Johnson Supports Idea But OBJ

committee STUDIES IDEA
Board Of Appeals Would Be Su-

Washington. Nov. 2.-(R)-Business
sought Thursday to forestall obiec.
lions which labor might have to a
new plan for following the temporary
NRA with a permanent set-up under
which industry would govern its own
affairs through single unit and with
minimum Of federal supervision.
The idea behind the plan had the
support Of Hugh johnson, recovery
administrator.
But the proposal. advanced by
Gerard Swope In a meeting with some
OF the nations leading industrialists
and then referred to a committee for
study, made no reference to labor rep
resentation in the unit which would
govern all business and industry
through codes.
Labor. under the MIRA. has obtained
representation on many boards and
councils and even an indirect voice
IN the boards administering present
codes. The recent American Fedora
ton Of Labor convention voted to
seek greater representation.
Swope,s proposal. briefly, would
merge Into an enlarged national
Chamber Of Commerce all the trade
associations for industries now oper-
ating under codes. A board Of appeals
would act as supreme arbiter. The
government would be represented on
this board through presidential ap-
pointees: labor not at all. unless one
Of the presidential appointees. whom
Johnson said would have absolute veto
power, were worker representative.
Forsees Objections
Foreseeing that there might be labor
objections. Swope said in state
ment:
There Is nothing in my proposal
intended to supplant MIRA or to set
up any industrial self discipline with
out governmental participation or to
omit the organization Of labor par
allel with the organization Of in
dustry.'
Despite big gains since MIRA. labor
leaders say they are having difficulty
organizing as lapidly as industry.

Dickinson,N. D., Nov. 2.-lP-Ac.
companied by United States Senator
Lynn j. Frazier In speaking tour
Of the western part Of the state, A
G. Townley, former Nonpartisan Lea
que leader, told an audience Of ap-
proximately 1000 persons here Wed
nesday night he seeks Ito renew the
original Nonpartisan League pro-
gram.
Governor William LANCER, who now
Is In Washington. had been sciled-
uled to participate In the speaking
programs. Townley and Frazier spoke
Wednesday In Center, Hazen and
Halliday before coming to Dickinson
In the evening.
The former League organizer was
heartily applauded as he spoke on
the platform where Is years ago his
proposals brought him a shower OF
eggs.
He painted picture Of North
Dakota thriving with hundreds OF
small factories where farmers and
workers might exchange their prod
ucts and services without depend
ence upon Wall Street pirates -
Townley claimed the support Of the
state administration in his program.
He began his campaign In behalf
Of the plan three months ago.
THE plan," he said. will be &C
complished within year If you fol-
low the men you have elected. After
three months Of consideration they
have thrown their hats into the
ring"
Asks for Signatures
Townley asked for signatures for
the resolution Of North Dakota pro-
ducers' industrial demands" calling
on the state and federal government
to supply the unemployed of the
state with necessary raw materials
and machinery SO that under proper
state supervision they can work in
mines, mills, shops and factories to
provide for themselves fuel, clothing.
foods and other necessities needed to
sustain life."
As soon as adequate public support
has been secured for the plan Town.
ley said the state administration
would present the demands at Wash
ington. The money necessary to es-
tablish the state-owned industries, he
said, would come entirely from the
federal government.
II believe we can get the money"
he declared, because we are getting
1t now and will get several millions
In relief funds before the winter Is
over" To this he added there had
been a reversal of policy at WASH
ington which promises to see the
recognition of Soviet Russia in the
near future and subsequently loaning
of money to the U. s. S. r.
If this country loans money to
Russia" he said. why can't 1t loan
some to the Bolsheviks Of North Da-
kota. All we have to do is renew our
reputation"
Governor Langer's regret at being
unable to appear on the program was
voiced at the meeting by State Sena-
tor D. H. Hamilton.
Senator Frazier endorsed the
Townley plan. declaring IT believe
that the program outlined by Mr..
Townley will help us to end the de-
preston in North Dakota"
He criticised the federal admins

AMERICA INCREASES
GOLD PRICE OFFER
Dollar Weakens as Government
Makes Ready to Buy Metal
in World Market

