r ERE is the text of the Indus
trial Administrations explana-
ton Of President Roosevelt's
re-employment program:

i
I. Names:
To save space and time, we will call
! the National Industrial Recovery Act
! N. r. A.. and the National Recovery
Administration, N. R. A.
2. Industrial selt-gopernment:
Bulletin No. 2 dated June l9, 1888,
shows how to submit codes OF fair
competition under N. I. r. A. section
8 (A). 1t permits industries and trade
associations to organize for self-govern-
ment to increase employment and i'm
! prove labor conditions, to wipe out
| unfair practices, to discipline them
| selves and to stabilize their operations.
Nothing will be permitted to slow up
! that process 1t must go fast II buSl.
/ ness is to do for itself and Tor the
| country the great good offered by N. /.
| r. A. 1t will proceed as promptly as
! codes can come in and be heard.
Nothing in this bulletin and nothing
| in our plans or statements change That
process, which will go on without any
regard whatever to the new and addl-
tional plan set forth in this bulletin
/ mo. 81.
Purchasing Power Must Rise.
g. Codes and agreements distin-
cuished:
But swift moving changes require
| swift action A rapid rise i'll prices and
mass production is going OH. Mass
! purchasing power must rise sas fast.
| The President has stated his policy TO
do this by prompt shortening OF the
work week and raising Of wages fer
f.! the shorter week.
Rules governing hours and wages OF
| labor must be included in every code,
and codes must continue to come along
as fast as possible. But whole indus
tries must organize and have many con-
ferences before codes can be worked
| out and that takes long time.
! In this national emergency We can
not delay broad Unemployment while We
wait tor codes. If We are not to have a
setback in our returning prosperity.
and if we are to take this chance to get
out of this depression. We must act more
! quickly to get more and fatter pay en-
velopeS to our workers.
Permits Individual Agreements.
! We can do this under section 4 (a),
national industrial recovery act, which.
| in addition to codes, permits trade
groups and also individual employers to
make agreements with the President
himself to do their part in this great
effort We are going to use this addi-
! tional power
! This bulletin sets forth this swifter
| plan, which is in addition to (and not
| in place Of codes. These new presi-
! Dental agreements should be sent in by
all individual employers at once as pro-
vided in paragraph of this bulletin
, and codes should be sent in by industries
and trade associations as fast as they
can be prepared as provided in Bulletin
No 2, N. r. A.
T. Time limit on codes:
In order to assist these trades and
industries, which are not sufficiently or
ganized to present their codes in repre-
sentative fashion and to help compoSe
| the difficult problems in other trades
| and industries where economic differ
| ences have delayed the submission Of
codes, it is assumed that to all trades
or industries which have not submitted
| codes under section ca by September
l, 1888, the President will begin to hold
hearings under section (d) as fast as
proper notice can be given and hearings
arranged.
Declare Truce on Selfishness.
| So much for codes: The plan to
create Nationwide Unemployment by
presidential agreements Is as follows:
S. The Presidents Unemployment
dripe::
| A truce on seldshness Before Labor
| day-six weeks away-it is possible to
solve the problem of unemployment
/ through individual agreements with the
Ryff fa n I1ic
! must act quickly, vigorously, and boldly,
as one man-get together in one power
| ful effort-declare truce on selfishness
| In this mass attack on depression.
there is clear-cut part for every group
Members OF each group are invited to
! become members of N. r. A. on the
| plan set forth in this bulletin.
The employers part is to act at once
! and all together to submit and scru-
| pulously comply with agreements with
| the President to shorten hours and raise
wages and to cooperate with employees
! in peaceful adjustment of differences.
! The way to make these agreements is
! shown in paragraph 7.
The employees part is to do their best
on the job and 10 cooperate with
N R. A. and employers in peaceful
| adjustment of differences. More can be
done now for workers through this CO.
| operation of $4,000. 900 people than can
ever be done by discord and dispute
Women Urged to Cooperate.
The public's part-and especially the
part of women twho control the bulk
! of buying)-is to support all those en-
| ployers and employees who do their parts
to put breadwinners back to work
s. Employers badge of cooperation:
For the public to DO its Part, it must
know which employers have done their
/ part to put people back to work by
making these agreements with the
President and by codes.
Every industry and every employer
who has agreed with the President on
this plan, or who has had approved q
code covering the vital subject of re-
employment, will be enrolled as a men,
Der of N. R. A. and given a certificate
and Government badge showing the
seal of N. r. A. and the words: Mem
ber N. r. A. We Do Our Part"
1t will be authorized to show this
badge on all its equipment, goods, COM
municatiOns and premises. Lists Of all
employers authorized to use this badge
will b. on file at all post offices SO
that any Misrepresentation by unau-
thorized use of N. r. A. badges can
be prevented.
