FACTIONS BATTLE

Scott and Olds Seek Proxies in
Fight to Dominate REQ

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LANSING, Mich. April 7.-R. H.
Scott, president OF the REQ Motor Car
Co., and r. E. OldS, chairman Of the
company and one of its founders. were
srrayed against each other tonight in
proxy battle for control of one Of
Americas oldest motor car companies,
which will reach q showdown at the
annual stockholders meeting here
April II.
The New Management Committee, /"
headed by Olds. which was created
last December after Scott WAS deposed
as general manager, issued q lengthy
statement tonight, appealing for proxy
support among the stockholders. 1t
laid the responsibility ON Scott for
conditions within the company which
were depicted by SCOTS faction in its
appeal for stockholder support.
The Scott faction has sent letter
to stockholders charging q decline Of
S5l ,000,00 In sales in the last six
years, q decrease Of working capital
Of IS per cent and losses Of more than
10000, 900 in the last four years. The
Scott committee, Of which w. 8.
Diamond Is chairman, charged the
majority Of the present directors hold
less than $4,000 of the 300, 900 shares
outstanding, and added that Chairman
Olds had disposed of most Of his stock.

PLANS MADE TO REOPEN.

BIRMINGHAM. Ala, April 2 R.-
Preparations were made in the Ala
bama coal fields tonight to reopen
more than go commercial mines under
the protection of an injunction to
restrain the N. r. A. from enforcing
the higher wage scale and shorter
hours provided in an amendment to
the bituminous coal code.
But even rs preparations were being
made. officials Of the United Mine
Workers of America said it was "ex-
tremely doubtful that the majority
of the $1,000 miners, made idle by q
shutdown ordered yesterday. would
return to work.
The injunction for q Today period
was granted by Federal Judge G. B
Kennamer in District Court, after
hearing arguments that the new scale
was impossible to pay" and that II
wiped out the markets Of the Ala
bama fields by eliminating q wage
differential established in the bitumi-
nous coal code. Hearing on q perma-
nent injunction has been set for
April 16.
w. H. Huey, district representative
Of the United Mine Workers, said he
doubted that the men would return
to work Monday.
Reports from the fields Saturday
indicate that the majority Of the men
are entirely unwilling to return to
work under the old wage and hour
agreement" Huey said. Furthermore
they believe to do SO would put them
in the position Of defyins q Govern
ment ORDER
Alabama commercial operators, In
an advertising campaign have charged
that the elimination of the wage
differential Is to wipe out Southern
industry. and their campaign today
drew the support of Donald Conner,
textile operator.
Conner said "the effect is to stamp
out Southern industry and compel us
to return to nothing but agriculture
to produce cotton for world export in
competition with Hindu cotton to
create q favorable balance In interna-
tional trade"
Before the recent hearing in Wash
ington on the textile code, Conner
pointed to Boston textile magazine
which ran headlines Tide in Textiles
Turn to Yankeeland. Textile Code
Eliminates Differentials Favorable to
Other Sections"

Recovery Program at Most Defensive
Stage, Observer Says, With Rooseuelt's
Absence Battling Leaders.

President" in the emergency say they
feel freer now to assert their inde-
pendent judgment. Among presiden-
tial supporters. the stand of w. w.
Atterbury, president of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. was considered sig
nificant Of the change in the busi-
ness tide. Mr.. Atterbury. though
formerly member of the Republican
National Committee, came out In the
early Winter with a word Of hearty
praise for the Roosevelt program.
Within the last week. he called q
press conference In Philadelphia and
criticised the N. r. A. as q failure.
These various straws in the wind
are not overlooked by the congress
sional leaders. Not few OF them
privately have been hoping the Presi-
dent would cut short his fishing trip
and take personal command Of the
situation in Washington. 1t il felt
that he was wise to resort to the re-
freshing effect Of q sea trip when he
began to feel tired. In view OF the
reports in recent days. however, that
the President had regained his normal
vieor. legislative leaders have looked
for signs that he would return early
rather than late next week.
1t Is seldom that the President
leaves Washington at the height Of
the legislative season. On general
principles. Mr.. Roosevelt had laid
down a policy against doing so. Once
he made up his mind to 20. he did
not permit the imminence Of the fight
OH his veto to stop him, even though
1t might have been possible for him
personally to have Won over the three
or four extra votes thattwould have
sustained the veto in the Senate.
Legislative leaders feel that it was
better for the President to 60 then
than later. when the battle on Capitol
Hill becomes more intense.

time held that it was not the intent
Of the recovery act to require such an
animation to a code, although, he
said, once a contract was accepted
the contractor must abide by the pre-
scribed code for his industry or lose
the contract and be subject 10
penalty,
Conflict Of Law VisiOned.
Now. however, the Controller Gen.
eral apparently takes the stand that
the executive order has the force Of
law. and while signing of codes is still
not necessary, the required effect Is
obtained so far as the administration
is concerned by the certificates.
Another question that also had been
yisioned at the time Of the Presi-
dents order was whether it would
not conflict with the ordinary statute
governing contracts. which holds SIM
ply that they 90 to the lowest re-
spOnsible bidder. In yesterdays de-
cision. however. McCarl links in the
certificate Of compliance as q neces-
sary factor to be considered in estab-
fishing q lowest responsible bidder.
In other words, 1t seems definitely
determined now that where there is
an apparent conflict between the re-
covery act and other Federal statutes
the former takes precedence.
Yesterdays ruling came more or less
incidentally in q decision to the Post
master General covering some other
questions with regard to gasoline
contract.
Amid these developments the
Chamber of Commerce Of the United
States issued a statement crediting
many benefits" to code operation, but
warning against adoption OF arbitrary
or bureaucratic methods: asking that
In any extension OF N. r. A. both the
licensing provision Of the present law
and the Governments authority to
impose codes be dropped