Washington. Nov. 2.-fR)-The
Roosevelt administration Thursday
dangled before the world an offer to
buy all foreign mined gold.
For the latter a price Of 1926 an
ounce was established compared with
$32.26 Wednesday.
Meanwhile. the bullion quotation at
London. presumably In response to
the Roosevelt plans, rose from $3l SO
Wednesday to 1921 Thursday.
The dollar was weak, declining over
night to 1892 to the pound. It also
weakened against the franc.
Details Of plans for purchasing the
imported gold, including the price to
be paid. remained undisclosed. as did
the status Ut negotiations with Great
Britain.
These were undertaken for the pur-
pose Of avoiding a currency deprecia-
ton race between the two countries
as result Of the American opera
lions.
Would Jack Up Prices
The theory behind Roosevelt's pro-
gram Is that IL gold prices can be
raised and held at a high level. both
here and abroad. there will be an
automatic adjustment which viii
carry domestic commodity prices up
ward.
Higher prices is the first objective
OF the presidents recovery program.
Making the first step In the buy
ing Of foreign gold, Chairman Jesse
H. Jones Of the RFC Wednesday night
announced that the New York Fed.
eral Reserve bank would pay for Inn
ported gold in EFC notes. with which
the newly mined domestic metal also
Is bought.
BY this plan, It appeared. the gov.
eminent has avoided direct dealings
IN foreign gold and exchange markets.
leaving them to individuals and firms
choosing to ship gold here.
The effect of this upon world gold
prices and the exchange value Of the
dollar and the pound, economists said,
would be virtually the same Is though
the government were making the pur-
chases direct.
American firms importing the gold.
It was explained. would have to buy
pounds or francs to pay for It abroad.
thereby deprecfating the dollar In re-
lation to the Britiah and French mon
etary units.
Europeans who choose TO send the
gold here will be paid IN the RNC
notes. readily convertible into dollars.
and then would have to convert the
dollars into the currency Of their own
country.

QUOTA SYSTEM IS URGED

Washington, Nov. 2. - @ - Five
fniddle-western governors, reporting
their farmers lin a striking mood,
disconnected and impatient" Thurs
day put their initiation, price fixing,
licensing plan before President Roose-
velt..
j! This picture Of agrarian reactions
was drawn by Governors Herring Of
Iowa, Berry Of South Dakota and
LANCER of North Dakota as they
awaited Governors Olson Of Mime
sofa and schmedeman Of Wisconsin
before going to the white house.
All agreed that the present admin
istration program has merit" but
that 1t was working too slowly. Fresh
from a governors conference at Des
Moines, they sought immediate price,
fixing for the principal commodities
produced In their states, an MIRA
code for farmers under which farm
ers. professors and distributors would
be licensed, and direct imitation.
What Is needed Is help right now
when the farmer has something to
SELL" they said.
Should Start with Parity
1T can be done without difficulty"
Herring said of price fixing. 1.-THE
price should be parity at the start,
or enough to give farmers the sum
in dollars for their products suffi-
cient to provide them with the pur-
chasing power they had In the years
1909 to 1914. But that should only be
the goal for temporary period-the
real goal must be prices so fixed as to
give producers their costs of produc-
ton plus reasonable profit"
Berry said South Dakotas crops
are the poorest In years while prices
are at level where 1t wouldn't be
worth while for great many farm
ers to market the stuff II they had
It,
LANCER called his recent order plac-
ing an embargo on wheat, shipments
from his state "a big success" He
said he has instructed sheriffs to
notify elevators not to accept wheat
for shipment out Of the state, that
elevators who disobey will find their
state licenses to operate revoked"
The result OF this order, he said, sis
one hundred per cent cooperation, II
you know what [ mean."
Asked II fixed prices would bring
an immediate marketward rush Of
farm commodities, Herring, Berry and, !
LANCER all said that "thc answer is
to license the farmer so that each
gets his fair share In the volume
needed for domestic consumption.
They said system Of quotas could
be worked out 50 that all farmers
would get the benefit Of the higher
prices for an equal percentage Of
what they have to sell.
