S. Ambassador Sumner Welles, Dr. Grau San Martin said that the talk was “most cordial” and that it had resulted in reaffirmation of the “good | feeling between the aot —— and their peoples.” He rec- ognized Welles’ “high motives toward Cuba.” The purpose of the present regime, Dr. Grau San Martin continued, ts; “to lead the country non-politically ‘until the constitutional assembly has been held, after which all political tendencies can express themselves.” He voiced the belief that this task could be carried out in less than a year, possibly in six months.

Johnson expected to present the long-disputed bituminous coal char- ter to the president during the day, but the administrator could not set the hour. e rates for Alabama and Kentucky, which the president would fix under the code accepted by the industry Saturday night, still were being studied. Once he receives the code, Roose- velt’s signature was looked for almost immediately. He has kept in close touch with its formation. Promulga- tion Monday would make it effective Oct. 2. Before Johnson and his counsel, Donald Richberg, were a host of le- gal arguments on the proposed retail trade code provision for maintain- ing minimum retail prices at 10 per cent above wholesale costs. Both regarded this charter, which reaches hundreds of thousands of employes and touches the consumer directly, as of major importance. In- volved with prices, too, was the need of getting the many retail stores now unorganized into trade associations or pauline agencies for code administra- tion. In seguisticns issued to local com- Pliance boards, Johnson set a stand- ard of “friendly aid rather than the iron fist” for their guidance in en- forcing blue eagle agreements. NRA’s national labor board mean- | while reported the settlement of 19 labor disputes in the last three weeks and said they involved nearly 400 firms. The code Monday faced @ new threat from organized labor which held possibilities of reopening ths |controversy and delaying final prom. ulgation of the charter by President Roosevelt. A meeting of the labor advisory board of NRA was called for late Monday to give formal consideration to the code. There were strong indications it would register opposition not only to the interpretation of the collective bargaining provision but also to a number of the wage scales. John L, Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, and William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, have asked such a stand from the board, which is headed by Dr. Leo Wolman, and includes selected spokesmen for labor. The industrial advisory board, which speaks for business, approved the code.
