OREGON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1933 N R A Enthusiasm Reaches This Community NRA HOURS ANNOUNCED Regulations for Retailers Set 40 and 48 Hour Weeks A million new Job», scattered through retail shops big unit small from end Io end of the country, were held possible today because Hugh S. Johnson, industrial admin* Istrator, had ordered into iinnieil- iate effect hour-reducing, wage- 1 uising agreements presented by the natiou's storekeepers. The food dealers, by Johnson's order, w ill have a 48-hour work week, the rest just 40. The grocer clerks w ill have an eight hour day i s< epi the day just before holidays, and an additional 12 duys each six months when they may work 10 hours. The scule of minimum wages for food deniers is $15 in cities over 500.000; $14.50, between 250,000 and MOJMOi $14 between 2,500 and 150,- 000. The non-food retailers hail u minimum scale a dollar lower with a further $1 reduction for the 15 southern stairs and the District of Columbia. The same regional reduc tion applies to the food dealers. Must Stay Open 52 Hours Besides the wage terms, the two codes called for maintenance of a minimum of 52 hours operation un less recent practice was lower, and they bar all child labor except those over 14 for three hours bet wren 7 a. m. and 7 p. m. The grocery code was approved by the Nationul Association of Re tail Grocers, the National Grocers' association, the national retailer- owned wholesale grocers, the Na tional Grocery Chain Store asso ciation and food chain store distri butors and voluntary groups. Il provided that no one should work more than eight hours in any single day except on the day pre rid in g holidays, hut pci m t ed nr additional 12 hours figured over a six months' period. Stores would be reipiired to remain open 52 hours week minimum, except if they were open less titan that before July 1, 1933, in whieh case the minimum would apply. U te pay for apprentices with less than six-months experience and be tween HI and IK years of age the minimum wage is $13, w ith six- mouths experience but over IK years of age, $14. O nly T em p o rary Code The two agreements for retailers ond food dealers w ill be in force only temporarily, pending hearings nt which their terms may be revised before becoming permanent. But those who subscribe to them now may obtain the blue eagle poster of N. R. A. just like those who comply with the voluntary wage-raising, hour-reducing presidential agree ment. Increasing thousands were sign ing the latter. Today the postoffices ull over the country began distri buting in earnest the distinctive in signia which go to those who "do their part.” The grand total of ap plicants was not known but the re covery administration staff at last had added up the telegrams and letters that replied to President Ro osevelt's national appeal for coop eration. Fifty thousand personal messages were In that stack. T h irty thousand telegrams, twenty thousand letters. Not all were pledges to aid the pre sidential program, but dissenters mid cranks were a svintl minority. Equally important was the in creasing momentum in dealing with actual, concrrle codes of fair com petition for individual industries. The stack of four or five hundred which accumulated at the offices here hns been digested, reduced to those which are in shape for hand ling, and are being moved up to the hearing stage.

Already four business houses, Drake’s grocery, Ham’s Market, the Gold H ill Supply company, and the Chas. Kell garage are displaying the "Sign of the Blue Eagle,” which states, “We Do Our Part,” and it is expected that others w ill follow soon. Industries Get In Line The Beaver Portland Cement plant, although they have not re turned their employer’s agreement Io the local postoffice for registra tion, have indicated their w illin g ness to cooperate. Last Friday eve ning a mass meeting of their em ployees was called, and provisions of Ihe industrial hour and wage code were explained. Tonight, the employees are holding their own mass meeting, and w ill appoint repreaenlativrs who w ill be their spokesmen in working out a satis factory schedule with the employ ers.

Grants Pass retail establishments have set their hours as 8:30 to 5:30 during week days and 8:30 to 0 o’clock on Saturdays, according to a decision made at a meeting of 200 local merchants last Friday. These hours w ill apply to food stores, the same as to merchandise houses.
