Codes Accepted by Four of Six Big Industries
Washington Aug. 1 AP Qualified acceptance of a code for the oil industry was presented to Hugh S Johnson recovery administrator tonight by advertisers of federal price fixing clearing the way for the trade plan to go immediately to the White House for President Roosevelt. An independent special under Jack Blalock of Marshal Texas refused to accept code believing it gave government power to regulate oil production across state lines. Major group companies opposed to price fixing advised Johnson they would accept the code as is. Final conference in Johnsons office ended with plans to send a letter of transmittal to Roosevelt. The lumber code signed before dusk. Roosevelt expected to sign the petrolea agreement and an executive order placing the steel code in effect after the dramatic night conference. Four of six key industries will be incorporated in the recovery program with fixed minimum wages and shorter hours, as the administration shifts pressure to coal. Johnson warned coal operators they will have a code written for them if they fail to agree. The automobile industry hearing yesterday suggests it will be pushed through NRA machinery as soon as possible.
