port.
STICKERS BY MILLIONS
Such an employer-your local
merchant, for instance-will have
signed the presidents blanket
agreement providing a 35-hour
week and a $14 weekly minimum
wage for industrial employees and
4O-hour week with $12 to SIS
minimum wage for white collar
workers.
Business men are to 0e con-
WINGED that only by coming in on
this plan can they put more
money in circulation and assure
the purchase of more goods.
Twenty million NRA "consum-
! err stickers-showing the blue
eagle and the motto Owe Do Our
I Part" in red, white and blue
have been made by 80 factories
on rush order. NRA members will
distribute them, one to each Gus
toner who signs q pledge card
promising to support and patron
| ize employers operating under the
plan.
Those stickers are for rear VIM
dows Of automobiles and windows
of homes. The theory is that few
| employers will have the nerve to
refrain from membership, altho
NRA officials frown on sugges-
tons of "boycott' or coercion"
SPEAKERS RECRUITED
The wars Four-Minute Men
will be succeeded by NRA's "two-
minute men," armed with a speak
er's manual and a speech. You
will hear them, according to pres
ent plans. in theatres, churches
and schools, before every organ
ization which holds meetings and
"in every public place"
Speeches will be along this line
'In the general defationary pro-
cess profits were narrowed by de-
clining business. Wages ashrank
and knocked down consuming
power. That hit the retailer and
damaged the manufacturer. I'M
employment rose enormously.
Then landlords found their prop
erty values going down and all
investments tumbled in value.
The way to restore prosperity is
by spreading employment and
raising wages. which can't be
done unless everybody does it."
Tons of literature-code agree
ments, instructions, textbooks for
local campaigns, prepared copy
| for newspapers-are being poured
out of Washington. Broadcasting
stations, beginning with the presi-
dents address to the country will
plug the theme song continuously.
Movie companies have been re-
cruited and one is doing a two
reeler with newspictures, plot
scenes and animated charts to
show how the depression devel-
oped, to show our interdepend-
ence on our neighbors' prosperity
and how we can "do our part. "
Short NRA subjects will be avail
able for all theatres.
Local "NRA campaign commit
tees" already are being organized
, in nearly all communities of more
than 10000 population, represent
ing business, civic, welfare, labor
and all other important groups.
This is the present plan of local
organization:
Each local committee will ap-
point man as general" and i
woman as "co-general.' Under
them will be as many captains"
as may be needed, depending upon
the city's size. Each captain"
will command ten persons.
The duty of these troops" will
be, first. to make block canvases
of merchants and other employers
and make census of compliance
with the blanket code; second. to
make a census Of, unemployed,
catalog them by trades and study
expanding industries with an eff
fort to get the unemployed alb
sorbed.
HUGE SELLING" TASK
The other chief task of the To-
cal committees will be the educa-
ton of small business men and
consumers. The NRA estimates