LESS emphasis on economic re-

cry was advised by the chamber.
Johnson's letters to the compliance
directors said the arguments that
this is . new law" and that most
employers do not understand the OBJ
legations OF the codes" were now
hardly justified
They were instructed to send in
for the litigation division ANY un-
adjusted cases which are now in your
hands. which you have made rea-
sonable efforts to adjust and which
are supported by facts suficient to lay
the basis for indictment or injunction
proceedings. All such cases should
be labeled for court action"
After the 10 days. under the new

Just complaints Of non-nagrant

and the whole subject left to the de-
termination Of the Federal Reserve
Board.
"On every hand there appear en-
couraging signs Of further business
recovery" the chamber reported In
its fOrtnishtly summary Of national
business affairs. More men are being
put to work at better wages. Firms
and corporations. long in the red. are
either over the line or getting closer
to the black.
Some Of the recovery legislation
enacted in the last year has had q
wholesome effect In laying the basis
for business recovery and in strength
ening the Nations banking structure.
Forward Movement.
But attention Is now centering on
the need Of business for opportunity to
continue its forward movement, un-
hampered by new and unnecessary re-
strictions. Certain legislation. some OF
it on the statute books and some now
pending In Congress, threatens this
advance.
Proposed labor legislation produces
much uncertainty. The Wagner labor
disputes bill. which would do away with
company shop organizations and I'M
pose outside unions on employers, Of
fers q threat OF strikes and other labor
dificulties.
THE Wagner-Lewis bill for unem-
ployment reserves. proposing tax on
the country's pay rolls Of billion dol
lars q year. would put an impossible
burden upon industry. The Connery
bill. making 30-hour week mandatory
for all industry. would be detrimental
to recovery.
Capital Needed.
Business needs capital yet the Sc
curities act, hastily passed last year to
protect investors. has dried up capital
markets. The stock exchange bill. de-
signed to regulate exchanges. would, ii
enacted in its present form. open the
door to further governmental interfer-
ence with business firms whose Securi-
ties are listed.
Taxation legislation, now pending
contains provisions such as the re-
imposition Of the capital stock and
excess profits taxes. which would ad-
versely AFFECT business expansion.
Many troublesome problems must
be worked out before the country Is
again FIRMLY on its feet economically.
But ii seems that most Of these ques-
tions must be solved in the light OF
practical business experience and not
through too many legislative formulate.
with indications OF recovery be-
coming more pronounced. the general
feeling of business is that less en-
phssis now should be placed on eco
nomic reforms and more attention
should be given to the possibilities of
recovery through a free operation Of
normal economic laws.
The chamber interpreted the stock
exchange bill as proposing regulation
by q government bureau of the nm
ancial affairs OF private business to a
degree not at first realized" The
measure, it said. would result in "arti-
fetal limitations" of defatiOnary
nature on the extension Of credit on
securities by banks and others.

Senator said he would not take sides.
Senator Walcott, referring to Mrs.
Pinchot's charges Of wholesale VIOLA
tions of the codes in Pennsylvania,
asked:
Hasn't the Governor any power to
prevent violation of the codes?"
IT he had" retorted the Governors
wife, there wouldn't be any violations.
That's too easy"
Mrs. pinchot charged that enemies
Of labor had been put in as deputy
administrators and that they had
written most Of the codes. When
Senators Walcott and Walsh sought
to pin her down to naming names, she
replied: ct know that Leo Wolman
let the vicious cotton code go through
and that Donald Richberg did the
same thing as to the automobile code"
Senator Walcott remarked In the
course Of the hearing that employees
and employers should be equal
partners"
Page Gen. Johnson" said Mrs.
Pinchot.
Protection Needed.
II have come to speak for the Wag.
ner bill-the bill as 1t stands here,
I mean-without qualifications or
amendments. I believe that such leg
slation is necessary to protect the
workers-to protect honest employers
to protect business. More than that,
the return Of sane prosperity de-
pends to large extent upon such leg
iSlatiOn.
In Pennsylvania, unfortunately, as
have seen 1t, the N. r. A. is more
honored in the breach than in the
observance. It is in most places more
of q theory than a fact. We need
the Wagner bill to make it q fact
and not theory.
The N. r. A. is supposed to do
away with sweat shops-yet sweat
shops have returned to Pennsylvania
they are fiourishing today on the
same old stands-we find them in the
same factories where we found them
a year ago-the only difference being
that the factories are now adorned
with Blue Eagle"
"Wholesale Violation"
There Is wholesale violation of all
those clauses that protect the worker
under the N. r. A.-and the ma
chinery of enforcement, so far as cor
recting this, is largely a dead letter.
Unless the Wagner bill can strengthen
the hands of the workers, under the
present policy at least, We cannot ex-
pect any change.
Confident that Gen. johnson will
not lift a finger to Interfere, big
business has gone deliberately and
Systematically to work, without SUBJ
terfuge, out in the open, shamelessly,
to defy the Government and to stamp
out organization of the workers at
any cost.
In certain instances they have
gone so far as to shoot down their
workers with machine guns"
Workers Choice.
At another point she said:
If the N. r. A. had been admin
iStered according to the intent of
Congress there would probably have
been less need for this legislation.
''As a matter of fact. if we're a
union worker and had to choose be-
tween the passage of the Wagner bill
and a national recovery administra-
tor who was on the level should let
the Wagner bill go and take q new
deal in the administration Of the
N. r. A.
Look at the Petroleum Board.
Because It's administration is largely
in the hands Of Harold Ickes, who
wants to see the law administered
equally to ALL the scandals that
blacken the administration Of the
N. r. A. are absent in the adminis-
tration Of the Petroleum Board"
