PREPARE FETE TO
MARK ANNIVERSARY
OF NRA MOVEMENT
Johnson and Aides to Celebrate
Birthday Of New Deal
Scheme Saturday
DEAD CATS AND BOUQUETS
Both Fill tho Air 40 Result Of
Actions; Many Millions
Affected
DEAD CATS AND BOUQUETS

Washington, June ll.-(F-NRA,
that amazing offspring Of hard times,
attains its first birthday next satur-
day.
Born in economic gloom, mothered
by enthusiasm, the infant has drawn
the attention Of the whole world. OBJ
servers everywhere are trying to as
sess its accomplishments and its fu.
ture.
As Hugh 8. johnson himself pre-
dicted, NRA, in these later days, has
stood amid q strange shower Of bou-
quets and dead cats.
But as johnson bids his pioneer
MIRA workers and high officials to q
jubilee party next Friday night, the
hard-hitting general is confident.
Since President Roosevelt put his
signature to the industrial recovery
act June 16, 1888, it has affected more
millions Of people than any new deal
legislation except laws dealing with
money and banks.
The detectives were:
To substitute ordered competition
for catch-as -catch-can warfare.
To make more jobs by limiting
hours Of work and by wiping out child
labor.
To guarantee all workers the right
to organize without interference Ia
negotiate better working terms.
Many Ups and Downs
In the year there have been upe
and downs, progress and stalemate
popular fervor and some reaction, but
the birthday finds certain definite
things achieved:
l. The bulk Of industry is operat-
ing under voluntary codes. Many OBJ
servers say compliance Is spotty and
In places bad. The codes are in q
constant process Of revision and cor
rection.
2. Payrolls are up sharply.
3. There Is fairly general agree
ment that private industry has en-
ployed three million more men.
4. Child labor has been placed UNI
der a ban In all legitimate. codified
manufacturing and sharply limited
in trade.

In trade union membership.
The story Of NRAs first year Is
that Of Hugh s. Johson. This hard
working, hard-talking, one-time gen
eral Is not sole author Of NRAs basic
ideas, but his personality and his be-
liefs have dominated 1t every step OF
the way.
He moved first to get the big key
industries under codes. Cotton tex
tiles were first, for code number one.
Steel, oil, lumber, automobiles, btu
minous coal and electrical manufac-
ture followed.
Code number one set the prece-
dents Of the child labor ban and the
40-hour week, which most industries
have adopted.
The year ended with some $50 codes
n force and with evidence that the
rest Of industry was coming in.
