NRA Code Effects on Textile Jobs and Wages Discussed
The piece summarizes early estimates on how the first NRA textile code affected employment and payrolls between July 15 and August 15, with textiles showing mixed results and pay not keeping pace with employment. It notes index figures around 101.4 to 103.5 and payrolls rising from 747 to 87.8, while cautioning that the data are old and September could show declines as textile output falls. It also touches on living cost indices under Roosevelt and questions inflation’s impact on NRA, plus Secretary Icks’s blame-shifting over public works delays and Capitol Police leadership changes.
