LABOR ‘ON HIND LEGS'; IRKED BY SNUB TO GREEN Adopt Aggressive Policy After Steel Men Walk Out on Leader. BY II O. THOMPSON I nllfd I'reaa Staff C orrfioondfnt WASHINGTON. Au* 16 .—Organized labor, roused by developments in the steel and coal company union fights, adopted an aggressive attitude today in the national recovery drive, determined to make its power felt throughout the scope of the NR A program. Labor leaders indicated they were displeased with the NR As recurring approval of forty-hour maximum work weeks in various industries permitted to come under the blue eagle with modified re-employment agreement. At the same time, it was learned that he recovery administration for a few hours Tuesday mght was threatened with a walk-out of three organized labor leaders from the labor board set-up. due to the con- < diet over refusal of steel industrialists to sit with President William Green of the American Federation of Labor Johnson Retracts The threatened break was healed when Recovery Administrator Hugh S Johnson retracted his statement that Green was not an NRA labor advisor. Green. Edward F McGrady and Leo Wolman were the three labor men who demanded a showdown on Green’s status Organized labor, it was indicated, tacitly would accept without formal opposition the spread of forty-hour work week NRA blanket, but was determined to wage a real drive for thirty to thirty-five-hour work weeks when hearings on permanent, codes begin. Coal, steel and lumber code conferences were in progress today as Johnson tried to whip into line disputing groups. He sat in at a preliminary conference on the automatic code. The developments served to emphasize brewing troubles in the NRA, such as came to a head Monday when Professor William F. Ogburn resigned from the consumers’ advisory board. The administrator also was preparing for opening hearings Friday on the code submitted by all major automobile manufacturers except Henry Ford. Ford Keeps Silent Ford, so far. has made no move to join the others supporting this rode or to come into the NRA program through the general re-em-plo.vment agreement. How about Ford?” Johnson was asked. "That’s a subject on which I could speak for half an hour," he replied. ' I feel about him just as 1 feel about any manufacturer who does not fly the Blue Eaglf*” The steel executives, including heads of United States Steel. Bethlehem and other leading companies, snubbed Oreon at the outset of a conference called by labor secretary Franris Perkins on wage and hour provisions of the code Green was there as an NRA labor advisor. The steel men took one look at him, whispered to Miss Perkins, and walked out. Tire meeting then proceeded in another room while Green remained outside. Thp labor federation president immediately reported the incident to the NRA labor advisory board, which sent Johnson a resolution condemning the attitude of the steel executives.

Scores of acres of forest land west of Chicago were beat over by officers in a frantic effort to capture the men. Factor, who was freed after pay- 1 ment of $50,000. had been maneuvering for the arrest of his abductors both through underworld connections and the police. Recently he received a demand for the additional $50,000. The abductors directed that the money be brought to an intersection near Western Springs, a suburb of Chicago. Cop Acts as Messenger Patrolman Frank McKenna, youthful appearing, donned a messenger boy’s uniform. He rode to the designated spot in a taxicab, which' Sergeant John Meyers was driving.! Meyers was armed with a machine gun. Police squads were sent to every intersection around. Lieutenants Barry and McNaughton, armed with a machine gun cruised overhead in an army plane. As McKenna and Meyers approached a barbecue stand, they j observed a small sedan following! them. Meyers, according to previous arranged plans, stepped out and started polishing the hood of his car. One kidnaper came from the j other car and opened a door of the cab. McKenna gave him the package. Plane Dives on Car Meyers waved his dust rag to the airplane. The plane immediately dove sharply over the gangsters’ car. Ttiis 'signaled waiting squad cars that the transfer had been made. l A second plane joined the chase. ! Seein gthat the kidnapers w-ould outdistance the slower taxicab. McKenna fired a volley from his ma- i chine gun. The plane dove down, i and sent a burst of shots at the fleeing gangsters. At Twenty-second street the gangsters ran into a blockade of police. In an in&ant, they twisted about and started retracing their course with squad cars in pursuit.

Armed with machine guns, hand grenades and tear gas bombs, two squads of federal agents, accompanied by police, set out today on their second major drive against kidnapers within twenty-four hours.
