Opposition in Congress | Scouted by Officials—Board Changes Loom. By the Associated Press. | Hugh S. Johnson today told news men that if necessary he would im- pose N. R.

He had received from the American | Telephone & Telegraph Co. a communi- cation objecting to coming under a code at all grounds the company is | mon-competitive. = | In response to questions at a press conference, the N. R. A. aaministra- | tor said the Aluminum Co. of America was refusing to accept a code with fair trade practice provisions. Since this company controls 98 per cent of the business in this country and the law requires tnat a substantial proportion of any industry is needed to propose a code, Johnson said he did ot see how one was to be arrived at voluntarily containing the fair trade practices demanded by independent aluminum concerns, forming 2 per cent ©of the industry. He said, however, that he was pre- | pared to impose, if necessary, a code Eacriblnz wages, hours and other bor conditions for this industry and the telephone business as well. Telling of the letter he has received from Walter S. Gifford, president of the A. T. & T., saying his concern did not want to come under a code because it was non-competitive, Gen. Johnson | “I don’t want to impose any code, | except on labor provisions, wages and | hours, but if I have to on that, I will.” | The Bell System, operating subsidi- | ary of A T. & T. has submitted | a code to N.

N. R. A has not taken a stand publicly, but the independent aluminum manufacturers have been insisting that the code contain a clause requiring the Aluminum Co. to establish an equal published price for sales of ingot metal to themselves and to its own manufac- turing subsidiaries, so that the in- dependents may compete on an equal This clause Aluminum Co. spokesmen have definitely refused. Pending against the concern is a suit for triple damages, totaling $9,000,000, brought under the anti-trust laws by the Bausch Machine & Tool Co. in a Federal court in New | England. Some N. R. A. officials have suggest- ed that if the provision demanded by the independents is accepted by the Alumium Co, there might be an| attempt made to use this as a conces- sion of monopolistic practices. Fight Rushed Elsewhere. The same independents have been seeking active steps from the Depart- ment of Justice against the Aluminum Co. and recently obtained from the Navy a 30-day postponement in the opening of bids for nearly 2,000,000 pounds of aluminum, which is to go into construction of new ships ‘Their contention was that at pres- ent no independent can bid competi- tively with the Mellon concern, but that inclusion 'of their proposal in a code would put them on an equal basis. The independents have been trying to prevent adoption of a strictly labor code, as suggested today by Johnson, while the Aluminum Co.’s spokesman themselves first suggested it. The N. R.

BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. President Roosevelt is expected to answer critics of his monetary policy and of some of his other recovery moves and experiments next Wednesday night. This is the impression of those who have been in touch with him in Warm Springs recently. On this occasion he will address the silver anniversary meet- ing of the Federal Council of Churthes of Christ in America in Constitution Hall. It is understood the President already has begun writing this address and probably will have it ready when he re- turns to Washington from Warm Springs next Monday afternoon. Mr. Rooser his speech at 10 p.m. and arrangements have been made to broadcast it from coast to coast over the two major broad- casting systems. Silence to Be Broken, Since a bombardment of the monetary policy began two weeks ago, President Roosevelt has maintained a marked si- lence, with the exception of a few | good-natured references in an informal talk he gave yesterday at the Thanks- giving Foundérs' day dinner at Warm Springs_in which he, by innuendo, rapped the foes of his policies. ‘Wednesday night, however, his friends U. 5.

Failed to Sign. Six counts charged violation of max- imum hour provisions of the code and three charged misleading price adver- tising. Lind and ‘Levine, when first indicted, maintained they were not bound by the | code, contending they had not signed it.

DIRECTOR SAYS INDUSTRY TO PROTECT DRY STATES Importations With Quota Based on 1910-1914 Averages to Be Per- mitted for Four Months: By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, December 1.—A policy of self-rule for the liquor industry to as great an extent as possible was voiced today by Joseph H. Choate, jr, new director of the Federal Alcohol Gontrol Administration. In his first interview since his ap- pointment Wednesday by President Roosevelt, Choate declared the alcohol administration would cause a minimum of interference in establishment and operation of the post-repeal liquor in- dustry. The new liquor “czar” said he did not expect anything in the way of a repeal celebration “explosion,” and ex- pressed the opinion that return of liquor would result in a “considerable reform in the drinking habits of the people.” Choate, seated in his Wall Street law office, smiled broadly at a barrage of technical questions fired at him by newspaper men.

The new upward movement came at | a time when the dollar and Govem-; ment bonds had shown strength, de- spite the recent rapid rise in Recon- struction Finance Corporation quota- tions. 3 The disclosure that the Government | had used only a fraction of its gold- |buying fund during more than a | month's ~operations was accompanied | by a vigorous new demand from Sena- tor Borah, Republican, of Idaho, for remonetization of silver. | The American Federation of Labor added another element to the situation | with statements in its monthly review |of business that “uncertainty over the dollar’s future and fear of fiat money retard business advance” and that “the President’s method of devaluing the dol- | iar by stating the gold price daily dif- | fers greatly from inflation by fiat money.” B The federation also found that “the | beginning of improvement” in the basic construction, steel and lumber indus- tries “brightens the horizon.” Senator Borah, who replied recently to_critics of President Roosevelt’s gold policy, sponsored the latest demand of |the sfiver bloc in a letter to James P.

Warburg has favored a return to a ‘modernized gold standard. “Leaving aside all questions as to the proper use to be made of silver in the monetary systems of the world,” Borah said, “it seems prefectly evident that no monetary system can in the future be considered sound and efficient which does not restore to millions of le the money which they have used r_3.000 years, which thsy desire to (Continued on Page 2, Column 8.)

The committee, made up of the same Senators who are investigating stock market practices, concluded that the loans to the Bankers' Mortgage Co., the Midland Mortgage Co. and the South- western Investment Co., all in Jones' home State of Texas, were justified, adequately secured and Jones “had no personal interest in any of them.” Made Public Conclusions.
