went into effect We made a number
Of changes. but now that they are
strapped I see reason for little if
any deviation from our present
practices. I agree with the Supreme
Court ruling.
Charles A. Young Manager. In
dianapohs Bleaching Cove can
be fair without the code. While We
stuck to NRA regulations religiously.
always felt that the codes were
weak in many spots and needed
much revamping and reconstruction.
l see no reason to make any changes
in our plant operations because of
the ruling"
Eli Lilly president. Eli Lilly q
Co: Labor conditions in our plant
always have been more progressive
than demanded by the code and we
shall continue to operate on the
same basis. We adopted a 4O-hour
week 90 DAYS before the enactment
of MIRA and we consistently have
paid our employees on a higher wage
scale than the code demanded. We
certainly shall continue our police
of improving the condition of our
employees at all times
Joseph E. Cain. vice president of
the P. R. Mallory Co, Inc, manu-
facturers Of electrical equipment:
i am very glad to have the in
formation. but the decision will not
affect our employment status in the
least. We shall continue to employ
as many persons without the code
as we have in the past with NRA
in operation"
GlOSsbrenner Lauds Move
Alfred GloSsbrenner, president OF
the Levy Printing Co.: L always
thought that the NRA was uncon-
stitutional. raver felt it would
succeed any more than prohibition.
In my opinion the decision will do
much to stimulate business and re-
store confidence. We made very
few changes to come under the code
and our future policy will be gov
erned by conditions"
William j. Mooney, president of
Mooney Mueller WARD Co.: we
believed in NRA and hope we can
continue under the same conditions,
code or no code.
Frederick E. MatsOn. prominent
indianapolis attorney: Those who
have been fearful that constitu-
tional government was about to be
swept away in this country may rest
easier now The Supreme Court
again. AS in every crisis. has dis
closed that it is not afraid, and that
it still realizes the high purpose of
its existence. 1t was established
to maintain the structure under
which America for $50 years has
given more liberty and personal well
fare to the people than any other
country in the world. No threats
have disturbed it, no UtopiaS have
destroyed its perspective. no sophis-
try has led it far astray. In years
from now after the nightmare Of
this depression has passed away. we
shall better understand how vital TO
Cur civilization has been the bulwark
o. this court. The significance OF
these decisions is not for today, but
for history
Revival Due. Says Borinstein
Louis J. Borinstein, Indianapolis
Chamber Of Commerce president:
1t has been generally admitted Ter
long time that the lack of conf
dence, growing out of uncertainty
over government policies. was plac-
ing a brake upon the natural trend
toward recovery. The MIRA and
other decisions would seem to re-
move the fundamental uncertainty
and strengthen the foundations of |
confidence. The vigorous tone of |.
the courts decision, and the fact /
the court was unanimous, would |
seem to offer assurance that bust
ness will not further be burdened by |
a host of untried plans Perhaps |
there will be a, great deal of confu- /
sion at first from the NRA decision. |
1t shouldn't be long before business /
generally will know definitely what /
the results of the decision will be. /
With fundamental issues definitely /
settled business ought to acquire
There should be a re-
vival of individual initiative and We
should go forward more rapidly
John B. Stokley vice president Of |
Stokley Bros. & Co.: while there
may be some confusion for the time
being, I feel that in view of the
previous doubt as to the constitu-
tionality of NRA. the decision will /
serve to clarity the situation"
