 Voting It was unanimously aPrerid that the su.7-estion mar.de by the
&eputr.tion, with res ect to a t,:o-third vote beint required on matters
strictly relating to their branch was not i-racticLa and that the majority
vote, as provided under the ne'r approved By-Laws, be follo.7ed.

 Formal resolutions were spread. on the minutes with res-ect to each
item mentioned above.

 It was agreed that the Code Directors should constitute a committee
to iron out any possible difference: that might cone up so that the mat-
ter can be presented for your approval at the public hearin.7 next Wed-
nesday.

 A-o.rentice Requests These still continue'to cone up ,rnd the
Code Authority re-affirmed the -position heretofore taken by it, which
is one of opposition.

 Desi-.n Piracy The --lan as presented- --'as unanincusly approved.

 Cost Formula Since the committees re-ort on this subject had only
been distributed to the member" of the Code Authority two or three hours
before the meeting, it was decided to lapr it over until the next meeting,
on the distinct understanding; that each ne-lber o-ould carefully study
the report so that the discussion at the later meeting would be to the
noint and constructive*

 Salesmen- The Code Director, re-presentitig the coinittee of which
I w7p.s a member, )resented his report, but I took e::ce )tion to a later
develoroment of 7hich I had not been- fully Cc.oLoi:-ted. At a meeting I
had with the Salesments Conmittee, I nronise.L a deputation of salesmen
would be received by manufacturers, at which time the-r should get a defi-
nite yes or no answer. I nuade this pronise feeling_ it was the politic
and proper thing to do nnd for the best interests both of nanufacture3rs and
salesmen, believing that a face-to-face meeting is eood and, even if the
answer had to be no, the other side will not feel they have been slighted.
After r meetin.- with the salesmraen, I held a c.ssion with the President
of the Association, who was then leaving for California. He p':reeL, with
my opinion in the matter and left the ap-ointment of the committee of
manufacturers in the hruads of Hr. iittenthnal. Hr. iIittenthal consulted
with those manufacturers, and. theye evidently did not feel it was necessz-ry
to sit down with these salesmen and r E:rd l:r. Mittenthdl to convey to
the salesmen their refusal of the demands np.made. It was to this I tool:
exception. After all, salesmen are an i.-ort'ont part of ny nrnufc-
turerts business and it is so foolish to build resentment and ant.:-C-n-
isms. I think the Code Authority in the main ,greed. with my strictures
upon this action, or rather l'-.ck of action, and feel that within the next
week or so there will be soie sort of c, ,:et-together even if it does
result in denial.

 New Members on the Code A.thor itrr It was understood and agreed to
at the public hearings that I should nene three extra, men to this body.
This has never been done nrid I believe should be settled. I will dis-
cuss this with you next week.
