are.
Collectors will keep their offices
open until midnight tomorrow. —

AUTO INDUSTRY
TAKES LEAD IN
RECOVERY MOVE
DETROIT. Mar. 14. (AT')—The
motor car Industry, ft lender in the
parade toward prosperity, has moved
to heed President Roosevelt's plea
for slashed hours and higher wage
rate*.
•It became tKe first of the vast in-
dustrial groups "to do so when the
national .automobile cliamher of '«jnrs"
merce^nnnhuWed lhst ' night that 'It
ha<l rec<)Hiin ended to Its member
firms that Jivtrnge weekly hours be
cut from 40 ~ t<v 36 with' "compen-
sating wage Increase^/
a few hours earlier -Henry Ford,
remarking that he wa*' "mighty glad"
to do*it, announced that he Haif re-
stored the $5 a day minimum
This is t|>e fagiijus wage which sutN
prised the nation wh«. it was . es-
tublished back in 1914. Forty-seven
thousand workers are affected, "•
If the N. A. C, C. recommenda-
tion Is carried out by all its mem-
ber firms, it will Affect more than
183,000 workers. Ford Is not a
member. ' His announcement did not
mention working hours-
The announcements came on the
eve of a national labor board con-
ference In Washington called to
settle labor disputes in the Industry
in Michigan.
The chamber coupled Its announce-
ment with a warning that its mem-
bers "do not intend to submit to be-
ing coerced extbi-Iegally."
"'It Is the position of the labor un-
ion organizers," the statement said,
"that If a majority of the employes,
of a plant choose to bargain through
union, labor officials or committees,
all employes in that plant must do
so. ...
"It Is the position of the employ-
era that each employe has the right
to bargain with his employer Indi-
vidually or1 through a representative
of his own choosing.
"It is the opinion of the, einployr
era that the law, section A7A of the
national recovery act, clearly sus-
tains that contention." r
