Code Authority Ladies' Handbag In'dustry ",

New York City

Gentlemen: I

 I wish to call y-ur attention to a resolution oass-ed u-oon by the me
of the beaded bag division which no doubt will be offered' for your consid
and anuroval, end I would like to make the following corrections.

 The resolution as it nor stands may be inter-oreted that articles gi
out to homneworkers Drior to submitting such articles to the im-oartial pe'B
or party shall constitute non-comnuliance of the code. This would constil
a challenge to the honesty. and ability of the manufacturers in our beadel
division and I must, therefore, most urgently -orotest against such unwarZ
slir on our members, however unintentional.

 I therefore urge you to include in this resolution P statement that"'.
 items shall be submitted to; the impartial '-oerson or -oar.ty for auoroval F
 be submitted either-before or after the work h,-s been given out to the h
 workers. This statement would -ermit the impartial ioerson or agency to
 more efficiently for the benefit of the entire industry as otherwise it
 without a doubt, at' the height of 'he season, -oaralyze our industry on ai
 of *he impossibility to -oas uron all samples which will be submitted foe,
 approval, within a short time. .3

 I am certain that no human being, -no matte-r how experienced he may i
 our industry, can estimate the time required to manufacture a beaded bag l
 actually timing the making of it, unless such estimate of time be entirely$
 arbitrary and discriminating in many instances. ..
