MISS PERKINS TO CONFER.
Labor Secretary Will Discuss Case
With Johnson.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April %
CP).-After urging improved working
conditions, Secretary Of Labor Frances
Perkins told Tennessee labor leaders
today that she would confer with Gen.
Hugh Johnson, Recovery Administra-
tor, regarding the banishment of blue
eagles by Hartman, Tenn, merchants.
Miss Perkins was speaker at the
Tennessee Valley Institute and later
conferred with Paul Aymon and w. E.
Cheek of the State Federation OF
Labor.
She said the labor federation Off
cials showed her a copy Of a telegram
sent to President Roosevelt and Gen.
johnson labelling "unpatriotic" the
stripping of blue eagles from SO Har-
riman business houses and charging
that the action resulted from "coer-
cion"
The merchants cast aside their
N. R. a emblems after the recovery
administration had withdrawn the
eagle from hosiery mill. The busi-
ness men said the mills pay roll was
an important source of revenue.
Il couldn't take any official action
in Tennessee-this is a sovereign
State" Miss Perkins said jestingly
when asked what would be done.
She said, however, that she would
discuss the matter with Gen. johnson
and A. j. Altmeyer Of the recovery
administration.

NEWSPR|NT GROUP.
HITS n. R. A. PLAN
Agrees to Push Fight
Against monopoly" Pro-
gram Proposed.

NEW YORK, April 2S.-The board
of directors and the Newsprint Com
mittee Of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association will push its
opposition to a proposed N. r. A. plan
to set up an alleged newsprint mo-
nopoly, General Manager L. B. Palmer
said tonight.
A resolution was adopted at the
associations convention yesterday op-
posing the plan. Palmer pointed out
that the resolution also opposed Gre
alton of a board Of nine to govern
the newsprint industry.
THE plan was submitted by the
N. r. A. Administration and referred
to the convention" he said. 1T pro-
posed a monopolistic condition in the
newsprint industry, and that was the
main ground on which it was turned
down.
In addition, the N. r. A. Admin
istration proposed to set up board
to supersede the code authority, and
this also was rejected"
The resolution instructed the direc-
tors and the Newsprint Committee
Ito take every proper step to prevent
a monopoly of the United States
newsprint market by any combination
of producers, domestic or domestic
and foreign, the setting up Of any
price-flxing scheme by collusion OF
otherwise, or the approval by the N
r. A. of any plan which includes
Vrina-6vinn yNr0roffnt, nj
tonnage, parcelling of consumers, re-
striction Of importations or curtail-
ment of use Of newsprint paper"

FRENCH SCHOLAR
OPPOSED TO N.R.A.
Director of Economic Stud.
les Society Cites Three
Disadvantages.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, April 28.-The disadvan-
tages of the N. R. A. seem to out
weigh its advantages" Francois Her
bette, director of the Society for Eco
nomic Studies, told the French Acad-
emy of Moral and Political Sciences
today.
President Roosevelt, he said in q
report on "the industrial aspect of the
Roosevelt experiment" has kept a free
hand in the workings of the N. r. A.
by refraining to let "the supposed
brain trust" establish "a sort of ire
sponsible dictatorship"
Three main disadvantages, however
were seen by M. Herbette:
First, "The complex regulation of
1875 codes now in force and essentially
dynamic in character: this regulation
would cause wonder if this attempt
however producent, at managed econ
omy is not such as to hinder produc-
ton"
Second, Increasing labor troubles
remain disturbing sign"
Third, Business recovery, largely
attributable to imitation of public ex-
penditures, may not withstand the
shocks which a Strengthening and
strict application Of new legislation
may bring about"
President Roosevelt himself, the
speaker declared, indicates by his
conciliatory attitude toward industry
that he is not overlooking these dan.

given, the first to prove that there
was no tuberculosis and the second
to find out how much the man knew
about farming He was asked such
questions as, when would he feed
sheep. how would he plant peas.
where would he look for lice on
chickens. The next step was visit
to the mans wife. She was asked
whether she wanted to live on
small farm and whether she could do
the canning. Finally the children
were interviewed.
If it was ascertained that the whole
family wanted to live in this way and
they all passed the physical test. then
the man started in working on the
construction Of his house and the
making Of the furniture and his wife
began to learn how to weave and
knit.
Houses May Be Enlarged.
Featured In this exhibition are the
architectural plans for the houses and
the Community Center at Reedsville.
The architect is Eric Gugler of New
York. He has worked out an ingeni-
GUS plan whereby the houses are at
tractive and can be added to, as
mans family increases, or If he makes
more money and wants to spread out,
with very little expense. The original
house has two rooms. The cost is
$1,000. Two more rooms can be at

tached for $500 more, and still two
more, making a six-room house. may
be added for s400. This makes a
total expenditure of $4,000.
The Community Center is where
the industrial life of the community
will take place Here will be the car
pentry shop, the forge and the looms.
Plans are being made for community
orchards and saw mill.
On the same board on which Eric
Gugler's houses are shown is a plan
for a 2-acre homestead plot with gar
dents. Two-thirds of an acre are de-
voted to an orchard with apple. pear
and peach trees. One-fourth of an
acre is for rotating vegetable gar
den, one-eighth of an acre for late
corn, and another eighth for late pota-
toes. One-half an acre is devoted to
space for the home. a movable poultry
house and flower garden. Finally
there is half an acre for the regular
garden. in which can be grown sweet
potatoes, corn, cucumbers, melons,
squash, okra, spinach, tomatoes, cab
bages. peas, beans, radishes, onions,
eggplant. parsnips, carrots ana as
paraguS.
1t is claimed by the Department Of
the Interior that IL acres of good
land is sufficient to produce all the
vegetables, potatoes and small fruits
for the use of family of five through
out the year."

