(III) 

18617°-188-104-33 
OCTOBER 5, 1933. 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: This is a report of the hearing on the Code of Fair Competition for the Motor Bus Industry of the United States, conducted in 

Washington on the 30th of August 1933, in accordance with the 

provisions of the National Industrial Recovery Act. 

PROVISIONS OF THIS CODE AS .TO w AGES AND HOURS 

Maximum hours for employees are established as follows: Clerical employees-40 hours per week averaged over a period of 4 weeks. 

Garage, service, and maintenance employees-48 hours per week 

averaged over a period of 6 weeks with a maximum of 54 hours in 

any one week. Bus operators and ticket agents-48 hours per week 

averaged over a period of 6 weeks with a maximum of 54 hours in 

any one week provided that during any 3-month period a maximum 

of 54 hours is established. Watchmen and janitors, 56 hours in any 

one week. No employee working over 35 hours per week may be 

employed for more than 24 days in any 28-day period. 

Minimum wage rates are established ranging from $15.00 per 

week in any city of over 500,000 population to $12.00 per week in 

towns of less than 2,500 population. Provision is made that rates of 

pay for employees whose hours of employment have been reduced 

by the provisions of this Code shall be increased by an equitable 

readjustment and that rates of pay for employees whose hours have 

not been so reduced shall not be decreased below those in effect for 

the week ending June 17, 1933. 

Employment of any person under 16 years of age and of any 

person as a bus driver under 21 years of age is prohibited. 

In recommending the approval of the hour provisions of this 

Code it has been necessary to recognize that passenger motor carrier transportation is a continuous public service requiring twentyfour hours per day operation seven days per week with flow of traffic 

reaching periodical peaks each day, week, and season in the year. 

Its schedules are continuously subject to interference by reason of 

road, weather, traffic, and other emergency conditions. Moreover, 

it is competitive with steam rail passenger transportation not operating under the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery Act. 

T o adopt a schedule of less hours at this time would undoubtedly 

result in a o-reat hardship to the Industry. As a step toward the 

realization of a shorter hour week, the Industry is required under the 

Code to study ways and means of still further improving working 

conditions and to present the results of its study to the Administrator by May 1, 1934. 

(IV) 
V 

Eco:NoMrc EFFECT OF CooE 

Under the recommended Code, the Motor Bus Industry will reemploy 12,586 additional wage earners or about 18 _percent according 

to an estimate made by the Division of Economic Research and 

Planning. This will increase the annual pay roll of the Industry by 

$15,152,000 or about 18 percent. 

The :Motor Bus Industry has suffered not only from the depression 

but also from its disadvantageous competitive position with other 

passenger carriers. The taxes of its principal competitor, the railroad, have increased but 25 percent since 1919 as contrasted with a 

500 percent increase in the case of the Motor Bus Industry. The 

annual tax per bus was $859 in 1932, an increase of $523 per bus 

since 1925. 

In view of these considerations it is believed that if this Industry 

is to share impartially in business recovery, the provisions of this 

Code are all that can be reasonably expected at this time. 

FINDINGS 

The Administrator finds that: 

(a) The Code as recommended complies in all respects with the 

pertinent provisions of Title 1 of the Act, including, without limitation, subsection (a) of Section 7, and subsection (b) of Section 10 

thereof ; and that 

(b) The applicant group imposes no inequitable restrictions on 

admission to membership therein, and is truly representative of the 

Motor Bus Industry; and that 

( c) The Code as recommended is not designed to promote monopolies or to eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not operate 

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

of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act. 

From evidence adduced during this hearing and from recommendations and reports of the various Advisory Boards, it is believed 

that this Code as now proposed and revised is satisfactory to this 

Industry, labor, the public, and this Administration. It is recommended, therefore, that this Code, as herewith submitted, be 

approved. 

Respectfully, 

HUGH s. JOHNSON, 

Adniinistrator.

twenty (20) days after the approval of this Code publish tariffs of 

rates, fares, and charges for the transportation of persons and for 

services between all points on its lines by filing five (5) copies thereof

(b) Any passenger motor carrier may at any time file with the 

Motor Bus Code Authority five (5) copies of any changes, amendments, or supplements to its tariffs which shall, unless otherwise provided by the Motor Bus Code Authority with the approval of the

supplements may provide, and have the same force and effect as-the 

original schedules filed. 

3. Bonds or Insurance.-Passenger motor carriers shall comply, 

as to interstate commerce, with the lawful regulations of the States

injury to persons or loss of or damage to property resulting from 

the operation, maintenance, or use of motor vehicles employed by 

such carriers. The Administrator, on the recommendation of the 

Code Authority and after such hearing as he may deem proper, may 

make such modifications and impose such other conditions and requirements in respect to providing bonds, insurance, or liability protection by any passenger motor carriers as he shall deem proper to 

carry out the intention of these provisions.
