scribe to the code presented by oth
ers of the industry, Johnson said:
"It "Is a matter of regret that the
industry as represented here doos
not include 100 per cent of automo
bile manufacturers; because, certain
it is, that in the administration of
this law nnd the distribution of the
Blue Eii4i, no exception can be
made in favor of any manufacturer
whether his output bo great or small.
"We shall execute tins, law lis we
find it, .without fear and without
favor,"
In addition to the absence of Forf
from the list of manufacturers sup
porting the code, Interest in the hear
ing centered upon its labor provisions
declaring In favor of the open shop.
The code provides wages of 40 to
43 cents per hour for factory work
ers, depending upon the population
of the city In which they work. Mail-
mom hours are stipulated as 8 in,
any one week with the average not
to exceed 85.
After setting forth that employes
shall have the right to organise and
bargain collectively through repres
entatives chosen by themselves with
out Interference or coercion, the code
snys: 'x
"Under the foregoing provisions,
the. employera in the industry may
continue the open shop policy under
which the selection, retention and da-
' vnncement of employes will be on the
basis of individual merit without re
gard to their affiliation or non-nffili-
ntlon with any labor or other organ
isation." Donald Rlchberg, counsel to the
recovery administration, urged the
elimination of the "open shop" ref
erence from the code, saying it "may
be easily construed as the declnratipn
of a policy of refusing to comnly
with the law."
He said the explanation by the man
ufacturers gave assurance-that auch
was not the case, but he felt It might
not be so interpreted generally. He
aaid Johnson thought it quite "proper"
for the manufacturer to assert a pol
icy of retaining and advancing em
ployes on a basis of Individual merit
regardless of union affiliation, but
that the "open ehop" clause should
go ont.
He explained the national recovery
law stipulatea all codes -must contain
provision for collective baraainlnir
without interference by the employer
and said thaat "no power Is given to
approve a code with any attempted
modification of the law."

Trust Co., the impending closing of

for the declaration of Michigan's
banking holiday Feb. 14, had "jock
eyed the children's fund of Michigan
out of $200,000," and asked Prosecu
tor Harry S. Toy to Investigate with
a view to criminal proceedings. The
children's fund, established in 1028
by tile senator, has an endowment of
$10,000,000. the Income of which is
td be spent solely for crippled chil
dren of the state.
Conduct Held Criminal
The trust company, ssid the sena
tor, sold the fund $300,000 worth ot
"participation certificates" based on
real estate mortgages, but pleaded a
temporary stringency of funds when
psyment became due and asked the
fund management to take "certifi
cates of deposit" Instead.
He said the certificates had no col
lateral security behind them, and only
$100,000 was caxhed by the fund. The
remainder, he said, wns not obtained
before the trust company closed and
he said he counted the $200,000 "as
practically a total loss." ?
"Why," exclaimed the senator, "the
Union Guardian Trust Co. accepted
deposits for 20 days, after its officials
knew it wns insolvent. It is my under
standing thnt that is a criminal of
fense." Turning to the First National Bonk,
