 COPresnOmClent

Washington, Feb 27--Investigat- ing senators will discover at least one thing to cheer about when they scrutinize NRA.
 Thousands of chiselers are being scared who never were scared be- fore. MIRA has been making big stab at enforcement, without say ing anything about 1t, because ii hoped to. be able to brag after a record was achieved, rather than beforehand.
 Almost from the beginning. the most common complaint against NRA has been it's failure in code enforcement, especially on sthe wage and hour provisions. The complaint came not so much from labor as from thousands of busi- ness men operating in the sec ondary corporate strata of con- cerns worth $5,000,00O or less.
 General Johnson's old MIRA as- scciates think his failure to enforce had more than anything else to do with his enforced retirement. Lit tie business big business became bitter against him.
 It was hard to observe code la Dor provisions and still compete with code violators.

ROsenblatt Cracks Down

In one recent week about 300 MIRA cases, mostly involving labor were thrown into the courts of New York state alone. That resulted from the policy of Sol A. Rosen- olatt, the rather dynamic new MIRA compliance director. Rosenblatt will have an impress sive lineup of similar figures to show to congress.
 The number of wage restitutions from code Wolators has increased more than 100 per cent. Rosenblatt has gone back to the old NRA principle that you can get nearly everybody in an industry to obey the code if you can assure all hands that enforcement will be uni versal.
 Recently, on the, basis of one complaint, he sent 8 group of il- vestigators into a certain industry in New York, found numerous vio- lators, and by threat of action brought the whole industry into line.
 He finds many employers who don't understand code provisions and think they're complying when they're not.

Chiselers Feel Teeth

Instead of carefully selecting cases for prosecution, Rosenblatt decided to throw them into court as fast as they were found to war rant it.
 That course has deterrent ef- feet on chiselers and if cases arg thrown out again by the judges, MIRA can profit by the experience.
 It's too early to judge the full effect of the Rosenblatt drive. Be- ginning in December, it was first necessary to organize nine region- al compliance councils with a legal staff at each one and to bundle 17,000 complaitns filed here back to those councils.
 Before long, Rosenblatt hopes to be able to average mere 10 days between the time complaint is re- ccived and the time it's prosecuted in case 1t can't be adjusted.
