/ In congress they are wrangling
about the extension of NRA.
The house is for another two years
of it.
In the senate what may be called
a willful minority has added itself to
minority that is congenitally op-
posed to NRA and thus a majority
has been created to extend NRA for
about 80 days.
Those that want to kill NRA be-
lieve the best poison is brief extern
sion.
Labor wants NRA extended for a
full two years, and that is what
should be done because it is the right
thing to do.
One trouble with too many bust
ness men is that they forget the cries
they We're sending up two years ago.
They forget the state of financial,
moral and mental bankruptcy with
which they went down on their knees
begging for help in those dark and
fearsome days.
So, today the two houses of con-
gress are divided on NRA-the house
going one way, the senate the other.
Those that want NRA extended for
two years would do we'll to get busy.
There can be change brought about
in the senate.
There are senators who want to do
the will Of the people.
Check your list of senator's and if
| YOUR senators have voted wrong
write and tell them so.
Incidentally, write and praise those
that have done the right thing.
The biggest factor in opposing
NRA is the the United States Cham
Der of Commerce.
An interesting fact is that because
of its position there is a lot of rebel
lion in Chamber of Commerce ranks.
That rebellion probably will spread
Big business makes a very painful
face and cries that NRA is hurting
little business
But when Hugh Johnson testified
before the senate committee he read
into the record more than 100 let.
ters and resolutions from little bust
ness men and associations asking fol
more of NRA. Little business by the
hundred have been SAVED by NRA
| And, with all its weak points and
its foolish doings, NRA has helped
labor beyond measure.
The cold fact is that NRA has
helped those who two years ago were
SO weak and beaten that they could nc
longer help themselves.
With one-ffth of our population
still on relief, the time has surely
not come to throw the life boat out
from under us, or to drill it full of
holes.
The ones who want that kind Of
business are the ones that don't neec
a life boat.
4 One good way to test any measure
is to find out who are for it and who
are against it.
i Opponents of NRA are mostly in the
houses of the rich.
| The NAM, organization of labor
haters for 10, these many years, is
against NRA.
Those who, in other depressions
have "liquidated'' the small people
and gobbled up their little wealth
into fewer and bigger piles, are to-
day against NRA.
Those who would concentrate the
wealth in few Wall street hands are
today trying to murder NRA.
Use that test and you MUST be
for NRA.
/ Take your pen in hand and write 8
wallop for NRA. Address it to your
senators today and help labor tx
go on in growing strength and power
This is no time to go backward
what is there that lies backward tc
