fled a provision of the origi-
nal code declaring their inten-
ton to continue an open-shop
labor policy, was submitted to
the NRA by the National
Automobile Chamber of Com
merce today.

uled for tomorrow. The code re-
tains the hours Of work and wage
provisions of the original code.
New Provision Inserted

sion follows: X
"Under the foregoing prOvi.
siOnS, the employers in the In
duStry may continue the open.
shop policy under which the Sc
lection, retention, and advance :,
ment of employees will be on the
basis of individual merit with
out regard to their affiliations
or nOnaffiliatiOns with any labor
or other organizations"
William Green, president Of the
A. F. Of L., had objected Strenu'
ously to the original provision.
Ford Not Included
The code was still without the
sanction of Henry Ford, who is
not a member of the National
Automobile Chamber of Com
merce.
Other changes include:
In the definition of motor ve-
hicles, which originally included
passenger cars, trucks, buses
and other commercial vehicles,
truck tractors. taxicabs. hearses
and ambulances are added and
the code excludes motorcycles,
fire apparatus and tractors other
than truck tractors.
The code provides for minimum
wages for factory employees rang
ing from 40 to 43 cents an hour
and an average 35-hour week un.
til the expiration date of the
code.
McGrady Criticizes Clause
Deputy Administrator for
Labor Edward F. McGrady as
sailed the revised provision in
the automobile code, declaring
that the industry may" continue
it's open shop policy. He said:
"That is a violation Of the
law. The law is plain and ex-
plicit and does not require any
interpretation"
McGrady explained that labor
is satisfied with the provision Of
the law which guarantees to
workers the right to collective
bargaining through whatever
means they choose, whether COM
pany unions or federated unions.

CHICAGO, Aug. 17-Sam Gray,
thirty-four-year-old ri g h tn a n d
pitcher, of the st. Louis Browns
and previously of the Philadelphia
Athletics. was the property of
the Washington ball club for half
an hour today-but only for half
hour.
President Clark Griffith, accom-
panying the Washington team on
it's present stay in Chicago closed
negotiations for the purchase Of
Gray shortly after noon today,
according to advices from the
Windy City.
Then he smilingly went among
his ball players to announce the
latest acquisition in the way Of a
pitcher, and everybody started
holding their tongues in their
cheeks and otherwise looking
daggers at Griff.
Griff, sensing something was
wrong, began to inquire the
cause for the queer demeanor,
when a frinedly hand took him
aside and said:
$50, you're the Old Fox,
are you? You're the guy given
credit for having all of the
brains in this league, eh?
"Well, do you know how
smart you really are? You're
just so smart that every man
on this ball club except you
knows Sam Gray has got a
sore arm"
Wherewith, Griff called the ST.
Louis president, Philip deCatsby
Ball, on the telephone and can
celed the purchase of GRAY.

Senator King declared he
wanted to learn all the details

increase Of prices to the con.
sumer and a decrease to the
farmer producing the milk.

Western Maryland Fairfield Dairy
of Baltimore to the National

stock in the dairies taken over
and denied that there was monop-
oliStic control.
The books of the company, they
said, are open to the committee,
to the Federal Trade Commission
or the Department of Justice.

Walker and John Magill, jr., presi.
dent and secretary-treasurer, re-
spectively of the association, and
I. w. Heaps, manager of the East
ern States Marketing Association.
Later, during the questioning
of Heaps, Senator McCarran said
he would have to hear a lot
of other testimony to change my
mind that you (Heaps) are not

The change in the star was
first noted by Leslie C. Peltier, a
young Ohio mechanic and anna

servatorieS of his discovery and
last night the Harvard Observa-

Despite the increase in magni-

CONSUMERS
PROTECTION
URGED
Proposal Will Be Taken Up
/. Tomorrow at Birthday
I Party of Federation
By DUNCAN. FORSYTH


7 Federal employees, much con-
cerned by the prospect Of in
creasing prices and tagging
salaries, are considering a
plan of cooperation with the
consumers advisory board of
the NRA, with the hope that
it may point the way to con-
sumer organization generally
and thereby aid the board in
protecting the public from
profiteering.
The proposal will be taken up,
it is understood, at the birthday
party of the American Federation
of Government Employees, wlzfCsT
will be held at the American Fed
Grafton of Labor Building tomor-
row night. The meeting is spon-
sored by the National Campaign
COMMITTEE, and will deal with Or
ganization matters in preparation
for the convention of the fedora
ton next month.
Purchasing Power Vital
Officials of the federation con,
tend that maintenance of purchas-
ing power is the vital problem to
be surmounted in the NRA drive.
The statement Of Mrs. Roose"
yesterday that she COL. con.
sumer protection about the most
important feature of NRA activ-
tiles, at the moment, is indorsed
by them.
The consumers advisory board
Is reluctant at this time to an
nounce it's plans for consumer pro-
lection, which became an issue as
a result of the Ogburn-Rumsev
affair. However, it has been init
mated in respon3ible quarters that
the facilities of the Federal Trade
Commission will be utilized for
this purpose.
Cognizant of this situation, the
officers of the A. F. G. E. feel
that their organization may be of
National service.
Cannot Have Code
They point out that the A. F..
G.. E., though primarily a labor
organization affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor,
cannot obtain a code for its
members. like other labor organi.
zation, except through action of
Congress, Action in the labor
field is practically barred.
The members, however, as con,
sumers, are vitally interested in
the success of NRA, it is pointed
out, and have an effective organi-
Zation. If organization of the
consumer field will aid in con.
sumner protection, they say, their
group might form an acceptable
nucleus for such organization,
and they would favor complete
cooperation with the consumers
advisory board.
Committees to Meet
Mr.. Littlepage said a meeting
of the educational and publicity
committees would be held this
afternoon at the headquarters to
discuss progress so far and to
outline future plans. One Of the
topics under consideration. he
said, would be the possibility OF
including the Metropolitan area,
in nearby Maryland, in the local
campaign.
Mr.. Littlepage said he hoped
to receive a report from the cam
paign heads tomorrow of the
number of persons contacted by
the workers. A meeting of the
majors of the Army will be
held at 10 a. m. tomorrow to
discuss means of canvasSing ho-
tells. Mrs. Harry K. Daugherty
is in charge of this division.
Col. G. L. TAFT. in charge of
Benjamin Franklin poStoffice sta
ton, said that about 100 persons
had signed the agreement at l p
M, bringing the total to 1857.

 Spot on Chilly Days

Moistureproof wrapping of this sort causes foods to retain their mois- ture much longer in mechanical refrigerators, this applying to fresh vegetables, fruits and meats as well as to the Ieft-overs. Odors, too, from cheese and onions and other aromatic foods can be sealed in with these wrappers which, after wiping with damp cloth. may be used again and again.

It fs simply the outward sign that the body lacks "pep," due to a depleted supply of energy and lack of stored-up vitamines and minerals, which often follows the inactive winter months.
