".' Thirty-two states were repre

The general opinion of its advo

Roosevelt . Refuses to Give
Approval . to Bargaining 'J
Clause Clarification
- WASHINGTON, . Sept. 15. r
( AP) . The long-sought agree
ment upon a . bituminous coal
code apparently was near tonight
as Hugh S. Johnson, the NRA
administrator, announced appro
val of a charter had been ob
tained from the conference com
mittee of the operators and that
it had been submitted to a gen
eral meeting. -
The administrator called news
papermen to his office to make
the announcement Just 25 hours
after the adjournment of a White
House conference at which Presi
dent Roosevelt had given the dis
puting coal operators 24 hours
in which to reach an agreement.
Johnson, said he expected the
code to be ready for the presi
dent's signature tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Mr. Roosevelt had
placed his foot firmly . upon at
tempts to write a clarification
of the collective bargaining sec
tion of the recovery act. He de
clined, It became known, to make
public with his stamp of ap
proval a statement upon the la
bor provisions prepared by the
NRA industrial and labor' ad
visory committees . '
At a hotel conference the non
union operators were still at odds
with John L. Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers of
America . over union contracts.
Johnson insisted they remain at
work through the night Jo ob
tain an agreement.
Giving new stimulus to the re
covery campaign, Secretary Per
kins announced estimates that
750,000 workers returned -to Jobs
in the month ended August 15
and that payrolls In 89 of the
major manufacturing industries
increased 112,000,000.
The labor compromise, which
Mr. Roosevelt overthrew abrupt
ly, was t negotiated between the
labor and industrial advisory
boards In an effort to calm some
of the labor disturbances over
the country as employers and em
ployes gave different Interpreta
tions to the law's Intent.
A score or more of codes yet
to come before the recovery ad
ministration have incorporated In
them the so-called merit clause,
providing for hiring or discharge
of workers without regard to
union affiliation.

WHO
AGAINST BUS LAW
Want Entire Statute Held
Up Pending Decision
On its Validity
- . f .
The Truck Owners and Farm
ers Protective association late
yesterday filed a petition with
the state supreme eourt asking
that an Injunction be granted
against-the new truck and bus
taxing and licensing law pending
appeal of Circuit Judge Lewel-
lings recent decision to the high
court. Judge Lewelllng held
parts of the new law, enacted by
the last legislature, to be Invalid.
A. c. Anderson, ' association
president, explalnedlhar- slneo j
thestate had delayed In appealing
the case, his organisation had
taken the initiative to protect Its
members against an: attempt to
require their compliance with sec
tions of the law not questioned by
Judge Lewelllng when within a
few weeks the status Of these pro
visions might also be changed.
"Members of the i association
are welling to pay a reasonable
tax," Anderson averred, "but they
don't want to meet certain provi
sions of the new law now and la
ter find these changed also In
valid. Were we to comply before
the supreme court gives its deci
sion, it might only confuse the
situation all over the state. .
A tax based upon ton capacity
of each truck Is advocated4 by
the truck men, Anderson said,
adding that "we think such a tax
would make up the shortage, be
tween the old and new auto li
cense fees and at the same time
permit the little man to stay In
business."
In addition to fighting for what
they maintain Is a square deal for
truck operators and farmers, of
ficers of the association are work
ing i toward .. formulation of an
NBA code in each county of the
state to bring better" principles of
business and a more even rate
system, Anderson stated, n - -
... The association, according to
Anderson, now has between 8000

- While Salem high school -administrators
were compiling a list
of students not to be admitted
Monday because of alleged secret
society affiliation, unconflrmable
rumors were heard yesterday to
the effect that parents of the chil
dren to be Involved would force
the school board to prove that
these children belonged to Illegal
organizations. The parents in
question remained silent on the
subject, preferring to make the
school administration show its
hand.
Many of the 45 returning stu
dents who a year ago last spring
with their parents signed affida
vits denying secret society affili
ation declare they have not ren
eged on their promises In the af
