LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL 

The PRE IDENT 

The lVhite House. 

SrR: Thi is a report upon a modification of the ExecutiYe Order 

approving the Code of Fair Competition for the Hotel Industry. 

Tremendous difficulties have been encountered in organizing the 

Hotel Industry in order to effectiYely operate under the provisions 

of the Hotel Code. In many hotels the change in hour of employment wa effected only after great efforts on the part of the 

employer . The Code Authority ha been functioning properly for a comparatively hort period and will in the near future have some con tructiYe 

modification and additions ready for presentation to the Administrator. To require a public hearing on the wage provi ions of the 

Code at thi time would react di astrously upon the efforts of the 

Code Authority to maintain the support of the Indu try, and interfere with its work in the presentation of these proposed amendments 

which are de igned to eliminate many features of the Code that have 

cau ed the mo t seriou difficulties. 

The Industry i just beginning to operate smoothly under the provi ions of the Code and I do not believe the renl effects of the Code 

can be gauged at this time. 

Therefore, I believe that it would promote considerable confusion 

and achieve no :favorable results if :further hearings are held at this 

time. 

Re pectively, 

FEBRUARY 21, 1934.
