GENERAL JOHNSON has mapped
~ out q new alignment of code au-
thorities in order to provide more
effective representation Of consum-
ers' interests. His plan is to place
on every code authority one NRA rep
resentatiye selected by the admins
traitor. This representative will be
assisted by two advisors" one drawn
from the ranks of labor, and nominat-
ed by the labor advisory board Of
MIRA, and the other to be nominated
by the consumers advisory board.
An important part of Johnson's an
nouncement was that he proposes to
give the MIRA representatives on each
code authority veto power over any
Of the actions the authority may elect
to take.
In other words, In the ."self gov
eminent" Of each industry, which the
general has often discussed as his
aim, a code authority may decide to
take some step, with respect to prices,
or production. or wages. II 1t suits
the MIRA representative, 1t will be
put into effect; otherwise he can veto
the action.
The administrator also announced
the appointment Of Leon Henderson
Of the Russell Sage foundation, New
York. andFS. ]. Schfink, director
Of the Consumers Research bureau, as
special assistants in the consumers
division Of the NRA. He empha-
sized that Mrs. Mary Rumsey, society
woman who heads the consumers ad-
Visory board, would retain her pres
ent post.

That bookkeeping
error of 100000 was purposely
made to deceive the Indiana public
service commission and justify high
rates for service.
Ihat huge expense accounts for GER
tain officials, covering trips to CALI
fornia and Atlantic City and the send
ing Of vast quantities of flowers to
hotels, were an unjustifed charge
against Northern Indiana Public
Service.
That properties, in many instances
worthless, and without exception worth
far less than the value charged, were
transferred to the treasury Of Northern
Indiana through a system of inter-
locking direetorates. This was done,
the report declared. to milk Northern
Indiana Public Service of surplus
earnings"
That the funds and assets of the
operating company are still being
constantly depleted by the domina-
ton of Midland Utilities and other
parent organizations of the insult
group"
The investigation was given Its start
when Howard W. Duncan, former as
sistant treasurer of Northern Indiana,
confessed he had embezzled s132, 900 Of
the company's money and lost 1t on
the race horses. Duncan pleaded
guilty to the theft of $500. He of
fered to tell the inside story of the
insult high finance and was allowed
to do so. The Investigators then fol-
lowed out the lines he laid down for
them to follow.

ful candidates we're, hand-picked and
so were those who were defeated. all
being company men," Members of
the workers. union, the Amalgamated
Association Of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers, did not appear on the bal
lots. Union representatives charged
that workers were threatened with
loss of their Jobs If they didn't vote,
and said many of the men deliber-
ately spoiled their ballots.
There We're ugly threats that II the

promised to see this case through.
Well. If they don't then wen be
forced to. take things into our own
hands. Because we're going to win
this fight"
Thomas Z. MIllsop, assistant to
President Williams, said the only way
the government would be allowed to
enter the matter was on the strength
Of a court order. "a
I'VE are for the NRA," he said.
"but there are some parts Of the re-
covery law which frankly we do not
Ike. It's no secret thatweirton Steel
is opposed to closed shop, which Is
what the labor provisions Of the act
mean. Nor is 1t any secret that we do
not intend to recognize the Amalga-
mated"
He still insisted that the company
union" was not company union at
all but an association of employees
representatives chosen by free and
untrammeled ballot by the workers.
Gen. Hugh s. Johnson, NRA admin
istrator, refused to comment on pub
lished reports that President William
Green Of the American Federation Of
Labor will demand a clear cut state
ment from the recovery administers
ton and the national labor board out
having company financed unions.
Green said that on September 20
he had filed many affidavits with the
recovery authorities charging that
corporations in every section Of the
country were violating the NRA labor
provision by company union actiyi-
tea. He charged no action had been
taken against these corporations.
