BELIEF IN NRA IS
EXPRESSEDBYF FORD

Possibilities for Harm at Be-
ginning Held Overcome
by Good Sense

New York. Jan. 11.-(P,-The New
York Times. in q dispatch from De-
troit Thursday. said Henry Ford ex-
pressed complete belief in the ideal
behind the NRA.
The dispatch recounted an inter-
view obtained by Harold N. Denny Of
The Times staff in one Of the offices
Of the Ford engineering laboratories.
and the motor car manufacturer was
quoted as saying of the NRA:
There is no possible way for them
to do any HARM" he said. The MIRA
IS being improved. We believe abso-
lutely In what it is trying to do. There
were possibilities Of harm at the be-
ginning, but somebody with good sense
stepped in"
Further on. he was quoted:
so. up to the present time. we have
believed absolutely in the ideal be-
hind the NRA. But the MIRA hasn't
tackled the fundamentals yet There's
peen too much selfishnesS in the sup
port Of 1t. Some interests thought
they could use the NRA to start q
new trade trust and run out the in
dependents.
well, it didn't work. But MIRA
didn't stop them-the independents
did. You can't squash people out.
Independence is part Of every Amer
lcan. And it has not been responsible
for any Of our ills-our loss of indie
pendence Is what causes trouble"
Need New Outlook
Ford said the new era viii not be In
the hands Of the people who try to do
things in the same old way" and he
denounced what he called the concen-
tration Of attention on money by the
MIRA supporters.
They are trying to hang on to the
money system" he was quoted. They
are trying to rebuild things In the
same old circle. And It can't be done.
We have got to break out Of that
circle II we're going to get anywhere. :
Departure Of the United States
from the gold standard doesn't interest
me. That's just part Of the supersti-
ton Of money. People accept gold be-
cause It looks good to them"
There Is some terrible fallacy in
the price system" he said, something
humanity wrong. The MIRA Is tied up
with the price system and 90 Is be-
ginning ct tho wrong end Of the
problem"
I'VE have never seen any overpro-
duction Of anything" the manufac-
tilrer was further quoted. There a

The turtle was a funny sight. It padded on with al its might. Wee Scouty looked back t'ward the shore, and then he sadly sighed.
 I'm sorry that we've left be- hind our friend the hunter. He was kind! We had no chance to thank him for this very thrilling ride.

 "Aw, don't be frightened" Coppy cried. "Just sit still and enjoy this ride. The turtles sure to get tired out. Then he will head for land.

 This left the Tinies swimming round where none of them could touch the ground. Of course, such a predicament filled everyone with fright.

NEW YORK. - Following the
victories gained by C.W.A. strikers
throughout the country, C.W.A.
strikes continued to spread in
Pennsylvania, New York State,
and in other parts of the country.
In Shamokin and Mount Carmel,
Pa, more than 1000 C.W.A.
workers struck on the job Friday
night. In Lancaster, preparations
are under way for a huge demon
stration of C. w. A. and unem-

welt pay cuts. The monster
strikes in Northern New York,
involving at one time more than

Strike Votes
Force RR Pay
Cut Rejection
But Rail Union Officials
Still Maneuvre to Aid
Roosevelt, Bosses

WASHINGTON, March IT. -
With the rising storm of rank and
file strike votes on various rail-
roads staring them in the face, Of
ficials of the 81 standard railway
unions yesterday rejected the pro-
posals of the companies and Roose-
welt for continuation of the 10
per cent wage cut beyond June 80,
1884. They also rejected the earlier
demand of the company for a Is
per cent wage cut after that date.
Following President Roosevelt S
cue of continuing the wage cut for
six months, after the date of its
expiration, the railroad bosses had
proposed it continue for ten months.
The action of the railway labor
executives, coming at a time of
tremendous strike sentiment and
preparation in auto and steel, has
caused CONSERVATION in government
circles.
w. F. Thiehoff, chairman of the
Railway Executives Committee, in
formed the union heads in a public
statement that the action of the
railway labor executives came as a
surprise and shock. However, the
railroad bosses, with Roosevelt's
support, knowing of past maneuvers
whereby the same union officials
aided them in putting over wage
cuts, feel confident that they will
be able to get their collaboration
this time also.
Initiate Roosevelt
The very wording of Alexander F.
Whitney's statement speaking for
the railway labor executives re-
jecting the wage cut proposals, tries
to arouse the confidence of the rail-
way workers in Roosevelt, and at
tempts to prepare them to accept
Roosevelt as mediator in putting
over a wage cut finally.

has come as a surprise and as a
