AUTO INDUSTRY VIOLATES CODE, LABOR CHARGES Unions Dominated by Companies, Workers Tell NRA Committee. By United Press WASHINGTON, March 15.—The NRA, with the problem of fundadentai readjustment to the fore, today undertook action on three fronts to remove causes of conflict and carry out administrator Hugh S. Johnson's program. The troublesome question of collective bargaining was under | thorough examination at a hearing, before the national labor board ; concerning complaints of labor unions against the automobile indus- ; try. The newly organized national re- 1 covery review board started open hearings on the complaint of .small business men against situations evolving from NRA codification. The third step was appointment of a committee of twelve to represent retail and service trade industries in code modification negotiations. Auto Strike Threatened The hearing was called to avert a strike threatened by American Federation of Labor unions of automobile workers who claimed employers had refused their demands for union recognition, increased wages and improved working conditions. Labor representatives charged the companies were operating and dominating company unions in violation of the automobile code. The company unions had thirtyeight representatives present. These representatives lauded employers and declared satisfaction with the : company organizations. William Collins, A. F. of L. organizer, offered an eight-plank platform of labor demands, asking that the national labor board be permitted to hold elections in automobile factories, with company guarantee to deal with the majorities as shown. G. E. Monopoly Charged The little business man brought his troubles today to Clarence Dar- j row. who opened hearings on hun- | dreds of complaints, mostly sub- j nutted through congressional offices. The first case is a charge of i monopoly against General Electric Company, preferred by independent lamp makers. Complaints of small firms operating under the lumber code will be heard Monday. On March 22. complaints of independent rubber sundries manufacturers will be heard. Some cases involve patent monopoly charges. One complaint is from dressmakers, hatmakers, and textile manufacturers of Minneapolis, St. Paul and Kansas City, who claim paying New York City wages under their codes will ruin them. C onfectioners Consider C ode The action in naming the retail and service committee completed the formation of super-code groups to simplify NRA dealings especially in lowering hours and raising wages Seven thousand members of the wholesale confectionery industry meeting to consider a code for the industry, agreed to reduce the proposed basic work week from iorty hours to thirty-six in accord with the President's program, to provide additional employment. The proposed minimum weekly wage will remain at. sl6 for the re- ; duced work week, with a differential j giving southern manufacturers a sl4 ; minimum. , Road < nntracts Are Signed Road and bridge contracts total- j ing $564,753.82 were signed by the state highway commission yesterday j Projects include city street improvements in Mt. Vernon, Noblesville, Jasper and East Chicago.

100 LOSE LIVES IN BLAST; MANY | BLOWN TO BITS Cause of Explosion at La Libertad Is Sought by Authorities. | By United Press SAN SALVADOR. March 15. Officials sought vainly today the cause of an explosion so terrific that it killed 100 persons and was heard clearly for more than twenty-two miles. One hundred and fifty cases of dynamite, unloaded from a steamship, were being placed aboard a two-car freight train at La Libertad, twenty-two miles from here, when they were detonated. The warehouse at the docks, containing 15.000 bags of coffee, drums of oil and gasoline and 4,000 cases of assorted inflammables was blown to bits, as were all workmen in the vicinity. Barges were blown up or out to sea. Adjoining buildings caught fire, and before the blaze was put out four blocks of the port and resort town of 31.000 inhabitants were j burned. Buildings razed included the customs office, postoffice, tele- j graph office, the steamship office j and the principal hotel. President Hernandez Martinez j ! left for La Libertad at once. He j ordered out fire engines, Red and j White Cross nurses and public j health nurses and physicians. Forty j persons, seriously burned, were res- { cued from the explosion zone and brought to hospitals here. But for the time of the explo- I sion many more persons would j have been killed. Tire many spring j visitors were at the beaches for the afternoon. PRESS ASSOCIATION TO BE CODE AUTHORITY Hoosier Group to Set Up Machinery at Session Here.
