The idea behnd the plan had the Support of Hugh Johnson, recovery administrator. But the proposal, advanced by Gerard Swope in a meeting with some of the nation’s leading industrialists and ‘then referred to a committee for study, made no reference to labor rep- resentation in the unit which would govern all business and industry through codes. Labor, under the NRA, has obtained representation on many boards and councils and even an indirect voice in the boards administering present codes.
