KEPORT TO THE PRESIDENT
The President,
The White House,
Sir: This is a report on the Code of Fair Competition for the
Balding Industry in Puerto Rico and on the public hearing and con-
ferences hehl thereon in accordance with the provisions of the Na-
tional Industrial Recovery Act.
EMPLOYMENT
The Baking Industry includes about 210 operating bakeries em-
plojdng about 900 to 1000 persons. There are about 180 other bak-
eries which are not in operation.
Unemployment is estimated at about 300 persons, but of these
only about 150 are said to be legitimate bakers.
In addition to the regular employees of bakers there are engaged
directly in the industry, as independent business men, about 3000
vendors who purchase bread at the bakeries and make delivery to
customers principally on regular routes. Most of the bread baked
in Puerto Rico is disposed of through this channel of distribution.
GENERAL
The baking industry in Puerto Rico resembles its mainland coun-
terpart in few particulars. The form and type of bread are different,
as the taste of the buying public in Puerto Rico is more continental
than American.
The quality of the bread produced is, general speaking, satisfac-
tory in the more populous centers; but Americans find some of the
bread — particularly in the smaller localities — unpalatable and un-
healthful. But the Ivinds of bread produced there, and the shape and
quality, are satisf actor}'' to the consuming public and no complaint
has been heard from any source except that the price is too high
for the purse of the lowlier Islanders.
Different sections of the country have their preferences but the
local bakeries are sufficiently experienced so that no difficulty is
encountered in supplying the public demand. That demand, curi-
ously enough, is not so large as one might think. It seems that about
900,000 of Puerto- Rico's population do not eat bread but substitute
instead batatas, yaiitia, platanos, casaves, and other tubers of heavy
starch content and firm consistency. The remainder of the popula-
tion, ranging from 000,000 to 800,000 people consume somewhere
between 600 and 700 sacks of flour of 200 pounds each, baked into
bread each day. which, on a pro rata basis, means that the consump-
tion averages about 3 ounces per person per day.
(2)
There are no large baking corporations in the Island and but one
firm operating a string of bakeries. Most of the bread-baking in
Puerto Ilico is done in hand craft shops. A bread-mixer, to be found
in some of the larger bakeries, is about the only mechanical device
in evidence. It is said that four or five bakeries are equipped with
modern iron ovens heated by crude oil. The remainder are of brick,
heated by kindling wood.
The industr}^ in general has operated at a loss since 1929, especially
since the imposition of the processing tax on wheat in 1933. The
average price of bakery products, however, has shown but a slight in-
crease over previous price levels.
HOUR AND WAGE PROVISIONS
The code provides for a basic forty-eight hour week, a reduction
of about fourteen per cent under the average hours now worked
through.out the industry; consequently some reemplojanent may be
expected.
The minimum wage for a crew of emploj-ees is fixed at the rate of
$2.50 for the manufacture of bags of flour of 200 pounds. This is
a method of payment peculiar to Puerto Eico. Here a crew of bak-
ers generally consists of four or five men, one of whom is head baker,
the others being his various assistants ; but in villages a crew may be
as low as two men and a boy. Several years ago, prior to the or-
ganization of labor, different methods of payment were in vogue,
some working on an hourly basis, some on a piece work rate, and a
few on other bases. The present system was developed by the work-
ers and has ever since its adoption been regulated by the labor or-
ganization itself. To all appearances this method of pajmient has
been satisfactory, the only objection up to now being "occasioned
by the lack of uniformity in the various bakeries throughout the
Island.
The establishment of a stated minimum in the code will operate to
remedy this defect. Since practically all bread baked in Puerto Rico
is sold to independent distributors at the bakery itself, it was not
thought necessary to include further wage provisions in the code.
TRADE PRACTICE PROVISIONS
The Articles on Trade Practices and Open Prices provide what is
felt to be a sensible solution to a number of the greatest evils existing
in the industry.
HEALTH AND SANITATION
The code also affords very real hope of progress in the fields of
health and sanitation. Such effective regulation, once put into effect,
will not only prove a boon to the efficient and conscientious members
of the industry but also to the consuming public.
FINDINGS
The Deputy Administrator in his final report on said code haying
found as herein set forth, and on the basis of all the proceedings in
this matter,
This Board finds :
(a) Said code is well designed to promote the policies and pur-
poses of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act including
removal of obstructions to the free flow of insular trade which tend
to diminish the amount thereof and will provide for the general wel-
fare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose of
cooperative action among trade groups, by inducing and maintaining
united action of labor and management under adequate governmental
sanctions and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices
by promoting tlie fullest possible utilization of the present productive
capacity of industries, by avoiding undue restriction of production,
by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural prod-
ucts through increasing purcliasing power, by reducing and relieving
unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise
rehabilitating industry.
(b) Said industry normally employs not more than 50,000 em-
ployees, and is not classified as a major industry.
(c) The code as approved complies in all respects with the perti-
nent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limita-
tion subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and
Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof; and that the applicant associa-
tion is an industrial association truly i"epresentative of the aforesaid
industry ; and that said association imposes no inequitable restrictions
on admission to membership therein.
(d) The code is not designed to and will not permit monopolies
or monopolistic practices.
(e) The code is not designed to and will not eliminate or oppress
small enterprises and will not operate to discriminate against them.
(f ) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have not
been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said code.
For these reasons tliis code has been approved.
For the National Industrial Recovery Board :
W. A. Harriman,
Administrative Officer.

an opportunity for investigation of the merits of such action and
further consideration by such Code Authority or agency pending
final action which shall not be effective unless the Deputy Adminis-

and open market which it is the purpose of this Article to create.
Article IX — Costs and Price Cutting
Section 1. The standards of fair competition for the industry
with reference to pricing practices are declared to be as follows :
(a) Wilfully destructive price cutting is an unfair method of com-
petition and is forbidden. Any member of the industry or of any
other industry or the customers of either may at any time complain
to the Code Authorit}^ that any filed price constitutes unfair com-
petition as destructive price cutting, imperiling small enterprise or
tending toward monopoly or the impairment of code wages and
working conditions. The Code Authority shall within five (5) days
afford an opportunity to the members filing the price to answer such
complaint and shall within fourteen (14) days make a ruling or
adjustment thereon. If such ruling is not concurred in by either
party to the complaint, all papers shall be referred to the Research
and Planning Division of the National Recovery Administration or
the designated representative tbereof in Puerto Rico, which shall
13
render a report and recommendation thereon to the National Indus-
trial Recovery Board.
(b) AATien no declared emergency exists as to any given product,
there is t-o be no fixed minimum basis for prices. It is intended that
sound cost estimating methods should be used and that considera-
tion should be given to costs in the determination of pricing policies.
(c) When an emergency exists as to any given product, sale below
the stated minimum price of such product, in violation of Section 2
hereof, is forbidden.
Sectiox 2. Emergency Provmons. — (a) If the National Industrial
Eecovery Board, after investigation shall at any time find both (1)
that an emergency has arisen within the industry adversely affecting
small enterprises or wages or labor conditions, or tending toward
monopoly or other acute conditions which tend to defeat the purposes
of the Act; and (2) that the determination of the stated minimum
price for a specified product within the industry for a limited period
is necessary to mitigate the conditions constituting such emergency
and to effectuate the purposes of the Act, the Code Authority may
cause an impartial agency to investigate costs and to recommend to
the National Industrial Recovery Board a determination of the
stated minimum price of the product affected by the emergenc}'^ and
thereupon the National Industrial Recovery Board ma}^ proceed to
determine such stated minimum price.
(b) When the National Industrial Recovery Board shall have
determined such stated minimum price for a specified product for
a stated period, which price shall be reasonably calculated to miti-
gate the conditions of such emergency and to effectuate the purposes
of the National Industrial Recover}^ Act, it shall publish such price.
Thereafter, during such stated period, no member of the industry
shall sell such specified products at a net realized price below said
stated minimum price and any such sale shall be deemed destructive
price cutting. From time to time, the Code Authority may recom-
mend review or reconsideration or the National Industrial Recovery
Board may cause any determinations hereunder to be reviewed or
reconsidered and appropriate action taken.
Section 3. Cost Fineling and Aceountiyig. — The Code Authority
shall cause to be formulated methods of cost finding and accounting
which shall be capable of use by all members of the industry, and
shall submit such methods to the National Industrial Recovery
Board for review. If approved by the National Industrial Recovery
Board, full information concerning such methods shall be made
available to all members of the industry. Thereafter, each member
of the industry shall utilize such methods to the extent found
practicable. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to permit
the Code Authority, any agent thereof, or any member of the indus-
try, to suggest uniform additions, percentages or differentials or
other uniform items of cost which are designed to bring about arbi-
trary uniformity of costs or prices.
Article X — Registration
Within ten daj^s after the effective date of this Code each member
of the industry shall register with the Code Authority, his firni name,
the address oi his principal place of business, and the registration
14
number of the sanitary permit issued to him by the Insular Commis-
sioner of Health.
Anj^one who becomes a member of the industry after the effective
date of this Code shall reo-ister with the Code Authority in the
manner above prescribed within ten (10) days after becoming a
member of the industry.

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
The President,
The ^¥Mte Rouse.
Sir: A public hearing on the Code of Fair Competition for the
Retail Meat Trade submitted by the National Association of Retail
Meat Dealers ^yas held in Washington, D. C. on the 2nd of July,
1934, in accordance with the provisions of the National Industrial
Recovery x\.ct.
GENERAL.
In 1929 there were sold in the United States meats, including
poultry, to the value of $2,090,125,000. It is estimated that in 1933
only 55.7 percent of this volume of meats was sold at retail or a
total of $1,166,428,911.
This volume of meats was distributed principally by three distinct
types of retail outlets, namely, exclusive meat markets, meat markets
which also sold groceries, and food and grocery stores, which sold
meats. It is estimated that the exclusive meat markets sold $1,148,-
445,599 worth of the total sold in 1929 and that meat markets with
groceries sold $439,432,969 worth, and that the food and grocery
stores which sold meats sold $506,248,740 worth. It is estimated that
of the 1933 total the exclusive meat markets sold $639,684,199 worth,
that the meat markets which sold groceries sold $244,764,164 worth,
and that the groceries with meats sold $281,980,548 worth.
Because of the fact that the selling of groceries and meats is often
done in the same store, data concerning employment directly con-
nected with the sale of meats, is not entirelj^ satisfactory. The
census of distribution of 1929 includes under one grouping employ-
ment in grocery stores with meats, meat markets with groceries,
meat markets and fish markets. In order to determine the number
of emploj^ees actually engaged in the distribution of meats at retail,
it was found necessary to make certain computations and estimates.
It was found necessary to place much reliance upon data collected by
the proponent association through the issuance of five hundred ques-
tionnaires to representative meat dealers m the country. From these
sources and estimates it is concluded that in 1929, there were ap-
proximatel}^ 122,996 people employed directly in the retailing of
meats. There are no reliable figures available as to the amount of
unemployment existing in this trade between the years 1929 and 1933.
There have sprung up in the retail meat trade certain unfair trade
practices. The most important of these has been the practice in-
dulged by certain unscrupulous dealers in falsely advertising meats
to be of a certain quality when in fact they were of an inferior grade.
The United States Department of Agriculture has for a number
of years carried on studies and has arrived at certain standards of
grades of meats and certain standard cuts for meats. It is provided
(17)
18
in the Code that it shall be an unfair trade practice for any mem-
ber of the trade to advertise or sell meats of an inferior grade when
they have been represented or advertised to be of another grade, and
that the grades promulgated by the Department of Agriculture shall
be the effective standards.
In addition to the basic Code there is attached as Schedule A, a
supplementar}^ Code for the Retail Kosher Meat Trade. Hearing
was held on this supplementary Code at the same time as the hearing
on the Code for the Retail Meat Trade. This supplementary Code
merely contains certain additional labor provisions and fair trade
practice provisions which, because of the religious features con-
nected with the sale of Kosher meats, are thought necessary to
further stabilize that branch of the retail meat trade.
The sale of meats at retail has heretofore been included under the
Code of Fair Competition for the Retail Food and Grocery Trade.
However, because of the large amount of meat sold in stores in
which the principal line of business is the selling of meats rather
than of groceries, and on the showing of such facts and of the
further facts concerning the nature of the item, and the skill and
peculiar knowledge required for handling the same, it is recom-
mended that a separate code be approved to cover its sale at retail
in such stores.
The sales in combination stores where the principal line of busi-
ness is other than the sale of meats, however, have heretofore been
included under the Code of Fair Competition for the Retail Food
and Grocery Trade. The application of such Code to sales of meat,
except as to the labor provisions thereof, has been stayed by Ad-
ministrative Order. However, in order that such retailers will not
be under the jurisdiction of another Code for a portion of the busi-
ness in such establishment it is recommended that this Code only
include the sales of meats in establishments where the sale of meats
comprises fifty-one percent (51%), or more, of the total volume of
business in such establishment, and the Order of Approval of this
Code is drawn to accomplish this end.
The grocery store which sells meats thereby excluded from this
Code is bound by labor provisions which are in the main identical
with the provisions in this Code. Provisions governing the advertis-
ing and selling methods for the dealers who will be governed by this
Code, should be incorporated in the Code of Fair Competition for
the Retail Food and Grocery Trade. Pending the incorporation
of parallel provisions governing such advertising and selling
methods in the Code of Fair Competition for the Retail Food and
Grocery Trade, or pending further order, these provisions are stayed
by the Executive Order. It is contemplated that the combination
stores who will not be governed by this Code, but who are engaged
in the retail selling of meats, will be subject to such parallel
provisions in the code applicable to them.
The Order of Approval contains a condition that the Code shall
not become effective for twenty (20) days, during which time the
trade may show cause why the Code shall not go into effect, and it is
provided that in any event a further Order will be necessary to
put the Code into effect at the end of such twenty (20) day period.
19
HOURS AND AVAGES
The Code provides for a forty-eight (48) hour basic work week
for all employees in retail meat establishments. Prior to PRA the
average weekly working hours were approximately^ sixty-five (65)
hours per we^k. Using the estimated number of employees in the
trade in 1929, of 122,995, and the average working hours of sixty-
jfive (65), it is estimated that there will be a 35.4% increase in em-
ployment, or 43,561 additional emploj^ees, accomplished by this
reduction to forty-eight (48) hours per week.
Employees may work only six (6) days in any seven (7) day
period. It is provided, however, that immediately preceding cer-
tain holidays at which times the public consumes materially greater
quantities of meats, employees may be worked for a limited number
of hours in excess of the basic hours, provided that for all times
so worked they shall be paid at least at the rate of one and one-third
times the normal rate of pay.
The Code provides for a minimum weekly wage of fifteen dollars
($15.00) per week in cities of over 500,000 population with lesser
amounts per week as the minimum wage in smaller localities, and
also provides for a wage differential in the South. Employees in
the trade receiving more than the minimum, may not have their
wages decreased below the amount being received by them on June 1,
1933, even though their hours are reduced under the Code.
The Deputy Administrator, in his final report to us on said Code
having found as herein set forth and on the basis of all the
proceedings in this matter;
We find that:
(a) Said Code is well designed to promote the policies and pur-
poses of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act, includ-
ing removal of obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign
commerce which tend to diminish the amount thereof and will pro-
vide for the general welfare by promoting the organization of indus-
tr}^ for the purpose of cooperative action among the trade groups, by
inducing and maintaining united action of labor and management
under adequate governmental sanctions and supervision, by eliminat-
ing unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible
utilization of the present productive capacity of industries, by avoid-
ing undue restriction of production (except as may be temporarily
required), by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricul-
tural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing
and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and
by otherwise rehabilitating industry.
(b) The Code as approved complies in all respects with the perti-
nent provisions of said Title of said Act, inclucling without limita-
tion Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and
Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof; and that the applicant group
is a trade group trul}^ representative of the aforesaid trade ; and that
said group imposes no inequitable restrictions on admission to mem-
bership therein.
(c) The Code is not designed to and will not permit monopolies
or mojiopolistic practices.
20
(d) The Cede is not designed to and will not eliminate or oppress
small enterprises and will not operate to discriminate against them.
(e) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have not
been clepriA-ed of the right to be heard prior to approval of said Code.
For the above reasons this Code is hereby recommended for
approval.

