Suggestions that information con-
cerning q multitude Of details covering
almost all business and industrial op-
erations be collected for the National
Recovery Administration for use in eco
nomic planning and code enforcement
are made in report Of the N. r. A.
economic division.
Regarded as especially significant by
trade executives because some OF them
are quite seriously concerned with the
costs Of obtaining the information, the
report suggests 10 different forms for
reporting statistical data. The forms
ask the most intimate figures Of busi-
ness operation and require much data
that never has been correlated in q
general way before.
While the immediate purpose Of OBJ
tanning the information is to aid In
the policing of codes. deeper purpose

sought indicate. some economists be-
leve, the long-term intentions of N. r.
A., since many of the figures would have
however. be extremely important as
codidcation goes on and business op-
crates more fully under more extensive
organization.
Inquiry No. l. as the forms are des-
ignated, asks the number of employees,
total man-hours and total pay roll. It
classifies male and female workers as
to whether they are learners, privileged
employees or regular employees, in fac
tory, auxiliary departments and Office
sections
No. asks the distribution of en-
ployes according to rates and hours.
For the same classification as in No. !
1t asks the numbers Of employees who
worked a specified number of hours for
q specified rate of pay each week. For
instance, how many employees worked
from 90 to 2s.s hours and received 80
to 349 cents an hour There are 8
hourly divisions and 10 wage rates
divisions. Inquiry No. breaks down
the figures to show the number OF male
and female workers, according to their
specific duties and the number of hours
and rates Of pay they received.
Inquiry No. requests quite elaborate
price information, including prices Of
principal raw materials and finished
products from manufacturers through
all Intermediates to consumers. Rea-
sons for price changes also are sought
Production Information.
Inquiries Nos. and ask informa-
ton on production, stocks orders and
shipments, and inquiry No. is in re-
gard to raw materials and fuel used
and on hand.
Inquiry No. & asks data on machine
operations, and Is regarded as particu-
Iarly useful as indicating the extent to
which an industry Is overexpanded with
respect to current and prospective de-
mand Inquiry No. 9 asks an inventory
Of machinery for the same general pur-
pose.
Inquiry No. 10 involves a quarterly
financial and cost report for code mem
bers whose codes set up costs as basis
Of determining minimum prices.
Most of these forms are directed at
the manufacturing industry. but SINH
lar information probably will be sought
from all economic sections.

and dificulty. With additional revenues
which may be anticipated with reason

the early future Of the eighteenth
amendment, it may be practicable to
dispense with certain excise taxes and
to reduce others within two years.
Certainly resort to other new
sources may be avoided.
"The credit of the United States Is
being employed in an extraordinary

due to unemployment and business

MOORE'S TOPIC
Speaker Has Respect for
Those Who Do Not Pro-
fess Falsely

"Three kinds of folk in every
community" were discussed by
Dr.. John w. Moore, presiding
elder Of the Charlotte district OF
the NJ. E. church, in a sermon
last night in the series of reviva.
services being conducted at the
First NJ. L. church. His subject
was 1.-TWO Kinds of Religion"
an every community" sale
the speaker, "there are those who
do not profess religion, and they
are at least to be appreciated be-
cause they do not misrepresent
themselves. ! can have a certain
degree of respect for anyone who
does not come into the church be-
cause he does not intend to live
a Christian life. Then there are
the ceremonial or formal Chris
tians and the spiritual or expert
mental Christians. Ceremonial
Christians are those who have
been baptized and received into
the church, but their religion is
largely formal or sacramental. A
preacher has baptised them and
administered the sacrament and
they attended church regularly
and contribute to its support, but
that is about as far as they go.
The spiritual Christian has been
baptised with the Holy Ghost and
receives his inspiration directly
from Jesus. Everybody believes
in God but that does not save
anyone-"no man cometh unto
the Father except by Jesus"
DR.. Moore preached this morn
ing on marked Men" and tonight
at 8 o'clock his subject will be
"The Christian Secret of Happy
Life" Group prayer services
will be held at the church at 1880
