was growing more bitter.
Defense brigades for the NRA
were coming to the fore. Senator

anxious to answer the critics who
have seized upon the Darro* re
port to demand that the NRA be

were largely responsible for crca-

The most severe. criticism Of
NRA has come thus far from
Nye. He promised to continue his
assault today after denouncing
the MIRA administration and pre-
dieting wholesale designations Of
NRA personnel as soon as con-

try will be limited to not more
than IS per cent of their code
maximum for period Of ~

of National Recovery Administra-
tor Hugh S, Johnson issued yes

Johnson's order approved the
recommendation of the code au-
thoritv for the cotton textile in
dustry for temporary limitation
of their productive machinery.
It's purpose is to avert over
production and consequent unem-
ployment by reducing the output
of mills during their dull season.
MANY r-ins rnstomariiv shut dow"
during the summer season and it
is believed that this uniform re-
duction in hours will produce a
more equitable sharing of the
work among mills in the north

duced through reduced hours but
payments will be we'll above the
usual slack noriod it was pointed
