FACTORY IS CLOSED.
ON N.R.A. DECISION
500 Workers Are Thrown
Out of Employment at
Fredericksburg.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch TO The star.
FREDERICKSBURG, Va, July IL.
The G. g. II. Manufacturing Co.
makers Of mems clothing. closed its
large plant here today, throwing out
Of employment nearly 500 workers,
most of whom are women and girls.
The shutdown. which Is complete,
is for an indefinite period. and is the
first time the plant has been idle in
the 81 years since it was established
here.
The management had no state
ment to make except that the factory
would be closed indefinitely and nc
indication was given as to when il
might reopen.
not due to lack of orders, as opera
tions have been going on at fun ca
pacity in recent years. but is the
result OF last weeks ruling by the
Compliance Board Of the National
Recovery Administration ordering l.
Grief & Bros Inc, of Baltimore
owners Of the G. g. II. plant here and
10 other factories in Virginia, Mary
! land and Pennsylvania. to pay nearly
| 100000 in back wages and to con-
tinue the higher scale or else be de-
/ prived of the Blue Eagle.
The concern was given until July
| l9 TO make restitution of back wages
or surrender the Blue Eagle and be
cited to the Department Of Justice
for prosecution.
The amount Of back wages assessed
represents the "differential" which
the code authority Of the mems
clothing industry has ordered to be
paid in excess Of minimum wage re-
quirementS and which the company
contends Is arbitrary and unrelated
to the present earning capacity and
skill Of the workers and is unfair.
incalculable and not susceptible to
uniform application"
The management states that it has
paid minimum wages OF better, but
that they have refused" to allow the
Mems Clothing Code Authority TO
dictate the wages to be paid above
the minimum to all their employees. "
The wage dispute does not apply
directly to the Fredericksburg plant,
where operations are of a different
nature from those in other units of
the Grief organization. There has
been no complaint by local employees
as to wages or other working eondi-
tions.
i. Whether other plants OF the COM
pany were closed today could not be
learned here. The only other Vir-
ginia plant is located at Staunton.
The Grief company contends that
the current proceedings involve the
constitutionality of the national re-
! covery act and also an attempt by
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
of America to compel all manufac-
turers to submit to the union or be
! forced out of business.
| L. Grief q Brother, Inc. Is the
second largest clothing manufacturer
in the United States, employing over
1000 persons.
All of its plants are operated on
the open shop basis.
