 At West Branch, Mich, Ford was said to have emerged from the trailer and joined Mrs Ford in the automobile, proceeding at once to Detroit. He is believed to have ar rived here Sunday and to have gone to his estate at Dearborn.
 Efforts to reach Ford at the laboratories were futile. At his is not here" The Ford official who said that Ford had returned, also said he was "in conference"
 It was believed that Ford soon would break the silence he has maintained regarding putting S0,- 900 workers he employees under MIRA regulations.
 With acceptance of the code by majority of the industry before the Sept readline, it became known that Ford did not favor all of its provisions.
 In particular, it was known that the manufacturer objected to the "collective bargaining" provisions Of the code. Long an advocate of none-union labor, Ford always had met possible criticism of his in- siatence upon non-unionization by paying q higher wage scale that they held for the industry at large.
 Recently. Ford said. "I would have to live down to the code to live up to it." He referred to his minimum wage of 50 cents an hour. The code minimum Is a cents. Ford factories are working a 70 hour week, and the code prescribes c 3S-hour week.

 Stock Exchange Fights
 New York, Sept 11-(UP)---A proposed municipal tax on stock transfers and gross business of brokerage houses will drive large of New York city and perhaps out of the country, Richard Whitney, president of the New York Stock exchange, warned the city adminis- tfation today.
 The first witness at public hearing of the city's proposed pro- gram for raising funds for unem- ployment relief. Whitney derided the belief that all brokers are mak- ing money, and said that with the exception of two periods one in July and August of last year and the other between the middle of April and middle of July this year nearly all members of the ex- change were operating at . loss.
 Additional burdens, he predicted, such as the cents a share trans fer tax, would force business to other cities and possibly to Europe, where lower costs prevail.
 The taxes, proposed by Samuel Untermeyer, to meet an impending credit crisis, met overwhelming op- board of estimate.
 Protestants damned the alder manic chamber, and letters and telegrams of complaint poured into the city hall.
 "The exchange would much pre- fer to stay where it is," Whitney said. Tt has invested more than $20, 900, 900 in its properties. Ex- cessive taxation can and will drive this business out of the state of New York. If this business leaves New York then the New York Stock exchange will in effect cease to exist. It is not n question, and so many people have started, of the stock exchange moving away from New York. It is solely tho question as to whether the city by imposing prohlbitivc taxes will drive the stock market away from the city and leave the exchange an empty and unproductive shell"
