ment of the lon,:-; dr,-'n out question of semi-skilled hours and wages
Pnd it might ju'.,t as well be free nor, -.s a month later.

 The- then nr-ceaded. with their ,)lans for the herring, going on
Fssum*.tion that the he..rin,-: date rould not be -)ostponed anOl I think
industry rill be well represented rt that time. Of one thin.- I ad.
very cert, in. Labor -ill be 7oell re'-.:,-Anted and r -.3tronr: fi;ht rill
be made by that -T-.rt of the incustr-.;.

 In re,&in- the minutes of the p.rccecin: meeting, I vwar reninded
that at that meeting, labor requested e:.r:. re )re-entation an' oresen-
ted a motion as-in'; th"., Coe Auiithoiit. to recoil end such to the Admin-
istration. ?inOlinC; no scco-iC'krr, the np'ter -as dro'-)ied. Labor bases
its c.lain for this upon the fact th-: i is their belief that the inclJ
sion of the ne7 group, with its sojie !-at different labor problem than
hand ba.:z, n-.il:os it difficult for 1->oor, as at -resent represented, to
do an Pdequiate job.

 My feeling' is th- t there is no ner,. for a second labor represen-
tative on this Code Authority. In s.one instances, notably IHillinery,
I am delighted that there are tro I ..or r.- resent"tives and in the
main it works extrenel-r reli ,v. rn.cii 0C vn).ue co es from those two
men. Pecruseo of the disrupted labor ciii-Latlon in hand bags and the
growth of the C'r .m.uni-t element, I d:- t believe it wise to stir up
the troubled water at this time, br thc, r- ioint..-ient of a second lab
representative.

 Some time ago, I sent forvwr.-L v reconnmendcti-n ,ith resoect to
appoint:ient of new men u--on this b-'rV. The letter was sent to either:
Colonel Berry or Loigi Ore uand rc'mc e'l-,i-nirt r-s ixde. At about thes
sane time By-Lavs were p.i-_,-irvevd P:2i6. *'on the insistence of the Legal
Division the use of alternates, -\ica ', beeni custonar'y, as disconU |
tinued. The lc.ck of r..a- -)rov,-. of thc.zc : npmos is slowing uo the
of this body, bocpuse one cannot bc ccrt in of a rluor-uim t a meeting
account of the srh.l number of no-i q'iJi-i i3d to sit. I wonder if it
would not be -ossible to h,-te.- the rov-1 of the names submitted.
I urge thz't this be done. I realize tL:'t t.ese ien. '-ill only hold 0-
for c short ti-je, since' withi. r- ^ -i -.y days a ne'7 Code Author.
will have to be submitted to :.-o'. for ". .ro.-'l.

 The neetin.; adjourned about 11:15 .n.
