REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White H o'IJJ8e. 

Sm: This is a report on an amendment of the Code of Fair Competition for the Cotton Cloth Glove Manufacturing Industry. · 

Article IV, Section 1 (a) was amended by increasing the hourly 

wage rate for glove cutters from forty (40) cents per hour to fortyfive ( 45) cents per hour. 

A Public Hearing, of which due notice was given all interested 

parties, was held September 5, 1934, on minimum piece-work rates, 

submitted by the Code Authority for the Industry pursuant to paragraph II, Section 4 of Article IV, of the Code as approved by you 

December 30, 1934. These piece-work rates were for the purpose of 

making an equitable adjustment of wages for all productive labor. 

Among these piece-work rates was a provision for the hourly increase of wage rates for gloYe cutters which was submitted with a 

statement that "the operation of glove cutting was not uniform 

throughout all factories, some cutting piece work and some day work, 

and it is the opinion of the Committee " (of the Code Authority) 

"that it would be impracticable to establish piece-work rates for this 

operation which would be workable at all plants without placing 

undue hardship on some other manufr~cturers." 

TheN. R. A. Legal Division representative, attending the Hearing, 

pointed out that since the hourly increase would change a provision 

already written in the Code as approved, it would be necessary to consider it as an amendment to the Code and not as a part of the minimum piece-work rates. 

I n accordance with the suggestion of the Legal Division, this 

amendment was approved by a Show-Cause Order, allowing twenty 

days in which any interested parties might object prior to the effective date of the amendment. :However, this amendn1ent was discussed 

at the Public Hearing held on the minimum piece-work rates and no 

objections, either written or oral, were made. 

Since the date of the Public Hearing, and before the date of approval of the amendment, the. Industrial Advisory Board, Consumers 

Advisory Board, Labor Advisory Board, Research and P lanning Division and the Legal Division of the National Recovery Administra- tion made reports on the amendment and all such reports have been 

carefully considered by theN ational Industrial Recovery Board. 

FINDINGS 

Th~ Deputy Administrator in his final r~port to the National In- dustnal Recovery Board on said amendment to said Code having 

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

matter: 

vV e find that: 

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

well designed to promot~ the policies and purposes of Title I of the 

(2) 
3 

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 industry 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 temporr..rily required), by increasing 

the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, 

by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating 

industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions of s~id Title of said Act, including without limitation Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7 and 

Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

(c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to present the aforesaid amendments on behalf of the Industry as a whole. 

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

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

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

and will not operate to discriminate against them. 

(£) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process will not 

l1ave been deprived of the right to be heard prior to the effective 

date of said amendment. 

For the above reasons this amendment has been approved. 

For the National Industrial Reco-very Board:

Adrninistrative Officer.
