Touted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt as "the most important and far-reaching ever enacted by the American Congress," the National (Industrial) Recovery Act (NRA) was passed by Congress on June 16, 1933. That New Deal law was designed to promote recovery and reform, encourage collective bargaining for unions, set up maximum work hours (and sometimes prices) and minimum wages, and forbid child labor in industry.
For a short time, Title I of the famous NRA prescribed the drafting and establishment of a code system of fair competition for every sort of industry. Those codes had the force of law and were exempt from antitrust provisions.
By August 10, 1933 approximately 70 percent Camden's businesses had signed on to the N.R.A. blanket code. With the signing of 190 business on August 9th alone, the total number of Camden business participating had reached 1749. Over 2000 business would be signed up in short order.
Camden county businesses reported in the Camden Courier-Post to have signed on to the code in August of 1933 are as follows:

Drive in Camden
County Forges Ahead as More Firms Sign
The N.R.A. recovery drive in the Camden area forged ahead on three fronts yesterday.
Clinton L. Bardo, president of the New York Shipbuilding Company, was appointed chairman of the N.RA. campaign committee for Camden city and county.
Two hundred and eight additional employers in Camden and vicinity pledged their aid to the drive yesterday by signing N.RA. certificates of compliance at Camden post office.
Thirty Camden merchants met at Hotel Walt Whitman to organize a retail division of the Camden County Chamber of Commerce with the hope that a united front will better enable retailers to protest non-cooperation of N.R.A. merchants or any situation created whereby specific codes might harm one or more businesses in the city.
The total number of N.RA. employers in the Camden area is now 1342. Among the firms signing the recovery pledge yesterday were the Progressive Garment Company, 60, employees; S. J. Huntzinger Company, 20; Sinnickson Chew and Sons Company, 16; American National Health and Accident Association, 15, and New Sanitary Laundry, 14.
Bardo Is Named
Other members of the N.R.A. campaign committee will be named by Bardo, he announced, in time to participate in their first meeting Friday at 3 p. m. in the offices of the Camden County Chamber of Commerce in Broadway-Stevens Building.
The committee of public, civic and industrial officials was requested to be formed by Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, National Recovery Act administrator, in a telegram to Loyal D. Odhner, chamber executive secretary, several weeks ago.
The purpose of the committee, Odhner explained, is to make a city, and county-wide canvass of all in-dustries and stores to discover whether they have signed the pledge. Furthermore they will also canvass the neighborhoods to determine if possible whether re-employment of men and women out of work is going on as rapidly as expected by N.R.A. officials.
The offer of the merchants to organize a retail division for the local Chamber of Commerce was made in a resolution which will be presented immediately to the board of directors of the chamber for action. Sig Schoenagle, president of the Central Association of Merchants of Camden, presided at the meeting.
Merchants Explain Hours
Considerable discussion developed over the limitation of retail store hours as provided in the President's recovery agreement. S. Lester and Joseph Fuhrman, Broadway merchants, declared some smaller stores were under the impression they could not remain open beyond the 52 hours prescribed as minimum and at the same time justify display of the "Blue Eagle" symbol.
Both of these merchants said there were no restrictions under the recovery act other than a statement that a store must not operate less than 52 hours and further provided any store did not work its employees more than 40 hours a week.
Opening for longer than the minimum number of hours set forth in the recovery act, in their opinion, was thoroughly in harmony with the President's drive since it would create work for more people to complete all store service over and above the minimum of 52 hours.
"Many of the smaller stores," said Lester, "have for years extended service beyond the minimum of 52 hours. Many of their customers live outside the city and are used to these long-established hours of service. It would be not only a hardship to reduce suddenly these hours of service, but it would also keep out of employ-ment extra help that will be needed for the extra hours."
Retail Code Outlined
Odhner in response to several Camden merchants as to the statement he would make covering the N.R.A. regulations, said;
"A merchant in order to display a 'Blue Eagle' must pay his employees not less than the minimum wage prescribed by the code,
"Nor must he keep his store open less than the minimum hours prescribed by the code.
"All agreements between merchants of various communities regarding opening and closing hours are purely voluntary and are not required by the code.
"If those agreements on opening and closing hours are designed either to cut down the number of workers in the stores or to avoid taking on additional employees, then these agreements are a direct violation of the spirit of the code.
"If on the other hand these agreements are made to eliminate a chaotic condition in the trade and will result in the hiring of additional employees and in increased wages, they are within the spirit of the act and should be supported."

Under the agreement, the stores will be opened from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thurs-days and from 8 a.m.to 9 p. m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
Under provisions of the adopted code, no shoe repair shop owner shall employ his labor for more than 48hours per week, no repair shop shall remain open less than 52 hours each week and no shops will be opened on Sundays or legal holidays,
The code also sets up a list of minimum wages.
Under its provisions, manager or journeymen would receive $25 a week; bench men would be paid $21 a week; finishers would get $18 a week and unskilled apprentices would be paid $12 weekly.
A list of minimum prices are included in the code.

