DECEMBER 6, 1933. 

The PRE IDENT, 

The Whit House. 

Sm: A propo eel Code of Fair Competition for the Cotton Cloth 

GloYe lanu:facturing Inclu try was submitted by the National Associ&tion of C0tton Cloth Glove Manufacturer , and a hearing thereon 

wa held the 7th day of September 1933. Every person who filed a 

reque t :for an appearance was fully heard in accordance with statutory and regulatory requirements. 

The product of the manufacturers in the Indu try consi ts of 

ninety-nine percent Canton flannel, jer ey, and leather-pal,m combination work gloves and mittens; the remaining one percent consisting 

of all-leather work glove is purely incidental. 

The ubmitting Association, founded in 1913, represents approximately ninety-four percent of the Industry by volume of business 

and forty-six out of sixty-nine manufacturers in the Industry. 

The As ociation imposes no inequitable restrictions on admission 

to member hip. However to guard against the possibility of inequitable restrictions being imposed in the future, the bylaws of the 

Association are now being revised. 

RES tl!E OF CODE AS TO HOURS AXD WAGES 

The Code provide for a forty-hour week and eight-hour day, except that during the . ea onal period between July 1st and ovember 1 t a tolerance of ten percent is allowed to meet peak demand. 

Employee. in a managerial executive or supervisory capacity, in 

office or factory, wl1-0 receive $35.00 per week or more and employees 

in ontside sales force, will be exempted from the nrnximum hours 

proYision. The hour of watchmen and drivers are limited to fifty-

:four and fort. r-eight respectively; watchmen are permitted to work 

only six clay in any one week. Employees on emergency work are 

permitted overtime with payment of at least time and one third for 

hoqr worked in exce of the maximum. 

The minimum wages ar at the rate of 40 cent per hour for glove 

cutters ( other than scrap leather cutters) ; 321⁄2 cents per hour for 

gloYe se"ers and 30 cents per hour for other employees not otherwi e provided for (including scrap leather cutter ) . ' Scrap 

l ather " is defined in the Code a "leather remaining after palms, 

thumb and finger have been cut." 

Office employee under twenty-one years of age are guaranteed a 

minimum "·age of , 12.00 per week for forty hours of work; those 

twenty-one year of age and over are guaranteed a minimum "age 

of $15.00 for a forty-hour week. 

(526) 
527 

It is provided that :for a learning period of twenty-fonr weeks 

"beginners" shall receive at least the regnlar piecc,n Jrk rates <:11r-

~ently in effect, with a guarantee of at least sixty-fiyc pe rcent of the 

minimum wage. The maximum number of '' beginners ·, that may 

be employed in this Industry is fixed at ten percent of the total 

nurn ber of employees. 

It is provided that handicapped workers ('' substandarcls ') shall 

receive at least the regular piecework r ate cnrrently in effect, ,Yith a 

guarantee of at least sixty-fi,·e percent of the minimum wage. The 

maximum number of such employees i. fixed at ten percent of the 

total number of employees. 

The above provisions met with serious objections on the grounds 

that they would make it possible for twenty percent of the total 

employees to be paid less than the minimum wage prescribed in the 

Code. For this reason the Code specifies that the Code Authority 

shall investigate the problem of " beginners" and "substandarcls " 

and report the findings of such investigation to the Administrator, so 

that he may determine whether the provisions concerning these 

employees shall be changed. 

Child labor is prohibited and the minimum wages provided are 

guaranteed whether the employee is compensated on a time-rate, 

piece-rate, or salary basis. 

ECOKOMIC EFFECTS OF THE C'ODE 

According to the report of the Research and Planning Division, 

9,279 wage earners were employed in this Industry during 19:29 

and 7,101 during 1931. It is estimated that the forty-hour week 

established in this code should increase present employment in this 

Industry by 1,420, which would bring the tot al figure up to approximately 8,400. 

The same report shows that the average salary receiYed for all 

employees in this Industry during 1931 ,,..a $8.9 per week. During 

1929, a peak year, the average salary for all employee combined 

amounted to only $12.25 a "·eek. 

The lowest minimum in the Code (for '· beginner " and '· substandards " ) is $7.80 for a week of forty hours. " Beginners", 

doing the work of glove sewers, will receiYe at least $8.45 per 

week of forty hours. The lo-we. t minimum ,,..age for employees other 

than •· beginners " and " ubstandards '' i $12.00 per werk of forty 

hour. 

FIN DIXGS 

I find that: 

This Code complies in all respects ,vith the pertinent prov1s10ns 

of Title I of the Act, including without limitation, sub-section (a) 

of Section 7, and Sub-section (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

The applicant group i · truly representatiYe of the industry, and 

the bylaws of the Association, when amended in accordance with 

suggestions made by the National Recovery Administration, will not 

impose inequitable restrictions upon membership. 
528 

The Colle a recommended is not designed to promote monopolies 

or to eliminate or oppress mall enterprises, and will not operate 

to discriminate against them and will tend to effectuate the policy of 

the Title I of the National Recovery Act. 

Accordingly I here,by recommend the approval of this proposed 

Code of Fair Competition for the Cotton Cloth Glove Manufacturing Industry. 

Respectfully, 

HUGH S. JOHNSON, 

Ad1ninistrator.
