The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srr. : This is a report of the Amendments to the Code of Fair 

Competition for the Glass Container Industry to permit certain 

changes in the pro vi ion"' as to hours. These Amendments are submitted for Executive approval in accordance with Section 3, Article 

VIII of said Code as approved on October 3 1933. 

PROVISIONS AS TO HOUR 

The labor provisions in the Code have been amended by limiting 

watchmen to maximum working hours not in exce s of ninety- ix 

(96) hour in any two (2) week period, and not more than six (6) 

days in any seven (7) day period. 

H eretofore, watchmen have not been limited as to daily or weekly 

hour under this Code, but were paid at the rate of time and one half 

for all hours in excess of forty ( 40) hours per week. Since watchmen are u ually crippled, or superannuated employees, objection to 

paying time and one half re ulted in no overtime above forty ( 40) 

hours per week, with consequent reduced wa.ges, and in some cases to 

actual dispensing with watchmen. The provi ion in the amended 

Code will correct this condition.

amendments to aid Code having found as herein set forth and on 

the ba s of all the proceedings in this matter:

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 trade group , by inducing and nlaint aining united action of labor and management under adequate governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promotino· 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 purcha ing pmYer, by reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving st andards of labor, and by otherwise 

rehabilitating indu try. 

(2)

(b) The Code a amended com. plies in all re pects with the pertinent provi ions of aid Title of aid Act, including without limitation Sub ection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7 and 

Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

(c) The Glas · Container As ociation was and is an industrial 

a sociation truly repre entative of the afore aid Indu. try and that 

said as ociation imposed and impo es no inequitable re trictions on 

admission to rnembership therein an l h as applie l for or consents to 

these amendments. 

(d) The amendment and the Code as amended are not de igned 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices.
