BACK TO COLLEGE
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14

Robert M. HutcMns, president

The proposition was put up to
President Roosevelt today in

The president is weighing the

No Price Agreements to be

Twenty 'majors" and other

the inspection and reemployment
department of the local NRA or
ganization, heard plans for their
work outlined last night at the
chamber of commerce by William
P Ellis, fg-eneral" who heads the
city NRA campaign. Ellis served
for Wlndishar, out of town doe to
the tragic death of his brother last
week at McMinnviUe.
Ellis stressed the dutv of each
investigator to spread more infor
mation about NRA to users of the
blue eagle and to ascertain fully
all the pertinent facts about their
mowing of NRA rules before any
action was taken against alleged
violators. He declared emnhatl-
cally that NRA did not seek to
hamper any man who was trying
conscientiously to follow the
president's reemployment agree
ment.
Price Argeements
Not Being Checked
A score of Inquiries concerned
with problems occasioned by va
rious applications of the blanket
code were proposed to Ellis by
various men. The Interpretations
of national NRA headquarters and
local rulings were given by Ellis
to answer the responses.
"It should be distinctly under
stood that until an NRA code for
a specific group is adopted, the
local committee is not In charge
of fixing prices or seeing that
prices are charged once they are
fixed, Ellis said. He said the blan
ket code did provide that inequit
able and exorbitant price Increases
should not be made and this
clause should be looked into as to
its operation by" members of the
local committee. However, specific
price agreements, such as made by
cleaners and dyers here or bar
bers, do not fall under, the local
committee's enforcement power.
