EXECUTIVE ORDER

CODE OF FAIR COMPETITION FOR THE PAPER AND PULP INDUSTRY

An application having been duly made, pursuant to and in full

compliance with the provisions of Title I of the National Industrial

Recovery Act, approved June 16, 1933, for my approval of a Code of

Fair Competition of the Paper and Pulp Industry, and hearings

having been held thereon and the Administrator having rendered his

report containing an analysis of the said code of fair competition

together with his recommendations and findings with respect thereto, and the Administrator having found that the said code of fair competition complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions of

title I of said act and that the requirements of clauses (1) and (2)

of subsection (a) of section 3 of the said act have been met:

Now, therefore, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United

States, pursuant to the authority vested in me by title I of the

National Industrial Recovery Act approved June 16, 1933, and otherwise, do adopt and approve the report, recommendations and findings

of the Administrator and do order that the said code of fair competition be and it is hereby approved; however, feeling that the

minimum wage for this industry should be not less than forty (40)

cents per hour, my order of approval is subject to the following

condition:

That within 90 days from the effective date of this code the Administrator hold such further hearing upon such notice as he, in his

discretion, shall fix for the purpose of determining the adequacy of

the minimum wages established in said code, after which his report

and recommendation shall be submitted to me for further order

which order shall have the effect of a condition to my approval of

this Code.

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.

THE WHrrE HousE,

November 17, 1933.

Approval recommended:

HUGH S. JOHNSON,

Administrator.

21T53'---244-33--3.3
OCTOBER 19, 1933.

The PREsIDENT,

The White House.

SnI: This is a report of the hearing on the General Code of Fair

Competition for the Paper and Pulp Industry in the United States, and Subordinate Codes covering divisions of such Industry, conducted in Washington on September 14, 1933, in accordance with the

provisions of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act.

WORKING HOURS

This Code provides for a standard 40-hour week for all but a small

portion of the employees in the Industry. In order to provide the

flexibility necessary to meet unusual conditions, such as variation

in water supply and peak demands, provision is made for a 40-hour

week averaged over a 13-week period, with a limitation on day

workers of 48 hours in a single week with time and one-third for

hours worked in excess of 8 in a single day.

No overtime provision is made for tour workers on continuousprocess operations who desire to be free to exchange shifts. Provision is also made for additional hours for them to meet situations

where the work requires the help of men from an off-duty shift to

change wires and wash and clean the machines after a run. Such

work is too small in amount and too irregular to justify employment

of an additional shift.

Employees not engaged directly in production, of whom there are

only a few in each plant, are on a 42-hour basis averaged over a

4-week period. Watchmen may work 56 hours per week, and office

employees 40 hours per week averaged over a year, but not more

than an average of 48 hours per week in any quarter. In emergency

cases restrictions are removed for employees engaged in repair and

maintenance work. Regular reports of hours worked are required.

WAGES

For wage purposes the Country is divided into three zones:

Northern, Central, and Southern. The principal paper-producing

States in the Southern zone are Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas; and in the Central zone, Virginia and

West Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina. All the remaining

important paper-producing States are in the Northern zone. The

wage differentials between the zones, prescribed by the Code, are

much less than those now prevailing and are necessary to avoid too

great a change in established competitive conditions.

The basic minimum wage rates prescribed for the three zones are

as follows:

Northern, 38# per hour

Central, 35# per hour

Southern, 300 per hour
V

Provision is also made for a 50 lower wage for women in the

Northern and Central zones, but it is expressly provided that men

and women doing the same work shall receive the same pay, and

that the Code Authority shall file with the Administrator a description of all occupations in which women are employed. An exception

is made of work which on July 15, 1929, paid less than the prescribed rates. In such cases the 1929 rate, or ninety percent of the

base rate, whichever is higher, is prescribed. A report to the Administrator on the effect of this exception is required.

The minimum wages of office workers range from $12.00 to $15.00

per week, as in the President's Reemnployment Agreement.

Conditions vary greatly in different parts of the same zone and

between different divisions of the Industry as to the ability of the

mills to increase wages. The wages prescribed are a fair compromise. They are in all cases a substantial increase over rates prevailing in June of this year. They are also an increase over the

average wage rates prevailing on October 1st, but are slightly less

than the rates now being paid by some of the better-situated mills.

No exceptions are made for learners or for office boys or girls.

State certificates of disability are required in the case of partly

disabled employees paid lower rates.

