WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—(AP)—The way was clear-
ed today for big employers of labor under contract to join
the country-wide NRA program without altering existing
wage and hour terms. While Hugh S. Johnson, as head
of the recovery administration, continued efforts to bring
peace to the coal strike territory of western Pennsylvania,
Donald Richberg—his general counsel—issued an inter-
pretation of President Roosevelt’s voluntary agreement un-
der which contracts reached by collective bargaining and
which specify a definite number of hours employment per
week, may be maintained unimpaired. ___________
