Eagle Brought Codes.

Five. There was an immediate
necessity for starting the codif1cation
process throughout the whole of in
dustry. The Presidents re-employ-
ment agreement provided for wages
and hours on a little more drastic
scale than was convenient for some
industries. Relief for them lay in
submission of codes and an accurate
determination after a public hearing
of what the exact rates should be.
The plan worked. The Blue Eagle
brought in the codes.
Sixth. As a rule of administration,
it is much easire to lay down a gen.
eral rule and then deal with the ex-
ceptions than to attempt to deal with
each case separately. The Presidents
agreement laid down the general rule.
The codes permitted US to deal with
the exceptions. We should have failed
on any other plan.
Such were the reasons for the
Presidents unemployment agreement
and the Blue Eagle. That, too, has

which have already developed but
these are the II principal heads OF
improvement and these, together with
whatever may develop as a result of
this meeting, will be the principal
heads of discussion in the code con-
ference which opens March S.
1t is our purpose to determine in
the code conference. the opinion in
codif1ed industries as to how many
of these improvements we can put
into effect by general presidential
rulings, leaving to each industry the
opportunity to show why the applica-
ton of such rulings can not, or ought
not to be applied to it, or to what
extent such rulings ought to be modi-
fed or stayed. It is our plan to
move into this corrective process just
as soon as the code conference Is
finished.
