AMENDMENT TO THE CODE OF FAIR COMPETITION 

FOR THE SILl{ TEXTILE INDUSTRY 

The Code of Fair Competition for the Silk Textile Industry shall 

be amended by adding at the end thereof, as Article XIII, the 

following provisions : 

"XIII (1) The Textile Labor Relations Board shall appoint a 

Silk Textile 1Vork Assignment Board, to be composed of an impartial chairman, one representative of the employers subject to the 

Code of Fair Competition for the Silk Textile Industry, and one 

representative of the employees in that Industry. "(2) In order to provide opportunity to develop a sound method 

and adequate organization for the regulation of work assignments, 

no employer prior to February 1, 1935, 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 may be 

increased or decreased in such manner as will not increase the amount 

of effort required of the worker. 

" Where, 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 such product shall be the guide 

in determining the proper work assignment. 

"Where, on September 21, 1934, a new style of yarn or cloth or 

any other new type of product was in course 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 principles. 

" ( 3) Prior to February 1, 1935, on petition of the Code Authority 

or of any employee or e1nployer affected, or his representative, or on 

its own motion, the Silk Textile Work Assignment Board may investigate any work assignment which has been increased since July 

1, 1933, at any mill and the m.ill shall show the reasons for such 

increase. If the Board finds after fair hearing such assignment 

r equires excessive effort it may require its reduction accordingly. 

"(4) The Silk Textile Work Assignment Board shall have authority to issue rules and regulations and to appoint such agents as it 

may select, who shall have authority to make investigations and 

recommendations in order to carry out the provisions of this Section. 

" ( 5) The Silk Textile Work Assignment Board shall, subject to 

instructions of the President, make a study of actual operations in 

representative plants and report to the President as to a permanent 

plan for regulation of work assignments in the Industry."
