Mr.. Drake said that the settle
ment of the difficulties now is di-
rectly up to Mr.. Young. The plant
manager has expressed his eager
ness for a settlement, but has in
sisted emphatically on what he calls
his fright to hire and retain such

Mr.. Young has said that he could
put 225 men back at work by Mon
day, but has refused to discharge
men employed as strikebreakers in
order to give strikers their jobs.
Regional labor board officials have
indicated that the Winant commit

was no violence this morning when

was A. Lieber Company president.
Born in this city Aug. Is, 1868, the
son of Peter Lieber, former con-
sui. Civil war veteran and brewer,
and Sophia Lieber, Mr.. Lieber at
tended Indianapolis public schools,
the German English school and the
Indianapolis Business college. He
began as a bookeeper in the brewery

Johnson Resigns as Recovery Chief;
Board TO Assume NRA Administration

formulate policy and govern in
dustry through the codes.
2. An administrator, Or executive
officer, who will be, unlike General
Johnson merely an agent of the
board. He will have the influence
which his personality and force
naturally will convey, little more.
He will not have a powerful per
sonal staff such as Mr.. johnson has
had.
3. An advisory board along lines
of the present policy board and rep
resentatives, as it is, of industry,
labor, the consumer, the legal staff
and the research and planning divis-
ion. The present policy board, which
has not been very active, contains
three representatives from each of
these five units.
Labor Board Asks Power
Enforcement of the codes will be
handled through new division in
the department of justice.
President Roosevelt is expected to
accept a recommendation of the ma
tional labor relations board, made
to him today, to give it more power
in handling code violations involved
in strikes, whether they affect the
collective bargaining provisions OF
Section IA or not.
The labor board and its regional
boards would assume duties now
performed by the NRA compliance
board.
Control of prices and production
are definitely out of the reorganized
NRA. This follows the principles Of
Donald Richberg, chief counsel, who,
with Frances Perkins, secretary of
labor, won out over General john
son and thus paved the way for his
retirement. Mr.. Richberg undoubt-
edly will play a prominent role in
the reorganized NRA.
Who is to occupy the administra-
tor or executives job was the sub
ject of speculation today. 1t was
rather clearly indicated it will not
be figure of the dynamic generals
type, but a man of administrative
capacities.
Baruch Is Adviser
Bernard NJ. Baruch seems to have
eliminated himself, though he was
called in by President Roosevelt for
advice. General johnson was his
protege. The two counseled together
last night at Bethany Beach, Del,
the resort where Mr.. johnson stayed
for several days until he went to
New York recently to see the Pres
ident and Mr.. Baruch. He and Mr.
Baruch returned there last night.
It is obvious that the sinancier be-
came the go-between in the final
break. General johnson, long in Mr.
Baruch's employ, probably will re-
turn to private business in some
capacity advised by Mr.. Baruch. He
is to retain his administrator S
post nominally until Oct. Is, to pre-
pare a report on his campaign which
made the NRA a national institution
