STAB|L|z|NG AUTO
Jobs INVESTIGATED
Code Extension Is Regarded
as Providing Delay for
Employment Study.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt's decision in the
automobile code controversy was gen.
orally regarded today as compro-
mise attempt to prevent conflict from
disrupting industrial peace.
The President issued an order last
night prolonging the N. r. A. code
for the vast industry for 80 days with
out change and announcing an in
vestigation aimed at smoothing out
peaks and valleys in automobile EN-
ployment. The code would have ex-
pired tonight.
Union labor, which some time age
sought 30-hour week and an end
to the merit clause" under which
employers can hire and fire without
regard to union Affiliations, had asked
q hearing on the code. After the en-
ployment study is completed. the
President will determine whether the
hearing will be held.
Manufacturers had favored extend
ing the code unchanged.
Labor Tells Story.
The President. in ordering the in
uuiry into sterilization of employment
before the code again expires on Feb
ruary /. apparently recalled a chat ne
had with a blue -Shirted automoDlie
worker.
The conversation took place last
Winter at the White House. where
labor delegation from Detroit had
come to confer on the code.
Suddenly Mr.. Roosevelt turned 10
one and asked what he earned. The
reply was $50 a day"
The President said this seemed ike
q pretty good wage.
But" the worker replied. last year
I made less than $780,
In his last radio speech to the
Nation, the President referred to the
importance of good annual salaries as
opposed to daily wage rates. In ex-
tending the automobile code, he went
more deeply into the question, express
ing himself in identical letters to Will
liam Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor. and Alvin Ma
cauley. president OF the Automoole
Manufacturers Association.
Roosevelt Not Satisfied.
81 have no hesitation in telling you,
Mr.. Roosevelt said. that there are
number of matters connected with
this code with which l have never
been fully satisfied. I believe that a
number of them need to be cleared up
and a number of other matters need
immediate and intensive study.
"As you will recall. talked with
several of the manufacturers last
Spring in regard to the objective OF
so arranging automobile work that
the employees could have reasonable
assurance of employment through
greater part Of the year than they
now enjoy. For example, 1t Is not

NEW YORK c. D. P.
QUARRE[S AIDING
DEMOCRATIC VOTE
Victory for Lehman, Cope
land and Others on Ticket
Practically Conceded.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

NEW YORK. November 3.-The En-
pire State battle-ground in the past
which has often seen Republican VIC
tories, is safely Democratic this year.
This is partly due to devastating
quarrels among the Republicans. A
year ago the Republicans in New York,
making common cause with disgusted
Democrats and independents, elected
their Fusion" candidate for mayor,
Fiorello La Guardia. Immediately
there arose in the breast Of the G. o.
p a hope that something might be
done in the State elections this year.
But a long series of rows, resulting
finally in the Ousting OF w. Kingsland
Macy from the State chairmanship,
made the Republican hopeless.
Aided By Roosevelt Position.
The Democrats will re-elect Gov.
Lehman beyond the shadow OF a
doubt unless the most astute Repub-
hcsn politicians are themselves fooled
Then. too, President Roosevelt S
action yesterday in abandoning his
hands off, policy to appeal for Leh-
mans election is expected 10 aid the
Governor considerably.
The Republicans also had conceded
victory for Senator Royal S. Copeland
and the result is not expected TO be
affected by Mr. RoOSevelts omission
of the Senator's name in indorsing
Lehman.
The Democrats likewise are ex-
pected to retain their advantage in the
House delegation. The makeup of
; that delegation today is 20 Democrats
to IS Republicans. The Democrats
insist they will increase this lead by
one or two seats The Republicans. on
the other hand. say they will retain
their present l6 seats and gain one
or two now held by the Democrats
The prospective change in the House
delegation, II it materializes, will
not be impressive.
OF great importance to the Repub-
licans in this State is the control OF
the State Assembly and Of the State
Senate. At present the Republicans
have fair ma jority in the Assembly
and the Democrats hold the Senate
by single vote. Both sides are
working hard TO control these legis-
lative bodies and both claim victories.
II the Republicans can regain con-
troll OF the Senate, though only by
a single vote and can retain their
majority in the House they will feel
they have accomplished quite a lot.
II in addition. they can make a net
gain in their representation in the
House delegation which will 20 to
Washington next January. and if they
can keep Lehman's plurality in the
gubernatorial election down to 800
600 or less. their cup Of joy will be
quite full. They will look forward
with hope TO 1886.
There are. Of course q lot of IFS"
which must be surmounted to give

Not Clear to Reporters.
Reporters are still guessing whether
this meant he had voted very few
or very many times for individual
Republicans.
But Mr. Roosevelt did emphasize to-
day that he did not intend any inter-

There is no particular close associa-

STAND AROUSES GOSSIP.
Politicians Find Difficulty Solving
Presidents Remarks.
BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG.

President Roosevelt gave political
circles something to null over through
his public Endorsement yesterday of
the candidacy of his friend. Herbert
Lehman. for reelection as Governor
Of New York. and his emitting at
the time any mention Of Senator
Copeland or other Democratic candi-
dates in New York.
Mr.. Roosevelt made it very clear
yesterday that omission of Copeland's S
name was not an oversight. Asked
about 1t. the President replied that he
was discussing only his old friend
Lehman. This answer was viewed by
some as evasive.
One OF the newspaper group asked
jocularly If the President did not
always vote the straight Democratic
ticket. With twinkle in his eve
the President retorted to the effect
that his listeners would be amazed
to know how many times in the past
he voted for individual Republicans.
Even then, however, those familiar
with the Presidents mind doubted
very much that he intended to give
the idea he would vote against SEN
ator Copeland. They were of the
opinion that Mr.. Roosevelt was in
dulging in irony when he mentioned
that he had voted for individual Re-
publicans in the past.
Political Quarters Stirred.
The fact that the White House
last night made no attempt to coun-
teract the impression the President
had intended to snub Senator Cope
land naturally gave rise today to all
