N.R.A. IN AMERICA

What Will Take Its Place? By Telegraph—Press Association. WELLINGTON, June 24. “Erotn the point of view of the big manufacturer, the wiping out of the N.R.A. in the United States was one of the worst things that could possibly have happened,” said Mr David Talimer, of Auckland, who returned by the Maunganui from a business trip. ‘‘So far as the small employer is concerned, the position is different. He has had a hard time of it, being unable to compete, but may now come into his own again.” Sig business concerns had been working along N.R.A. lines and wages were practically stabilised, he said., Strikes were not necessarily the result of the Supreme Court having ruled out the N.R.A. President Roosevelt came into power with various pledges. He promulgated socialist legislation and allied himself practically with Mr Green, head of the Trade Union. Wages had been kept up and hours shortened when the N.R.A. ruled. It was hard to know what President Roosevelt and his party would be able to work out to circumvent the difficult position that had arisen. Labour was definitely out now to compel President Roosevelt to carry out a scheme of higher wages and shorter hours. Tiie N.R.A. appeared to be finished. It was just a question now of what would be brought forward in its place.
