Vtove Seen as due to Farm

President Also Starts on
Plan to Insure Prices
. Not Hiked Unduly
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. (JP)
unaer me pressure or adverse
farm sentiment, NRA today pull
ed ont of the country's Tillages
and small towns, and announced
a protectee chain of local tri
bunals to keep merchants from
hiking 'prices too hfgb.
'This first major change in the
Industrial recotery program, was
; taken under an executive order
;by President Roosevelt, forecast
by a single sentence in his Sun
day night address to the nation.
An exception under the order
was that chain stores, wherever
located, will remain under code
regulations. Also email factories,
those doing interstate business,
and those employing more than
five people still have NRA watch
ing over them even in the other
wise exempt towns of 2500 or
less. .
The order's Issuance coincided
with promulgation of the retail
trade code which emerged with a
price control provision stripped
of the ten per cent markup
fought by farmer and consumer
representatives alike, but so
phrased as to give the merchant
substantially the same protection
against destructive price cutting
by competitors. : -At
the same time also the
president had made public his
own definition of the employer's
right to hire and fire a worker !
on a basis of merit, saying this j
- was quite legal so long as not
used as a subterfuge to oust
union men, but it should sot be
written into a code.
Recognizing the weight of, farm
sentiment against the price in
creases NRA has caused, Hugh
B. Johnson, NRA executiTCyissued
a lengthy statement on the Pres
ident's order which said that while
. "it would be a tragic folly to tarn
millions of the reemployed back
into the streets on the argument
that thus the cost of living could
be reduced," the experience j of
four months showed the retreat
from small towns-could be accom
plished without loss to thepro
gram. Reemployment and wage in
creases in the exempted establish
ments he said were apt sufficient
to offset the hardship caused the
merchants and the farmer.
Johnson also spoke in behalf of
the price control plan of the retail
code:
"In the last four years, four
hundred thousand small retailers
have been driven out of business
and it is bitterly complained that
this so-called 'loss leader" was
partly to blame. For these reasons
the retail code provides that it is
an unfair practice to sell any ar
ticle for less than Its invoice cost
pins at least a portion of the wages
paid In the store.
"This Is frankly an experiment.

Their spokesman was Ralph

The truck owners demanded
that they receive a reply by noon
today, with the alternativa that
mandamus proceedings would be
filed in the courts to compel
Thomas to enforcelmpartlally the
entire law. Herbert Hauser, state
supeantendent of transportation,
said he would relay the demand
to Thomas, who is at Klamath

Owners. Inc., followed closely
upon the recent announcement by
Thomas that he had reached an
agreement with the Oregon Truck

allowed to pay a $10 fee cover

of the S30 fee required in the"

Staehli declared that Thomas'
action was discriminatory against
