IRA HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK

MIA HIUHLlGHIS OF THE WEEK
Good News For Housewives: An
other step has been taken in the di-
rection Of eliminating misleading de-
scriptions of goods sold to consumers.
At the request Of NRA's Consumers
Advisory Board, the American Stan
dard Assn. is proceeding to confer
with producers, consumers and govern
nent groups for the purpose of de-
veloping simple model methods of de-
signing qualities or grades. Present
descriptions, according to the Consum-
ers Board, consist largely of super
Iatives piled up to such an extent as
TO make it entirely unsafe for a con-
ans to take them at face value"
The new system khould substitute
terms Of fixed meaning for such lau-
datory adjectbveb as Supreme and
Super" the report emphasizes, and
should be applicable to goods bought
at retail as we'll as wholesale.
Courts Continue To Uphold NRA:
The Litigation Division reports that
for the 6-week period ending Septem-
Der Is, the previous record of favor
able decisions and actions by the
courts in cases involving NRA has
continued. Only one decision out of
26 was ~unfavorabie. In additin, the
Division adjusted 6 cases without re-
course to legal action Outstanding
was the case of the Jay Day Frocks
Co, which turned over $11,915 to the
Code Authority for distribution to
jobbers who had been compelled to
make unlawful secret rebates.
Back Pay Restored To Workers: The
Iona Dress Co. of New York this
week posted a certified check for
S17,500 with the Code Authority for
the dress manufacturing industry to
cover claims for back wages withheld
from workers in violation of the code
The concern also consented to a per-
manent injunction restraining it from
further violations, and In the agree
ment which it signed, the Iona Co
admitted the interstate character o.
its business, and the constitutionalitJ
and validity Of NRA and the dress
code.
Houde Co. Deprived Of Blue Eagle:
At the recommendation of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board, Gener.
al Johnson has deprived the Houde
Engineering Co. of Buffalo of the
right to display the Blue Eagle il
any form. The Labor Board held that
the Houde Co. was impaIring the
right of its employees to bargain col.

the funeral. There were toe many
men carrying one box; SO the tractor
finished the job.
