General Johnson, in a press interview to-day, admitted that the N.R.A. was faced with a serious enforcement problem as regards recalling the Blue Eagle emblems from alleged code violators. He referred to the right of the President to take such steps under the agreements signed, but admitted that he did not know if isuch action could be enforced in the courts. He deprecated the possibility that losing their emblems, with their names published, might be grounds for a libel suit against the Government, and indicated that more withdrawals would follow proper complaints. Meanwhile, according to reports from New Rochelle, New York, one ■loser, of the Blue Eagle reported that increased business had resulted. Tiie proprietors of a beauty saloon there were asked to give up the Blue Eagle, on charges of paying their employees less than the minimum wage specified in the code, and did so, after which business was immediately stimulated. The proprietors announced! they would cut prices and wages, and hire more operators, -a direct contradiction of tho N.R.A. policy.
