REPORT TO THE PRESIDE T 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: This is a report on Chapter XI of the Code of Fair Compe- tition for the Construction Industry, which Chapter is a revi ion, 

after a formal public hearing on February 14, 1934 of a Code of 

Fair Competition for the Kalamein Industry. 

This Chapter, applicable specifically to the Kalamein Division of 

the Construction Inclu try, supplements the ba ic Code of Fair Competition for the Construction Industry described as Chapter I of 

fuch ode which was approved by you on January 31 1934. The 

hearing was conducted in accordance with the provi ion of the 

National Industrial Recovery Act. 

THE INDUSTRY 

The Kalamein Division of the Construction Industry includes the 

manufacture, supplying and/or installing in building or other fixed 

structure of sheet metal-covered wood, windows, doors, partitions, 

jambs, trim, base picture moulding, or any other sheet metal-covered 

wood products. It is not one of the larger divisions of the industry, 

but has gained in importance over a period of years. 

PROVISIONS FOR HOURS AND WAGES 

Excepting additional provisions beneficial to employees the hours 

und wages set forth in Chapter I of the Construction Code as approved by you on January 31, 1934, are applicable to this Code. 

ECONOJ.\IIC EFFECT OF THE CODE 

Accor ling to the statistical analysis of the Divi ion of Re earch 

and Planning, the volume of business of this Division in 1929 was 

,,'10 000,000. In 1933 the estimated volume had dwindled to G50 000. 

In 1929, 1,250 were employed, and in 1933 only 750. 

Although the rate specified in the Code will dir ctly affect only 

un killed labor, or 5% of the total number of employees it is reaonable to predict that the prohibition of unfair pra tice will be 

beneficial to the industry as -well as to the employees ancl the con- umer. 

FINDINGS 

Th Deputy dmini trator in hi final report to m 

m in Chapt r of th ode of Fair Competition for th on truction 

Inclu try having foun l a herein set forth and on the ba i 

pr lings in thi matter; 

(2) 
3 

I find that: 

(a) Said Kalamein Chapter and said Code of Fair Competition 

for the Con truction Industry, as supplemented by said Chapter, 

are well designed to promote the policies and purpo es of Title I of 

the ational Industrial Recovery Act, including removal of obstructions to the free flow of inter tate and foreign commerce which tend 

to dimini h the amount thereof and will provide for the general welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose of 

cooperati·ve action among the trade groups, by inducing and maintainino- united action of labor and management under adequate governm ntal sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest pos ible utilization of the 

pre ent productive capacity of indu tries, by avoiding undue re triction of production ( except as may be temporarily required), by in- crea ing the con umption of industrial and agricultural products 

through increasing purcha ing power, by reducing and relieving unemploym~nt, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating industry. (b) Said Industry normally employs not more than 50,000 employees; and i not classified by me as a major indu try. 

(c) Said Kalamein Chapter and the Code of Fair Competition 

for the Construction Industry, as supplemented by said Kalamein 

Chapter, as approved comply in all respects with the pertinent pro- visions of said Title of aid Act, including without limitation Subsection (a) of Se tion 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and Subsection 

(b) of Section 10 thereof; and that the applicant a sociation is an 

industrial as ociation truly representative of the aforesaid Industry ; 

and that said Association imposes no inequitable restrictions on ad- mi<:::sion to membership therein. 

( d) Said Kalamein Chapter and the Code of Fair Competition 

for the Construction Industry, as supplemented by said Kalamein 

Chapter are not designed to and will not permit monopolies or 

monopoli tic practices. 

(e) Said Kalamein Chapter and the Code of Fair Competition 

for the onstruction Indu try, as supplemental by said Kalamein 

hapter, are not designed to and will not eliminate or oppress small 

enterpri es 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 

I{alamein Chapter and of said Code, as supplemented by this 

Kalamein Chapter thereof. 

For these rea ons, therefore, I have approved said K alamein 

hapter of the Code of Fair Competition of the Construction 

Industry. 

Respectfully, 

HUGH 8. JOHNSON, 

A d1ninis trat<n'.
