 After inquiring into this subject on both sides of the picture,
it is my considered opinion that home'vork should not be abolished and
hat a form of regulation such as indicated above, should be required.

 Bag Code Authority


 Organized this Authority Tuesday night, April 3, 1934. Meeting
developed that a buyer's strike is threatened, probably in New York,
)ver the new terms laid down in the Code. Suggested that it would be
I threat only, but in the meantime would be good to get in touch with
bhe Retail Code Authority and point out that the strike threat is
Dased upon the idea of infringement of the Bag Code.

 Out-of-town factories asking for apprentices. Matter to be
investigated and report made immediately.
