PRICE FIVE CENTS NRA CHIEF UPHOLDS INDIVIDUAL’S RIGHT TO MAKE DECISION: 30 Cents An Hour Minimum Wage for Work-Relief Abandoned by FERA FIRST FORD CAR BOUGHT Richberg Hits ‘Majority Rule’ Decision of National La- bor Board Washington, Nov. 22.—(7)—Further evidence that the New Deal sails are gradually being trimmed was had Thursday from two directions. 1. The 30'cents an hour minimum wage for work-relief was abandoned by FERA. 2. For the first. time since the NRA Blue Eagle soared aloft, the govern- ment purchased a Henry Ford prod- uct. With fundamental revision of NRA being talked officially, and the admin- istration policy toward labor and so- cial legislation being watched ever the more closely, these developments attracted unusual notice in the cap- ital. Harry L. Hopkins’ abandonment of his minimum wage ideas recalled southern protests against this aspect of CWA last winter. Especially in the south was this policy considered a trouble maker. Localities Decide Wage The future work-relief wage cri- terion will be the rates prevailing ir the community affected. Local com- munities already functioning will de- termine the proper wage. Past orders have been rescinded. The Interior Department awarded contract for one truck to the North- west Motor Co, of Bethesda, Md., the firm about which the tempest over whether the government could buy Ford products raged months ago. It was held then that no Ford car could be bought unless the Ford Company signed a certificate of com- Pliance with the automobile code, whieh it did not do. Now, apparently, this federal posi- tion has been modified to consider the signing of a certificate by the mid- dleman sufficient. .

Moodie made the gnnouncement after conferring with officials of the relief and farm administrations. He said he had been assured North De- kota would benefit to the extent of a good share of the purchases. The government already has bought more than 8,000,000 cattle in areas where feed shortages exist and Secre- tary Wallace said recently it prob- ably would be necessary to extend the program. Moodie said he had discussed the feed situation and learned the gov- consideration, including his own, as|¢tmment was anxious to cooperate in seeing that farmers of his state were supplied with forage for the winter. He said the feed situation was “very bad” in North Dakota and was 80 recognized by the administration. Moodie discussed with Harry L. Hopkins, relief director, and Aubrey Williams, assistant director, plans for de-federalizing the administration of relief in North Dakota. He said Gov. Ole Olson would be placed in charge| Preparat of relief Dec. 1. The federal govern- ment took over the relief administra- tion upon removal of former Gov. Wm. Langer as state director. The governor-elect, who was ac- companied to Hopkins’ office by Sen- ator Nye (Rep. N. D.), said his first corcern upon office would be to see that those who needed food were given enough to eat. He intended, he said, to keep politics out of relief. “I want to see that people get something to eat and J don't care who gives it to them,” he said. Moodie said he would confer with Secretary Wallace Thursday on his state’s feed problem. He will leave Thursday for Chicago to attend a regional FERA conference Friday and Saturday at which Hopking will speak. 37 Road Contracts Will Be Let Friday Thirty-seven road contracts for con- struction in various counties will be Niet Friday by the state highway de- partment.

PLANS FOR RURAL SURVEY LAUNCHED Gillette to Head Survey De- termining Trend of Farm Relief in State Grand Forks., N. D., Nov. 22.—(#)— tions to launch North Da- Or. kota’s part of a nation-wide rural re- search to determine federal relief trends in farming districts were com- pleted when J. O. Babcock of Wash- ington, field research analyst of the FERA, conferred here Wednesday with Dr. J. M. Gillette, who will direct the project for this state. In North Dakote, Babcock an- nounced, the work will consist of a survey of relief activities in four counties. Babcock has supervision of the participation of 18 states in the r esearch, Following the conference, Dr. Gil- lette, head of the university sociology department and an authority on rural sociology, said the North Dakota sur- vey was scheduled to begin within a few days.

Only after he has associated himself voluntarily with such @ unit can he be bound by the will of the Majority, Richberg said. Many labor leaders and industrial- ists have understood the labor board’s ruling, given in the Houde case, as meaning that an organization winning ®% majority of votes in an election within @ group or plant shall repre- sent all employes for purposes of col- lective bargaining. Individual Has Rights “No one has been given any au thority under the law,” he said, “anc I doubt whether anyone could be giv- en legally the authority to herd ali the employes, or any number of em- ployes, into a voting unit and then to compel them to select their repre- sentatives by a majority vote. “The right of self-organization cer- tainly includes the right of each mar. to decide for himself with what man he desires to be associated. I submit that there would be serious question of the constitutionality of any law which sought to compel men to unite for the protection of their private in- terests with those with whom they were unwilling to associate. . . .” Declaring the labor board itself laid down no rule as to the proper unit for voting, he also said his in- terpretation was “entirely consistent” with the principles of the American Federation of Labor. “The theory of craft unionism,” he said, “calls for recognition of the right of men to associate .with their fellow workers as they please.” Although disagreeing with some interpretations of the Houde deci- sion, he called the decision itself “ab- solutely sound.” “If a vote is held,” he said. “in which men voluntarily participate for the purpose of selecting their repre- sentatives, then, unless those chosen by the majority are to be accepted as representing the entire electorate, there can be no orderly method of collective action.” Seen as Official View Though Richberg emphasized he voiced only his own views, his posi- tion lent much significance to his re- marks on one of the most complex controversies involving section 7-A of the recovery act. The whole act comes up for overhauling in the next congress, and observers wondered whether Richberg’s views pointed the future attitude of the administration.
