Show News Review of Current Events the World Over Johnson Bringing Basic Industries Into Line Under Codes Wants Banks Jedit ' " ... ' Caffery to Succeed Welles in Cuba. By EDWARD CODES for the oil, steel and lumber lum-ber industries, formulated In Washington after hot discussions nd with treat travail, were agreed to by the representatives represent-atives of the Industries Indus-tries and signed by President Roosevelt, Roose-velt, who thereupon retired to bis summer sum-mer borne at Hyde Park. N. V.. to complete com-plete his Interrupt: ed vacation. But General Johnson, Indefatigable In-defatigable NKA chief, had to continue con-tinue the battling. -v 9 Htnry Ford for there remained of the so-called basic Industries coal and automobles to be brought under the wing of the blue eagle. Despite the sometimes angry debates over main points of divergence, especially the open shop question, Johnson was certain the automobile code would be completed com-pleted within a few days. Donald IMchberg, NRA general counsel, asked that the open shop clause be eliminated because it left doubt as to whether the Industry accepted the collective bargaining provision. The motor car .manufacturers seemed disposed dis-posed to agree to this without surrendering sur-rendering the policy. Every one was anxious to learn what stand Henry Ford would take, but be maintained deep silence. Mr. Ford Is the only large automobile manufacturer who Is not member of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. Hitherto he has Insisted In-sisted on his right to bargain with Ma workers; without the-Intervention of unions. That be may alter this policy, voluntarily or otherwise, was indicated by dispatches from Edge-water, Edge-water, N. J., which said the employees em-ployees of the Ford assembling plant there were organizing nnder tbe auspices of the American Federation Fed-eration of Labor. In tbe past Mr. Ford has maintained the open shop by meeting or exceeding the demands de-mands of organized labor In pay and working conditions. It was thought possible he would adopt a similar coarse In the matter of the blue eagle code. Goal operators, according to Genera) Gen-era) Johnson, were all displaying a co-operatJve spirit that Insured an early agreement for the bituminous Industry, and tbe representatives of the miners appeared to accept compromises com-promises on the question In debate. DY LABOR day the oil code will go Into effect, and the Industry generally will support It although It does not completely satisfy the trade. To a very limited extent It provides for price fixing for gasoline. Standard Oil of Indiana did not wait for the effective date of the code, but put all Its refineries on code schedules of hours and wages. The part-time system was abandoned, resulting re-sulting to a 13 per cent Increase In the total wage payment and a corresponding corre-sponding Increase io tbe purchasing power of the refinery employees ss a group. Base rates of pay In the various refineries were established a prescribed pre-scribed by the code at follows : Whiting, Whit-ing, Ind., 82 cents an honr; Wood River, 111.. 62 cents; Sugar Creek. Mo., 48 cents; Neodosha. Kan.. 48 cents ; Casper, Wyo., 50 cents. These rates sre for common labor. Proportionate Pro-portionate adjustments were made la rates for skilled labor, . T1ETAIL dealers who gathered In Johnson's office for a hearing hear-ing on their code were warned by tbe administrator that the govern ment w o o 1 d not countenance unreasonable unrea-sonable price b creases and were tirged to resist such boosts from Jobbers who supply them with their goods. He said the national na-tional industrial recovery re-covery act would Increase In-crease p r 1 c e 8 to meet new costs Imposed Im-posed by complin nee wilh tl.e trade char rtr s- Mrs. Mary H. Rumsey ters, but Just because of this "there Is no reason to go way beyond rea . If you do this yon Just kill the goose that lays the golden egg. The house that we are trying to build will collapse like a house of cards." In enforcing compliance with the blue eagle provisions. Johnson asserted as-serted that there would be no violence, vio-lence, no man-hunting and no hoy cottlng. Hut, he said, the admlnls tratlon would move to uncover cheaters behind the blue eagle and then "we are going to move in nnd take the blue" eagle rlj4ht off their windows." Human nature being what It Is. there naturally are bits of complaints com-plaints of "chiseling" by persons and concerns that have received the blue eag!. These cvme most numerously to Mrs. Mary II. Knm soy. head of the committee that ts supposed to protect the consumer though Professor Oghurn says It - ' if C V rtr J w W. PICKARD Isn't doing It and to President William Green of the American Federation Fed-eration of Labor. Both of them have organized systems for watching watch-ing and catching the code evaders. Mr. Green baa Instructed all union men to keep an eye on things throughout the country and a report to him any suspected violation of codes; he then reports to General Johnson. In this way a closer scrutiny of code chlsclers than the government could institute Is made possible. Clothing manufacturers especially have been accused of evading their code, and strikes In that Industry resulted In both New York and Chicago, The former was soon settled by compromise. SOME time ago Administrator Johnson hinted that the banks were not doing their part In the recovery re-covery program, and he has now persuaded them to relax credit extension ex-tension conditions and thereby make money available In the channels of general commerce. To begin with, he conferred with members of the federal reserve board and Jesse Jones, chairman of the Reconstruction Reconstruc-tion Finance corporation, concern lag methods by which the bankers might be Induced to grant loans on classes of security which they have not been willing to accept "Bankers ought to resume the financing of ordinary commercial operations," op-erations," General Johnson said. "I have studied tbe figures on commercial commer-cial credit trends recently, and I do not think they Indicate much loosening up on the part of the bankers. "' "We are working on lhat now, but listen, the ordinary banker wants sound risks. Most of them got pretty badly burnt In past years, and we've got to establish some basis ba-sis for assuring them safety. "I don't believe yon can force extension ex-tension of credit by fiat The whole trouble In this country has been lack of confidence by aU classes of people, peo-ple, and we've got to do what we can to bring confidence Io business, In loans, and In tbe future back again." HAVING accomplished neatly and speedily' the Job for which be waa sent to Cuba, Sumner Welles will soon return to Washington to take mi lii again ms position 1 1 of assistant secre tary of state in charge of Latin-American Latin-American affairs.

Caffery Is from Louisiana, and the favor with which he Is looked upon by the administration la one of the thorns In the flesh of Senator Huey I,ong. His first Job In Havana has been to negotiate a new United States-Cuban commercial commer-cial treaty. President De Ops pedes of course hopes this will Include lower duties on Cuban sugar. -Settlement of tbe water front strike In Havana led tbe new president to believe Industrial peace would soon be re-established Most of the Machado supporters and porrlstas having been killed or captured except those who escaped es-caped from the Istand. the Cuban mobs let up In their bloody work. Their last grim performance In Ha tana was to steal and try to burn the body of Antonio Anlcart, former chief of police, who had committed suicide to avoid capture. Former President Mario Menocal, Ool. Carlos Mendleta. leader of the Nationalist party, and many others who had been driven to exile by Machado returned to Havana. GEORGE N. PEEK, administrator nf ttm nirrlciiltiipfll aiUnuimnnt act, put Into effect at six principal live stock markets what has been called the '"birth control" program of pigs, the object being the elimination elim-ination of about ft.000.000 anlnmls and the consequent raising of prices. In Onlc-ago, Omaha. Slotn City. St. Paul, Kansas City and St. Joseph, Mo., the emergency reilef administration began the purchasing purchas-ing of 4,(XK).(lK) pigs between 'J5 and 100 pounds In weight each anil l.OOO.(HX) brood sow a.
