the bonds were given the principally

GENERAL JOHNSON has mapped
~ out new alignment of code au-
thorities in order to provide more
effective representation of consum-
ers' interests. His plan is to place
on every code authority one MIRA rep
resentative selected by the admins
traitor. This representative will be
assisted by two advisors" one drawn
from the ranks Of labor, and nominat-
ed by the labor advisory board of
MIRA, and the other to be nominated
by the consumers advisory board.
An important part of Johnsois an
nouncement was that he proposes to
give the MIRA representatives ON each
code authority a veto power over any
of the actions the authority may elect
to take.
In other words, in the "self gov
ernment'' of each industry, which the
general has often discussed as his
aim, code authority may decide to
take some step with respect to prices,
or production, or wages. If it suits
the NRA representative, it will be
put into effect; otherwise he can veto
the action.
The administrator also announced
the appointment of Leon Henderson
of the Russell Sage foundation, New
York. and S. ]. Schlink, director
of the Consumers Research bureau, as
special assistants in the consumers
division of the MIRA. He empha-
sized that Mrs. Mary Rumsey, society
woman who heads the consumers adj
visory board, would retain her pres
ent post. ~

ful candidates were hand-picked, and
so were those who were defeated, all
being company men," Members Of
the workers union, the Amalgamated
Association Of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers, did not appear on the bal
lots. Union representatives charged
that workers were threatened with
loss Of their jobs If they didn't vote,
and said many of the men deliber-
ately spoiled their ballots.
There were ugly threats that If the
government did not act the workers
would begin to take things apart"
"We are putting our faith In Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the NRA." said
one of the union leaders. They've
promised to see this case through.
Well, if they don't then Wen be
forced to take things into our own
hands. Because we're going to win
this fight"
Thomas E. MiIlsop, assistant to
President Williams said the only way
the government would be allowed to
enter the matter was on the strength
OF court order.
I'VE are for the NRA," he said,
"but there are some parts of the re-
covery law which frankly we do not
like. It's no secret that Weirton Steel
is opposed to closed shop, which is
what the labor provisions of the act
mean. Nor is it any secret that we do
not intend to recognize the Amalga-
mated"
He still insisted that the company
union" was not company union at
all but an association of employees
representatives chosen by free and
untrammeled ballot by the workers
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, NRA admin
istrator, refused to comment on pub
lished reports that President William
Green of the American Federation Of
Labor will demand a clear cut state
ment from the recovery administra-
tion and the national labor board out
having company financed unions.
Green said that on September 20
he had filed many affidavits with the
recovery authorities charging that
corporations in every section of the
country were violating the MIRA labor
provision by company union activi-
ties. He charged no action had been
taken against these corporations.

For two weeks he hovered near
death. When he finally recovered he
told a weird tale.

the boat with its tail, BARLEY said
he heard a rumbling sound like q

imagined the noise was caused by the
whale pounding the sea. In the dark

Heat Was Terrific.
Each time he tried to crawl for
ward in the black chamber some in
visible force seemed to draw him
back. Then his terrible plight dawned
upon him. He was inside the body

Weak from the strain and the heat,
he sank into oblivion. Death seemed
dreadfully near He collapsed and

CAPT. DOLAN TELLS.
PRIZE WHALE TALE.
Describes How Fisherman
Lived After Being SWaI-
lowed by Monster.

With the arrival of Capt. Mike
Dolan's 1OO-foot exhibit Of the NAM
moth whale Colossus" to be shown
at Fourteenth and Water streets from
October | to October IA, comes the
revival of one of the most remark
able fish stories ever told. 1t is
the story of how James BARLEY, an
Alaskan whaler, was swallowed by
a whale and lived to tell the taie!
BARLEY proved to the world that the
biblical story of Jonah was more than
a possibility, says Capt. Dolan, who
vouched for the story, which he re-
lates as follows:
"The Star of the East, whaling
ship owned by the Alaskan Packing
Co. was whaling in sight of Penn
broke Light, Port Stanley, Falkland
Islands. in February, 1891. Whales
were sighted just as the sun broke
over the eastern horizon. Two boats,
fully manned, made for the nearest
whale, a big bull, who sensed the
danger Of the approaching men. A
second boat was lowered from the
ship and raced reckleSSly to where
the giant bull whale was floating on
the surface.
Scattered Men and Boats.
"The boat crew arriving on the
scene first was too anxious to get
their harpoon home before the other
boat arrived. The great whale lay
idle until the boat drew alongside.
Then, with a flip of his great TAIL
he scattered the men and boats like
chaff over the surface of the sea.
After the whale had dived fathoms
below the surface the boats picked up
all but two of their crew.
Later, two other boats saw the
same whale, and the harpoon shooter
managed to capture the mammal.
Just before sunset the whale was
drawn alongside the boat and the

return to the gold standard Is ex-
pressed by the Federal Reserve Ad-

The statement, addressed to mem

At the same time the statement ex-
