NR A Complaints To
Local Committees ■
(By Georgia New»paper Alliance)
Macon, Ga. —Methods of handling
complaints and plans for getting ev

under the Blue Eagle were discussed
by the Georgia Recovery Board
meeting in Macon Tuesday morning.
The Board, headed by Judge A.
H. Freeman of Newnan as chairman,
and with A. Steve Nance of Atlan
ta, secretary, decided to handle all
complaints through local NRA com
mittees when possible. When this
proves impossible complaints will
be handled by the State Board. It
was announced that all having com
plaints should refer them to the
board member in the district in
which the complainant lives. The
district board members are as fol
lows:
First district, J. B. Budreau, Sa
vannah; second, S. J. Faircloth, Quit
man; third, Fred Hollis, Pelham;
fourth, W. C. Jeffries, Columbus;
fifth, Judge A. H. Freeman, New
nan; sixth, A. Steve Nance, Atlan
ta; seventh, W. D. Anderson, Ma
con; eighth, Victor Allen, Buford;
ninth, Milton L. Fleetwood, Car
tersville.
At its Macon meeting Tuesday,
the Georgia Board heard gratifying
reports from board members in all
districts. House-to-house and store
to-store canvassing has been in
progress. Figures are not yet
available for the entire state, but it
was announced that in Atlanta 50,-
000 persons have been given employ- ■
ment since the NRA drive began and
the payrolls of 5,000 business houses
increased $380,000 a month.
The State Board is going to make
every effort to get Georgia in line
300 per cent and is prepared to
adopt stringent tactics should they
be found necessary.
In many parts of the state wom
en’s organizations are active in
getting signatures to consumers’ ■
pledge cards.

Employment Gain
In July Largest in
Thirteen Years
The National Industrial Confer
ence Board, in its monthly survey of
wages, employment and hours of
work, reported an increase of 10.2
per cent in employment in July ov
er June.
This is the largest monthly per
centage gain in employment in the
thirteen years covered by the board’s
studies in this field.
The July advance was shown to
be the fourth successive monthly im
provement, the gain over February
amounting to 19 per cent. Employ
ment gained in July in all except
one of the twenty-five leading in
dustries covered by the survey.
“Even more impressive,” the board
states, “is the increase of 14.1 per
cent in man-hours worked in July
as compared with June. It is possi
ble for employment to advance with
out any increase in volume of work
performed and with a decrease in
average earnings, as was demon
strated during the pediod of wide
spread work-sharing a year ago.
“Now', however, the fact that man
hours have increased by an even
larger percentage than employment
indicates that not only were over
10 per cent more persons employed
in July than in June, in the plants
covered by the survey, but all of
those employed, were working sub
stantially longer hours.”
As a result of longer working
hours, says the board, average week
ly earnings increased from $18.49 in
June to $19.15 in July, an advance
of 3.6 per cent. However, individ
ual purchasing power in July was
almost unchanged from the previous
month, it was explained, because of
a sharp rise in the cost of living.
