Administrator; Hollo-

Urges Blue Eagle Con-
formity
By NOAH HOLLOWELL
Chairman of the Local NRA
Executive Committee

If any Henderson county read"
er of this article who has been
flying the blue eagle has any
doubts about his authority for SO
doing, he should set his house in
order Immediately.
The local Compliance Board,
elected about a week ago. has re-
ceived working instructions from
General Hugh s. Johnson, admin.
istrator of the National Re-em"
plOyment Act.
Fifteen typewriter pages Of in
stluctions have been placed in the
hands of this board. It's main duty
will be to receive complaints of
noncompliance by NRA members
and to use its influence to the end
that there may be no refusal or
failure to observe the NRA regu-
lationS.
The members of the board, rep
resentative of the different phases
of industry, business and employ
ment, have been selected because
of their connections and represent
tations and each member will
cheerfully give any employer all
the information he possibly can.
If an employer willfully persists
in noncompliance with the agree
ment after being fully informed
of his obligations he is no longer
entitled to the Blue Eagle and the
federal government will take it
away.
That will be a sad day for any
business man in this community.
Complaints of any kind as to
noncompliance should be made to
the following members of the
board. which will organize at once
and inform compliments as to
the manner of filing complaints:

CUBAN UNREST
IS STILL FELT
"United States Imperial

By LAWRENCE HAAS
United Press Staff Correspondent

HAVANA, Sept. 27.-UP)-
Thousands of communists and la
Dor union radicals flocked to the
water front yesterday in a howl
ing demonstration against UNIT
ed States imperialism" .
They carried hundreds of red
flags and banners bearing the
slogan: down with Imperialismr'
and demanding the abrogation of
the Platt amendent to the Cuban
constitution, permitting the Unit
ed States legally to intervene in
the islands affairs in the event
of prolonged disturbances.
The demonstration was held or
the occasion of the return to Cuba
of the ashes of the late Julio Mel
la. a Cuban student slain in Mex
leo and whom the radicals here
have martyrized. Aside from the
banners, shouts and general ex-
uberance Of the throng, the dem
onstration was orderly.
A delegation from Mexico's
radicals conveyed the students
ashes in two small candy tins.
Mexican communists conveyed
the tins to the custody of COM
mittee of Cuban communists as
the throng stood for a moment
in silence.
There were anti-American
shouts during the speeches de-
nouncing "imperialism."
Speakers bitterly accused the
revolutionary government of
President Ramon Grau San Mar
tin Of vacillation at the workers
expense.
They attacked United States
imperialism" as responsible for
the misery of the proletariat in
Cuba and appealed to the work
ers and peasants to unite and
overthrow Grau, establishing a
communist state in Cuba.
Mention Of Soviet Russia was
cheered to the echo.
The meeting broke up and be-
gan a procession taking the ashes
to the headquarters in Havana of
the Anti-Imperialist league, where
they will lie in state for "a hours.
They will then be removed to the
Cuban communist headquarters.

CODES BINDING
ON ALL MADE
FORMAL RULE.
Establishments Not Sign
ing Definitely Under
Code, Despite This

WASHINGTON. Sept. 81 (UP)
The NRA laid down as a, formal
ruling yesterday its long accepted
informal policy that permanent
industrial codes become binding
upon every employer in an indus
try on the codes effective date.
An employer who fails to obey
the codes provisions is as liable
to action under the Recovery Act
if he has not signed the code as
if he has done so, under yester-
days ruling. The mere failure to
sign is not in itself violation, if
the employer lives up to all code
provisions. He can only obtain
his blue eagle by signing up, how
ever.
The ruling makes official and
formal the viewpoint, which has
been exercised toward Henry
Ford who has not signed the au-
tomobile code. Ford's operations
will meet. no interference if he
lives up to the code, but if he
fails to do so he will be subject
to possible prosecution under the
Recovery Act.
With Administrator Hugh S.
johnson in a hospital recovering
from a minor operation, the NRA
operated at sub-normal pace to-
day.
Work continued on secondary
codes, and ten were made ready
for submission to President Roose-
Welt, but completion of work on
the retail code, most important
now awaiting action, was delayed
by Johnson's absence. The MIRA
made public, however, a survey of
kilograms and letters on the code
with the announcement that they
indicated overwhelming approval
of the price provisions of the ten
tative agreement.

BIG STRIKE At
FORD FACTORY
5000 Walk Out at Chester
After Hours Cut, Pay
Not Boosted

CHESTER, Pa, Sept. 27 CUP
Five thousand employees of the
Ford Motor company's plant here,
refusing to accept a minimum
wage of so cents an hour for a
32-hour week, went on strike yes
terday.
The strikers have been work
ing 40 hours a week with a So
cent minimum hourly wage. They
were notified last week of the 32-
hour week schedule at the same
minimum wage.
The strike came as a complete
surprise to company officials,
plans for it having been whispered
from worker to worker. The plant
had never before experienced la
Dor trouble.
There had been no indication
of trouble until the workers sud
denly abandoned their jobs and
marched quietly fro mthe COM
pany buildings. Their procession
circled the plant several times and
then formed a line of march
through the streets of Chester.
They gathered at the Ukranian
Hall where they were addressed
by E. A. Rinehart, of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
A committee of ten in charge
of the meeting, notified William
Green. head Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, who said he
would send representatives to
Chester at once.
The workers agreed unanimous
Iy that they will not return to the
plant until they are guaranteed 9
minimum wage of $25 for a 35'
hour week.
