affected. In the true spirit of the | code local merchants in many in- stances have increased the salaries of their employees.
 MT Goss elaborated today upon his previous remarks, concerning credits and collections. He has re- peatedly defended merchants who are saddled with unpaid bills and has advocated measures of relief for them through the co-operation of banks. Merchants in such a po- sition are entitled to every consid- oration before any question is raised concerning. their co-opera- tion with the NRA movement. No official announcement was Forthcoming today on what meas- ures MT Goss proposes. but 1t is understood that he spoke today with advice from prominent bank ing officials and there is every req son to believe that some definite action will result. Due to the ini- t1ative taken today it is more than likely that Waterbury may take the lead in Connecticut in formu- lating measures of relief for mer- chants with frozen assets.
 There was no disposition to question Federal Administrator Hugh Johnson's public statements concerning interruptions methods of forcing employees to work on the stagger system or to take longer rest periods and time out for luncheon. It is believed that local business establishments come with iE the circle of the administrators permission. Actually local stores could keep open 57 hours and still be within the spirit of the code. As the hours have been decreased to 54 it Is the opinion that Waterbury Is carrying on as expected.