tity, origin, size, substance, character, nature, finish, material content,
or preparation) or credit terms, values, policies, services, or the
nature or form of the business conducted.

tity has been prescribed by rules and regulations issued by the Secre-
tary of Agriculture and/or the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
which simulates the product or fails to conform to such definition.
(c) Falsely representing or advertising meats which fail to con-
form to the standards of grades and classification prescribed by the
Secretary of Agriculture and/or the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture (a copy of which as now approved is attached hereto marked
Exhibit I, hereby made a part hereof by this reference) to be of
such standards.

chasers with respect to the brand, grade, quality, quantity, origin,

ration of such goods.
(b) Using stamps or marks on meats for the purpose of mislead-
ing or deceiving the consumer as to the true class and grade of the

* See paragraph 2 (4) of order approving this Code.
30
Section 5. Publishing advertising which refers inaccurately in any
material particular to any competitors or their goods, prices, values,
credit terms, ])olici<^s, or services.

Section 9. The standards of fair competition for trade with ref-
erence to pricing practices are declared to be as follows :
(a) Wilfully destructive price cutting is an unfair method of com-
petition and is forbidden. Any member of the trade or of any other
trade or the customers of either may at any time complain to the
Code Authority that any price constitutes unfair competition as de-
structive price cutting, imperihng small enterprise or tending toward
monopoly or the impairment of code wages and working conditions.
The Code Authority shall within five (5) days afford an opportunity
to the member charging such price to answer such complaint and
shall within fourteen (14) days make a ruling or adjustment thereon.
If such ruling is not concurred in by either party to the complaint,
all ]3aiJers shall be referred to the Research and Planning Division
of N. R. A. which shall render a report and recommendation thereon
to the Administrator.
(b) When no declared emergency exists as to any given product,
there is to be no fixed minimum basis for prices. It is intended that
sound cost estimating methods should be used and that consideration
should be given to costs in the determination of pricing policies.
(c) When an emergency exists as to any given product, sale
below the stated minimum price of such product, in violation of
Section 10 hereof, is forbidden.
Section 10. (a) If the Administrator, after investigation shall
at any time find both (1) that an emergency has arisen w^ithin the
trade or within any retail trade area of the trade adversely affecting
small enterprises or wages or labor conditions, or tending tow^ard
monopoly or other acute conditions which tend to defeat the pur-
j)oses of the Act; and (2) that the determination of the stated
minimum price for a specified product within the trade for a limited
period is necessary to mitigate the conditions constituting such
emergency and to effectuate the purposes of the Act, the Code
Authority may cause an impartial agency to investigate costs and to
recommend to the Administrator a determination of the stated
minimum price of the product affected by the emergency and there-
upon the Administrator may proceed to determine such stated mini-
mum price.
(b) When the Administrator shall have determined such stated
minimum price for a specified product for a stated period, which
price shall be leasonably calculated to mitigate the conditions of
such emergency and to effectuate the purposes of the National In-
dustrial Recovery Act, he shall publish such price. Thereafter,
during such stated period no member of the trade within the trade
area for which the minimum price has been fixed shall sell such
31
specified products at a net realized price below said stated miniinum
price and any such sale shall be deemed destructive price cutting.
From time to time, the Code Authority may recommend review or
reconsideration or the Administrator may cause any determinations
hereimder to be reviewed or reconsidered and appropriate action
taken.
Article YIII — Industriax, Kelations Committees
There shall be established an Industrial Relations Committee for
the trade, which shall consist of an equal number of representatives
of employees and employers and an impartial chairman. The Ad-

ative labor organization exists, the employee members of such board

lation issued under Title I of said Act.

to be included herein by the Act may, with the approval of the Ad-
ministrator, be modified or eliminated in such manner as may be

Article X — Monopolies, Etc.
No provision of this Code shall be so applied as to permit monop-
olies or monopolistic practices, or to eliminate, oppress, or discrimi-
nate against small enterprises.
Article XI — Price Increases
Wliereas the policy of the Act to increase real purchasing power
will be made more difficult of consummation if prices of goods and
services increase as rapidly as wages, it is recognized that price in-
creases except such as may be required to meet individual cost should
be delayed, and when made such increases should, so far as possible,
be limited to actual additional increases in the seller's costs.

REPOKT TO THE PEESIDENT
The President,
The WkHe House.
Sir: This is a report on the Code of Fair Competition for the
FLat Ghiss Manufacturing Industry, as revised after a public hearing
conducted in Washington, D. C, on October 30, 1933, in accordance
with the provisions of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery
Act.
THE INDUSTRY IN GENERAL
1. The Flat Glass Manufacturing Industry as defined by the Code
embraces all establishments engaged in the manufacture and primary
sale of flat glass, except common window glass, the latter being
another flat glass product included under a separate code. The
Industry at this time consists of eighteen distinct members. The In-
dustry is sub-divided into four sub-divisions, namely: (1) Plate
Glass Division, (2) Rough, Rolled and Wire Glass Division, (3)
Structural Glass Division, (4) Safety Glass Division. Two of the
five members of the Plate Glass Division produce and sell approxi-
mately 94% of all plate glass; one of the members of the Rough,
Rolled and Wire Glass Division produces and sells approximately
48 7o of all Rough, Rolled and Wire Glass; one of the members of the
Structural Glass Division produces and sells approximately 45% of
all Structural Glass (this member being one of the two previously
mentioned in the Plate Glass Division) ; and two of the members of
the Safety Glass Division produce and sell approximately 96% of
all safety glass (these two members being the same two members
previously mentioned in the Plate Glass Division, and one of the
two being the same member previously mentioned in the Structural
Glass Division), These two concerns operating in the several Divi-
sions produce and sell approximately 91% of the total dollar value
of all products of this industry.
PROVISIONS or THE CODE AS TO HOURS, WAGES AND GENERAL LABOR
PROVISIONS
1. This Code provides that no employee shall be permitted to
work more than seventy-two (72) hours in any fourteen (14) day
period nor more than six (6) days m any seven (T) day period; and
that no employee shall be permitted to work more than eight (8)
hours in any twenty-four (24) hour period (except that each em-
ployee may be permitted to work six (6) additional hours in any
seven (7) day period, provided that at least one and one-half times
their normal rate of pay is paid for all time worked in excess of
eight (8) hours in any twenty-four (24) hour period), except as
follows :
(40)
41
(a) Employees from the immediately preceding shift, engaged
in the non-continuous processes of the industry which operate twenty-
four (24) hours per clay may be permitted to work not more than
four (4) additional hours and not more than a total of forty -two
(42) hours in any seven (T) day period without the payment of
overtime if his services are required by reason of the failure of
another regular employee to report or remain at work.
(b) EmjDloyees engaged in the continuous processes of the indus-
try shall not be permitted to work more than eighty- four (84)
hours in any fourteen (14) day period, nor more than six (6) hours
in any one twentj^-four (24) hour period except that (1) in order to
provide for the rotation of shifts, each such employee may be per-
mitted to work six (6) additional hours in any one twenty-four (24)
hour period in each fourteen (14) clay period without the payment
of overtime, and (2) each such employee from the immediately pre-
ceding shift may be permitted to work six (6) additional hours in
any seven (7) day period without the payment of overtime if his
services are required by reason of the failure of another regular
employee to report for or remain at work.
(c) Employees engaged in clerical, office or sales work (exclusive
of those engaged as bookkeepers and accountants) may be permit-
ted to work not more than forty (40) hours in any one seven (7)
day period nor more than eight (8) hours in any one twenty-four
(24) hour period nor more than six (6) days in any one seven (7)
day period, except that each such employee may be permitted to work
two (2) additional hours in any one twenty-four (24) hour period
in each seven (7) day period, w^ithout the payment of overtime, pro-
vided that the total for such seven (7) day period is not in excess of
forty (40) hours.
(d) During any one seven (7) day period in any month or four
(4) weeks accounting period any employee engaged as a bookkeeper
or accountant may be permitted to work nine (9) hours in any
twenty-four (24) hour period and forty-five (45) hours in said seven
(7) day period without payment of overtime, provided that equiva-
lent time off is given such employee during the balance of the same
month or accounting period, so that the average of such employee's
hours during said month or four (4) weeks accounting period, does
not exceed forty (40) hours per seven (7) day period; and further
each such employee may be permitted to work not more than six (6)
additional hours in any seven (7) day period, provided that at least
one and one-half (1%) times the normal rate of pay is paid for all
hours worked in excess of nine (9) hours in any twenty-four (24)
hour period during such first mentioned seven (7) day period, or in
excess of eight (8) hours in any twenty-four (24) hour period dur-
ing the balance of the month or accounting period.
(e) Employees engaged as watchmen may be permitted to work
not more than eighty-four (84) hours in any one fourteen (14) day
period.
2. This Code exempts from hourly, weekly or othei* periodic limi-
tations persons employed in a managerial or executive capacity who
earn not less than thirty-five dollars ($35.00) per week and employees
engaged in emergency maintenance or emergency repair work pro-
vided, however, that in cases of emergency maintenance or emergency
42
repair work, at least one and one-haif (iy2) times their normal rate
of pay is paid for all time worked in excess of the maximum pro-
vided in Article III.
3. This Code establishes minimum rates of pay of forty cents
($.40) and thirty-five cents ($.35) per hour for all classes of em-
ployees except those engaged in clerical and office work, in the
Northern and Southern sections of the industry respectively. A
minimum rate of fifteen dollars ($15.00) per week is established for
employees engaged in clerical or office work regardless of the section
of the industry.
4. This Code establishes minimum rates of pay for all employees
irrespective of whether the employee is actually compensated on a
time rate, piece work or other basis. Handicapped persons may be
employed at a wage below the minimum under conditions as pro-
vided by the Code.
5. This Code provides that, for those employees receiving com-
pensation in excess of the minimum wage rates, an equitable adjust-
ment shall be made in those cases where such equitable adjustments
have not been made since July 1, 1933, and that reports in respect
thereto shall be submitted by "^ the Code Authority to the Adminis-
trator.
6. This Code also includes provisions respecting:
(a) Evasion through re-employment, and
(b) Keclassification of Employees, and
(c) Standards for Safety and Health, and
(d) Payment of Wages, and
(e) Dismissals for Making a Complaint, and
(f ) Rates of Pay for Female Employees, and
(g) Posting of the Code, and
that no person under sixteen (16) years of age shall be employed in
the industry and that no person under eighteen (18) years of age
shall be employed in operations or occupations which are hazardous
in nature or dangerous to health, and that the Code Authority shall
within thirty (30) days after the eflfective date of the Code submit
a list of such operations and occupations in the industry.
ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF THE CODE
1. The report of the Division of Research and Planning indicates
that the production of the Plate Glass Division (which constitutes
approximately 50% of this industry) declined from 150,504,000
square feet in 1929 to 86,037,000 square feet in 1933 or about 43%.
While no figures are given for the production of the Structural
Glass and Rough Rolled and Wire Glass Divisions, it is assumed
that they suffered the same decline inasmuch as they, like the Plate
Glass Division, depend largely on construction activity for their
market. In the Safety Glass Division production in 1933 was
greater than in 1929 due to the increasing demand for its products
in the Automotive Industry. Sales for the entire industry totaled
$32,570,000 in 1933. Sales for the first six months of 1934 were
73.6% of the sales for the entire year 1933 indicating a substantial
upturn in the industry.
43
2. While complete and accurate statistics on employment within
the industry are not available, it is estimated that the' total number
of employees in the industry in 1929 was about 16,880, and in the
first part of 1933 about 8,000. In the latter part of 1933 the number
of employees was estimated to be about 11,000 due both to the opera-
tion of the President's Reemployment Agreement and the upturn
in business. Based on Bureau of Labor Statistics covering " Trend
of Employment" for all glass manufacturers, it would appear that
in this industry from June, 1933 to June, 1934 employment increased
31.6%. Average hours worked decreased from 42.1 to 33.5 or 17%
while average hourly earning increased from 44^ to 55^ or 19.6%
with the net result that average weekly earnings decreased from
$18.97 to $18.42 or 0.8%.
3. Increased employment due to the thirty-six (30) hour general
provision and the forty-two (42) hour provision for the continuous
processes, on the basis of employment for the last half of 1933 and
the first half of 1934, should restore the industry to the 1929 level,
and in conclusion it may be stated that, even if the operation of the
Code does not greatly increase average wages, the position of the
industry will be reasonably good, provided that reductions of weekly
earnings do not result from the shortening of hours.
FINDINGS
The Deputy Administrator in his final report to us on said Code
having found as herein set forth and on the basis of all the proceed-
ings in this matter :
We find that:
(a) Said Code is well designed to promote the policies and pur-
poses of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act, including
removal of obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign
commerce which tend to diminish the amount thereof and will pro-
vide for the general welfare by promoting the organization of in-
dustry for the purpose of cooperative action among the trade groups,
by inducing and maintaining united action of labor and manage-
ment uder adequate governmental sanctions and supervision, by
eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest
possible utilization of the present productive capacity of industries,
by avoiding undue restriction of production (except as may be tem-
porarily required), by increasing the consumption of industrial and
agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by
reducing and relieving unemploj^ment, by improving standards of
labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating industry.
(b) Said industry normally employes not more than 50,000 em-
ployees; and is not classified by us as a major industry.
(c) The Code as approved complies in all respects with the perti-
nent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation
Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and Subsec-
tion (b) of Section 10 thereof; and that the applicant group is an
industrial group truly representative of the aforesaid industry and
that said group imposes no inequitable restrictions on admission to
membership therein.
44
(d) The Code is not designed to and will not permit monopolies
or monopolistic practices.
(e) The Code is not designed to and will not eliminate or oppress
small enterprises and will not operate to discriminate against them.
(f) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have not
been deprived of the right to he heard prior to approval of said Code.
For these reasons, therefore, we have approved this Code.

