NOVEMBER 3, 1933. 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: The proposed Code of Fair Competition :for the Motor Fire 

Apparatus Manufacturers Industry was submitted to the Administrator on October 10th, 1933, by the Motor Fire Apparatus Manufacturers Association, representing approximately 70% of the munber of manufacturers engaged in the industry, and 90% or more 

o:f the dollar volume of the industry. The Hearing was conducted 

in Washington, on October 24, 1933, and the Code was revised during 

the recess o:f this hearing and was submitted in its present form for 

approval. All persons who requested an appearance were properly 

heard in compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements. 

Fire apparatus manufactured by this industry is individual and 

built to specifications; the market for the products IJlanu:factured 

by the industry is limited to municipalities, divisions o:f State or 

Federal Government, and large manufacturers, maintaining independent fire protection. -

The Industry has suffered a tremendous decrease (approximately 

70%) in its sales during the past :four years. The cal;)ital invested 

in the Industry has been seriously depleted. The equipment o:f its 

principal purchasers, namely 111,unici,palities, is comparatively modern. Throughout this period, however, the wages of its employees 

have been steadily maintained, and the extremely high average hourly rate o:f approximately 72 cents bespeaks the fairness of the 

members during the depression period. 

The nwnber of employees has only decreased in the same period 

approximately 50%. With the provision of a maximum week o-f 

35 hours and the possibility o:f credit extension through possible 

Governmental loans to it limited consumer market, it is estimated 

that a 25% increase in wages and an additional 10% increase in 

employment will result. 

ARTICLE I. Purpo es. 

ARTICLE II. Definitions. 

ARTICLE III. Provides a maximum week of 35 hours with a tolerance o:f 3% :for all employees except watchmen, outside salesmen, 

and delivery engineers and employees engaged in a manaO"erial or 

executive capacity earning in excess of $35.00 per week. E~1ployees 

engaged solely in maintenance and repair work, en o-ineers, furnace 

firemen, and janitors are limited to 40 hours per week~ 

.ARTICLE IV. Establi hes a minimum rate per hour of 40 cents 

and a minimum rate :for all employees of $14.00 and provides for 

full adjustments in all pay schedules. 

ARTIOLE V. Provide no person under 16 years o:f age may be employed. No one under 18 years o:f age may be employed in a hazardous occupation. Prohibition of reclassification. 

(IV) 
V 

ARTICLE VI. Provides for a code authority to consist of five individuals representing the industry and two additional nonvoting members may be appointed by the Administrator. 

ARTICLE VII. Provides the £air trade practices of the industry. 

ARTICLE VIII. Provides a merchandismg plan. 

ARTICLE IX. Modifications. 

ARTICLE X. Monopolies. 

-f\RTICLE XI. Provides £or filing with association of changes 1n 

price. 

ARTIOLE XII. General. 

ARTICLE XIII. Effective date. 

FINDINGS 

The Administrator finds : 

A. This Code complies in all respects with the pertinent phrases 

of title I of the act including without limitation subsection A of 

section 7 and subsection B of section 10 thereof. 

B. The Motor Fire Apparatus Manufacturers Association is truly 

representative of the Motor Fire Apparatus Manufacturers Industry and the bylaws of this association contain no inequitable restrictions on membership. 

C. The code 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 Recovery Act. 

It is recommended, therefore, that this code be approved. 

Respectfully, 

HUGH s. JOHNSON' 

Administrator.
