NRA IS WORKING ON
PLAN TO SUPERVISE
INDUSTRIAL CODES
Labor and Consumer Would
Have Place on Bodies to
Observe Operations

Washington, Dec. 8.-tR-The MIRA,
instead OF agreeing to appoint labor
members to authorities administering
codes. is working on q plan for the
creation of governmental boards in
Guiding labor and consumer repre-
sentatives to observe industrial opera
ton.
It was definitely understood Friday
that the organized labor demand for q
place with industrialists on the com.
mittees which actually govern coded
industries has been turned down. The
most vigorous pressure from business
convinced officials that to grant it
would wreck the present relationship
built up in MIRA. 1ndustrialistS who
made the representations to Hugh s.
johnson came away satisfied.
This led to the new formula, still In
an indefinite stage, by which labor,
clamoring for Z partnership" with
business under the industrial law,
would be granted front seat among
reviewing authorities and would have
men In strategic position to object to
actions deemed inimical to the work
ers' interests.
Addition OF a consumer represen-
tative, this plans authors say would
bring customer participation to the
same privileged status as labor and
lessen the objection Of industrialists.
who oppose labor organization. to the
commanding position which would be
given the worker side.
| Labor chiefs have yet to be heard
from on the new plan but they have
been preserving the most complete
silence since 1t was preached to them
and the rundown Of their first pre-
posal was made. While not indicat-
ing consent. the silence has been In
terpreted by observers as . friendly
one.

alive George N. Peek. farm admins
traitor, because officials expected his
resignation soon.
At the same time. It was equally
evident that President Roosevelt
wished earnestly to retain the head
IT the agricultural adjustment adj
ministration in some other high fed
eral position.
Secretary Wallace, under whom
Peek has been working. offered new
post to his aide. At least one other
position elsewhere, not Immediately
specified, was said to have been pro-
:,osed.
At any rate, officials held unlikely
a compromise between Peek and lib
erals in the agricultural department.
Tension which had existed for months
and finally broke out openly, showing
that the secretary often accepted the
advice Of others rather than that Of
Peek, was believed by these officials
to have made untenable Peeks pres
ent position.
In many Of these cases, Peek IA
9ored compromise with business
whereas the liberals urged compulsion
|here they thought 1t necessary.
The suggestion was made that Peek
might follow to the NRA the codes
other than those involving processing
which were transferred from the AAA
to Hugh s. Johnson's agency, but Peel
said he had heard nothing of thai
'rumor" and that he did not wish t.
discuss his resignation.
It was known though. that one Of
Peek's basic objections to his AAA
Job was that his decisions there were
subjAct to approval or veto by Secre-
tary Wallace; that transfer to the
NRA would simply move the veto
Dower to Johnson; that Peek still
thought the AAA should be independ-
ent, operating directly under the
president.
