MEN TO AVOID
CONFERENCE
International News Service
A program of legislation em
bodying the basic principles of the
old NRA is the main objective of
some of the business groups who
will attend the Industrial Prog
ress Conference to be held here
December 10 and 11, a spokesman
for Major George L. Berry, indus
trial coordinator, said today.
Other subjects of principal in
terest to the attending groups,
Including little and big business,
are taxation, competition, unem
ployment, relief and the question
of Government competition.
The wholesale and retail organ
izations lead business groups in
stressing need for Federal legis
lation governing wages, hours,
working conditions and possibly
production control, according to
replies to some of the 3,700 in
vitations to the conference sent
out by Berry’s office.
No Definite Stand
Although they have not yet
taken a definite stand on revival
of any part of the NRA, invali
dated by the Supreme Court, rep
resentatives of the steel industry,
the railroads and large manufac
turers will sit in on the discus
sions. it was said.
Representatives of the Cotton
Textile Institute will stress upon
the meeting the “increasing com
petition from Japan,” and call for
revision of tariffs, and suggest
other regulatory measures to pro
tect the industry’s products.
The conference will be ad
dressed by various industrial, bus
iness and congressional leaders, in
cluding Edward Filene, Boston
merchant, and Senator Wheeler
(D.) of Montana, chairman of the
Interstate Commerce Committee,
and Representative Rayburn (D.)
of k Texas, chairman of the House
Interstate Commerce Committee.
Auto Men Absent
As plans went forward for the
conference it was announced at
Berry’s office that the Automobile
Manufactures Association will not
attend.
In a sharp letter to Berry from
Alfred Reeves, vice president of
the association, it was pointed out
that the automobile industry is
successfully working out its own
recovery program and that any
interference by Berry's group may
retard it.
The United States Chamber of
Commerce has also declined to
send representatives ot the confer
ence. Some of the other large as
sociations representing industrial
groups have not yet been heard
from.
