More than 600 codes of fair compe- tition have been set up, the first in i.vuly. 1933. The avercge age of these codes, however, is only 11 months, the President pointed out, adding that this was a brief time for definite ac- complishments already made. ‘The President did not hesitate to hit back at many eritics of the N. R A. He said that only “carping critics and those who seek either political advantage or the right again to in- dulge in unfeir practices or the ex- ploitation of labor or consumers de- liberately seek to quarrel over the obvious fact that a great code of law, of order and of decent business can- not be created in a day or a year.” The legislation to extend the life of the N. R. A. will be handled In the House by the Ways and Means Com- mittee and in the Senate by the Finance Committee, The Senate Judiciary Committee, through a sub- committee, already has begun an in- vestigation into the operation of the N. R. A, with particular reference as fo how it has affected the enforce- ment of the anti-trust laws and whether it has fostered monopoly and brought injury to small businesses and the consuming public. Inquiry Is Approved. A request for a full investigation of the N. R. A, contained in the Nye- McCarran resolution, was approved today by the Finance Committee, The committees of the Houge and Senate will be furnished with a mem- orandum containing the “detailed recommendations” for extending the life of the N. R. which the Presi- dent said had been given him by tine goverhmental agencies charged with the execution of the law. The agen- cies are understood to include the National Recovery Administration and the Department of Justice. It is expected that efforts will be made to strengthen the provisions of the existing law so the Government may move expeditiously against “chis- elers” who violate code provisions. The President told the Congress, in effect, that the progress which has N. R. A. has revealed the “vast scope of the problems” in the industrial life of the country. And he added: “We need a certain degree of flexibility and of specialized treatment.” His final plea to Congress was that by its fav- orable action on the extension of the | | | Alumni Assoclation of Roosevelt High N.

Eddie Rickenbacker, (Continued From First Page.) Text of N. R. A, Message giving re-employment to approxi- mately 4,000,000 people. Child Labor Curse Has Been Lifted. In our progress under the act the age-long curse of child labor has been lifted, the sweatshop out- lawed, millions of wage earners have been released from the starvation wages and excessive hours of labor, Under it a great advance has been made in the opportunities and as- surances of collective bargaining between employers and employes. Under it the pattern of a new order of industrial relations is definitely taking shape. Industry as & whole has also made gains. It has been freed—in part, at least—from dishonorable competition brought about not only by overworking and underpaying labor, but by destructive business practices. We have begun to de- velop new safeguards for small enterprises, and, most important of all, business itself recognizes more clearly than at any previous time in our history the advantages and the obligations of co-operation and self-discipline, and the patri- otic need of ending unsound financing and unfair practices of all kinds. Hand in hand with the improv- ing of labor conditions and of in- dustrial practices we have given representation and consideration to the problems of the consuming public. And it is reasonable to state that with certain inevitable exceptions in the case of individual products there has been less goug- ing in retail sales and prices than in any similar period of increasing demand and rising markets, 600 Codes Added Since July, 1933. The first codes went into effect in July, 1933. Singe then approxi- mately 600 have Deen,added. The average age of these eodes of fair competiilon which have been ap- proved—9) per cent of the cover- bie employments were under code +—is less than 11 months—a brief time indeed for the definite achieve- ments already made. Oniy carpipg critics and those who seek either political advantage or the right again to indulge in unfair prac- tices or exploitation of labor or consumers deliberately seek to quarrel over the obvious fact that a great code of law, of order and of decent business cannot be cre- ated in a day or a year. ‘We must rightly move to correct some things done or left undone. We must work out the co-ordina- tion of every code with every other code. We must simpafy procedure. ‘We must continue o obtain cur- rent information as to the work- ing out of code processes. We must constantly improve & personnel which, of necessity, was hastily as- sembled, but which has given loyal and unselfish service to the Gov- ernment of the country. We utust check and clarify such provisions in the various codes &s are pue- zling to those operating under them. We must make more and more definite the responsibilities of all of the parties concerned. This act, which met in its prin- ciples with such universal public approval and under which such great general gains have been made, will terminate on June 16 next. The fundamental purposes and principles of the act are sound. To abandon them is unthinkable, It would spell the refurn of indus- trial and labor chaos. I therefore recommend to the Ccngress that the national indus- trial recovery act be extended for & period of two years, Farther Defining Of Policy Urged. 1 recommend that the policy and standards for the administration of the act should be further defined in order to clarify the legislative urpose and to guide the execu- rlm of the law, thus profiting by what we have already learned. Voluntary submission of codes should be encouraged, but at the same time, if an industry fails vol- untarily to agree within itself, unquestioned power must rest in the Government to establish in any event certain minimum stand- ards of fair competition in com- mercial practices, and, especially, adequate standards in labor rela- tions. For example, child labor must not be allowed to return; the fixing of minimum wages and maximum hours is practical and necessary. The rights of employes freely to organize for the purpose of col- lective bargaining should be fully Pprotected. The fundamental principles of the anti-trust laws should be more adequately applied. Monopolies and private price fixing within in- dustries must not be allowed nor condoned. “No monopoly should be private.” But I submit that in the case of certain natural re- sources, such as coal, oil and gas, the people of the United States need Government supervision over these resources devised, for the parpose of eliminating their waste and of controlling their output and it in them, to public will be protected and that. ruinous price cutting and inordinate profits wdl both be denied. transformed into a license to strangle fair competition under the apperent sanction of the law, Small enterprises especially shoud be given added protection sgainst discrimination and oppres-i-n., More Effective Means Of Enforcing Needed. In the development of this legis- lation I call your attention to the obvious fact that the way go en- force laws, codes and regulations relating to industrial practicgs is not to seek to put people in jail ‘We need other and more effective means for the immediate atopping of practices by any individual or by any corporation which are oon- trary to these principles. Detailed recommendations along the lines which I have indicated havg been made to me by various d nts and agencies charged with the execution of the present law. These are available for the consideration of the Congress and, although not furnishing anything like & precise and finished draft ot legisiation, they may be heipful to you in your deliberations. Let me urge upon the Congress the necessity for an extension of the present act. The progress we have been able to make has shown us the vast scope of the problems mn our industrial life. We need a certain degree of flexibility and of specialized treatment, for our knowledge of the processes and the necessities of this life is still incomplete. By your action you ‘will sustain and hasten the process of industrial recovery which we are now experiencing; you will lighten the burdens of unemployment and economic insecurity. —_— SCHOOL TRENDS TOPIC Teachers to Hear Superintendent of Seattle Schools Tonight.
