DEFINITE SHARE
Chairman Harder Says Busi
ness Men Here Living Up
to Principles in Order to
Speed Economic Health
The following statement regarding
the work of the N. R. A. program in
Medford and Jackson county wu is
sued by B. B. Harder, chairman of
tho executive committee In charge
here:
"Medford and Jackson county ure
doing their part in the N, R. A. pro
gram In living up to the principles
of the N. R. A. a plan which is de
signed to put five million back on
the payroll In a ahort time. Wnen
five million men are back on pay
rolls. 20,000.000 people (awumlng
four to each wage earner's family)
will suddenly be placed In position to
buy the normal necessities of life.
That means that the total trade vol
ume of the nation will, upon the
complete acceptance of this plan, be
lifted by from 10 to 20 percent.
Hue Definite Share
"Medfoid has a definite share In
thta Increased prosperity to the ex
tent that It participates In the plan,
so there Is a responsibility on every
citizen here to cooperate to the ut
most to make this gigantic national
Idea a complete success. Every em
ployer and every consumer has a def
inite responsibility to assume.
"Under the N. R. A. the employer
hat a definite responsibility as the
plan calls for every employer to
shorten hours of labor so as to make
room for more employees.
"Each Industry will before long
adopt Its own code which will fix the
increased labor obligations to be as
sumed by ajl firms associated with
that particular industry. Until that
time employers are expected to live
up to the terms of the president's
Reemployment Agreement, sometimes
referred to as the Blanket Code, and
meet the hours and wages establish
ed in that agreement.
Cooperation Needed
"The success of the N. R. A. there
fore calls for the full cooperation of
every employer, and It is to the em
ployer's self-interest to do this be
cause with more people working, with
bigger payrolls, an Increased market
wlli be opened 'ip for his goods.
Every dollar spent for Increased pay
rolt will return many fold as business
flows frem a consuming public, once
more able to buy to supply Its un
filled needs.-
"Practically every employer In
Medford and Jackson county has
signed the agreement and except in
a few cases have lived up to the
agreement. The few Infractions that
have been checked are due to mis
understandings rather than to delib
erate evasions.
Consumer Has Purt
"The responsibility upon the con
sumer should also-tbe met Id order
thrt the N. R. A. can be an unquali
fied success. Every Individual, man
and woman, who buys anything owes
It to himself and his community and
to the nation, to buy only from those
employers .who have taken' the'-increased
burden of Increasing payrolls
to bring back prosperity.
"This is to 'the self-Interest of the
ooiisumer because no citizen can fall
to share in this added prosperity. It
will reflect Itself In Increased values
for everything he owns. It will make
his present position more secure by
reversing the process of deflation. So
very consumer should sign the con
sumer's pledge, which commits him
to do his part In this great national
economic experiment.
"The duty of every citizen of Med
ford and Jackson county Is therefore
plain. The president, has aald:
" 'On the basts of this simple
principle of everybody doing
tilings together, we are starting
out on this nation-wide attack
on unemployment. It will suc
ceed If our people understand It
in the big Industries, In the
little shops, In the great cities
and In the small villages. There
ia nothing complicated about It
and there Is nothing particularly
new In the principle. It goes
back to the ba&lc Idea of society
and of the nation Itself . that
people acting tn a group can ac
complish things which no Indi
vidual acting alone could ven
hope to bring about.'
Medford Doing Part
"Medford Is doing its part in this
great plan. It has never fallod when
the nation called and It will not fall
now. The big majority of consumers
have signed the consumer's pledge
but at the time the house-to-house
cauvsas was made, many were away
from their homes. These persons are
asked to sign a card at the chamber
of commerce Immediately so that a
final report can be given to the V. R.
A. that Medford has gone over 100
percent.'

BUTTER STEADY
PORTLAND. Ore.. Sept. 29. (AP)
Everywhere In the country there Is
an Increasing and mucA better than
seasonable call for turkeys. This ap
plies not only to new crop but to
old fowls, a most unusual affair as
regards the latter considering the
extreme lateness of the season.
Demand for turkeys has surprised
everyone In the trade. For several
weeks past there has been Increas
ing call for supplies both locally and
for shipment to the south and east.
Prices have been strengthened as
a result of the greater call than sup
plies, although some were still try
ing to buy them at lower prices.
Growers generally were unwilling
to market supplies even though cur
rent values appear in line with their
price Ideas.
Market for butter was showing a
generally steady tone locally but
without price changes. Sales within
the immediate territory appeared
heavier as a result of the low prices.
While there appeared seadlness In
all offerings of fresh eggs, top grade
was strong as a result of continued
demand from the Atlantic seaboard
trade.
While springers and broilers were
scarce and firmly priced in the live
chicken trade, other fowls were in
clined to show more or less dullness,
although prices were unchanged.
