No Way tp Check Ait Yet
The postmaster has no way as yet
to determine the actual number of
people In this territory signing the
agreements, but will be able to check
them as soon as Aug. 1 arrives and
the certificates of compliance are re
ceived. A large number are signing,
however.
When Aug. 1 arrives, each employor
presenting a certificate of compli
ance will receive from the post office
tho following insignia: ,
Two Indoor cards, two outdoor
cards, two hangers, ten large stickers,
20 small stickers, 20 consumers stick
ers and 30 consumers statement of co
operation. Apparently each employor
will present the consumers statement
of co-operation to his employes and
then present them with their Insignia
at least, that Is the belief at pres
ent. Consumers wiu agree to patron
ize only places showing the "Blue
Eagle" sign, and In turn will have a
small "Blue Eagle" badge. Consumers
blanks also may be obtained at the
post office.

In the meantime, the retail mtw
ohantfi division committee of the
chamber of commerce reported pro
gress In drawing up codes for the lo
cal business men, and further state

Thousands were signing agreements
in Portland as well as In all other
cities of the northwest and the United
States. Four thousand Portland busi
ness firms met last night and signed
agreements. Also a vigilance com
mittee of 100 was appointed to see
that no "slackers" break from the
lino of employer who are doing what
they can to aid recovery by adding
workers, shortening hours and in
creasing wages. The committee will
see that all who display the "Blue
Eagle" will livo up to tho provisions
of fair hours and a fair wage. '
