Grocer Head Appeals to President Over NRA Codes
Maryland retailers chief Joha M. Pohlhaus urged President Roosevelt that small grocers cannot operate under the NRA code with price cutting by large and chain stores. He called for a policy requiring grocers to charge at least 15 percent above cost to cover overhead. Independent merchants say higher prices are needed to offset rivals. In a separate note, the First National Bank of St. Mary’s, now under conservatorship, plans to reopen Monday despite the banking holiday.
