56968°----544-27----34 (1) 
REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The TV hite House. 

SIR: This is a report on the Hearing on the Code of Fair 

Competition for the Batting and Padding Industry, conducted in 

Washington, D.C., on January 30, 1934. 

In accordance with the customary procednr every person who 

filed a request for appearance was freely heard in publi , and all 

statutory and regulatory requirements were complied with. 

The Code which is attached, was presented by duly qualified 

and authorized representatives of the Industry, claiming to represent 

80 per cent of the capacity of the Industry. 

GENERAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE INDU TRY 

This Industry includes the manufacture of batts and pads used 

in the uphol tering of automobile bodies, of furniture, and in the 

manufacture of comforters and mattresses as well as for insulating 

purpo es. These products are manufactured principally from cotton, wool, or other resilient fibres by processing them over garnetts 

or cards. 

This Industry which is over 50 years old was originally developed 

for the purpose of manufacturing mattress felts or batts for the 

Mattress Industry. Since that time it has become useful in the 

upholstering of furniture, while now over 50 per cent of the production of cotton batting is used by the Automobile Industry in the 

uphol tering of automobile cushions. In its processes, this Industry is related to the Dry Goods Cotton 

Batting Industry and to the Wadding Industry, although it is 

larger than the other two, consisting of approximately 65 plants 

throughout the country. 

Because of the resilience of the product it must be packed in 

very loose bales or boxes, thus making storage of the product practically impo sible. Further, if the product is permitted to stand 

for any length of time, it loses its resilience and becomes compact 

by its own weight. 

The peak periods in the Automobile and Furniture Industries have 

a very definite effect in bringing about peak periods in this Industry. 

PROVISIONS OF THE CODE 

The labor provisions of this Code are similar in many ways to 

those of the Code of Fair Competition for the Bedding Industry 

because of the fact that many of the manufacturer of batting and 

padding al o manufacture products which go int<;> the manufacture 

of mattres. es. 

Since many of these plants exist in textile centers the minjmum 

wage rate in the northern section of the United States is 32lj2¢ 

per hour while· in the southern section it is 30¢ per hour as established in the Code of Fair Competition for the Cotton Textile 

Industry. 

(2) 
3 

Provisions relati e to maximum hour call for a work week of 

40 hours with a maximum of 48 hours permitted for weeks during 

any 6 months period, as a peak period i nece. ary to the I ndustry 

in view of the ·easonal deman l from th Aut omobile and Furniture 

Indu tries as de. cribed above. Becau ... e of unfortunate condition which h aYe exi ted within the 

Indu try during the pa t f ew year , it ba. been foun l nece ary t o 

include certain provi ions prohibiting the use of econd hand material , which ha been an up etting factor throughout th I ndu try 

for some time. Certain other provi ions are included relative to 

Trade Practic · 'ITithin the Indu try which it is felt c1 irable to 

include to aid in stabilizing the Indu try. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Admini trator in his final report to me on said Code 

havina found as herein set forth and on the basi of all the proceedings in this matter; 

I find that : 

(a) Said 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 organization of industry for the purpose of cooperative action among the trade groups, 

by inducing and maintaining united action of labor and manage- ment under 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 temporarily required), by increasing the con umption of industrial and 

agricultural products through increasing purcha ing 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 employees; and is not classified by me as a major industry. 

(c) The Code as approved complies in all r espects with the 

pertinent provisions of sai 1 Title of said Act, including without 

limitation Sub ection (a) of Section 3 Subsection (a) of Section 7, 

and Sub ection (b) of Section 10 thereof· and that the applicant 

as ociation i. an industrial association truly representative of the 

afore aid Industry· and that said association imposes no inequitable 

restriction on admission to membership therein. 

(d) The Code is not designed to and will not permit monopolies 

or monopoli tic practices. 

(e) The Code i not designed to and will not eliminate or oppress 

small nt rprise and will not operate to discriminat against them. 

(f) Those engaged in other step of the economi pro e hav not 

been deprived of the rio·ht to b h ard prior to approval of aid 

Col . 

For the r ea80L.·. th Cod has b en appro'\ ed.