Enlist in N.R.A., Bringing Total Here Up to
1890;
CITIZENS OFFER TO AID
Three Camden industrial firms employing nearly 700 persons were among 141 employers becoming members of the National Recovery Administration here yesterday.
A flood of letters received at the office of the Camden County Chamber of Commerce revealed yesterday that Camden's citizenry is anxious and willing to co-operate with the newly formed National Recovery Act Campaign Committee of Camden County.
Committee Meets Today
Some of the communications sought appointments to the committee selected by Chairman Clinton L. Bardo, president of the New York Shipbuilding Co. Others offered assistance and co-operation in any manner.
"Men and women from every line of endeavor- some rich and others humble- big and little storekeepers are among the letter writers," Executive Secretary Loyal D. Odhner of the Chamber revealed.
"All want to be of some service in America s fight to regain business and employment equilibrium."
The letters will be turned over to Bardo and his committee which holds its first meeting at 3 p. m. today in the Chamber of Commerce offices in Broadway-Stevens Building.
Auto Dealers Adopt Code
A code to govern their business has been adopted by retail automobile dealers of Camden and vicinity who met in the office of H. Morgan Hatch, head of the New Jersey Auto & Supply Co., 38 North Delaware Avenue.
The meeting was addressed by Odhner, who explained the meaning of the act and told how it functions.
The code adopted by the automobile men follows the blanket code for the automobile business, with a few exceptions.
According to Hatch, all local automobile associations in New Jersey are to prepare their own codes and then send them to the state organization.
From the various codes submitted, a general code for the automobile dealers of New Jersey will be worked out, which in turn will be submitted to the National Automobile Dealers Association. The national group, in turn, will submit a code for automobile dealers throughout the country to General Johnson.
William F. Eddelman, secretary-treasurer of the John H. Mathis Shipbuilding Company of this city, has been named secretary of the Delaware River and Bay Shipbuilders and Ship Repairs group, organized to co-operate with the National Recovery Administration. There are about 30 firms in the group.

Blue Eagle's Total Grows Here to 2,170
Camden Courier-Post — August 15, 1933
Blue Eagle's Total Grows Here to 2170
Forty-three additional employers in the Camden area signed the president's re-employment agreement at the Camden post office yesterday, bringing the total of N.R.A. employers locally to 2170, The 43 were::
With 161 employers becoming members of the N.R.A. yesterday by signing the President's Re-employment Agreement at Camden post office, indications are that all employers in the Camden area will have enlisted under the Blue Eagle by Saturday. Members now total 2281. New members are:
The N.R.A. codes were to be designed by a group or association that would not impose inequitable restrictions on one company over another, not limit membership in the group drafting the code, nor would the code be designed to promote monopolies or to eliminate or oppress small enterprises. It also would not discriminate against small enterprises, and lastly it "will tend to effectuate the policy of this title."
The
Background: The National Recovery Act
president was given the executive power to not only approve the code — essentially giving the President the authority to make laws, which is the job of the Congress — but also he could impose his own conditions on those codes, make additions or deletions to them prior to approving them, and was free to write codes himself where none existed.
A New Deal product of meetings among such Brain Trust advisors as Raymond Moley, big business leaders, and labor unionists, the NRA illustrated Roosevelt's willingness to work with, rather than against, business interests.
The Brain Trust was a group of academics put together to carve out the policies of the New Deal prior to Roosevelt's inauguration. Members of the group were Raymond Moley, an American journalist and public figure; Rexford Tugwell, Adolf Berle of Columbia University, attorney Basil O'Connor, and later, Felix Frankfurter of Harvard Law School. Most of those men served in official posts during Roosevelt's presidency; they never met as a group after his inauguration.
The NRA was part of President Roosevelt's first 99 days, which produced 16 pieces of relief legislation in 1933, including the following:
In general, American industrialists did not particularly like NRA because it didn't allow them to raise prices or cut wages once they were in recovery. Although Roosevelt could not force industrialists to sign codes, he would withhold NRA's popular blue eagle seal of approval as a bargaining tool to persuade businesses to adopt them. These seals were to be found in shop windows all over the country and represented businesses' cooperation with the government to rebuild the nation's economy.
Criticism began to mount when it was shown that larger industrial manufacturers were shaping codes to suit their own priorities — excluding labor, consumers, or the overextended NRA staff. Critics also noted that some NRA codes actually limited production and therefore penalized consumers by sustaining prices.
The NRA went through several reorganizations during 1934, when program director General Hugh Johnson was replaced by a five-person board and was reluctantly extended for another year by Congress in May 1935.
Title I of the NRA was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court on May 27, 1935 in a sweeping and unanimous ruling after hearing the A.L.A. Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States case, in which the Schechter Corp. allegedly disobeyed the requirements of a "Code of Fair Competition for the Live Poultry Industry of the Metropolitan Area in and about the City of New York."
In that Roosevelt-approved code, the company had failed to observe provisions fixing minimum wages and maximum hours for employees, permitted customers to select individual chickens, sold unfit chicken, were not in compliance with inspection regulations, had dealings with slaughterers and dealers not licensed under the code, and made false reports.
The Supreme Court found that the provisions in the code were not a valid exercise of federal power. The court argued that Congress had given too much control to the presidency to issue whatever edicts it chose. The act also gave Congress excessive power to regulate interstate commerce and "invades the power reserved exclusively to the States." The court ruled that Congress did not have the right to dictate to the states wages and hours worked, because those factors affect costs and prices and therefore indirectly affect interstate commerce, "nor in the fact that failure of some States to regulate wages and hours diverts commerce from the States that do regulate them."
The court also argued that there were no standards set for any trade, industry, or activity and therefore could not prescribe "rules of conduct" to be used when drafting these codes.
By the time Title I was overturned, more than 700 industries had been codified, four million unemployed people had been absorbed into industrial jobs, and nearly 23 million workers were under codes. It was largely felt that by the time it was overturned, Title I had run its course and was no longer needed.
The Works Project Administration (WPA), which was the second part of the NRA, was allowed by the court to stand. The WPA went on to spend billions on reforestation, flood control, rural electrification, water works, sewage plants, school buildings, slum clearance, student scholarships, and other projects.
Later the National Labor Relations Board and the Rural Electrification Administration were passed by the Congress in order to replace the labor portions of the NRA, but Congress did not bring back the industrial code system.
