The goal of the NRA was to establish codes of fair practice in labor and industry. . NRA membership was voluntary, however businesses that did not display the eagle were very often boycotted. Businesses that supported the NRA put the symbol in their shop windows and on their packages, but they did not always comply with regulations. |