the rest OF the administrations pro-
gram has been disposed of.
Airman Bill Passed.
The Senate yesterday finally put
through the McKellar-Black airmail
bill, after defeating all substitutes Of
fered by Republicans and by Senator
McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada. The
vote against the Republican substi-
tutes was 56 to 10, and against the
McCarran substitute, As to 26. The
bill now goes to the House, which al
ready has on its calendar bill of its
own. very different from the Senate
measure. 1t may be that the Senate
bill will eventually die and the House
bill become the law. The Senate de-
bated for a week and more this air
mail measure, during which the ad-
ministration's annulment Of the old
airmail contracts was vigorously at
tackled and Just as vigorously de-
Pending before the House tomorrow
will be the conference on the new
revenue bill. 1t is expected to vote
down the Couzens amendment adopted
in the Senate, providing for 10
per cent increase Of all income tax
bills payable next year, and to ac-
cept the rest of the measure as 1t
was worked out in conference. Then,
it Is believed, the Senate will follow
suit, thereby finally disposing of this
far-reaching revenue measure. The
House will next take up the stock
exchange bill.
Senate Wants Commission.
The stock exchange bill, as pre-
sented to the House, differs in some
important respects from the bill now
on the Senate calendar The House
bill, for example. makes the Federal
Trade Commission an agent of regu-
lation, while the Senate bill provides
for a new commission entirely.
The bankruptcy bills with which
the Senate will occupy itself, beginning
Monday, both have already passed the
House. The municipal bankruptcy bill
is designated as an emergency"
measure and Is to be effective for
two years. It is designed to give some
relief to cities, counties and other
minor political subdivisions which
have found themselves in great finan-
cial distress. The corporation bank
ruptcy bill proposes amendments to
existing law which are designed to
make such proceedings greatly less
costly and burdensome to the corpora
tions in difficulty, and to provide a
uniform system throughout the coun-
try.

6y LILO hboOCAdtco ELCoss
The National Labor Board, In q
summary Of its major decisions issued
for the guidance of other labor
agencies yesterday, reafirmed a stand
diametrically opposed to principles
laid down by President Roosevelt in
settling the automobile strike.
1.-The representatives selected by the
majority Of the employees within
given plant or department" said the
summary of the board rulings. "are
the sole collective bargaining agency
for the plant or department"
This would leave nlinorities out,
requiring them to take whatever the
majority agreed to.
In the automobile settlement the
President expressed hope that there
might develop "a kind of works coun-
Gil in industry in which all groups Of
employees, whatever may be their
choice or organization or form Of
representation, may participate in
joint conferences with their en-
ployers.'
Wagner Bill Favored.
The principle of representation for
all factions is the traditional inter-
probation followed by N. r. A.
Issuance of the decisions was ac-
companied by a statement from Mil
ton j. Handler, board counsel, that
the Wagner labor bill, now being re-
vised at the instance of President
Roosevelt, should be passed virtually
as originally drafted, to give the
Labor Board sweeping power to ad-
judicate labor disputes.
He disclaimed speaking for the
Senator, but has been close to him
in all affairs relating to the proposed
legislation.
Handler also described the decisions
collected by the board as "a rather
complete body Of common law on la
Dor questions" and he indicated def
nitely that it was the Labor Boards
intention to have them stand as prece-
dents not only for the 16 regional
Labor Boards under it, but also for the
Industrial Relations Boards being set
up in each industry under N. R. A.
Enforcing Power Lacking.
He maintained the real weakness
of the Labor Board, which has been
def1ed and attacked by almost every
big corporation called before it and
by numbers Of industrial organiza-
tions, was lack of enforcing power, a
situation remediable by legislation He
outlined as points which such legis-
lation should have:
Reorganization of the board to add

