ipon last week to the Roosevelt re-!

commerce today was centinuing
'its contact with Athens merchants |
ipendmg delivery ' c¢f the voluntary
agreements by the postoffice to
[ morrow,
, R, R. Gunn, president cf the
lc‘wmber of commerce and Joel A.
Wier, secretary, today said the
code which President Roosevelt i€

ling adoption of permanent and
biding agreements by next fall,
should be in the hands of all mer
chants by tomorrow night.
The agreements, having been
signed, will be delivered to the
postoffice by mail or in person,
signers will have their names. post
ed on the woll of honor in the
postoffice. As soon as agreements
are received in Washington, cards
denoting membership NRA, will be
sent to the signers.
The chamber of commerce since
last week has been in touch with
Athens merchants, discussing Gen
|eral Johnson’s request by tele
{gram that the organization lead in
lthe movement for economic recov
ery here, and reports that the
,Spirlt of Athens merchants and
other business men is splendid, in
[dicating that Atwens will be 100
! percent for the prompt signing of
lthe voluntary agreement.
l Gunn Delighted
Commenting on the attitude of
'Athens merchants, President Gunn
|said:
“The chamber of commerce is
[delighted that our survey, begun
|last week upon receipt of General
i.]ohnson‘s telegram urging cooper
iative effort, indicates a spirit of
’willingness, in fact, eagerness in
iAthens merchants to sign the vol
luntary agreement. It has been re
| peatedly pointed out that economic
!recovery depends, in large meas
'ure, upon the success of this pro
‘gram. As Benjamin Franklin told
Ithe American Colonies, prior to the
Revolutionary war, ‘unless we all
hang together, we'll all hang sep
arately.”
It was pointed eut today, the
great movement is primarily for
te purpose cf providing re-employ
ment and better salaries, and not
to raise the prece of commodities,
lThe Roosevelt administration is
watching the rising price level and
l“r’harp practices” will be promptly |
lcensured, pending stronger meas—‘
ures, - The voluntary agreement
pledges the signer “not to increase |
the price of any merchandise sold
after the date hereof over the}
price on July 1, 1933, by more than
is made necessary by actual in—l
crease in production, replacement,
{or invoice costs c¢f merchandise, 01'1
by taxes or other costs resultng
from action taken purSuant to the
Agricultural adjustment Act, since |
July 1, 1933, and, in setting su(-hi
price increases to give full weight |
‘to probable increases in sales|
Ivolume and to refrain from taking
profiteering advantage of the con- |
suming public.” i
The chamber of commerce fur-|
ther pointed out, that in discuss
ing with local merchants, it is in- |
dicated that employment will bel
increased to some extent by adop- |
jtion of the voluntary agreementfl.l
i Several Athens merchants have!
already wired President Roosevelt|
pledging wholehearted support of]
the program.
Athens Retail food dealers'
adopted a code last week and an
nouncement is made by W. G. ’l‘il-l
ler, that Athens plumbers are pre-‘
paring to adopt a code which will
provide for & minimum scale of|
salaries and maximum hours oft
work. |
To Get Instructions ;
The chamber of commerce toda.\"
received a telegram from the NRA |
saying ¢etailed instructions wouldi
be mailed to it before nightfall.

drives—the meatless days and the
gasless Sundays?
Well, here’s Uncles Sam again
asking each one of u 5—125,000,000
of us—to do his or her bit in the
nation’s unprecedented attempt to
bring back prosperity by increas
ing buying power.
The other effort was a mere war.
This is the most ambitious econo
mic experiment in history chort of
Russia’s revelution. It is designed
to put 6,000,000 persons back to
work by Labor Day.
The men who promoted and put
over the Liberty /Loan drives have
returned to Warhington. They de
seribe themselves as “‘sales mana- |

hurl the gospel of recovery at us
through every avenue of publicity
and every vehicle of public opinion.