REPOKT TO THE PRESIDENT
The President,
The White House.
Sir: This is a report on the Code of Fair Oompetition for the
Used Machinery and Equipment Distributing Trade of the United
States, as revised after a Public Hearing conducted in Washington
on the 31st day of July, 1934, in accordance with the provisions of
the National Industrial Recovery Act.
PRCS'ISIONS AS TO HOURS AND WAGES
A maximum of 40 hours a week and 8 hours a day is provided by
the Code, with an additional 8 hours per week for 6 weeks in any
26-week period to care for peak demands. One and a half times the
regular rate is paid for all hours in excess of 40 hours a week or 8
hours a day and on Sundays and legal holidays. No hour limita-
tion is placed on emploj^'ees engaged in emergencj'^ maintenance and
emergency repair work or on any specially skilled employee in
emergencies which cannot be met by the employment of additional
men, but the overtime rate will apply. Watchmen are permitted
54 hours a week. Executives and managers receiving $35 a week or
more and outside salesmen are exempted from the hour limitations.
A minimum wage of not less than 40 cents an hour is provided for
all employees, except those on office staffs who will be paid at a rate
of not less than $15 a week, office boys and girls receiving a mini-
mum of 80 per cent of the above rate.
CHILD LABOR
No person under IG years of age will be employed and no one un-
der 18 years of age will be engaged in hazardous occupations.
ECONOMIC EFFECT OF CODE
This Trade, which distributes used machinery and equipment not
covered by approved Codes, is composed of 876 concerns, employing
3,800 persons. The total invested capital amounts to approximately
$16,000,000 and the volume of sales in 1933 was $18,000,000. The
40 hour week provided by the Code, coupled with increased activities
in the Trade as business improves, should result in a substantial gain
in employment.
FINDINGS
The Deputy Administrator in his final report to the National In-
dustrial Recovery Board on said Code having found as herein set
forth and on the basis of all the proceedings in this matter :
(GO)
61
It finds that:
(a) Said Code is well designed to promote the policies and pur-
poses of Title I of the National Industrial E-ecovery Act, including
removal of obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign
commerce which tend to diminish the amount thereof and will pro-
vide for the general welfare by promoting the organization of in-
dustrj'^ for the purpose of cooperative action among trade groups,
by inducing and maintaining united action of labor and manage-
ment under adecjuate governmentiil sanctions and supervision, by
eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest
Eossible utilization of the present productive capacity of industries,
y avoiding midue restriction of production (except as may be
temporarily required), by increasing the consumption of industrial
and agi'icultural products through increasing purchasing power, by
reducing and relieving unemployment, b}^ improving standards of
labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating industry.
(b) Said Trade normally employs not more than 50,000 em-
ployees; and is not classified by the National Industrial Recovery
Board as a major industry.
(c) The Code as approved complies in all respects with the per-
tinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including wuthout limi-
tation subsection (a) of section 3, subsection (a) of section 7, and
subsection (b) of section 10 thereof; and that the applicant associa-
tion is a trade association trul}^ representative of the aforesaid
trade; and that said association imposes no inequitable restrictions
on admission to membership therein.
(d) The Code is not designed to and will not permit monopolies
or monopolistic practices.
(e) The Code is not designed to and will not eliminate or oppress
small enterprises and will not operate to discriminate against them.
(f) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have
not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of
said Code.
For these reasons, this Code has been approved by the National
Industrial Recovery Board.
For the National Industrial Recovery Board:

IMPORTANCE OF THE TEIADE
The Motor Vehicle Maintenance Trade renders repair and main-
tenance service to the general public on passenger cars, busses,
taxicabs, hearses, ambulances, fire apparatus, and commercial vehi-
cles including trucks and truck tractors, for use on the highways.
This Trade is nation-wide in character and has steadily increased in
numbers through a period of years until, at present, it is estimated
that there are approximately 185,000 establishments engaged in the
repair and maintenance of motor vehicles, in whole or in part. Of
these 185,000 establishments, some are likewise engaged in other
trades involving motor vehicles. It has been estimated that the
Trade has a total annual sales volume of labor, parts, accessories
and supplies of roughly $2,500,000,000 and that its employees ap-
proximate 500,000 persons. This approximate total annual volume
of $2,500,000,000 includes sales of approximately $775,000,000 volume
in parts, accessories and supplies by the trade which does strictly
maintenance work. It has been estimated that upwards of 450,-
000,000 units of repair jobs were performed during the past year.
FINDINGS
The Deputy Administrator in his final report to us on said Code
having found as herein set forth and on the basis of all the proceed-
ings in this matter :
The National Industrial Recovery Board finds that:
(a) Said Code is well designed to promote the policies and pur-
poses of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act, including
removal of obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign
commerce which tend to diminish the amount thereof and will pro-
vide for the general welfare by promoting the organization of in-
dustry for the purpose of cooperative action among trade groups, by
inducing and maintaining united action of labor and management
under adequate governmental sanctions and supervision, by elimi-
nating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible
utilization of the present productive capacity of industries, by avoid-
ing undue restriction of production (except as may be temporarily
required), by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricul-
tural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing
and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of labor and
by otherwise rehabilitating industry.
(b) The Code as approved complies in all respects with the per-
tinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limi-
tation Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and
77
Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof; and that the applicant ^oiip
is an industrial group truW representative of the aforesaid Trade;
and that said group imposes no inequitable restrictions on admis-
sion to membership therein.
(c) The Code is not designed to and will not permit monopolies
or monopolistic practices.
(d) The Code is not designed to and will not eliminate or oppress
small enterprises and will not operate to discriminate against them.
(e) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have not
been deprived of the right to be heard prior to the approval of said
Code.
(f ) The Motor Vehicle Maintenance Trade normally employs up-
wards of five hundred thousand persons and is classified by us as a
major industry.
For these reasons, therefore, the National Industrial Recovery
Board recommends the approval of this Code.
For the National Industrial Recovery Board :

Administrative O-fJicer.

thority shall cause to be formulated methods of cost finding, estimat-
ing and accounting capable of use b}' all members of the trade, and
shall submit such methods to the National Recovery Administration
for review. If approved by the National Recovery Administration,
full information concerning such methods shall be made available
to all members of the trade. Thereafter, each member of tlie trade
shall utilize such methods to the extent found practicable. Nothing
herein contained shall be construed to permit the National Code Au-
thority or any other administrative agency or agent thereof or any
member of the trade to suggest uniform additions, percentages or
differentials or other uniform items of cost which are designed to
bring about arbitrary uniformity of costs or prices.
Section 2. WUfuIly Destructive Pnoe Cutting. — The standards of
fair competition for the trade with reference to pricing practices are
declared to be as follows :
(a) Wilfully destructive price cutting is an unfair method of com-
petition and is forbidden. Any member of the trade or of any other
trade or the customers of either may at any time complain to the
National Code Authority'- or any State or District Committee that
any offered price constitutes unfair competition as destructive price
cutting, imperiling small enterprise or tending toward monopoly or
the impairment of code wages and working conditions. The Na-
tional Code Authority or any State or District Committee shall
within five (5) days afford an opportunity to the member offering
such price to answer such complaint and shall within fourteen (14)
days make a ruling or adjustment thereon. If such ruling is not con-
curred in by either party to the complaint, all papers shall be referred
to the Research and Planning Division of N. R. A. which shall render
a report and recommendation thereon to the National Recovery
Administration.
(b) When no declared emergency exists as to any given product or
service, there is to be no fixed minimum basis for prices. It is intended
that sound cost estimating methods should be used and that considera-
tion should be given to costs in the determination of pricing policies.
(c) "WTien an emergency exists as to any given product or service,
sale below the stated minimum price of such product or service, in
violation of Section 3 hereof, is forbidden.
• See paragraph 2 of order approving this Code.
90
Section 3. Emergency Provisions. — (a) If the National Recovery
Administration, after investigation shall at any time find both (1)
that an emergency has arisen within the trade adversely affecting
small enterprises or wages or labor conditions, or tending toward
monopoly or other acute conditions which tend to defeat the purposes
of the Act; and (2) that the determination of the stated minimum
price for a specified product or service within the trade for a limited
period is necessary to mitigate the conditions constituting such emer-
gency and to effectuate the purposes of the Act, the National Code
Authority or any State Committee may cause an impartial agency to
investigate costs and to recommend to the National Recovery Admin-
istration a determination of the stated minimum price of the product
and/or service affected by such emergency and thereupon the Na-
tional Recovery Administration may proceed to determine such stated
minimum price.
(b^ When the National Recovery Administration shall have de-
termined such stated minimum price for a specified product and/or
service for a stated period, which price shall be reasonably calculated
to mitigate the conditions of such emergency and to effectuate the
purposes of the Act, it shall publish such price. Thereafter, during
such stated period, no member of the trade shall sell such specified
product and/or service at a net realized price below said stated mini-
mum price and any such sale shall be deemed destructive price cutting.
From time to time, the National Code Authority or any State Com-
mittee may recommend review or reconsideration or the National Re-
covery Administration may cause any determinations hereunder to be
reviewed or reconsidered and appropriate action taken.
Section 4. No member of the trade shall enter into any agreement,
understanding, combination or conspiracy to fix or maintain price

FINDINGS
The Deputy Administrator in his final report on said amendments

the proceedings in this matter:
We find that :

obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which
tend to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the general
welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose
of cooperative action among trade groups, by inducing and maintain-
ing united action of labor and management under adequate govern-
mental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive
practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the present
productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue restriction of
production (except as may be temporarily required), by increasing
the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through
increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemploy-
ment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabili-
tating industry.
(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the perti-
nent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation
Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and Sub-
section (b) of Section 10 thereof.
(c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to present the afore-
said amendments on behalf of each or all of the Divisions of the
Industry.
(d) The Code and the Code as amended are not designed to and
will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices.
(e) The amendments and the Code as amended are not designed
to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not
operate to discriminate against them.
(96)
97
(f) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have
not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to the approval of
said amendments.
For these reasons, therefore, these amendments have been approved.

