THE WHITE HousE, 

April19, 1931;.. 
LETTER OF TRANSl\1ITTAL 

The PRESIDENT, 

The lV hite House. 

Srn: This is a report of the Electrical Contracting Chapter of the 

Code of Fair Competition for the Construction 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 September 7th and 8th 1933, and January 22, J anuary 31, February 12, February 26, and March 12, 1934. Additional 

testimony may be found in the Transcript of H earing on the Construction Industry Code which was held in vV ashington on November 

20, 1933, in Volume 3, pages 75 to 82 inclusive, and pages 173 to 219 

inclusive. These hearings were held in accordance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery Act, and this Chapter 

was thereafter revised and re-submitted. 

THE INDUSTRY 

The Electrical Contracting Division is an important branch of the 

Construction Industry, both in original construction and also in retailing, servicing, and maintaining existing installations. Their 

work is described more fully by the definitions contained in Article I 

of this Chapter. 

PROVISIONS FOR HO TIS AXD WAGES 

The hours set forth in Chapter I of the Code of Fair Competi .. 

tion for the Construction Industry, approved by you on January 31, 

1934, are applicable to this Chapter. In addition to the minimum 

wage set forth in Chapter I of the Construction Code, a minimum. 

wage rate of seventy-five (75¢) per hour has been et forth for skilled 

labor in the Electrical Contracting Division. 

The International Brotherhood of Electrical "\Vorkers has a total 

membership, according to statements made by that organization, of" 

150,000 electricians. Of these, 94,000 are pa1d-up members. From 

this number must be subtracted 31,000 normally engaged in repair, 

service and maintenance, a classification not included in the definitions of this Chapter. 

The remaining electricians, who will operate under the provisions 

of this Code, number 63,000. 

Since the employers, as included in the definitions of this Chapter, 

employed approximately 25,000 electricians, it may be seen that practically all of these employees are represented by the International 

Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and should be considered as such 

in the determination of the skilled rate agreement. 

(8) 
4 

ECONOMIC EFFECT OF THE CODE 

This Industry gave direct employment in 1930 to 73,980 workers. 

Its volume of business in that year was $457,000,000. It is reasonable to suppose that with the prohibition of unfair trade practices 

and the establishment of uniform rates of pay and hours of work, 

better conditions will prevail in this Industry and that employers, 

employees and the public will be benefitted. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said Electrical Contracting Chapter of the Code of Fair Competition for the 

Construction Industry, as supplemented by the addition thereto of 

said Electrical Contracting Chapter, having found as herein set forth 

and on the basis of all the proceedings in this matter : 

I find that: 

(a) Said Electrical Contracting Chapter and said Code of Fair 

Competition for the Construction Industry as supplemented by the 

addition thereto of said Electrical Contracting Chapter, are 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 man;1gement 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 consumption of industrial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, 

by improv-ing standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating 

industry. 

(b) Said Electrical Contracting Chapter and the Code of Fair 

Competition for the Construction Industry, as supplemented by the 

addition thereto of said Electrical Contracting Chapter, as approved, 

comply in all respects 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 association is an industrial association 

truly representative of the aforesaid Industry; and that said asso· 

ciation imvoses no inequitable restrictions on admission to member~ 

ship therein. 

(c) Said Electrical Contracting Chapter and the Code of Fair 

Competition for the Construction Industry, as supplemented by the 

addition thereto of said Electrical Contracting Chapter, are not 

designed to and will not _permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(d) Said Electrical Contracting Chapter and the Code of Fair 

Competition for the Construction Industry, as supplemented by the 

addition thereto of said Electrical Contracting Chapter, are not 

designed to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and 

will not operate to discriminate against them. 
5 

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

not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval by said 

Electrical Contracting Chapter and of said Code, as supplemented 

by the addition thereto of this Electrical Contracting Chapter 

thereof. 

For these reasons, therefore, I recommend approval of said Electrical Contracting Chapter and said Code, as supplemented by the 

addition thereto of said Electrical Contracting Chapter thereof. 

Respectfully, 

APRIL 19, 1934. 

HuGH S. JoHNsoN, 

Administrator.
