Although Richberg is believed
to have made the ruling while
pointing out that the code does
not specifically require mine oper-
ators to submit to the "check-off'
system in every instance, the
steel companies promptly took
refuge behind the ruling to deny
even technical recognition to their
employees, who are mostly mem
berS of the United Mine Workers
Of America.
Recognizes Union
Under the "check-off'' system
the mine operators would have tc
deduct 81 per month from the
pay envelopes of union workers
and pay the total over to the loca
union.
AS this would involve book
keeping mentioning the Unitec
Mine Workers, the union coulc
state truthfully that it had forced
recognition" from the operators
AS the operators really are stee
companies, such a technical rec
ognition at the captive" mines
would pave the way for unioniza-
ton of the entire steel industry.
Under the collective bargaining
conditions of the coal code, miners
are guaranteed the right to impose
reasonable terms upon employers
by majority voting and through
chosen representatives.
A demand for the "check-off'
system might reasonably be made
and often is, but because Richbere
made that one ruling in the pre-
agreement negotiations with the
steel company officials, the Recov
