SUPPORT OF PUBLIC
IC0ntinnld from FirM Paarl

lCOHfiHRed from FirIf Pdgf1
ministrator, made the announce
ment while reports came from all
over the land that the N. r. A. g
blue eagle insignia was appearing in
thousands of store windows beck
oning shoppers to come there.
These reports brought word, too,
of continued rush of employers to
present their agreements to the
hour shortening and wage lifting
movement and to receive the Gre
dentials that marked them as coop
orators with the administration.
In the Capital, meanwhile, Gener-
al Johnson and his aides labored
into the night ON separate codes for
industries that will supplant the
Presidential agreements.
Johnson announced that a hearing
on code of competition for the
coal industry would begin August
IA and on that for automobiles about
the same time.
He said in his press conference
that if any reports of violations of
codes already adopted by employers
were authenticated to him he would |
take very prompt action to the max
imum of the law if necessary. He
was referring particularly to COM
plants that labor provisions had |
been violated by some textile mills.
Johnson acted for President Roo
sevelt in calling upon the GA per-
sons to cooperate. Already, over 49,
900 civic organizations have enlisted
in the campaign that is being waged
to make the NRA insignia a neces-
sary trademark on all merchandise.
Asking the persons he picked to
volunteer their services, Johnson
sent the following telegram to each:
President Roosevelt has drafted
you as one of the nine members of
the State Recovery Board for the
State of. AS explained in
bulletin Number three of July 20,

teer your services without compen-
