...regulations issued yesterday by Mr. Durant concerning solicitation on University property promise to bring a semblance of order into a realm which during past years has been, to say the least, chaotic. The new code of rules, assembled after a wide survey of similar problems in other universities, deserves applause for its unquestionable fairness...
...sustaining NRA "right across the board," the Schechter decision barely placed NRA in the money. The Brothers Schechter operate the two largest jobbing plants in the unsavory $60,000,000-a-year Brooklyn poultry industry. Last year they were indicted on 19 counts for violating the Live Poultry Code. Seventeen counts found the Schechters outside the fair trade provisions of the code because they: 1) sold diseased and uninspected chickens; 2) permitted butchers to select the chickens they wanted killed; 3) filed false reports on their sales volume and price scale. Two other counts accused the Schechters of working their...
...employes. Since the Schechter chickens came from outside New York, the circuit judges found that they constituted merchandise in interstate commerce and were subject to NRA regulation. Upheld, therefore, was the trial court's decision that the Schechters had been guilty of unfair trade practices under the Poultry Code.

New York City authorities were amazed to learn that the price had jumped to 82?. Furthermore, they had received 13 bids from 13 different companies all quoting an identical price. That was more than Mayor LaGuardia could stand. He threw out all bids...
...Babcock of the Trade Commission appeared before the Senate Finance Committee, now taking testimony on a bill to extend NRA, to lay grave charges at the door of the fire hose industry. Rubber companies had conspired to fix the price of fire hose, said he, even before the Rubber Code was signed. "After the code was adopted," Attorney Babcock declared, "the conspiracy was perfected and consummated 100%." New York was not the only victim. When Milwaukee accepted a low bid on fire hoses, it was contended, the bidder suddenly found himself unable to deliver as no big rubber company would...