more impartial members, with ex-
panded staff, all independent Of any
other Government agency.
Power Of subpoena, usable even In
conciliation cases.
Separation of conciliation and judi
cial procedure.
Power to enforce decisions in cases
involving violation of the law, by
giving it authorities similar to the
Federal Trade Commission.
Definite Power Asked.
Definite power to conduct indus
trial elections, with obligation on en-
ployers to furnish pay roll lists and
allow board agents on their premises.
Formal recognition of the principle
Of majority rule.
Recognition Of the boards verdicts
as the final say, constituting 1t q
supreme court of labor.
Retention Of mediation powers,
since disagreements not involving law
violation make up the bulk Of labor
disputes.
Nothing was said by Handler con-
corning company unions, which the
original Wagner bill would outlaw
The summary Of decisions, however
pointed out that the board "con-
demned the initiation of a company
union by an employer and the par
ticipation by him in its affairs, where
such initiation and participation has
in effect, been an interference with
the employees self-organization or re-
suited in fact in the domination OF
the organization by the employer, and
where the employees have not clearly
consented thereto"
Controversy Absent.
There has been no controversy
within the administration on this view
but only over further reaching limita-
tions Of company unions.
The other highlights Of the deci-
sions, except for the majority rule
question which Is in dispute within
the board, also corresponded to gen.
orally accepted principles. Handler
maintained the difference of opinion
over the majority question turned on
whether the industrial recovery ac,
should be interpreted as requiring
separate bargaining by all groups. Ir
principle, he said, virtually all experts
agree that bargaining for all by the
spokesmen chosen by the majority Is
the proper solution.
The Presidents statement accom-
panying the auto settlement, how
ever. distinctly expresses desire fol
super-union type of council repre-
sentative of all factions.

VANDALS BLOCK
OIL DELIVERIES
Cleveland Strike Eased,
However, by Return of
PTS Drivers.
BY the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, April 2s.-
Vandalism forced major oil companies
to abandon deliveries Of gasoline to
300 independent filling stations today
as 275 union tank truck drivers re-
turned to work pending negotiation
Of their dispute with the companies.
Tires of gasoline trucks were de-
flated, ignition wires ripped out and
shellac poured into crank cases as q
crowd Of several hundred sympathiz-
ers, with a strike of 1000 filling sta
ton attendants, assembled at bulk
plants in an industrial district known
as the flats"
The crowd, which accused the driv-
ers of selling us out" was broken
up by rs policemen. Disorders were
reported in other parts Of the city as
some deliveries were made.
Quiet reigned at the local plant Of
the Fisher Body Co.. where a strike
called by the Automotive Workers
Federal Union Is under way. The
Fisher Body Employees Cooperative
Association, claiming to represent g.
600 non-striking employees, appealed to
Common Pleas Court for an injunc-
ton restraining pickets from inter-
fering with their return to work, as
serting that as long as the strike
continues, they are losing $4,000 a
day in wages.
The restraining order was opposed
at hearing by attorneys for the
-srikers, who accused the Fisher Cor
poration of attempting to fight its
battle behind IA men who represent
a company union"
Judge George p Baer deferred his
decision on the order until Monday.
Francis J. Dillcn, A. F. of L. organ
izer from Flint, Mich, addressed a
meeting Of several hundred strikers
today, and then returned to Detroit
with a committee which, he said, will
confer with the Automobile Labor
Board, returning tomorrow to report
to the strikers.
"At that time" he said, Eve expect
to have a basis of settlement which
the strikers will be asked to approve"
Effects Of the strike at the Fisher
plant here and in other cities were
reflected at Toledo. where the Libbey-
Owens-Ford Glass Co. reported a

mated glass for automobiles.

Says Company Refused to Accept
Agreement.
BY the Associated Press.
Refusal by the management Of one
mill to sign an agreement with its
employees is listed on N. R. A. records
as the cause for the wholesale sur
render of Blue Eagles in the town of
Hartman, Tenn.
The record of the case, traced
through official statements by the
Recovery Administration, says that
for almost year. since before there
were codes, Unemployment agree
ments or Blue Eagles, the Hartman
Hosiery Mills had refused to sign an
agreement with the United Textile
Workers which many of its workers
have chosen to join.
The record says that, insisting it
was acting within its legal rights, the
company has discharged workers,
used injunctions in it's fight and
caused the arrest of "a workers when

Refused Agreement.
At the instance of the National
Labor Board, its officials repeatedly
have conferred with the disputants
Once an agreement was committed
to paper, but the mill Representatives
said they had no authority to sign.
Twice workers who came to WASH
ington have been jailed on their re-
turn home for alleged offenses COM
mitted earlier.
In the end, the board called the
company violator of the industrial
act and formally concluded:
THE Hartman Hosiery Mills has
infringed the rights of its employees
to bargain collectively through repre-
sentatives of their own choosing, as
recognized by section of the national
industrial recovery act, by entering
negotiations in bad faith with the
definite intention not to make any
agreement with the representatives Of
its employees"
Eagle Removal Delayed.
When removal of the eagle was Or
dered, the company protested again
and obtained a delay in the action.
After the final removal of the eagle,
when the company faced shutdown
because it would be an offense for any
store to handle its goods, Sc mer-
chants and business men of the town
wired Hugh S. Johnson they wanted
to surrender their eagles, too in pro-
test against deprivation of the COM
munitys principal pay roll.
They insisted on their faith and
belief that the said mill is operated
and managed in strict obedience Of
the laws and codes"
To find out for himself what the
real situation is and what had best
be done. Johnson today sent to Har-
riman George L. Berry, labor leader,
high official of N. R. A., native and
landholder in Eastern Tennessee.
The company has argued that it
was technically within the law. Some
officials believe the technicality may
exist.
