Summary
In the Schechter brothers were first generation Jewish immigrants who originally supported the New Deal and made their living by selling poultry and keeping a kosher butcher business. They were convicted of selling unfit chicken meat to customers. Finding the NRA to be unjust, they; the Chicken, decided that they would fight for their case, against the government; the eagle. The Court sided with the Schechter brothers, causing the NRA to lose its credibility and people to criticize the New Deal. Many people sought different ways to avoid the reality of the depression like in the ways Father Divine used this time to commit civil disobedience and Father Coughlin was on the radio ranting about evil doles. During this time, Roosevelt was finding ways to keep the bond market in bad shape so that after he received approval from congress about the Resettlement Administration, citizens would seek his help. The New Dealers were planning a new act called the Public Utilities Holding Company.
