Johnson, administrator of the NRA, tonight said the present textile strike was called in direct violation of an understanding reached with him last 'June. At that time, he said, a strike in the textile trades was threatened, but he reached an agreement with textile leaders and it was called off. "If such agreements of organized labor are worth no more than this one, then that institution is not such a responsible, instrumentality as can make contracts on which this country can rely." Addressing a meeting of the code authorities in Carnegie Johnson said the strike "was pulled in contravention of the solemn agreements of the Federation." "Men circulated among the dele gates ana tola tnem the government would feed the strikers. Norman Thomas appeared and urged the strike. He is a politico.

Whenever a strike becomes political it has no place in the lexicon of the NRA. "The cotton textile industry is the-very last ilace -in- this country in which a strike should be ordered. It was the first industry to come forward with a code. That code increased employment by 140,000 or nearly 3 1-3 per cent. According to our studies it increased the hourly fates by 70 per cent.

Deck storekeeper William O'Sul-livan, a roughly-dressed, quiet spoken man, told the board today that it was common knowledge that stewards kept inflammable liquid cleaner aboard the Morro Castle because the paste cleaner required by law is more difficult to apply. -The 200 gallons of enamel, kept in a forward storeroom with the ship's regular supply of kerosene, turpentine and gasoline, wasrei sponsible in for' the "swift spread of tke flames storekeeper believed.

They started a vigorous cam paign' to obtain registration of weapons sunder -terms of-the na tional firearms act.
