History;
The National Recovery Administration (NRA) was a federal agency set up under the National Industrial Recovery Act passed by congress in June, 1933, the heart of the great depression. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt saw the Act as an important step in his efforts to lead the country out of the worst economic downturn in history. The purpose of the Act was to relieve industrial unemployment by shortening the work day, increasing wages and eliminating unfair trade practices. The Act gave the Agency too much power to make its own regulations according to the Supreme Court which ruled it unconstitutional in 1935. “Congress cannot delegate legislative power,” they said. Without the power to make rules, it became toothless and was shut down at the end of 1935. Any box depicting the NRA Blue Eagle dates between mid 1933 and mid 1935.
