Talk:National Recovery Administration

Problem
This: "About 23,000,000 people worked under the NRA fair code. However, violations of codes became common and attempts were made to use the courts to enforce the NRA." is verbatim from this page:. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.27.59.173 (talk) 05:49, 7 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I was about to say that. This page lacks detail AND the detail it has is copied! 75.45.224.208 (talk) 01:48, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Bad Link
This doesn't go to the right place:

Bias
This article is negative in tone. There are plenty of references to the NRA being statist/fascist, and references to economically conservative sources criticizing the NRA, but there is no counterpoint praise from the stand point of the pro-labor camp, etc. This counterpoint must be added to make this a credible article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.245.165.13 (talk) 19:40, 20 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Dear user at IP96.245.165.13: I just ran a quick search, and there are no references in the article at all to the NRA being "statist/fascist." Those terms do not even appear in the article. Please clarify. Famspear (talk) 19:44, 20 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Oops, I need to correct myself. There are some mentions of the word "fascism." I had searched only for "fascist." Famspear (talk) 19:46, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

not enough info
This phrase "Jack Magid was jailed for violating the "Tailor's Code" by pressing a suit for 35 rather than NRA required 40 cents." has no reference and needs to be qualified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.254.115.230 (talk) 13:33, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Jacob Maged wasn't simply fined for not going along with the NRA, he was put in jail and fined. Major difference that needs correcting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.29.110.225 (talk) 17:40, 4 September 2012 (UTC) Source: "tugwell Vs Maged, NY Herald Tribune 4/23/1934; Jailing of Tailor Called Necessary, no date, Borah Papers LC — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.29.110.225 (talk) 17:44, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Richard Armour
I previously deleted the "Satire" section because it contained only a reference to a comment by Richard Armour and did not appear notable to the subject of the article. I was quickly reverted by another editor so I'm adding a tag the article in the hopes that someone can either show how it is notable, or build some consensus to simply remove it. My basic premise is that Armour's comment is no way relevant to the article and basically amounts to trivia. CarbonX (talk) 23:34, 28 December 2010 (UTC)


 * if Armour had written a book or short story on NRA then it's notable, but not a one liner that never got picked up by anyone else. Rjensen (talk) 01:26, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

"Destructive competition"?
The article uses, but does not define, the phrase "destructive competition."

Probably because a sensible definition does not exist. When firms compete for business on the basis of lower prices or higher quality, there are myriad benefits to consumers, and no drawbacks.

The only possible way that competition could be considered "destructive" is that it forces inefficient firms to either become more efficient, or stop operating. But that too is a good thing. 50.198.139.201 (talk) 16:49, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Blue Eagle
While the Blue Eagle article has some decent sources, all but a few sentences of prose are redundant to the National Recovery Administration article. Suggest it become a section of said article. p b  p  14:27, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * good idea. Rjensen (talk) 14:41, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Both student Ghuttinger and professor Jannekenls have made substantial edits to the Blue Eagle section of the article, fleshing out details for what the logo meant to consumers and how both businesses and consumers used it. — Preceding undated comment added 14:48, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