EEPORT TO THE PRESIDENT
The President,
The White HoiLse.
Sir: An application has been duly made pursuant to and in full
compliance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery
Act for an amendment of Article VI of the Code of Fair Competition
for the Toll Bridge Industrj^.
The Code of Fair Competition for the Toll Bridge Industry was
approved on May 17, 1934. Article VI, Section 8, provides that :
"(8) Members of the Industry shall sustain their reasonable share
of the expenses of the Code Authority and its activities. Such
•easonable share of the expenses of administration shall be determined
by the Code Authority, subject to review by the Administrator, on
the basis of volume of business and/or such other factors as may be
deemed equitable."
The above Section of Article VI in effect provides for voluntary
contribution on the part of the members of the Industry. This
method of providing funds for the proper administration of the
Code has been found to be unsatisfactory. Subsection (e) of the
present amendment is therefore proposed to create a legal obliga-
tion on the part of the Industry members to pay their pro rata share
of the expenses of the Code Authority.
Subsections (a), (b), (c), and (d), of the present amendment per-
tain to the duties of the Code Authority, and the purpose and effect
of these provisions are to bring the Code as amended to conformity
with Section 7 of the Standard Outline of the Model Code.
It has developed that Subsection (b) of the proposed amendment
is inconsistent with the first sentence of Section 10 of Article VI
which specifies that reports be made by members of the Industry to
the Code Authority through an impartial agency. It has been
found also that paragraph 2 of Subsection (e) of the proposed
amendment is inconsistent with Section 12 of Article VI which re-
stricts the use of NRA insignia to members of the Industry who have
assented to and are complying with the Code. It is important that
the Code Authority be empowered to levy mandatory assessments
on members of the Industry since it has not the means to function
until these steps are taken. As the amendment contains only model
provisions it is preferable that the inconsistent provisions now in the
Code be removed. To save time, this has been done by staying such
provisions with the understanding that the Code Authority will sub-
mit, as soon as possible, an amendment deleting such provisions.
FINDINGS
The Deputy Administrator, in his final report to the National
Industrial Recovery Board on said amendment of said Supplemen-
tary Code, having found as herein set forth and on the basis of all
of the proceedings in this matter :
(106)
107
It finds that:
(a) The amendment of said Code and the Code as amended are
well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the
National Industrial Eecovery Act including the removal of obstruc-
tion to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which tend to
diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the general welfare
by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose of coop-
erative action among trade groups, by inducing and maintaining
united action of labor and management under adequate govern-
mental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive
practices by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the present
productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue restriction of
production (except as may be temporarily required), by increasing
the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through
increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemploy-
ment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitat-
ing industry.
(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the perti-
nent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation
subsection (a) of Section 3. subsection (a) of Section 7, and subsec-
tion (b) of Section 10 thereof.
(c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to present the afore-
said amendment on behalf of the Industry as a whole.
(d) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed to
and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices.
(e) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed to
and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not
operate to discriminate against them.
(f ) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have not
been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said
amendment.
For these reasons, therefore, it has approved this amendment.

ing with the Code and contributing to the expenses of its admin-

making such contributions,) shall be entitled to participate in
the selection of members of the Code Authority or to receive
the benefits of any of its voluntary activities or to make use of
any emblem or insignia of the National Recovery Administration.
3. The Code Authority shall neither incur nor pay any obli-
gation substantially in excess of the amount thereof as estimated
in its approved budget, and shall in no event exceed the total
amount contained in the approved budget, except upon approval
of the National Industrial Recovery Board; and no subsequent
budget shall contain any deficiency item for expenditures in
excess of the prior budget estimates except those which the
National Industrial Recovery Board shall have so approved,"

cooperative action of labor and management under adequate govern-
mental sanction and supervision, by eliminating imfair competitive
practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the present
productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue restriction of
production (except as may be temporarily required), by increasing
the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through in-
creasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemploy-
ment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitat-
ing industry.
(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the perti-
nent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limita-

THE CANDLE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY AND THE
BEESWAX BLEACHERS AND REFINERS INDUSTRY
Article II, Section 6, shall be amended to read as follows :
Section 6. The term "Act " as used herein shall mean Title I of
the National Industrial Recovery Act.
Article II shall be amended to include a new section to read as
follows :
Section 7. The term "Administrator " as used herein shall mean
such person or persons, board or agency, as may from time to time
be designated by the President, pursuant to Section 2 (b) of the Act
to administer the provisions of such Act.

as follows :
Section 9. The Code Authority may incorporate under the laws
of any State of the United States or of the District of Columbia,
such incorporation to be not for profit and to be known as " Candle

duties, objects and purposes of the said Corporation shall, to the
satisfaction of the Administrator, be limited to the powers, duties,
objects and purposes of the Code Authority as provided in the Code;

an appropriate modification of the structure of the Corporation (if

or such other actions as he may deem expedient.

follows :
Article XV — Damages
Recognizing that the violation by a member of any provision of
this Code will disrupt the normal course of fair competition in the
industry and cause serious damage to others, and that it will be
(121)
122
impossible accurately to determine the amount of such damage, it is
hei^by provided that those members who may desire to do so may
enter into an agreement among themselves embodying the following
provisions :
1. Each member violatmg any provision of this Code shall pa}"
to the Treasurer of the Code Authority, as an individual and not as
Treasurer, in trust, as and for liquidated damages, upon determina-
tion of violation by the Administrator, or any impartial agency or
person nominated by the Code Authority or designated by the
assenters of this agreement and approved by the Administrator,
amounts as set forth below :
(a) For the violation of any wage provision, an amount equal to
the difference bet>veen the wages which have been paid and the wages
which would have been paid if the member had complied with the
applicable provisions of the Code;
(b) For the violation of any hour provision, an amount equal to
time and one-half of the employee's regular rate of pay, for all hours
worked in excess of the maxima established in Article III of this
Code ;
(c) For the violation of any labor provision of the Code other
than an hour or wage provision, 100 dollars ;
(d) For the violation of any provision of the Code (other than
a labor provision) involving a transaction incidental to or con-
nected with a sale of any product of the Industry, an amount equal
to 25 percent of the actual selling price of the product sold in viola-
tion of any such provision or of the price at which the product
should have been sold under the Code, if determinable, whichever
is the higher, but not less than 25 dollars;
(e) For the violation of any provision of the Code (other than
a labor provision) not involving a transaction incidental to or
connected with a sale of any product of the Industry, 100 dollars.
2. All amounts so paid to or collected by the Treasurer of the Code
Authority, under the provisions of this Article, shall be applied by
him as follows: First, if the violation shall have been of a
labor provision of the Code, equitable distribution of all damages
paid therefor shall be made among all employed directly
affected by such violation ; Second, if the violation shall have been of
a code provision, other than a labor provision, the damages arising
therefrom shall be utilized to defray proper expenses of code admin-
istration, and the balance, if any, remaining in the hands of the
Treasurer shall be distributed semi-annually among members of the
Industry who have assented hereto and who have not been determined
to have been guilty of a violation of a code provision during the
preceding semi-annual period, on the basis of the most recent assess-
ment made against members of the Industry for the expense of code
administration.
3. Assent to this Article by any member shall be evidenced by a
signed statement signifying assent, filed with the Code Authority.
Failure to assent to this Article shall not deprive any member of any
other right or privilege under the Code. By so assenting, each mem-
ber agrees with every other member and the Treasurer, individually
(1) that violation of a code provision shall breech this agreement
and shall render the violator liable for the payment of liquidated
123
damages as herein provided, (2) all rights and causes of action aris-
ing hereunder are assigned to the Treasurer, individually and in
trust, and (3) that the Treasurer, as such assignee and as attorney in
fact for each assenting member, may take all proper legal action
concerning damages found due hereunder.
4. The Code Authority may waive liability for payment of liqui-
dated damages for any violation it finds to have been innocently
made and resulting in no material injury.
5. The Treasurer of the Code Authority, as an individual, and not
as Treasurer, by accepting office, accepts the trust established by this
contract and agrees to jDerform the duties of Trustee hereunder until
his successor in office may have been appointed.
6. The Code Authority shall submit to the National Recovery
Administration a complete report on the disposition of each case
arising under this Article.
7. Nothing contained herein shall be construed or applied to (a)
deprive any person of any right or right of action arising out of this
code, or (b) relieve any member of the industry from any contractual
or legal obligation arising out of this code or of the Act or otherwise ;
nor shall violation of this agreement by an assenting member be
deemed a violation of the code, so as to subject the violator to any con-
sequence arising under Section 3 (b). Section 3 (c), or Section 3 (f)
of the National Industrial Recovery Act, nor to any criminal prose^-
cution of any kind.
8. This agreement may be terminated at any time by a two thirds
vote of the members entering into this agreement.

EEPORT TO THE PRESIDENT
The President,
The White Home.
Sir: An application has been duly made pursuant to and in full
compliance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery-
Act, for an amendment to the Code of Fair Competition for the
Coal Dock Industry, submitted by the Code Authorities for the said
Industry.
The existing provision of Article VI, Section 6, of the Code for
said industry, is entirely inadequate in view of the necessity for
seeking an amendment to the Code to make nonpayment of assess-
ments a Code violation, and it is therefore evident that the pro-
posed amendment to Article VI, Section 6, of said Code will over-
come the existing inadequate provision.
FINDINGS
The Acting Deputy Administrator in his final report to us on
the amendment to the Code of Fair Competition for the Coal Dock
Industry having found as herein set forth and on the basis of all
proceedings in this matter :
We find that :
(a) The amendment to said Code and the Code as amended are
well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the
National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of ob-
structions to the free floAv of interstate and foreign commerce which
tend to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the gen-
eral welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the pur-
pose of cooperative action among trade groups, by including and
maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate
governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair com-
petitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the
present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue restric-
tion of production (except as may be temporarily required) by in-
creasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products
through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving
unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise
rehabilitating industry.
(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the perti-
nent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limita-
tion subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7 and
Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof.
(c) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed
to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices.
(140)
141
(d) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed
to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not
operate to discriminate against them.
(e) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have
not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said
amendment.
Said amendment is accordingly approved.

REPOKT TO THE PRESIDENT
The President,
The 'White House.
Sir: The Code Authority for the Code of Fair Competition for
the Women's Belt Industry has submitted a proposed amendment to
this Code. After conferring with members of the Code Authority
and representatives of the various Advisory Boards of the National
Recovery Administration, notice of opportunity to be heard, dated
October 27, 1934, was published and distributed to all members of
the Industry, said notice having expired on November 16, 1934, with
no criticisms of, objections to, or suggestions having been submitted
to the National Recovery Administration.
This amendment amends the Code by deleting from Article VI
subsection 8 of Section B and by adding a new Article designated
as Article VIII and entitled "Assessments ", Sections 1, 2 and 3.
Deletion of said subsection 8 was requested by the Code Authority
for the Industry at the time of submission of the amendment for
approval because of its inconsistency with the new Article VIII.
This new Article VIII is designed to authorize the Code Authority
to incur such reasonable obligations as are necessary for the purpose
of carrying out its functions and duties, to submit to the National
Industrial Recovery Board an itemized Budget and an equitable
basis upon which necessary funds shall be contributed by members
of the Industry and, if necessary, to institute in its own name legal
proceedings for the collection of such funds after approval of such
Budget and basis of contribution.
The amendment also provides that subject to National Recovery
Administration rules and regulations each member of the Industry
shall pay an equitable contribution, and unless such is paid he or it
shall not be entitled to participate in the selection of Code Authority
members, to receive benefit of Code Authority activities, nor to make
use of any National Recovery Administration emblem or insignia.
The amendment further provides that the Code Authority shall
neither incur nor pay any obligations in excess of the amount esti-
mated in the approved Budget and that no subsequent Budget shall
contain the deficiency items for expenditures in excess of prior bud-
get estimates except as the National Industrial Recovery Board
shall have approved.
While considering this amendment the National Industrial Re-
covery Board found that two other sections of the Code as originally
approved would be inconsistent with this amendment. Since these
two other sections would be no longer necessary for the purpose of
the Code, and might easily be removed without making any sub-
stantial change in the Code, they were stayed by the Order approv-
ing said amendment.
(148)

The Deputy Administrator, in his final report to the National
Industrial Recovery Board on the amendment to said Code, having
found as herein set forth and on the basis of all proceedings in this
matter :
It finds that :
(a) The amendment to said Code and the Code as amended are
well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the
Xational Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of obstruc-
tions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which tend
to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the general
welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose of
the cooperative action of labor and management under adequate

petitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the

tion of production (except as may be temporarily required), by in-
creasing the consumiDtion of industrial and agricultural products
through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving un-
employment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise

(b) The Code as amended complied in all respects with the per-
tinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limita-
tion Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and
Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof.
(c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to present the afore-
said amendment on behalf of the Industry as a whole.
(d) The amendment to the Code as amended is not designed to
and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices.
(e) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed to
and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not oper-
ate to discriminate against them.

REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT
The President,
The 'White House.
Sir : An application has been duly made pursuant to and in full
compliance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery-
Act, for an amendment to the Code of Fair Competition for the
Bituminous Coal Industry, submitted by the Southern Sub-Divi-
sional Coal Code Authority No. 1 of Division I after submission to
all other Code Authorities for the said Industry,
The existing provision of Article VI, Section 1, of the Code for
said Industry, is entirely inadequate in view of the necessity for
clarification by reason of varying interpretations placed upon the
wording thereof. It is, therefore, evident that the proposed amend-
ment of Article VI, Section 1, of said Code, as modified by the
National Industrial Recovery Board, as provided in the notice for
public hearing thereon, will overcome the existing inadequate
provision.
FINDINGS
The Acting Deputy Administrator in his final report to us on the
amendment to the Code of Fair Competition for the Bituminous
Coal Industry having found as herein set forth and on the basis of
all proceedings in this matter :
We find that pending such further order as the National Indus-
trial Recovery Board may enter thereon ;
(a) The amendment to said Code and the Code as amended are
designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the
National Industrial Recovery Act including the. removal of obstruc-
tions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which tend
to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the general
welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose
of cooperative action among trade groups, by inducing and main-
taining united action of labor and management under adequate
governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair com-
petitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of
the present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue
restriction of production (except as may be temporarily required)
by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural prod-
ucts through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and reliev-
ing unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by other-
wise rehabilitating industry.
(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the perti-
nent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limita-
tion subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7 and
Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof.
(c) The Code empowers any Sub-Divisional Code Authority to
present the aforesaid amendment on behalf of the Industry as a
(176)
177
whole after submission to all other Code Authorities affected thereby
(which shall include the Divisional Code Authority).
(d) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed
to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices.
(e) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed
to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not
operate to discriminate against them.
(f) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have
not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said
amendment.
Said amendment is accordingly approved.

