Henry Ford Defies President
WILL NOT JOIN NATIONAL RECOVERY PLAN
United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph —Copyright. NEW YORK, Aug. 30. President Roosevelt has asked the Industrial Administrator, Mr Hugh Johnson, for a report on the failure of Henry Ford to enrol under the new working agreement for the automobile industry. Mr. Ford has until September 5 to sign the automobile code of competition if he wants a Blue Eagle for his motor cars. This was emphasised on Wednesday by National Recovery officials. General Hugh Johnson said that Mr. Ford must sign the code to get the. Blue Eagle, no matter if he should announce a schedule of higher wages and shorter hours. Mr. Ford said some time ago that he would have to "live down to the code," if he adopted it, declaring that it compared unfavourably with his own scale of hours and wages.
