Objection to ldea JOHNSON LIKES IT Organized Labor Would Be Practically Barred From Control WASHINGTON.— (AP) —Busi ness sought Thursday to forestall objections which labor might have to a new plan for following tem ~Nrary NRA with a permanent set-up under which industry would govern its own affairs through a single unit and with a minimum of federal supervision. The idea behind the plan had the support of Hugh Johnson, re covery administrator, who told newspapermen: “It's a kind of goal to shoot at if we can reach it.” But the proposal, advanced by Gerard Swope in a meeting with some of the nation’s leading in dustrialists and then referred to a committee for study, made no ref erence to labor representation in the unit which would govern all business and industry through codes. Profited By NRA Labor, under the NRA, has ob tained representation on many boards and councils, and even an indirect voice in the boards ad ministering present codes. The re cest American Federation of La bor convention voted to seek greater representation. William Green, president of the Federation, was reported out of the city as Swope explaired the plan, but some of his friends said he was very likely to insist upen ‘worker participation in the pro posed new set-up. Swope's proposal, brieflv, would merge into an enl”.ged national chamber of cor.aerce all the trade associati- s for industries now op ~~ ,ang under codes. 4 board of appeals would act 2s supreme ar ‘hiter. The government woud, be represested on this. board through ‘preg_jde_’ntial appointees; labor not 'a,t all, unless one of the presiden tial appointees, whom Johnson said would have absolute veto power, were a worker representa tive. For;eseeing that there might be labor objections, Swope said in a statement: “There is nothing in my pro posal intended to supplant NRA or to set up any industrial self-dis cipline without governmental par ticipation or to omit the organiza tios of labor parallel with the ore ganization of industry.” . BRANNON WRITES ON OPENING BID Continues His Discussion On When to Open and When to Pass Editor's Note: This is the eighth of a series of twenty special articles written for The Banner-Herald by Robert M. Brannon, a distinguished writer and lecturer on the com mon sense of contract bridge. BY ROBERT M. BRANNON My pet aborination as you have no doubt discovered by this timel is the “wooden’” bridge player who nlays entirely according to' the book,.and fails to take into account the fact that bidding conventions are based necessarily on normal distribution, and that it is impos sible for any writer to anticipate and cover the multitude of excep tions wheih relate to 2Liiormal deals. All of which is just prelim inary to stating that in my treat ment of the opening bids of one in these articles, I shall make many departures from the straight and narrow paths as apply to many rules of common acceptance, and will endeavor to show in a general way when to fbllow the book and when to forget it. . As the determination of the opening bid, and the decision whether to open or pass, de pends at times on the state of the score, the position of the bidder, the type of the partner, the type of opponents, the choice between suit and No Trump, and the choice between two suits, as well as on the offensive or defensive hand pattern and high card alloca tion, as covered in my last arti cle, it will conserve your time and mine, if we discuss these several elements and the vary ing conditions, before | furnish the series .of example with which | hope to i:lustrate the common sense that applies to your decision whether to pass or to open; and also to your choice of denomination. The State of the Score. Obviously the state of the score, with a hand of minimum or near minimum content is an important consideration.

GOVERNORS ASK AID “Hé)liday" on S;e of Farm Products Continues in Mid-West States By ROY F. HENDRICKSON Associated Press Staff Writer. WASHINGTON.— (AP) — The pre-war purchasing power for the American farmer—the goal of the Farm Adjustment act—Thursday was further away from mathemat ieal realization than on May 15, three days after the act became law. | A dozen major programs had 'been launched by the Farm Ad justment = administration. Many, true, were still far from| the stage where their creators look for fruit; but the buying power of )'the average unit of produce plant ed, cuitivated and harvested by the farmer had lost rather than gained in potency. Statistics compiled by the bu reau of agricultural economics, made public Thursday, showed that the farmer’s purchasing pow er on May 15 was 61 percent of the pre-war prriod, 1909 to 1914, but that for the week, October 11 tc October 18, the last surveyed, hi» purchasing power was 59 per cent of pre-war. It wasn’t that farm prices had declined. They moved up fast, bulged, receded, but still were above the May 15 level from Oecto ber 11 to 18. The slump in the farmer's buying power was more largely accounted for by the in crease in the average prices paid for dozens of articles which he needed for his family and to carry on his business. In the national capital Thursday five middle-western governors, re porting their farmers “in a strik ing mood, discontented and impa tient,” made ready to put their in flation, price-fixing, licemsing plan before Presigent Roosevelt. : Goverrors Herring of Towa, Ber ry of South Dakota, Langler of North Dakota, Olson of Minnesota, and Schmedeman of Wisconsin, were designated to see the Presi dent. : ; Seek Price-Fixing ¥resh from a governor's con ference at Des Moines, they sought immediate - price-fixing for the principal commodities produced in their states, an ‘“NRA- code for farmers” under which farmers, processors and distributors would be #icensed, and direct inflation.

Officials have have indicated the privileges probaby would be ex tended but that this action. was not a certainty because of the le gal question involved.

Government cotton on which they ‘have a eall would figure in the ‘tranucttuns. Should the staple fail to rise* to 10 cents, the government will take the loss.