KEPORT TO THE PRESIDENT
The President,
The White House.
Sir: On August 19, 1933, you approved a Code of Fair Competi-
tion for the Lumber and Timber Products Industries.
This is a report on Lumber Code Authority's Amendment No. 91,
which has been published with a Notice of Opportunity to be Heard
and sent to all interested parties.
The Amendment contemplates the addition of the Territory of
Alaska to the jurisdiction of the Red Cedar Shingle Division.
One of the largest manufacturers of shingles in Alaska has volun-
tarily submitted itself to the Code and is at present operating under
full Code compliance including an allocation from the Red Cedar
Shingle Division Agency. It is felt that other Alaskan manufac-
turers should be brought under the Code in fairness to the industry
and especially in view of the fact that the Canadian shingle manu-
facturers through a voluntary agreement are cooperating with the
industry through an export quota and are also voluntarily complying
with the trade practice regulations which were recently approved
for the Red Cedar Shingle Division.
The Deputy Administrator in his final report to us on said Amend-
ment to said Code having found as herein set forth and on the basis
of all the proceedings in this matter :
We find :
(a) The Amendment to said Code and the Code as amended are
well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the
National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of obstruc-
tions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which tend
to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the general
welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the jourpose
of cooperative action among trade groups, by including and main-
taining united action of labor and management under adequate gov-
ernmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competi-
tive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the
present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue restric-
tion of production (except as may be temporarily required), by
increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products
through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving
unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise
rehabilitating industry.
(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the perti-
nent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limita-
tion subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7 and
Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof.
(c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to present the afore-
said Amendment on behalf of the industry as a whole.
(180)

(d) The Amendment and the Code as amended are not designed to

(e) The Amendment and the Code as amended are not designed
to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not
operate to discriminate against them.
(f) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have
not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said

For these reasons, therefore, we have approved this Amendment
to this Code.

ment was held in the Cabinet Room of the Willard Hotel on Thurs-

section (j), of Section 1, of Article V, and substituting therefor a
provision which provides that not less than twenty-five per cent

ment are bought upon the installment plan.

and purposes of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act in-
cluding the removal of obstructions to the free flow of interstate and
foreign commerce which tend to diminish the amount thereof, and

porarily required), by increasing the consumption of industrial and
agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by re-
ducing and relieving unemployment, by imiDroving standards of
labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating industry.

spects w^ith the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, includ-
ing without limitation Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a)

KEPORT TO THE PRESIDENT
The President,
The 'White House.
Sik: This is a report on an amendment to the Code of Fair Compe-
tition for the Cocoa and Chocolate Manufacturing Industry as ap-
proved after public hearing conducted in Washington on March 12,.
1934.
Drafts of the Code of Fair Competition for the above Industry
jDrepared and submitted to the Industry at various times and from
time to time prior to May 15, 1934, contained in the trade practice
provisions a paragraph excepting from the operations of the Code
sales for charitable or relief purposes and sales to any government
or governmental agency. Such a provision is considered by the In-
dustry as a whole to be acceptable and beneficial to the Industry.
Said provision making an exception of such sales for charitable or
relief purposes and to any government or governmental agency was
inadvertently and in error omitted from the May 15, 1934 (final)
draft which was submitted to the National Recovery Administration
and assented to by the representatives of the Industry.
The Deputy Administrator in his final report to the National In^
dustrial Recovery Board on said amendment to said Code having
found as herein set forth and on the basis of all the proceedings in.
this matter :
The National Industrial Recovery Board finds that :
(a) The amendment to said Code and the Code as amended are
well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of
the National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of ob-
structions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which
tend to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the gen-
eral welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the
purpose of cooperative action of labor and management under ade-
quate governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair
competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization
of the present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue
restriction of production (except as may be temporarily required),
by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural prod-
ucts through increasing the purchasing power, by reducing and
relieving unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by
otherwise rehabilitating industry.
(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the per-
tinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limita-
tion Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7 and
Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof.
(c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to present the afore-
said amendment on behalf of the industry as a whole.
(d) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed to-
and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices.
(194)
195
(e) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed
to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not
operate to discriminate against them.
(f) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have
not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of
said amendment.
For these reasons the amendment has been approved.

and to be designated as " Rule 13 ", reads as follows :
Rule 13. This Code shall not be construed to prevent any member

liquors for any charitable or relief purposes or in the sales of such
products to any Federal, State or Municipal government or govern-
mental agency. The term " Governmental Agency " as used herein

the general welfare by promoting the organization of industry for
the purpose of cooperative action among trade groups, by inducing
and maintaining united action of labor and management under ade-
quate governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair
competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization
of the present productive capacity of the industries, by avoiding
undue restrictions of production (except as may be temporarily
required), by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricul-
tural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing
and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and
by otherwise rehabilitating industry.

tion Sub-section (a) of Section 3, Sub-section (a) of Section 7 and

REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT
The President,
The 'White House.
Sir: This is a report covering an amendment to the Code of Fair
Competition for the Construction Industry as approved by you on
January 31st, 1934. The amendment has been duly submitted by the
National Code Authority on behalf of the Industry. All those
interested have had ample opportunity to file objections, and no
such objections have been received.
The effect of the amendment to Article III is to permit the Con-
struction Code Authority, subject to proper budgetary control, to
pay a proper and adequate compensation to the Chairman of the
National Construction Planning and Adjustment Board. This
amendment continues that authority granted the Construction Code
Authority to pay the proper expenses of members of the National
and Regional Boards, thus enlarging the opportunity to secure
representation from among those members of the industry who, by
reason of the expense involved, would otherwise be unable to serve.
The Deputy Administrator in his final report to the National
Industrial Recovery Board on said amendment to said Code hav-
ing found as herein set forth and on the basis of the proceedings
in this matter :
It finds that :
(a) The amendment to said Code and the Code as amended are
well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of
the National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of
obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce
which tend to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for
the general welfare by promoting the organization of industry
for the purpose of cooperative action of labor and management
under adequate governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminat-
ing unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible
utilization of the present productive capacity of industries, by avoid-
ing undue restriction of production (except as may be temporarily
required), by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricul-
tural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing
and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and
by otherwise rehabilitating industry.
(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the perti-
nent provision of said Title of said Act, including without limita-
tion Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7 and
Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof.
(c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to present the afore-
said amendment on behalf of the industry as a whole.
(d) The Code as amended is not designed to and will not permit
monopolies or monopolistic practices.

(f) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have

said amendment.
For these reasons, therefore, the National Industrial Recovery
Board has approved said amendment to said Code of Fair Competi-
tion for the Cfonstruction Industry.

The present Amendment, submitted by the Lumber Code Author-

Administrative Agency of the said Subdivision from six to four and
provides that these members shall be elected by a majority vote of
the members of the Industry. This Amendment is designed to effect
economies in the administration of the Code and to eliminate certain
obvious impracticalities which developed under the original
Amendment.
The Deput}^ Administrator in his final report to us on said Amend-

of all the proceedings in this matter ;
We find that:
(a) The Amendment to said Code and the Code as amended are
well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of
the National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of ob-

maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate
governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair com-
petitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of
the present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue
restrictions of production (except as may be temporarily required),
by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural prod-
ucts through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and reliev-
ing unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by other-
wise rehabilitating industry.
(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the per-
tinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limi-
tation Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7 and
Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof.
(c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to present the afore-
mentioned Amendment on behalf of the industry as a whole.
(d) The Amendment and the Code as amended are not designed
to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices.
(216)
217
(e) The Amendment and the Code as amended are not designed
to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not
operate to discriminate against them.

KEPORT TO THE PRESIDENT
The President,
The 'White House.
Sir : This is a report on an amendment of the Code of Fair Com-
petition for the Pleating, Stitching, and Bonnaz and Hand Em-
broidery Industry. The amendment which is attached was pre-
sented by the Code Authority of the Pleating, Stitching, and Bonnaz
and Hand Embroidery Industry Code Authority, on behalf of said
Industry.
A public hearing of which due notice was given all interested par-
ties was held on November 21, 1934, on this amendment. All persons
who requested were fairly heard in accordance with rules and regu-
lations of the National Recovery Administration.
After the hearing, the amendment was revised to conform to sug-
gestions of the Legal Division and was presented to the various
Advisory Boards of the National Recovery Administration for their
examination and report. All such reports received were carefully
considered before approval of the amendment. The Code Authority,
on behalf of the Pleating, Stitching, and Bonnaz and Hand Em-
broidery Industry indicated its assent to the revised amendment in a
certified copy of a duly adopted resolution of the Code Authority
which was presented to the National Recovery Administration.
The Code for this Industry, as approved by you on February 10,
1934, was amended by adding a new article designated as XII, con-
sisting of three sections, which provide that subject to the rules and
regulations of the NRA all products of the Industry shall bear an
NRA Label, which shall have a registration number especially
assigned to each member of the Industry.
The amendment also provides that the charges made by the Code
Authority for the Labels shall be subject to the supervision and order
of the National Industrial Recovery Board and shall be not more
than an amount to cover their costs.
This amendment is designed to insure compliance with provisions
of the Code by making use of the labels mandatory and to symbolize
to customers of the Industry that products purchased from or serv-
ice rendered by members of the Pleating, Stitching, and Bonnaz and
Hand Embroidery Industry have been manufactured in compliance
with the provisions of the Pleating, Stitching, and Bonnaz and Hand
Embroidery Industry Code.

The Deputy Administrator, in his final report to the National
Industrial Recovery Board on said amendment to said Code, having
found as herein set forth and on the basis of all proceedings in this
matter :
(220)
221
It finds that:
(a) The amendment to said Code and the Code as amended are
well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of
the National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of ob-
structions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which
tend to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the gen-
eral welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the pur-
pose of cooperative action among trade groups, by inducing and
maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate
governmental sanction and supervision, hj eliminating unfair com-
petitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the
present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue re-
striction of production (except as may be temporarily required), by
increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products
through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving un-
employment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise
rehabilitating industry.
(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the per-
tinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limi-
tation subsection (a) of Section 3, subsection (a) of Section 7, and
subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof.
(c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to present the afore-
said amendment on behalf of the Industry as a whole.
(d) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed
to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices.
(e) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed
to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not
operate to discriminate against them.
(f) Those engaged in other st'Cps of the economic process have
not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said
amendment.
For the above reasons this amendment has been approved.

KEPORT TO THE PRESIDENT
The President,
The 'White House.
Sir: This is a report on an amendment to the Supplementary
-Code of Fair Competition for the Wood Floor Contracting Divi-
sion of the Construction Industry, which was approved by you on
May 29, 1934.
This change in Section 1 of Article VI of the Code of Fair Com-
petition for the Wood Floor Contracting Division will enable the
Code Authority to assess all contracts amounting to one hundred
dollars ($100.00) or more. As approximately one-fourth of the dol-
lar volume done by members of this Industry is in contract units
of less than five hundred dollars ($500.00), it is necessary that the
Code Authority be empowered to assess contracts of the smaller
amounts in order that sufficient funds be obtained to administer the
Code.
FINDINGS
The Deputy Administrator in his final report on said amendment
to said Code having found as herein set forth and on the basis of
all the proceedings in this matter :
The Board finds that :
(a) The amendment to said Code and the Code as amended are
well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of
the National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of ob-
structions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which
tend to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the gen-

governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair com-
petitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the
present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue restric-
tion of production (except as may be temporarily required), by in-
creasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products
through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving
unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise
rehabilitating industry.
(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the per-
tinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limi-
tation subsection (a) of Section 3, subsection (a) of Section 7 and
subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof.
(c) The Code empowers the Divisional Code Authority to present
the aforesaid amendment on behalf of the industry as a whole.
(d) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed
to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices.
(236)

(e) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed

(f ) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have not

For these reasons, therefore, the National Industrial Recovery-
Board has approved said amendment to the Wood Floor Contracting
Chapter of the Code of Fair Competition of the Construction

mane to these present amendments was held on May 7, 1934. Fair

(3) To include provisions forbidding subterfuge, requiring estab-
lishment and submission to the Administration of standards of
safety and health, requiring the posting of labor provisions, and for-
bidding dismissal for complaints;
(4) To provide representation for jobbers on the Code Authority,
thus making representation more equitable; and
(5) To more adequately set forth the powers and duties of the
Code Authority.

National Industrial Recovery Board on said amendments to said
Code, having found as herein set forth, and on the basis of all the

diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the general wel-
fare by promoting the organization of Industry for the purpose of
cooperative action among trade groups, by inducing and maintain-
ing united action of labor and management under adequate Govern-
mental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive
practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the present
productive capacity of Industries, by avoiding undue restrictions of
production (except as may be temporarily required), by increasing
the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through in-
creasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemploy-
ment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabili-
tating industry.
(240)
241
(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the per-
tinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limita-
tion Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Secton 7 and
Subsecton (b) of Section 10 thereof.

said amendments on behalf of the Industry as a whole.

For these reasons, therefore, said Board has approved said amend-
ments.