ECONOMIC EFFECT OF THE CODE

The normal number of employees in the Industry is from 123,000

to 125,000. The number in 1929 was 128,000. Owing to technological

improvements, the number which would be required today to produce the 1929 output would be about 120,000. The effect of the

Code, however, will be to restore employment to 128,000, the 1929

figure, although the present rate of production is far below the

1929 rate.

The total pay roll of the Industry in May 1933 was at a rate of

approximately 100 million dollars per year. The American Paper

and Pulp Association estimates that the effect of the Code will be

to increase the rate to approximately 170 million dollars per year.

The estimate is based on the production of June and July 1933,

and on such data as is available concerning action already taken

by many large employers to increase wage rates and reduce working

hours under the President's Reemployment Agreement.

The Industry represents an investment of over one and a half

billion dollars. The ratio of fixed investment to the value of annual

production is abnormally high. The value of the 1929 production

was about equal to the Investment in manufacturing facilities (exclusive of material resources). The value of the 1932 production

was less than one half of the investment. Due to these conditions,

the overhead burden, always high, has increased to an abnormal

figure. Prices have been depressed to a point which has not returned

cost. A group of companies representing 35% of the production

capacity of the Industry shows a loss of 19% of their total working

capital in the year 1932. The increase costs which the Industry will

have assumed through the adoption of this Code are as great as it

can reasonably be expected to bear.
VI

OTHER CODE PROVISIONS

The Code contains provisions requiring the Code Authority to

make a survey of the -Industry for the purpose of obtaining data

as to the feasibility of adopting a shorter man-hour week and to

submit a report of its findings to the Administrator, together with

a plan for the stabilization of employment.

The General Code, together with the Subordinate Codes, provides

not only a divisional set-up for the Industry, but also complete

machinery for the administration of the General Code and the Divisional Codes in each Division. A General Code Authority, to consist of the members of the Executive Committee of the American

Paper and Pulp Association, is the agency for the administration of

the General Code, and in each Division there is created a subordinate

Code Authority to be selected by the members of such Division for

the. administration of the Divisional Code.

Provision is made for establishing a uniform accounting and

costing system for the entire Industry and for the open publication

of prices and adherence thereto.

This Code covers the manufacture of all paper except newsprint.

There is a continual controversy regarding the precise meaning of

the words " standard newsprint " as used in the Tariff Act, and

there has been some apprehension on the part of members of the

Industry and others that the definitions in this Code and the Newsprint Code might have some bearing on this controversy. It is

pointed out that the sole purpose of these definitions is to establish

a definite boundary line between the jurisdictional areas of the two

Codes and, that they have no bearing whatsoever on the question

of dutiability of imported paper.

I am satisfied that this Code is a long step toward the goal set up

by the National Industrial Recovery Act.

FINDINGS

The Administrator finds that:

(a) The Code as recommended complies in all respects with the

pertinent provisions of Title I of the Act including, without limitation, subsection (a) of Section 7 and subsection (b) of Section 10

thereof; and that

(b) The applicant group imposes no inequitable restrictions on

admission to membership therein and is truly representative of the

Paper and Pulp Industry; and that

(c) The Code as recommended 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 Industrial Recovery Act.

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

Respectfully submitted.

HUGH S. JOHNSON,

Administrator.
GENERAL CODE OF FAIR COMPETITION FOR THE PAPER

AND PULP INDUSTRY

To effectuate the policies of Title I of the National Industrial

Recovery Act the following is hereby established as a Code of Fair

Competition for the Paper and Pulp Industry, and shall be binding

on every member thereof.

ARTICLE I-DEFINITIoNS

1. Where used in this Code and in all codes subordinate hereto, the

following definitions shall apply:

" Industry "-The manufacture in the United States from pulpwood, wood pulp, or other stock or pulp, of all paper (except such

paper now in regular use in the making of daily newspapers as is

specifically mentioned and described in Schedule "A" hereof), such

paperboard as is listed in Schedule " B " attached, and pulp; provided, however, that if and when the provisions of this Code shall

be extended to cover any products of converters of paper and paperboard, then the word " Industry " shall include the manufacture of

same.

" Member "-A natural person, partnership, association, corporation, trust, trustee, trustee in bankruptcy, or receiver engaged in such

industry.

"Division "-A division or section of the industry recognized as

such by this Code.

"Act"-Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act.

"Administration "-The National Industrial Recovery Administration.

"Administrator "-The National Industrial Recovery Administrator.

