The process of adjusting, in strictly secret meetings, the steel industry went on with indications that three or four days would elapse before anything emerged. Johnson, as head of the government trio supervising application of the already operating textile code, intended to reach an early decision on the special report dealing with the cotton "stretchout" system, which Robert W. Bruere, chairman of the investigating committee. said was drafted with the idea of having it incorporated in the cotton code.

The report, not until now public, was designed to solve the problem caused by mills increasing the number of machines each worker had to tend.

The Pennsylvania visit was regarded significant in view of the coal strike and other labor troubles. There was no assurance that the strike question would be touched on in the administrator's talk. since he says that until a coal code is in force he has no jurisdiction.