" Section 12. Incorporation of Code Authority. The Code Au-
thority may incorporate under the laws of any State of the United
States or the District of Columbia, or may assume or adopt such
existing corporate form under any of such laws as it may deem
appropriate for the proper performance of its activities, powers
and duties under this Code. Such corporation or corporate form
shall be not for profit and it is to be known as ' Retail jNIonument
Code Authority. Inc.'; provided, however, that the powers, duties,
objects and purposes of said corporation shall be limited to the
powers, duties, objects and purposes of the Code Authority, as pro-
vided in this Code; and provided further that the Code Authority

authorities exercisable by the State in question, and its agencies over
the activities of the Code Authoritj^ as a corporation.
" If at any time the National Industrial Recovery Board shall de-
termine that the corporate status assumed by the Code xVuthority is
interfering with the proper exercise of its powers and duties under
this Code, or with the effectuation of the policies or purposes of the
Act, it may, after such notice and hearing as it may deem necessary,
require an appropriate modification of the structure of the Corpora-
tion (if consistent with the law of the State of Incorporation), the
substitution of a corporation created under the laws of another State
in the same manner as the existing Code Authority, the substitution
of a non-corporate Code Authority truly representative of the In-

welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose
of cooperative action among trade groups, by inducing and main-
taining united action of labor and management under adequate
Governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair com-
petitive practices, by ]3romoting the fullest possible utilization of
the present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue
restriction of production (except as may be temporarily required),
by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural prod-
ucts through increasing purchasing i)ower, by reducing and reliev-
ing unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by other-
wise rehabilitating industry.
(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the per-
tinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limita-
tion sub-section (a) of Section 3, sub-section (a) of Section 7 and
sub-section (b) of Section 10 thereof.

which tend to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for
the general wx4fare by promoting the organization of industry for
the purpose of cooperative action among trade groups, by inducing
and maintaining united action of labor and management under
adequate governmental sanction and supervision, by elimimiting un-
fair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utiliza-
tion of the present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding
undue restriction of production (except as may be temporarily re-
quired), by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricul-
tural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing
and relieving unemployment, by improving the standards of labor
and by otherwise rehabilitating industry;
(b)*The Code as amended complies in all respects with the perti-
nent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limita-

REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT
The Presidext,
The Wh/'fe House.
Sir : A Public Hearing was held in Washington, D. C, on August
14, 1934, on a group of Amendments to the Code of Fair Competition
for the Earthenware Manufacturing Industry as submitted by the
Code Authority for that industry and on certain Amendments pro-
posed by the National Recovery Administration.
The Amendments correct certain typographical errors in the
original Code as printed; eliminate the necessity of obtaining the
National Recovery Administration's approval prior to permitting
emergency maintenance and repair emplo3^ees to exceed the maxi-
mum hours when engaged in emergency work involving breakdowns
or protection of life or property ; change the term " api^rentice " as
used in the Code to the word " learners ", as these emploj^ees could
hardly be considered bona fide apprentices; bring into conformity
with present policy certain provisions of the Code such as those gov-
erning handicapped persons, standards of safety and health, post-
ing of labor provisions and dismissal of employees for complaints
of Code violation.
The Deputy in his final report to us on said Amendment to said
Code having found as herein set forth and on the basis of all the
proceedings in this matter :
We find that :
(a) The Amendment to said Code and the Code as amended are
well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of
the National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of ob-
structions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which
tend to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the gen-
eral welfare by promoting the organization of industr}' for the
purpose of cooperative action of labor and management under
adequate governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating
unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utili-
zation of the present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding
undue restriction of production (except as may be temporarily re-
quired), by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricul-
tural products through increasing pui'chasing power, by reducing and
relieving unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by
otherwise rehabilitating industry.
(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the perti-
nent provision of said Title of said Act, inclucling without limita-
tion sub-section (a) of Section 3, sub-section (a) of Section 7 and
sub-section (b) of Section 10 thereof.
(c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to present the afore-
said Amendment on behalf of the industry as a whole.
(314)
315
(d) The Amendment and the Code as amended are not designed
to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices.
(e) The Amendment and the Code as amended are not designed
to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will
not operate to discriminate against them.
(f) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have
not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said
Amendment.
For these reasons, therefore, we have approved this Amendment.

and will provide for the general welfare by promoting the organiza-
tion of industry for the purpose of cooperative action among the
trade groups, by inducing and maintaining united action of labor and
management under adequate gOA^ernmental sanctions and supervision,
by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest
possible utilization of the present productive capacity of industries,
b}^ avoiding undue restriction of production (except as may be tem-
porarily required), by increasing the consumption of industrial and
agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by reduc-
ing and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of labor,
and by otherwise rehabilitating industry.
(b) Said industry normally employs not more than 50,000 em-
ployees ; and is not classified by me as a major industry.

ing to prices or terms of selling, shipping, or marketing, shall apply
to export trade or sales on shipments for export trade. "Export
Trade ", as used herein, is defined to mean export trade as it is used

REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT '
The President,
The White House.
Sir: This is a report on a Supplementary Code of Fair Competi-
tion for the Gasket Manufacturing Industry, a Product Group of the
Automotive Parts and Equipment Manufacturing Industry. A pro-
posed Code was submitted to the Administrator on April 3, 1934
by the Code Authority Committee of the Automotive Parts and
Equipment Manufacturing Industry for the Automotive Gasket
Institute, representing approximately 90% of the total volume of
sales and 57% of the number of members of the Industry.
A Public Hearing on the proposed Code was conducted in Wash-
ington on June 26, 1934 in accordance with the provisions of the
National Industrial Recovery Act. It was thereafter revised and
approved in its present form. This Code is designed primarily to
put into legal effect certain Fair Trade Practice Rules which long
have been recognized in the Industry, but which have been without
binding legal effect. The labor provisions of this Code are those
of the Basic Automotive Parts and Equipment Code. The purpose
of the Code is stated in Article I and Article II is devoted to
definitions.
An Administrative Committee is established in Article III con-
sisting of the Executive Committee of the Automotive Gasket Insti-
tute, but one additional member may be added in the discretion of
the National Industrial Recovery Board to represent the non-
members of the Institute who comply with the Code. The Admin-
istrative Committee will administer the Code under supervision of
the National Recovery Administration.
Fair Trade Practices, designed to effect fair competition among
the members of the Industry, are set forth in Article IV.
FINDINGS
The Deputy Administrator in his final report to the National
Industrial Recovery Board on said Supplementary Code having
found as herein set forth and on the basis of all the proceedings in
this matter:
The National Industrial Recovery Board finds that:
(a) Said Supplementary Code is well designed to promote the
policies and purposes of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery
Act including removal of obstructions to the free flow of interstate
and foreign commerce which tend to diminish the amount thereof,
and will provide for the general welfare by promoting the organi-
zation of industry for the purpose of cooperative action among the
trade groups, by inducing and maintaining united action of labor
and management mider adequate governmental sanction and super-
(334)
335
vision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting
the fullest possible utilization of the present productive capacity of
industries, by avoiding undue restrictions of production, (except
as may be temporarily required), by increasing the consumption of
industrial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing
power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving
standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating industry.
(b) Said Product Group normally employs not more than 50,000
employees ; and is not classified by the National Industrial Recovery
Board as a major industry.
(c) The Supplementary Code, as approved, complies in all re-
spects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act,
including without limitation Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection
(a) of Section 7 and Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof; and that
the applicant Product Group is an industrial Group truly repre-
sentative of the aforesaid Industry; and that said Product Group
imposes no inequitable restrictions on admission to membership
therein.
(d) The Supplementary Code is not designed to and will not per-
mit monopolies or monopolistic practices.
(e) The Supplementary Code is not designed to and will not
eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not operate to dis-
criminate against them.
(f ) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have

penses for the foregoing purposes, and (b) an equitable basis upon
which the funds necessary to support such budget shall be con-
tributed by members of the Product Group ;
(3) After, such budget and basis of contribution have been ap-
proved by the National Industrial Recovery Board, to determine and
obtain equitable contribution as above set forth by all members of
the Product Group, and to that end, if necessary, to institute legal
proceedings therefor in its own name.
(b) Each member of the Product Group shall pay his or its
equitable contribution to the expenses of the maintenance of the

mittee or to receive the benefits of any of its voluntary activities or
to make use of any emblem or insignia of the National Recovery
Administration.
(c) The Administrative Committee shall neither incur nor pay any
obligation substantially in excess of the amount thereof as estimated
in its approved budget, and shall in no event exceed the total amount
contained in the approved budget, except upon approval of the Na-
tional Industrial Recovery Board; and no subsequent budget shall
contain any deficiency item for expenditures in excess of prior budget
estimates except those which the National Industrial Recovery Board
shall have so approved.
(3) (a) The Administrative Committee shall, subject to the ap-
proval of the Code Authority and the National Industrial Recovery

that any action of the Code Authority and/or the Administrative
Committee or any agency thereof may be unfair or unjust or con-
trary to the public interest, the National Industrial Recovery Board
may require that such action be suspended to afford an opportunity
for investigation of the merits of such action and further considera-
tion by such Code Authority and/or the Administrative Committee
or agency pending final action which shall not be effective unless the
National Industrial Recovery Board approves or unless it shall fail
to disapprove after 30 days' notice to it of intention to proceed with

In case of any conflict between the provisions of this Supplementary
Code and the provisions of the Basic Code, the provisions of the
latter shall govern. As required by Section 7 (a) of Title I of the
National Industrial Recovery Act, it is hereby provided :
(1) That employees shall have the right to organize and bargain
collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and shall
be free from the interference, restraint,' or coercion of employers of
labor, or their agents, in the designation of such representatives or
in self-organization or in other concerted activities for the purpose
of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection; (2) that
no employee and no one seeking employment shall be required as a
condition of employment to join any company union or to refrain

Industrial Recovery Board for review. If approved by the National
Industrial Recovery Board, full information concerning such
methods shall be made available to all members of the Product
Group. Thereafter, each member of the Product Group shall utilize
such methods to the extent found practicable. Nothing herein con-
tained shall be construed to permit the Administrative Committee,
any agent thereof, or any member of the Product Group to suggest
uniform additions, percentages or differentials or other uniform
items of cost which are designed to bring about arbitrary uniformity
of costs or prices.
(6) The Administrative Committee shall be empowered to obtain
from members of the industry such information and reports as are re-
quired for the administration of the Code. In addition to informa-
tion required to be submitted to the Code Authority, members of the
industry subject to this Code shall furnish such statistical informa-
tion as the National Industrial Recovery Board may deem necessary
for the purposes recited in Section 3 (a) of the Act to such Federal
and State agencies as it may designate ; provided that nothing in this
Code shall relieve any member of the industry of any existing obliga-
tions to furnish reports to any Government agency. No individual
report shall be disclosed tt> any other member of the industry or any
other party except to such other Governmental agencies as may be
directed by the National Industrial Recovery Board.
Article IV — Trade Practices
In addition to the provisions of Section C of Article VI of the
Basic Code, the following described acts shall constitute unfair prac-
tices and acts of unfair competition :
340
(1) Costs and price cutting. — (a) Wilfully destructive price cut-
ting is an unfair method of competition and is forbidden. Any
member of the Product Group or of any other industry or the cus-
tomers of either may at any time complain to the Administrative
Committee than any filed and/or offered price constitutes unfair
competition as destructive price cutting, imperiling small enterprises
or tending toward monopoly or the impairment of code wages and
working conditions. The Administrative Committee shall within 5
days afford an opportunity to the member filing and/or offering the
price to answer such complaint and shall within 14 days make a
ruling or adjustment thereon. If such ruling is not concurred in by
either party to the complaint, all papers shall be referred to the
Research and Planning Division of NRA which shall render a report
and recommendation thereon to the National Industrial Recovery
Board.
(b) When no declared emergency exists as to any given product,
there is to be no fixed minimum iDasis for prices. It is intended
that sound cost estimating methods should be used and that con-
sideration should be given to costs in the determination of pricing
policies.
(c) When an emergency exists as to any given product sale below
the stated minimum price of such product, in violation of the pro-
visions of paragraphs (d) and (e) hereof, is forbidden.
(d) If the National Industrial Recovery Board, after investiga-
tion shall at any time find both (1) that an emergency has arisen
within the Product Group adversely affecting small enterprises or
wages or labor conditions, or tending toward monopoly or other
acute conditions which tend to defeat the purposes of the Act; and
(2) that the determination of the stated minimum price for a speci-
fied product of the Product Group for a limited period is necessary
to mitigate the conditions constituting such emergency and to
effectuate the purposes of the Act, the Administrative Committee
may cause an impartial agency to investigate costs and to recom-
mend to the National Industrial Recovery Board a determination
of the stated minimum price of the product affected by the emer-
gency and thereupon the National Industrial Recovery Board may
j)roceed to determine such stated minimum price.
(e) When the National Industrial Recovery Board shall have de-
termined such stated minimum price for a specified product^ for a
stated period, which price shall be reasonably calculated to mitigate
the conditions of such emergency and to effectuate the purposes of
the National Industrial Recovery Act, it shall publish such price.
Thereafter, during such stated period, no member of the Product
Group shall sell such specified products at a net realized price be-
low said stated minimum price and any such sale shall be deemed
destructive price cutting. From time to time, the Administrative
Committee may recommend review or reconsideration or the Na-
tional Industrial Recovery Board may cause any determination
hereunder to be reviewed or reconsidered and appropriate action
taken.
(2) Inducing Breach of Contract. — Wilfully and maliciously in-
ducing or attempting to induce the breach of existing contracts be-

