REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PREsiDENT, 

The White H ou.se. 

Sm: On October 16, 1934, you approved an Executive Order creating the Cotton Textile Work Assignments Board and establishing 

rules and regulations for the handling of work assignments in the 

Industry until February 1, 1935. It was originally contemplated 

that by that date, the Work Assignments Board would have submitted a permanent plan for the regulation of work assignments 

which would have been incorporated in the Code as an amendment. 

Several factors prevented this. On December 27, 1934, you approved Executive Order 6930 giving the Work Assignments Board 

until " a reasonable time after January 1, 1935 " to submit its recommendations. 

The attached Amendment extends the so-called" freezing period", 

during which time work assignments are not to be increased, until 

thirty days after the T ork Assignments Board has submitted its 

recommendations for a permanent plan. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to the National 

Industrial Recovery Board on said amendment to said Code having 

found as herein set forth and on the basis of all the. proceedings in 

this matter : 

It finds that: 

(a) The amendment to said Code and the Code as amended are 

well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the 

National Industrial Recovery Act including the 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 indus try for the purpose 

of cooperative action among trade groups, by inducing and maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate governmental sanction 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 improving the standards of labor and by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the perti~ 

nent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation Sub ection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and 

Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

(2) 
3 

(c) The Code empower the Code Authority to pre ·ent the aforesaid amendment on behalf of the indu try a a whole. 

(d) The amendment an l the Code a amended are not designed to 

and will not permit monopolies or monopoli tic practices. 

(e) The amendment and the Code a amended are not designed 

to and will not eliminate or oppress mall enterpri es and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. 

(f) Those engaged in other steps 9£ the economic process have 

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

amendment. 

For these reasons this amendment has been approved. 

For the National Industrial Recovery Board:

AMENDMENT TO CODE OF FAIR CO:MPETITION FOR 

THE COTTON TEXTILE INDUSTRY 

Amend Section XVII, Subsection (2) by deleting the words 

"February 1, 1935" and substituting therefor the following: 

" one month after the report to the President as to a permanent 

plan for regulation of work assignments in the industry as provided in subsection ( 5) hereof," 

Amend Section XVII, Subsection ( 3) by deleting the words 

" February 1, 1935 " and substituting therefor the following: 

" one month after the report to the President as to a permanent 

plan for regulation of work assignments in the industry as provided in subsection ( 5) hereof," 

Subsections (2) and (3) as amended are as follows: 

(2) In order to provide opportunity to develop a sound method 

and adequate organization for the regulation of work assignments, 

no employer prior to one month after the report to the President as 

to a permanent plan for regulation of work assignments in the industry as provided in subsection ( 5) hereof, shall make any change 

in work assignment of any class of employees which shall increase 

the effort required over that prevailing on September 21, 1934. 

During this period the number of looms, frames or other machines 

required to be tended by any class of employees shall not be increased 

where the character of the raw material, yarn, construction of cloth, 

preparatory processes, type of equipment used, or character of finish 

or put-up, is not changed. Where such changes do occur the number 

of machines tended by such employees n1ay be increa ed or decreased 

in such manner as will not increase the amount of effort required of 

the worker. 

"\Vhere, during the period above referred to, a mill resumes the 

manufacture of any specific product which it has made within six 

months prior to September 21, 1934, and where the conditions of 

manufacture enumerated in the preceding paragraph are not 

changed, then the work load formerly used on uch product shall 

be the guide in determining the proper work assignment. 

Where, on September 21, 1934, a ·new style of ya~n or cloth or 

c.my other new type of product was in cour e of introduction or is 

thereafter during the period above referred to introduced into a mill 

or finishing plant, a tentative work load may be established during 

the period of determining a proper work load in accordance with 

the foregoing principle . 

(3) Prior to one month after the report to the President as to 

a permanent plan for regulation of work assignments in the industry 

as provided in subsection ( 5) hereof, on petition of any employee 

(4) 
5 

or employer affected, or hi representative, or on its own motion, 

the Cotton Textile Work Assignment Board may investigate any 

work assignment which has been increased since July 1, 1933, at 

any mill and the mill shall show the reasons for such increase. I£, 

after hearing, the Board finds such assignn1ent requires excessive 

effort it may require its reduction accordingly.
