GEN. JOHNSON
 USES PARALLELS

New York, June 10.-(UP).- Gen. Hugh s. Johnson, speaking in parables, today likened the de- struction of the MIRA to the polit- ical. "tory" movement that safe- guarded the ancient Mosaic laws. 1900 years ago, from attacks by Jesus Christ and the prophets of re- form.
 Two thousand year have slipped into eternity" he said, "and an- other constitution is in question. There is no element of sectarian re- ligion here, but the parallel is almost perfect except for the ap- peararce of any martyred master.
 "A great national issue" he told the luncheon of the Central Mer- cantile association, ''is growing un- der our eyes. It was raised by the destruction of MIRA and the threat to the whole new deal which its enemies read into the opinion of the supreme court. It will be the principal question in the next elec- tion.
 ''I can't read into the language of the actual decision any such conclusion as that when congress shall find as a fact that the com n.erce of the United States is ac- tually and materially threatened. burdened. diminished or hurt by something that is done within the borders of a single state, the con- gross can't move in and say: That thing has got to stop"

McMahon of the United Textile Workers of America announced today. McMa- hon said an emergency meeting had been called between the national executive board of the UTWA and the executive board of the woolen and worsted division of the union for an exhaustive survey of the woolen and worsted industry. The meeting will be held in New York Wednesday. At that time a date will be set for presentation of the wage increase demand to every wooden and worsted mill in the country, according to McMahon.
 The present conditions of the wooden and worsted industry are such that an increase is due to workers" McMahon said. "These workers have been very patient, while woolen and worsted manu- lecturers throughout the country have not been putting their house in order but were more interested in making considerable profit at the expense of the operatives.
 For this reason the union Is wholeheartedly with the woolen and worsted division in its demand for a 20 per cent increase"
 Mills affected by the action of the UTWA would include those in New England, New Jersey, New York, the south and middle west, according to McMahon.
 He conferred today with Vice President Horace A. Riviere of the UTWA, who at meeting of textile workers at Maynard, Mass, yes- terday advised strike in every mill that attempts to increase hours, reduce wages or introduce the third shift"