National Industrial Recovery Board,
By W. A. Harriman, Ad^ninistrative Officer.
Approval recommended :
Walter G. Hooke,
Acting Division Adtninistrator.
Washington, D. C,
December 20, 1934
KEPOKT TO THE PRESIDENT
The President,
The 'White House.
Sir: This is a report on Chapter XXIII, the Construction News
Service Chapter of tlie Code of Fair Competition for the Construc-
tion Industry, which was approved by you on January 31, 1934, and
which is described as Chapter I.
This Chapter is a revision after public hearings conducted in
Washington on May 8, 1934, in accordance with the provisions of the
National Industrial Recovery Act. This Chapter amplifies Chapter I
but applies specifically to the Construction News Service Division
of the Construction Industry.
PROVISIONS FOR HOURS AND WAGES
The hours set forth in Chapter I of the Construction Code as
approved by you on January 31, 1934, are applicable to this Code.
The proposed minimum wages of Chapter XXIII, although slightly
lower than the wage provisions of Chapter I, the Code of Fair Com-
petition for the Construction Industry, will, according to the statis-
tical analysis of the Division of Research and Planning, increase the
weekly earnings of 105 out of 573 employees, or slightly over 18% of
the total number of employees in this industry.
ECONOMIC EFFECT OF THE CODE
According to the statistical analysis of the Division of Research
and Planning, the proponents of the code estimated that there were
in 1929 ten establishments engaged in this industry, with an estimated
capital investment of about $866,000. For the year 1933 it has been
estimated that there were eighteen firms engaged in the industry with
a capital investment approximately the same as in 1929. The esti-
mated business volume for this year was $2,679,000.
Although this industry is small it is reasonable to predict that the
establishment of uniform rates of pay, uniform hours of work, im-
proved conditions of employment and the prohibition of unfair trade
practices will be beneficial to both the employers and employees of
the industry.
FINDINGS
The Deputy Administrator in his final report to the National
Industrial Recovery Board on said Supplementary Code for the
Construction News Service Division of the Construction Industry,
having found as herein set forth and on the basis of all the pro-
ceedings in this matter ;
(347)
348
The National Industrial Recovery Board finds that :
(a) Said Construction News Service Chapter and said Code of
Fair Competition for the Construction Industry, as supplemented by
said Construction News Service Chapter, are well designed to pro-
mote the policies and purposes of Title I of the National Industrial
Recovery Act, including removal of obstructions to the free flow of
interstate and foreign commerce which tend to diminish the amount
thereof and will provide for the general welfare by promoting the
)rganization of industry for the purposes of cooperative action among
the trade groups, by inducing and maintaining united action of labor
and management under adequate governmental sanctions and super-
vision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the
fullest possible utilization of the present productive capacity of in-
dustries, by avoiding undue restriction of production (except as may
be temporarily required), by increasing the consumption of industrial
and agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by
reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of
labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating industry.
(b) Said Industry normally employs not more than 50,000 em-
ployees; and is not classified by the National Industrial Recovery
Board as a major industry.
(c) Said Construction News Service Chapter and the Code of Fair
Competition for the Construction Industry, as supplemented by said
Construction News Service Chapter, as approved comply in all re-
spects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, includ-
ing without limitation Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a)
of Section 7, and Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof; and that the
applicant association is an industrial association truly representative
of the aforesaid Industry; and that said Association imposes no
inequitable restrictions on admission to membership therein.
(d) Said Construction News Service Chapter and the Code of Fair

EEPORT TO THE PRESIDENT
The President,
The White House.
Sir : This is a report on the Stone Setting Contractors Chapter of
the Code of Fair Competition for the Construction Industry which
is described as Chapter I and which was approved by you on January
31, 1934.
This Chapter is a revision after a public hearing conducted in
Washington on April 20, 1934, in accordance with the provisions of
the National Industrial Recovery Act, This Chapter amplifies Chap-
ter I, but applies specifically to the Stone Setting Contractors Divison
of the Construction Industry.
PROVISIONS FOR HOURS AND WAGES
With very minor exceptions, the hours and wages set forth in
Chapter I of the Construction Code as approved by you on January
31, 1934 are applicable to this Code.
ECONOMIC EFFECT OF THE CODE
No official or other authentic data are available to show the approx-
imate amount of business done by members of this Division. Esti-
mates indicate that approximately 13,100 employees were engaged in
this Industry in 1929 and 5,120 in 1933.
It is reasonable to predict that the establishment of uniform rates
of pay and hours of work and the prohibition of unfair trade prac-
tices will be beneficial to this Industry as well as to the employees and
the consumer.
FINDINGS
The Deputy Administrator in his final report to the National
Industrial Recovery Board on said Stone Setting Contractors Chap-
ter of the Code of Fair Competition for the Construction Industry,
having found as herein set forth and on the basis of all the pro-
ceedings in this matter;
The National Industrial Recovery Board finds that:
(a) Said Stone Setting Contractors Chapter and said Code of
Fair Competition for the Construction Industry, as supplemented
by said Stone Setting Contractors Chapter, are well designed to
promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the National Indus-
trial Recovery Act. including removal of obstructions to the free
flow of interstate and foreign commerce which tend to diminish the
amount thereof and will provide for the general welfare by promot-
ing tlie organization of industry for the purpose of cooperative
(358)
359
action among the trade groups, by inducing and maintaining united
action of labor and management under adequate governmental
sanctions and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive prac-
tices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the present
productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue restriction
of production (except as may be temporarily required), by increas-
ing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through
increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemploy-
ment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitat-
ing industry.
(b) Said Industry normally employs not more than 50,000 employ-
ees ; and is not classified by the National Industrial Recovery Board
as a major industry.
(c) Said Stone Setting Contractors Chapter and the Code of Fair
Competition for the Construction Industry, as supplemented by
said Stone Setting Contractors Chapter, as approved comply in all
respects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, in-
cluding without limitation Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection
(a) of Section 7, and Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof; and that
the applicant association is an industrial association truly repre-
sentative of the aforesaid Industry; and that said Association im-
poses no inequitable restrictions on admission to membership therein.
(d) Said Stone Setting Contractors Chapter and the Code of Fair
Competition for the Construction Industry, as supplemented by said
Stone Setting Contractors Chapter are not designed to and will not
permit monopolies or monopolistic practices.
(e) Said Stone Setting Contractors Chapter and the Code of
Fair Competition for the Construction Industry, as supplemented by
said Stone Setting Contractors Chapter, are not designed to and
will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not operate
to discriminate against them.
(f ) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have not
been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said
Stone Setting Contractors Chapter and of said Code, as supple-
mented by this Stone Setting Contractors Chapter thereof.
For these reasons, therefore, the National Industrial Recovery
Board has approved said Stone Setting Contractors Chapter of the
Code of Fair Competition for the Construction Industry.

ity, determined as hereinabove provided, and subject to rules and
regulations pertaining thereto issued by the National Industrial
Recovery Board. Only members of this Division complying with
the code and contributing to the expenses of its administration as
hereinabove provided, unless duly exempted from making such con-
tributions, shall be entitled to participate in the selection of mem-
bers of the Code Authority or to receive the benefits of any of its
voluntary activities or to make use of any emblem or insignia of the
National Recovery Administration,
(c) The Code Authority shall neither incur nor pay any obliga-
tion substantially in excess of the amount thereof as estimated in

contained in the approved budget, except upon approval of the
National Industrial Recovery Board ; and no subsequent budget shall
contain any deficiency item for expenditures in excess of prior budget
estimates except those which the National Industrial Recovery Board
shall have so approved.
Section 4. Costs and Price Cutting. — (a) The standards of fair
competition for the Industry with reference to pricing practices are
declared to be as follows:
(1) Wilfully destructive price cutting is an unfair method of
competition and is forbidden. Any member of the Industry or of
any other Industry or the customers of either may at any time com-
plain to the Code Authority that any filed price constitutes unfair
competition as destructive price cutting, imperiling small enterprises
or tending toward monopoly or the impairment of code wages and
working conditions. The Code Authority shall within five (5) days
afford an opportunity to the member filing the price to answer such
complaint and shall within fourteen (14) days make a ruling or
adjustment thereon. If such a ruling is not concurred in by either
party to the complaint, all papers shall be referred to the Research
and Planning Division of NRA which shall render a report and
recommendation thereon to the National Industrial Recovery Board.
(2) When no declared emergency exists as to any given product,
there is to be no fixed minimum basis for prices. It is intended that
364
sound cost estimating methods should be used and that consideration
should be given to costs in the determination of pricing policies.
(3) When an emergency exists as to any given product, sale below
the stated minimum price of such product, in violation of (b) hereof,
is forbidden.
(b) Emergency Provisions. — (1) If the National Industrial Re-
covery Board, after investigation shall at any time find both (a)
that an emergency has arisen within the Industry adversely affecting
small enterprises or wages or labor conditions, or tending toward
monopoly or other acute conditions which tend to defeat the purposes
of the Act; (b) that the determination of the stated minimum price
for a specified product within the Industry for a limited period is
necessary to mitigate the conditions constituting such emergency and
to effectuate the purposes of the Act, the Code Authority may cause
an impartial agency to investigate costs and to recommend to the
National Industrial Recovery Board a determination of the stated
minimum price of the product affected by the emergency and there-
upon the National Industrial Recovery Board may proceed to deter-
mine such stated minimum price.
(2) Wlien the National Industrial Recovery Board shall have
determined such stated minimum price for a specified product for
a stated period, which price shall be reasonably calculated to mitigate
the conditions of such emergency and to effectuate the purposes of
the National Industrial Recovery Act, it shall publish such price.
Thereafter, during such stated period, no member of the Industry
shall sell such specified products at a net realized price below said
stated minimum price and any such sale shall be deemed destructive
price cutting. From time to time, the Code Authority may recom-
mend review or reconsideration or the National Industrial Recovery
Board may cause any determinations hereunder to be reviewed or
reconsidered and appropriate action taken.

REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT
The President,
The 'White House.
Sir : This is a report on the Supplemental Code of Fair Competi-
tion for the Coal Mine Loading Machine Subdivision of the Machin-
ery and Allied Products Industry, Public Hearing having been con-
ducted thereon in Washington, D. C, September 25, 1934, in accord-
ance with the provisions of Title I of the National Industrial
Recovery Act.
GENERAL STATEMENT
The Coal Mine Loading Machine Subdivision, being truly repre-
sentative of the manufacturers of the products defined in Article'
II of the Supplemental Code, has elected to formulate and submit a
Supplemental Code of Fair Competition as provided in the second
paragraph of Article I of the Code of Fair Competition for the
Machinery and Allied Products Industry, approved by you on the
seventeenth day of March, 1934.
The Subdivision includes the manufacturing and/or assembling
for sale and selling by the manufacturer and/or assembler, for use
in loading coal or other material underground in coal mines, mobile
types of loading machines ; including spare, repair and replacement
parts thereof and supplies and/or equipment incident thereto when
manufactured and/or sold by a manufacturer of such mobile types of
loading machines.
Statistical material bearing on this Subdivision was obtained from
the code application submitted by the Coal Mine Loading Machine
Manufacturers' Association. The above-mentioned association claims
to represent 90 per cent of the entire Subdivision measured by dollar
volume of business.
Annual sales in 1933, according to the association, declined to
less than one-third the 1929 level. In 1929 sales were reported at
$1,811,900 and in 1933 at $573,000.
Estimates showing employment for the entire Subdivision, sub*
mitted by the association, indicate that employment declined from
160 in 1929 to 101 in 1933, or 36.8 per cent.

FINDINGS
The Assistant Deputy Administrator in his final report to the
National Industrial Recovery Board on said Supplemental Code hav-
ing found as herein set forth and on the basis of all the proceedings
in this matter :
The National Industrial Recover^' Board finds that :
(a) Said Supplemental Code is well designed to promote the poli-
cies and purposes of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery
Act, including removal of obstructions to the free flow of interstate
and foreign commerce which tend to diminish the amount thereof
and will provide for the general welfare by promoting the organiza-
tion of industry for the purpose of cooperative action among the
trade groups, by inducing and maintaining united action of labor
and management under adequate governmental sanctions and super-
vision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting
the fullest possible utilization of the present productive capacity of
industries, by avoiding undue restriction of production (except as
may be temporarily required), by increasing the consumption of
industrial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing
power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving
standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating industry.
(b) Said Industry normally employs not more than 50,000 em-
ployees ; and is not classified by the National Industrial Recovery
Board as a major industry.
(c) The SupplementarCode as approved complies in all respects
with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including
372
without limitation Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of
Section 7, and Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof; and that the
applicant association is an industrial association truly representative
of the aforesaid Industry; and that said association imposes no
inequitable restrictions on admission to membership therein.
(d) The Supplemental Code is not designed to and will not permit
monopolies or monopolistic practices.
(e) The Supplemental Code is not designed to and will not elimi-
nate or oppress small enterprises and will not operate to discrimi-
nate against them.
(f ) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have not
been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said Sup-
plemental Code.
For these reasons, therefore, the National Industrial Recovery
Board has approved this Supplemental Code.
For the National Industrial Recovery Board :

provisions of Article V hereof. After and in the event such with-
drawal is accomplished this Supplemental Code, together with the
provisions of the Code shall become and be the sole code governing
this Subdivision, and the Code Authority shall, for this Subdivision,
become and be the sole Code Authority and shall perform all the
functions with respect thereto.

REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT
The President,
The White House.
Sir : This is a report on the Supplemental Code of Fair Competi-
tion for the Coal Cutting Machine Subdivision of the Machinery
and Allied Products Industry, Public Hearing having been con-
ducted thereon in Washington, D. C, September 25, 1934, in accord-
ance with the provisions of Title I of the National Industrial
Recovery Act.
GENERAL STATEMENT
The Coal Cutting Machine Subdivision, being truly representa-
tive of the manufacturers of the products defined in Article II of the
Supplemental Code, has elected to formulate and submit a Supple-
mental Code of Fair Competition as provided in the second para-
graph of Article I of the Code of Fair Competition for the Ma-
chinery and Allied Products Industry, approved by j^ou on the
seventeenth day of March, 1934.
The Subdivision includes the manufacturing and/or assembling
for sale and selling by the manufacturer and/or assembler, of coal
cutting machines most commonly used underground in coal mines,
but which may be used in the production of other minerals such as
rock salt, potash, and gypsum. Included in the manufacturing
and/or assembling for sale and selling of coal cutting machines are
spare, repair and replacement parts thereof and supplies and/or
equipment incident thereto when manufactured and/or sold by a
manufacturer of such coal cutting machines.
Statistical material bearing on this Subdivision was obtained
from the code application submitted by the Coal Cutting Machine
Manufacturers' Association. The above-mentioned association
claims to represent 95 per cent of the entire Subdivision measured
by dollar volume of business.
Annual sales in 1933, according to the association, declined to less
than one-third the 1929 level. In 1929 sales were reported at $6,965,-
500 and in 1933 at $2,005,700.
Estimates showing employment for the entire subdivision, sub-
mitted by the association, indicate that employment declined from
1482 in 1929 to 847 in 1933, or 42.8 per cent.
RESUME OF SUPPLEMENTAL CODE
Article I states the purposes of the Supplemental Code.
Article II accurately defines specific terms applicable to the Sub-
division as used in this Supplemental Code.
Article III provides for the adoption of the employment provisions
of the National Industrial Recovery Code of the Machinery and
(380)

FINDINGS
The Assistant Deputy Administrator in his final report to the
National Industrial Recovery Board on said Supplemental Code
having found as herein set forth and on the basis of all the proceed-
ings in this matter :
The National Industrial Recovery Board finds that :
(a) Said Supplemental Code is well designed to promote the pol-
icies and purposes of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery
Act, including removal of obstructions to the free flow of interstate
and foreign commerce which tend to diminish the amount thereof
and will provide for the general welfare by promoting the organiza-
tion of industry for the purpose of cooperative action among the
trade groups, by inducing and maintaining united action of labor and
management under adequate governmental sanctions and supervi-
sion, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the
fullest possible utilization of the present productive capacity of
industries, by avoiding undue restriction of production (except as
may be temporarily required), by increasing the consumption of
industrial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing
power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving
standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating industry.
(b) S'aid Industry normally employs not more than 50,000 em-
ployees; and is not classified by the National Industrial Recovery
Board as a major industry.
382
(c) The Supplemental Code as approved complies in all respects
with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including
without limitation Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) oi
Section 7, and Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof; and that the
applicant association is an industrial association truly representative
of the aforesaid Industry; and that said association imposes no
inequitable restrictions on admission to membership therein.
(d) The Supplemental Code is not designed to and will not permit
monopolies or monopolistic practices.
(e) The Supplemental Code is not designed to and will not
eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not operate to
discriminate against them.
(f ) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have not
been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said
Supplemental Code.
For these reasons, therefore, the National Industrial Recovery
Board has approved this Supplemental Code.

Order, Code of Fair Competition for the Nee*dlework Industry
IN Puerto Rico — Granting an Application of the Code
Authority for the Needlework Industry in Puerto Rico and
Approving the Recommendations of the Piece Rates Commis-
sion FOR a Modification of Piece-Work Rates and a Condi-
tional Exemption from Section 3 of Article IV
WHEREAS, under the provisions of Section 5 of Article IV of the
Code, and Section 5 of the Order of the President of the United
States approving the said Code, dated June 28, 1934, the Piece
Rates Commission duly established a schedule of piece-work rates
for home-workers based upon a minimum rate of pay of two dollars
($2.00) per week; and
WHEREAS, upon the recommendation of the said Piece Rates
Commission and by the Order of the National Industrial Recovery
Board Number 474-8, dated October 19, 1934, the said piece-work
rates were continued in effect to and including April 19, 1935; and
WHEREAS, the said Piece Rates Commission and the Deputy
Administrator for Puerto Rico have reported and it appears to our
satisfaction that the Needlework Industry in Puerto Rico is in serious
economic straits due to the substantial curtailment and falling off of
business since the establishment of the said piece-work rates, resulting
in wide-spread unemployment and economic distress among needle-
workers; and
WHEREAS, the said Deputy Administrator for Puerto Rico and
the said Commission have reported and it appears to our satisfaction
that the condition above described is due primarily to the fact that
certain of the said piece-work rates are excessive in their application
to certain needlework operations, and that the periods for which
piece-work rates have been approved in the past have been too short
to allow for stabilization of business and planning for the future; and
WHEREAS, the said Deputy Administrator for Puerto Rico and
the said Commission have recommended that certain of such piece-
work rates be modified and that a revised schedule of piece-work
rates contained in Exhibits "A", "B", "C", "D", ''E", and ''F"
hereto annexed be made effective until January 1, 1936; and
WHEREAS, the Deputy Administrator for Puerto Rico has found
and reported and it appears to our satisfaction that unless the said
piece-work rates are made effective as modified in accordance with
Exhibits "A", "B", "C", "D",/'E", and ''F" hereto annexed
until January 1, 1936, the economic distress of the members of the
Needlework Industry in the Territory of Puerto Rico and needlework-
ers will become more acute, and that such modification will have the
effect of securing business for the members of the said Industry and
work for needleworkers ; and
WHEREAS, the Code Authority for the Needlework Industry in
Puerto Rico has made due application for such modification of said
piece-work rates and a conditional exemption from Section 3 of
Article IV of the Code ; and
WHEREAS, the Governor of Puerto Rico has recommended, and
the representative of needlework labor in Puerto Rico has stated
that in view of the premises he does not oppose the said modification
of the said piece-work rates and the conditional exemption lierein-
below granted; and
408
WHEREAS, the reports and recommendations submitted to us
Jiave indicated and we find that the said proposed modification of the
said piece-work rates contained in Exhibits ''A", "B", "C", "D",
*'E", and "F" hereto annexed and the continuance thereof until
January f , 1936, will tend to effectuate the policies of Title I of the
National Industrial Recovery Act;
NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to authority vested in it by the
Executive Orders of the President of the United States, including
Executive Order No. 6590-A, dated February 8, 1934 and Executive
Order No. 6859, dated September 24, 1934, and otherwise the Na-
tional Industrial Recovery Board does hereby order as follows:
1. All members of the Needlework Industry in Puerto Rico be
and they hereby are conditionally exempted from the provisions of
Section 3 of Article IV of the Code upon the express condition,
however, and, provided, that as to all operations itemized in Exhibits
''A", "B", ''C", "D", "E", and ''F" on work distributed on and
subsequent to the effective date of this order no employee of any
member of the said industry who is engaged in work in a home shall
be paid at less than the piece-work rates set forth in the revised
schedule of piece-work rates contained in Exhibits "A", "B", "C",
"D", "E", and "F" hereto annexed and made a part hereof.
"2. The conditional exemption granted in this order and the revised
schedule of piece-work rates contained in Exhibits "A", "B", "C",
"D", "E", and "F" hereto annexed shall become effective on the
8th day of January 1935, unless good cause to the contrary is shown to
the National Industrial Recovery Board prior thereto, and another
order amending, moclif5dng or cancelling this order be issued.
3. The conditional exemption contained in this order and the
revised schedule of piece-work rates contained in Exhibits "A",
''B", "C", "D", "E", and "F" hereto annexed shall continue in
effect until June 16, 1935, or, until January 1, 1936, if congressional
legislation extending the National Industrial Recovery Act or the
enactment of other congressional legislation covering the subject
matter of the National Industrial Recovery Act permits the conditional
exemption granted herein to be extended beyond June 16, 1935.
4. Upon due application and upon good cause shown that the
schedule of piece-work rates set forth in Exhibits ''A", "B", "C",
"D", "E", and "F" hereto annexed and the conditional exemption
herein granted do not tend to effectuate the policies of the National
Industrial Recovery Act, all interested persons shall be afforded an

merchandise by members of the Candy Manufacturing Industry:
Distressed Merchandise is defined as candy in suitable condition for
human consumption which is defective, etc., only because of seasonal
or market conditions and which must be disposed of to prevent fur-
ther loss to the manufacturer.
Sales of such candy at a price below cost may be made by a member
of the industry under the following conditions:
1. AVhere the name of the product appears on the container, or in
the case of an all-over name design, at least once on the top and each
side of the container, the words "Distress Mdse." shall be stamped or
marked clearly and indelibly across the name of the product, and such
stamping or marking shall be done in letters not less than one half inch
in height.
2. The member shall furnish immediately both the Code Authority
and the chairman of the zone in which the member's place of business
is located, the name and filed price of the product, the quantity sold,
all terms and conditions of sale, a description of the product, the names
and addresses of the buyer or buyers, and the facts as to why the mem-
ber deems the goods to be distressed merchandise.
3. All wrappers shall be removed by the member from each wrapped
bar and each piece of penny goods.
4. Candy made for a special day or holiday shall not be sold as dis-
tressed merchandise prior to the day or holida}^ for which it was made.
5. If, upon proper facts, the Code Authority shall consider that a
member of the industry has engaged in the sale of distressed merchan-
dise as a subterfuge to evade the provisions of this Code, it may,
subject to the approval of the Administrator, require that such meni-
ber shall first secure the approval of the Code Authority as a prelimi-
nary to any future sale of distressed merchandise by such member; and
WHEREAS, the Deputy Administrator has recommended and it
appears to our satisfaction that the purposes of the Code and of Title I
of the National Industrial Recovery Act will be promoted by the
adoption of the above rules;
NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to authority vested in the Na-

Establishing Single Assessment Principle for Establishments
Engaged in Retail Distribution
WHEREAS overlapping and multiple assessments imder codes of
fair competition impose hardships on establishments operating under
more than one code in so far as they are engaged in retail distribution ;
NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to authority vested in the National
Industrial Recovery Board under Title I of the National Industrial
Recovery Act by Executive Orders of the President, includmg
Executive Order No. 6859, dated September 27, 1934, and otherwise,
it is hereby ordered:
1. Definitions. — For the purposes of this order the following terms
are defined as indicated:
(1) A "retail establishment" or an "establishment" is a single
estabUshment engaged in whole or in part in retail distribution.
(2) "Principal line" is that portion of an establishment's retail
business as defined by a code, which exceeds in dollar volume any
other portion of that establishment's retail business subject to any
other code.
(3) "Prmcipal line code" is the code which governs the principal
line of a retail establishment.
(4) "Minor line" is a portion of an establishment's retail business
as defined by a particular code, which portion is not the principal
line of such establishment.
(5) "Minor line code" is the code which governs a minor line of a
retail estabUshment.
2. Any exemption granted by Paragraph III of Administrative
Order X-36 or by Administrative Order X-78 shall cease to be in
effect on and after January 1, 1935, in so far as it applies to the retail
business of retail establishments.
3. The principle that a single retail establishment in so far as it is
engaged in retail distribution shall pay a single assessment upon its
total retail business for the expenses of code administration is hereby
recognized and established as follows:
(a) Every retail establishment shall, except as otherwise hereinafter
provided, contribute a single assessment to the expense of administra-
tion of its principal Une code based upon its total retail business
either (1) at the rate of assessment approved for such principle line
code, or (2) upon its principal line at the rate of assessment approved
for the principal line code, and upon each minor line at the rate
approved for each minor line code.
4. In order to effect the foregoing single assessment principle, it is
further ordered:
(a) Any retail establishment which makes payment to the expenses
of administration of its principle line code authority as provided in
paragraph 3 hereof, and duly certifies such fact shall thereby be
114532—35 24

•exempt from any obligation to contribute to any minor line code
authority for the period for which such payment has been made.
Such certification shall be made to any retail code authority requesting
contribution, and shall state the date and amount of and the period
covered by such payment.
(b) An establishment, in computing such payment to the principal
line code authority, may deduct, and shall receive credit, fer that
portion of its retail business and for that period (to the extent that
such period is within the period of the current assessment) for which
payment has been made to the expenses of administration of any
other code authority; provided that it shall certify to the principal
line code authority the name of each code as to which credit is claimed,
the date and amount of payment made and the period covered thereby.
(c) Nothing herein contained shall prev^ent or invahdate agree-
ments with regard to the collection or allocation of assessments
heretofore or hereafter entered mto by two or more code authorities
with the approval of the National Recovery Administration.
(d) Any principal line code authority which accepts from an estab-
lishment a contribution based on a minor line business shall thereby
be subject to the obligation of furnishing to such minor line code
authority such assistance in administration and compliance as may
reasonably be requested by it as to such establishment. Nothing
herein shall deprive such minor line code authority of the right to
administer and secure compliance with its code as to the business of
such establishment which is subject to its code.
5. Any retail establishment refusing to recognize the single assess-
ment principle may refrain from contributing to the principal line
code authority on its minor line business, only as to such minor line
business as to which it certifies to its principle line code authority
(a) the amount of such business by dollar volume, (b) the portions of
such business governed by each minor line code, (c) that payment
has been or will be duly made to all code authorities for such minor
line codes, and (d) the' amount and date of payments made and for
what periods under each code. Such certification shall be made within
fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of contribution due from the
principal line code authority.
This order shall become effective as of Januaiy 1, 1935, unless good
cause to the contrary is shown on or before January 21, 1935, and a
subsequent order is issued on or before January 25, 1935.
