Johnson, Disappointed Over NRA
Conference Results, Calls Two
New Sessions OF Code Leaders
Reduction Working Hours
Is Again Urged as
Necessity

WASHINGTON, March 8. CUP.
General Hugh S. Johnson express
ed frank disappointment last
night over the results or lack OF
them, in two weeks Of NRA con-
ferences and called two new ses-
sions of industrial code authorl-
ties for today to get down to
business.
Addressing congress of code
authorities packed into huge Con
stitution hall, he demanded that
every industry which could do SO
cut its average hours of labor 10
per cent and raise It's average
hourly wage 10 per cent to IN
crease employment without de-
creasing the income of those al
ready employed.
He warned the assembled in
dustrialists against attempting to
interfere with the free organlza-
ton of their workers, and an
nounced a new drive to rcOrgan-
ize the penal sections of the re-
covery act. -.
A campaign to revive public
sentiment for the blue eagle will
accompany the tightening of pun
ishment for violating the recover
act. he said, and significantly
added:
Don't advise anybody to triflc
with that bird"
The administrator also announc-
ed flatly that he expected to re-
main at his post "for the dura-
ton" unless he or the president
felt that he was no longer doing
proper job.
The conference of code author
tiles of the last three days and
the joint meeting last night were
characterized by the general as
unique in history Gas important
as the council of Nicea or. the
treaty of Versailles"
He said that his disappointment
over what he considered the fail
ure of the code authorities to
produce definite ideas for solving
code problems might be due to
excessive expectations, but made
it clear that he wasn't willing to
wind up the sessions without some
definite accomplishment.
"We have to plan our way out
of this mud hole" he said, "and
that must be done by hard-head-
ed business men and not by
academicians."
He conceded freely that all in
dustries could not be. treated alike
in changing wages and hours and
! stressed the intention of the adj
ministration of continuing to pro-
coed by cooperation and consulta
ton as far as possible.
He called on the capital good:

ing the prison sentences.
Sheriff Wood came here this

following a continuance of time
allowed by the court Monday for
the writ to be filed after Judge
Finley had denied a motion for \
permanent writ Of habeas corpus.
The court instructed Sheriff
Wood this morning that it was
not necessary to bring the fou'
men here. as his authority ended
with the denying of the habeas
corpus proceedings on Monday.
Sheriff Wood stated that the
four men. T. H. Shipman, j. II

Ralph R. Fisher today were MAX
ing arrangements to go to Ra-
