t . grocers of Indiana and again
tn a Kveland mass meeting?the adir.ini-trator

h. t?urancp of quick disciplinary
acti n.
"I'o n t trifle with that bird," he i
sa: in his message to the Ohio cky. i
"In .ie u illusion of early days, a !
man may get away with it. But the |
day of reckoning against an aroused
juViic opinion is sure."
Concurrently, President Roosevelt j:
in a statement made public by the
?-covery administration promised '
j-iness men that the federal gov- "
eminent intended to adjust its con- jl,
tracts with them so that no hardships ~
w uld be suffered by those caught
b*. wten legal agreements and rising
[lives.
Mr. Roosevelt called attention to *
h - appeal for cooperation in a gen- t"
ral reemployment agreement, urging
private business men to submit con- tiacts
for future delivery to equitable P
adjustments, and said the governm
nt "as a buyer of goods should be
willing itself to take action similar to
that recommended to private buyers."
Will Ask Pro Visit/us
He explained that wherever adjust- v
nunts could be made under existing h
law rhey would be carried out and w
that congress would be asked to au- a
thorize further provisions at thu next a,
>e--ion. States, municipalities and s,
other local governments were requester
o take similar action.

Johnson's Message
General Johnson, in his message
to the Indiana retail grocers associa- _
tion, said that "In several local com- Ii
munities retai.lera are making joint
agreements to shorten hotfrs."
"This is not in keeping with either
the spirit or the fact as expressed in
the President's reemployment agreement
or in the President's .statement
regarding reemployment of which a
the essence is to effect an increase al
both in reemployment and in wages
to those employed," the administrator lc
said.
"In the presidental agreement the
absolute minimum hours of any store *

HOW TO GET THE
BLUE EAGLE
Here is the way to get the
blue eagle: Secure a copy of the
President's agreement from the
postoffice, if you haven't already
received one. Read it carefully,
and if you can, sign it and mail
the agreement in the addressed
envelope. The small slip enclosed
with the agreement, you
arc to sign and take it to the
postoffice and the postmaster
will then give you your blue eagle
for your store window. But you
sign the President's blanket agree
nrent before you are eligible for
th blue eagle. District headquarters
of the NRA Norfolk,
Va. makes the list for posting in
the postoffice and not the local
postmaster.
