PRIVILEGE FOR

Against NRA Policy to
Work Hardships Upon
Business
STEEL TRADE WOULD
GIVE UP OWN UNIONS

WASHINGTON, July 81. (UP)
The steel industry is willing to
delete from it's code the provision
designed to maintain company
sponsored unions. Robert p. La
mont, president of the Iron and
Steel Institute said at the code
hearing today.
Powerful administration forces
were aligned with organized labor
today in its fight for the right to
unionize 100000 steel workers as
the code for that giant of Ameri-
can industries came up for public
hearing.
Dispute centered over a provis-
ion of the proposed code by which
the steel industry sought to main
tain it's system of company-spon-
sored unions.
Organized labor, which in bat
tie over many years has been able
to gain only bare toe-hold in the
steel mills, claimed company I'm
ions did not give fair voice to
workers.

WASHINGTON, July 81. (UP).
General Hugh S. Johnson, ma
tional recovery administrator,
agreed last night to the first
modification in President Roose-
velt's voluntary blanket code in
approving a temporary code for
the retail trade affecting 5,O00.-
600 "white collar" workers.
Johnson acquiesced to the in
sistent demands that small retail
stores be permitted to employ
workers up to 48 hours per week,
instead of limiting hours to 40
as the voluntary unemployment
agreement provides.
Representatives of the retail
trade, who were closeted for
several hours with Johnson Sum
day, agreed to the minimum
wage scales for the "white col
lar" class which range from $l2
to SIS per week, according to
population of towns and cities.
The concession on hours, which
will permit a graduation up to
48 for smaller establishments in
small towns, was the first
"break" in the voluntary code.
This modification may open
the way for others.
The temporary retail code. to
be effective until the trade sub
mits its permanent code was
formulated under section IL Of
the blanket code which permits
an industry to substitute pro-
visions Of is permanent code for
the blanket code upon approval
of the NRA.
This is the first such case. A.
number of other industries, in.
Guiding lumber, are seeking 3
similar "stop-gap" code. 1t would
constitute a sort of cross be-
tween the regulation blanket
code and the permanent code and
may be adjusted to different
cases.
johnson will insist that this
code covering the retail trade
dry goods, grocery stores, cloth
icrs, drugstores and the like
does not establish a precedent.
He will take the position that it
fits in with the Administrations
announced intention to avert
hardships.

Needle Union Calls
Meet for Thursday
in Lincoln Arena
Union Members Will
Rally to Repulse
Boss Attacks

NEW YORK. -Tl1ouSands of needle
trades workers are expected to pack
Lincoln Arena, SO w. Goth St., in a
huge protest meeting Thursday night,
Nov. 16, to voice their opposition
against the latest attempts of the
bosses and A. F. of L. bureaucrats,
Socialist leaders and state and fed
eral governments, to smash their
fighting Industrial Union.
Directly after work the furriers,
cloak and dressnakers, knitgoods and
other needle trades workers, will go
to the mass meeting, where they will
hear reports of the vicious frame-up
indictments being pressed against %
Of their leaders and rank and file
active workers, and the injunction
proceedings now being heard in the
Supreme Court. They will also plan
action to break these attempts of the
bosses to smash their union and force
them back into the old bad condi-
tons.
Gangsters sent by the bosses have
murdered three needle trades work
ers, wounded many more and beaten
scores of them. The determined fight
of the Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union against gangsters and
racketeers in the needle trades forced
the calling of a Federal Grand Jury
investigation, which confirmed the
workers charges, but instead Of in
dieting the racketeers and their gang
sters, also indicted the Industrial
Union and its leaders and active rank
and file workers.
Not only the N.TwI.U. workers
are urged to attend the meeting at
Lincoln Arena, but all members of
opposition groups in the A. F. Of L.
needle trades who are determined to
resist and defeat the latest attacks
of the bosses against the industrial
union.
