Roosevelt signed the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA), opening the way for cooperation between the federal government and businesses in order to stimulate the economy during the Great Depression. Antitrust laws were suspended, and companies in every industry were to agree to a code of competition that governed prices, wages, and business practices. The NIRA created the National Recovery Administration (NRA), headed by Oklahoman Hugh S. Johnson. The NRA administered the code-writing process and the enforcing of 541 approved codes. Through intense publicity campaigns consumers were encouraged to do business with companies that displayed the Blue Eagle as a sign of their cooperation with the NRA.
