Detroit General Johnson presses auto code approval
General Hugh S. Johnson, national recovery administrator, arrived in Detroit in an army plane and urged rapid adoption of the automotive industry code drafted by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. A resolution backing wage increases on August 1 drew support, with Johnson stressing that more workers are needed. He recounted a prior Detroit visit with Henry Ford, who broadly supported the recovery plan. He cited open shop policy as a major hurdle, noting the collective bargaining provision does not alter employer employee relations substantially and may deter labor racketeering concerns.
