HE""-'. ' 1 Wi DO OUR PART the scope and purpose of the president's emergency ir. re-etyployment , >v .,, campaign ^ Km .V c '}' ,iU1 \ The President's Emergency Re-employment Campaign may bo described briefly as a plan to add from 5,000,000 to ?.000,000 persons to the nation's payrolls within the next six weeks or so, through agreements made with the President of the United States by some 5,000,000 concerns or individuals, employing two or more parsons each. In order that this number of jobs may be made available, it will be necessary, of <;ourse, for employers in many cases to shorten working hours. The plan also provides for certain minimum wage scales which nlso'in many cases will mean added la!>or costs for the employer. The President's Agreement; however, includes a pledge of cooperation from the consuming public, and it is thus anticipated that the employer, while undertaking a larger expense as the direct result of his agreement with, the President, will gain added patronage as the just reward of his public spirited attitude. \ The fact also is to be borne in mjyl^hat wheriMdl employers act together to put people hack on their payrolls or to raise wages, no employer, as the President himself has pointed out, "will suffer because //it- relative level of competitive cost will advance by the same amount j(>r (ill." It is4o ho understood that this plftn is supplementary to the plan of code adoption by various industrial and trade groups which has for its purpose the elimination of unfair competition,, the establishment of nmre equable rewards for labor, the spread of employment and the control of production. This plan for speeding business recovery, launched under the provisions of the National Recovery Act passed by the last Congress, is rapidly being made effective, and there will be no let-up on the drive to make its adoption widespread. The President's Emergency Re employment plan will bridge time ami bring the nation out of the depression more rapidly than if tho code adoption plan were depended upqn exclusively. The President's Agreement also covers many business groups that would not be amen- able to any of the code arrangements. And what is still more important, perhaps, the President's Emcr? gency Re employment campaign carries certain psychological values that are as priceless as patriotism at this juncture of our economic history. The President himself made this quite clear in his recent radio , address to the nation when he said: "On the basis of 'ihis simple prin* ciple of everybody doing things together, we are starting out on this nationwide attack on unemployment. It will succeed if our people understand it?in the big industries, in the little shops, in the great cities and in the small villages. There is nothing complicated about it and there is nothing particularly new in the principle. It goes back to the basic idea of society, and of the Nation itself, that people acting in a group can accomplish things which, no individual acting alone could ever hope to bring about." Thus we have all the power and potency of mass attack directed along sound lines of organization and system. Here briefly, is an outline of this organized attack on unemployment: In every community, organizations are formed along military lines, which is fitting enough, because the President's Emergency Re-employment campaign is Uncla Sam's war on unemployment and the nation is rallying to the colors just as loyally as though we were actually engaged in a war; pgainst a foreign foe. " *???.'* The local oommittee is made up of the active heads of the leading bus iness and civic organizations, and includes also the mayor. These committees in the thousands of cities and towns throughout the country were formed following telegrams and letters sent by General Johnson to the presidents of Chambers of Commerce or similar trade bodies in every section of the United States. These local committees elect a general to have charge of the city campaign and a lieutenant general who is a woman. The general selects three colonels, each of whom is to take over a certain part of the campaign work. For example, Colonel No. 1 lias charge of the "man-power" or organization department. Under his direction block-to-block canvasses will be made to check up on compliance with the President's Agreement, and to make a survey of the Unemployed, as to adaptability by experience as to trades and indus. tries and thus be able more readily to help in the processes of assimilation of labor by expanding industries. Colonel No. 2, briefly, has charge of newspaper publicity and kindred activities; and Colonel No. 3 has the training and direction of public speakers under his charge. Each of these three colonels has seven or mor^ major's on his staff, and each major has about the same number of eaptains. Each oaptain has seven or more field workers. AU of the local organizations are, of C' urse, constantly supplied with educational and inspirational material of all kinds from the National Recovery Administration in Washington, f ilially tons and tons of printed matter has been shipped to every ^nd corner of the country. The N.R.A. emblem, known popularly as the Blue Eagle, is one of th?' most interesting and vital features of the campaign. All employers v - sign the President's Agreement are entitled to display the Blue 1 .-le with the initials N.R.A. and the words "We Do Our Part." y :< hants, manufacturers and all others who have the right to display U * in.-ignia by reason of their having complied with the Presidents A ment, are permitted to hang it on their wajls, or in their windows, n trucks and cars, and, if they so desire, to stamp it on their prod' - '.n merchandise. It is, in fact, the desire of the Recovery Admini ' i'lrMfiat all make liberal use of this badge of patriotism. Any person in the United States who wishes to cooperate in tho -i lent's Emergency Re employment Campaign and he considered as ' nihcr of the N.R.A. may go to the authorized establishment in his j ihtv and sign a statement of cooperation as follows: "I will cooperate in re-employmcnt by supporting and patron 'ig employers and workers who are members of N.R.A.' \ny such signer will then he given and may thereafter use tho nia of consumer membership in N.R.A. ' ' cry phase of tho progress of this mighty campaign will he flashed i' ' ie newspapers of the country and announced constantly over tho f ' In this way rfveryone will be in a position to know just what tho ' !'.iign is doing from day to day in actually putting.peoplc hack on " payrolls and adding to the mass purchasing power of the country. ^ l.ile, as has been stated, it is desired that liberal use of tho I nia he made by employer and consumers, it is to he remembered . ^ 1 'he official N.R.A. emblem is the property of the United States ' rnment and may not he used or reproduced without authority of ! National Recovery Administration. I he lists o f all employers who sign the President's Agreement are Oed in local post-offices and it is urged that all employers who - not yet signed the agreement do so immediately and deliver them 1 ' ir local post-master. A ith some minor exceptions, the terms of the President s Agree' ' wiih employers is, briefly, as follows: Any employer of a fat tory ' -l'vhanical worker or artisaa must not pay him less than 40 cents ' - >ur or work him more than '$5 hours a week, except that if the "\er were paying less than 40 cents for that kind of 1'ily 15 the employer can pay that rate now, but not lc/s than 30 ' " - an hour. As to all other employes?those on A^veeVV rate--the ' ; -vcr will pay not less than $15 a week in a cityTTf over 500,000 1 Union; or $14.50 a week in cities of betwecrt 250,000 and 500,000; * i I a week in cities between 2.500 and 250,000 population, or $12. ? *"ek in cities of less than 2,500 population, and the employer agrees 1 ' to work this class of workers more than 40 hours a week. As to . ^rtoyes who were getting a higher wage, the employer must not Evince their wages because of a reduction in their hours and he 8^ou Cn.-rally keep the usual pay differences as between the lower and the ^- her paid employes. And after August 31. he must not work children ,In 'rr 16 years of age. There are, of course, some other rules which aMy to special cases, but the terms of the agreement as .here outlined c?ver the large bulk of cases. . - - ; * fll ~ " * ***,?r! ----- - ' f* ' -W j , . \"> v .
