Johnson to augment business by a great "Buy Now" campaign; Response of the industries to the "blanket code"; Statement that the codes submitted by the industries have contradicted the plain language of the Recovery Act by insisting upon the maintenance of company unions, or upon other restrictions upon the right of labor to bargain collectively through representatives of its own free choices.
