JOHNSON BANKS NRA HOPES ON INDUSTRY LOANS Employers Ready to Cut Hours and Enlarge Staffs If Aided Financially. By United Press WASHINGTON. March 15—The administration drive to spread employment by reducing hours and Increasing wages is gaining momentum slowly to turn doubts to hope in some pessimistic quarters. Industry still balks at the bald 10 per cent hour reduction and 10 per cent wage boost proposed last week by Recovery Administrator Hugh S. Johnosn. But there are symptoms ol compromise. Treasury and federal reserve Cos toward creation of a na-tion-wide system of intermediate credit banks is to meet industry's demand for help. Before Mr. Johnson made his wage-hours proposal last week the NRA code authorities conference resounded with the crimes of credit-starved small industrialists. The three, four or five-year credits contemplated through an intermediate credit bank system would largely meet that situation. The banks have more than ample funds to discount short term paper up to six months. Long term credit— i obtained by bond issues—is still an- ! other phase of the problem, but momentarily a less urgent one. Credit Loans Mean Jobs ■ If credit is forthcoming under federal pressure, at least that portion of industry aided directly would have a somewhat different attitude toward wage boosts and hours reductions. Governor Eugene Black of the federal reserve board estimates that between 500,000 and 1,000.000 jobs would be created by Intermediate credit expansion as now contemplated. It is expected that the .plan will share responsibility between the commercial banks and the government in such a way that the facilities of the latter and some portion of their assets will be utilized in conjunction with credit underwritten by the government. In addition to this channel of credit aid. the Reconstruction Finance Corporation Is proceeding with its plan for loans to mortgage companies which would absorb assets of needy industries. Auto Industries Lining Up Concrete results of Mr. Johnson’s wage-hours plan are few, but promising. The National Automobile Chamber of Commerce has asked member firms to reduce hours to thirtysix a week, effective March 31. and increase hourly wage scales comensurately. Acceptance of the recommendation would affect 186,000 workers. Thousands of Ford Motor Company employes are earning $5 a day today compared with $4 and $4.40 yesterday. That still is $1 a day short of the boom time basic wage of $6 a day. Mr Ford did not reduce hours. The Schenely Products Company, distillers, estimate jobs have been provided for 1.000 persons by adopting the Johnson program without modification. The refractories industry. producers of clay, advised NRA the 1 per cent wage increase and proportional hours reduction had provided work for 2,000 more persons in that industry. Adherence of the packaging machinery industry to the plan also has been formally reported to NRA headquarters with the information that the canning and packing machine industry probably come in. MOTORISTS WARNED TO OBSERVE R. R. SIGNALS Drivers Reported Passing Vermont and New l'ork Crossing. Motorists were warned yesterday by Police Chief Mike Morrissey to observe flasher signals at the Big Four-Monon-Nickel plate raihcad crossing at New York and Vermont streets. He said reports have been received that drivers pass the intersections without halting for the signals which warn of approaching trains. BISHOP TO SPEAK HERE Washington (D. C.)
