Imperial Valley press. (El Centro, Calif.) 1907-current, 1933-10-02

the NRA as 1t affects Ell Centre,
r. j. Kliegel, director general OF
the Ell Centre MIRA organization,
has prepared the following resume
of what has been accomplished in
this city in the short time since
the MIRA program was initiated
here.
Practically every store, industry
and business house in Ell Centre is
now signed up under the MIRA. The
few who have not signed up would
amount to less than one-half OF
one per cent, negligible number
is a nation wide drive of this
kind. These concerns have, with
very few exceptions, cut the work.
ing hours of their employees and
put new employees on their staffs,
thereby increasing the buying pow
err of the community and finding
work for the unemployed. Many
plan to increase their personnel
even further and I am convinced
a canvass Of the city would show
that there is a tremendous de-
crease in unemployed among classes
other than the laboring groups,
which will be taken care of under
federal, state and county relief
programs.
I'VE now have 2400 families in
Ell Centre who have signed pledges
to support merchants who display
the blue eagle and hire MIRA sup
porters. Families in which there has
been no unemployment can i'm
mediately make necessary purchases
and do repair work around their
homes. Those families where there
has been unemployment will soon
be, or already are on payrolls of the
business houses of the city and
they too are naturally going to do
increased buying This is necessary
if the business houses which have
increased their payrolls are to be
enabled to continue this increased
overhead. President Roosevelt does
not ask wanton spending, but he
does ask that, in as far as possible,
families do their buying and i'm
proving at once rather than de-
ferring unnecessarily.
There must necessarily in city
of this size be some firms and in
dividuals who do not thoroughly
understand the provisions Of the
National Recovery Act and to sec
that these persons are properly in
formed an MIRA compliance board
has now been formed in Ell Gen.
tro to accept complaints, aid in
matters of arbitration and general
ly see that MIRA regulations are in
forced locally.
{ I'VE therefore have a complete
MIRA set up in Ell Centro," Kliege
stated in conclusion, land all We
need to make it a success is patti
ence. Results cannot be accomplish
ed in day, and the sincere coop.
Grafton of every individual in do.
ing his part is essential.
