Washington, Dec. l6.-(PD-NRA's
blue eagle will continue to fly after
December 81 and program soon will
.e announced to extend the presi-
dents unemployment agreement for
the trades and industries which do
not have codes in effect on that day.
The blue eagle agreements were
sent out in August. Millions Of bust
nessmen signed their names In q
promise to comply with the higher
wage, shorter hours requirements un-
III the last day Of the year when the
agreements expire. They promised
also to help get their trades organized
for code purposes.
Saturday. many of those business
men are under permanent codes.
Thousands more probably will be by
the end OF the year. But there will
remain q residium Of uncoded indus
tries, groups with codes pending but
not approved, or not even in formu-
.ation.
The administration has no intention
IT letting these slip away from the
unemployment rally for q possible
new competitive reduction of wages
Further, and despite the "chiseling'
going on, for which blue eagles now
are being ordered down daily, officials
insist the emblem Of cooperation has
real trade value.
They cite as evidence two principal
recent occurrences; a big candy store
chain was deprived of the eagle fol
paying Mattresses hardly more than
half the required rate. It appealed
for reinstatement the same day, anc
.ater agreed to pay back wages to all
hands for month. Before the eagle
was ordered down from the store of q
"chiSeler" in small eastern city
more than 1000 people signed q peti-
zion asking that the merchant be dis.
ciplined.
Half q dozen smaller merchants
who had been deprived Of the sigr
vent to great lengths to get it back
again.
The plan for continuance is not We,
clearly formed. The simplest method
IS to proclaim, by regulation and pub.
lie announcement, that continued dis.
play binds the employer to stick tx
the agreement terms, either until hi,
lode becomes effective or for a period
fixed by the president.
