PRICE ADVANCES
NRA Chief Aims to Head Ofl
Runaway Market Threats
Reasonable Increases
Are Necessary Under Plan
By JAMES COPK.
Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON. Aug. 22 (AP)
Coal's code of competition apparently
delayed for another day the national
recovery administration centered its
attention today upon retailers with
a reiterated demand that prices be
kept within bounds of the upward
trend.
Hugh S. Johnson, the administrator,
went before the retailers at the out
set of the hearing on a retail trade
code to urge that merchanta take ac
tive steps to prevent increased mer
chandise costs.
Promise Support.
The retail trade waa urged by John
son to resist price Increases In the
near future from Jobbers who sup
ply them with their goods.
"I say," Johnson said, "resent these
price Increases and we will support
you."
The recovery administrator asserted
so far as speculative price rises were
concerned his administration consid
ered It "our duty to see that there Is
no runaway market."
He said the national Industrial 're
covery act' would Increase prices to
meet new costs Imposed by compli
ance with the trade charters, but Just
becaaue of tnla "there la no reason
to go way beyond reason. If you
do this you Just kill the goose that
lays the golden egg. The house that
we are trying to build will collapse
like a -house of cards."
.Coal Code Nought, ', -
He turned Immediately back, to the
endeavor to seek ftnal action on 'a
code for the bituminous coal Industry.
At the office of Deputy Adminis
trator R. W. Lea, conferences con
tinued on the code for the automo
bile Industry, In which the question
of maintaining open shop policies by
code declaration was at issue.
Donald Rlchberg, general counsel,
lias taken the position that no reser
vations to the industrial control laws
grant of a - free right to organize
labor unions . was possible, but a
somewhat different attitude has been
taken by Johnson. Indications today
were that the question remained un
settled. "To Probe Need.
Behind Johnson's plea for keeping
prices down there was being shaped
a thorough Investigation of the ef
fect upon retail prices of increased
payrolls under the NRA and other
price-raising elements of the new
laws, to determine whether the con
sumer was being given a square deal
by manufacturers and merchants.
Both the newly-created central sta
tistical hoard -of the government and
the NRA'a own consumers advisory
board were occupied with the task.

ACT IS ARGUED IN
SALEM, Aug. 22. (P) Although
theoretically on vacation, four mem
bers of the state supreme court to
day heard arguments on the motion
for a preliminary restraining order
against enforcement of the produce
dealers and peddlera act, passed by
the 1933 legislature, until the state
court could pass upon the constitu
tionality of the law.
Chief Justice J. L. Rand and Jus
tices J. U. Campbell. H. H. Belt and
P. R. Kelly heard arguments of Gus
Moser and Richard Slat Tor the
plaintiff In the case entitled Cancllla
et al. vs. the Department of Agri
culture. Assistant Attorney-General
Willis Moore ergued for the defense.
Circuit Judge Jsmes W. Crawford
of Multnomah county held the act
constitutional In lower court, from
which the plaintiffs will appeal. The
motion today was for an order to
prevent arrests pending the outcome
of the appeal .which will be heard
next month."
Plaintiff's attorneys argued the act,
known as H. B. 221, waa unconstitu
tionally passed by the legislature, and
that the measure signed by the gov
ernor was not the one passed by the
house and senate. The bill, he de
clared, was recalled from the gov
ernor and the amendment affecting
foreign peddlers stricken out.
