MERCHANTS VOTE
n. R. A. APPROVAL
Believe Public Also Favors
Continued Operation
Under Codes.

A Nationwide poll of merchants
today revealed the retailing industry
and the general public supporting the
N. r. A. and the recovery program
with undiminished fervor.
The survey was made by the Ma
tional Retail Dry Goods Association
among its 4,50O member department
and speciality stores in large and av-
erage size communities in practically
every State.
The trade association asked its
members four questions: Has the
N. R. A. been helpful to your busi-
ness and to business generally? What
seems to be the general sentiment in
your community at this time con-
cerning the N. r. A.? What are the
prospects for continued business re-
covery Immediately ahead? Do you
believe the N. r. A. should be con-
tinued permanently in its present
lOlLl, LlOu1iCO VI NloSOllIAluCN C44-
tirely upon its date of expiration?
The N. R. D. G. A. reported that
approximately 80 per cent of the
members responding said definitely
that the N. R. A. has had beneficial
effect on their business and on busi-
ness in their community. Nearly 10
per cent of them felt that the public
in their home territories was strongly
behind the N. R. A, while the re-
mainder said that residents were
either apathetic or sharply divided In
their attitude. Some rs per cent Of
the merchants saw prospects of con-
tinued business recovery Immediately
ahead. At least So per cent Of them
declared themselves in favor Of con-
tinuing the N. r. A., 73 per cent OF
them asking for its extension in a
modified or amended form. Thirteen
per cent of the merchants were un-
certain as to whether 1t should be
continued in some form or dropped
entirely, and per cent said they
favored its complete eventual aboli-
tion.

Seed Firms Kept Busy Filling Orders
As Interest in Gardens CrOus Rapidly

Spring sometimes sharply reduces the

Sales Of seed by mail, quickened
this year by more generous use Of

the smallest seed stocks in dealers

five or six years. Some shortages all

commercial types Of grass seeds, and,
among the more utilitarian items,
carrots, late squash and new beets,
along with gladiolus and lily bulbs.
According to wholesale demand for
seeds from growers, small florists,
private estates and truck farmers is
heavier than a year ago. Production
of bulbs, flowers and plants in due
course will be brought into line with
the rules set forth in the code pre-
sented by the National Florist Coun-
Gil and now awaiting official N. r. A.

New Peak for Year Set by

IRREGULARITIES APPEAR
IN HEAVY INDUSTRIES
Labor Unrest, Failures Increase,

BY JOHN A. CRONE.
Ial Dispatch to The Star

NEW YORK. March 1.-THE VOL
ume OF retail and wholesale trade
during the last week reached the high
est level this year despite some irregu-
larities in the heavy industries
rumblings of labor unrest, slight gain
in retail business failures, a seasonal
recession in bank clearings and further
curtailment of C. w. A. activities.
The avalanche of new business COM
ing from the Middle West, Atlantic
and South Atlantic States attests the
helpfulness of the various Federal pro-
grams in those sections. While unem-
ployment has increased in sections
where c. w. A. projects have been
curtailed or stopped, trade for March
promises to be the best for that month
in the last three years.
Uniformity Lacking.
Business barometers are not uni
formly better. Electric output, though
1t registered gain for the forty-fifth
consecutive week, shows signs of slack
ening. Steel production turned lower

PROFITS RETURN
FOR RETAILERS Of
MEMS CLOTHING
Sharp Reduction in Costs
and Higher Gross In
comes Shown.
BY F. A. RESCH,
Associated Press staff Writer.

CHICAGO, March 17.-Sharp re-
ductionS in operating expense, COM
bined with rising prices and greater
gross profits, have turned red ink to
black in the mems retail clothing
! business.
Net profits of slightly more than
per cent were achieved by small stores
| during 1888, it was announced today
| by the National Association of Retail
! Clothiers and Furnishers.. while large
! stores-those with an annual volume
exceeding 100000 - averaged net
profits of slightly less than per cent
A substantially increased gross
profit and a decline in the percentage
cost of major expense items we're held
responsible for the industry's financial
improvement.
Turnover Expands.
Higher net profits for smaller stores
we're attributed to the small mer-
chants ability to trim expenses more
sharply.
Turnover in the industry, the asso-
ciation found, has been running as
great as in 1929, and in some instances
greater. Salary expenses, despite code
regulations, were found to be less than
in 1882.
IF the gross profit for 1888 had
been the same as 1882" says the as
sociations report, both groups of
stores would have suffered a loss.
With prices rising. however. and with
the need of clearance sales and mark
downs minimized, the picture was
completely altered.
IF the gross profits of 1888 could be
maintained in 1884 and the volume
increased without a proportionate in
crease in operating expenses-then the
mems apparel merchant would be well
back on the road to recovery"
Jumps 43 Per Cent.
During February business done by
mems apparel stores was about 43 per
cent greater by volume than the rec
ord for February of 1888, judging from
latest reports reaching the associa-
tion's Business Committee. In most
cities, however, February trade slump
ed from January's volume.
Midwest stores reported February
sales gains exceeding so per cent over
February, 1888. Fewer clearance sales
were recorded for February than for
January in all sections.

KRAMER s NOTE
To BA[LOU

CONTINUED from 1st Sport P0ge)
there was not sufficient control
of this audience added to the
trouble.
1T is to be borne in mind
that within the last ten days
the principals of the five white
high schools were called into
the office by the superinten-
dent of schools and the whole
question of the uncOntrOl and
disgraceful conduct of the audi
ence at the Mckinley Central
game was considered. The
game in question is the first
game succeeding the Mckinley
Central contest.
DRASTIC ACTION
"Since some positive action
must be taken to impress not
only upon the pupils but upon
the public that the schools can
not consent to the continuance
of inter-high school football
contests unless such contests
are carried on in the spirit of
good craftsmanship, I respect
fully recommend that the inter
high school contests not yet
played be abandoned for this
year. The principals of the
five schools of Divisions l-9
unanimously endorse this action
and 1 am forwarding this to
you wit. their unanimous APP
pro
"Since it was impossible to
abandon the contest between
