Recovery Act Extension Asked By Underwear Firms
By A. F. of L. News Service.

Philadelphia, Pa.-A strong appeal for the extension of the national industrial recovery act was made by members of the Underwear Institute at their annual meeting here. The action was taken despite considerable criticism of some features of the NRA by a number of speakers.

The resolution stated that removal of the codes at present would "result in a downward trend in business," and said that continuance of the NIRA was asked because "it has beneficially reduced working hours, increased wages and eliminated child labor."