ARTICLE II-ORGANIZATION

1. The Executive Committee of the American Paper and Pulp

Association is hereby designated as the Agency for administering

the provisions of this Code and is hereby named and is hereinafter

referred to as " The Paper Industry Authority." The Administrator

may desigate three persons as additional advisory members thereof 

the member or members so designated shall have no vote, but in alI

other respects shall be members of the said Paper Industry Authority.

2. The Industry is hereby divided into divisions as set forth in

Schedule C hereto attached. Any question as to the division into

which any particular grade, class, or kind of paper, paperboard, or

pulp or any product of conversion of any of them may fall shall be

determined by the Paper Industry Authority.

(1)
2

In the event that the jurisdiction of the Code shall be extended to

cover the manufacture of products which do not fall within any such

division, the Paper Industry Authority may create new divisions to

include such products, and the members of such divisions may then

adopt and submit divisional codes as provided in Article III hereof.

The Paper Industry Authority may create new divisions by the subdivision of any of such divisions or by the consolidation of any two

or more of such divisions, provided, however, that no such subdivision or consolidation shall be made without the consent of the

divisional association of each division affected thereby.

3. In each division there may be one divisional association to

which every member of the industry engaged in the manufacture of

any product included in such division shall be eligible for membership. Each such divisional association shall be eligible for membership in the American Paper and Pulp Association.

4. The expenses of administering this Code shall be apportioned

among the various divisions in accordance with a formula to be

adopted by the Paper Industry Authority. The expenses of administering the subordinate Code of each Division, together with the

proportion of the expense of administering this Code, allocated to

such Division, shall be borne pro rata in accordance with a formula

to be adopted by the Executive Authority of such Division by all

members of such Division who accept the benefits of the Paper

Industry Authority and/or the Executive Authority of such division

or otherwise assent to this Code. Divisional Associations shall be

responsible for the payment of all Code-administration expense.

ARTICLE III-DIvISIONAL CODES

1. Each such divisional association may adopt a divisional code

and may either submit the same as a supplement to this Code for the

approval of the President of the United States or may submit the

same subsequently through the Paper Industry Authority to the

President for his approval. Such divisional codes when so approved, shall have the same force and effect as to the divisions of

the industry affected thereby as this Code.

2. Such divisional codes shall be subordinate to this Code and shall

specifically recognize this Code as applicable to all members of the

industry engaged in manufacturing products falling within the

division for which such divisional code is submitted.

3. Pending action by the Paper Industry Authority each division

shall include such grades, classes, and kinds of paper, paperboard, or

pulp as are generally recognized by custom as falling within the

classification indicated by the name of such division.

4. Each such divisional code shall designate an agency for the

purpose of administering such divisional code, which shall be denominated " The Executive Authority " of such division.

5. Such divisional codes may contain such provisions relating to

said division as may be appropriate for inclusion in a Code of flair

Competition under the Act, provided that no such code shall contain

any provision contrary to or inconsistent with the provisions of

this Code.

ARTICLE VI-GENERAL LABOR PROvISIONs

1. No person under sixteen (16) years of age shall be employed

in the industry nor anyone under eighteen (18) years of age at

operations or occupations hazardous in nature or detrimental to

health. The Paper Industry Authority shall submit to the Administrator within sixty (60) days after the effective date of this

Code a list of such occupations. In any State an employer shall be

deemed to have complied with this provision if he shall have on

file a certificate or permit duly issued by the authority in such State

empowered to issue employment or age certificates or permits showing that the employee is of the required age.

2. Employees shall have the right to organize and bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and shall

be free from the interference, restraint, or coercion of employers of

labor, or their agents, in the designation of such representatives or

5. All employers shall post full copies of this Code in conspicuous

places accessible to employees.
6

6. Standards for safety and health shall be submitted by the Paper

Industry Authority to the Administrator within six (6) months afTr

the effective date of this Code.

ARTIoLE VII-ACOUNTING--SELLNG

1. The Paper Industry Authority shall, as soon as practicable,

propose a standard method of accounting and costing for the industry and submit the same to the Administrator. 'When it shall have

been approved by the Administrator every member shall use an

accounting and costing system which conforms to the principles of,

and is at least as detailed and complete as, such standard method.

2. Each member shall, on or before thirty (30) days after the

effective date of this Code, file with the Executive Authority of his

division, or divisions, complete schedules in such form as such

Executive Authority shall prescribe of prices and terms and conditions of sale for domestic consumption (including all differentials,

discounts, trade allowances, and special charges) of all products

falling within the scope of the division offered for sale by such

member, and shall so file all subsequent changes therein or revisions

thereof at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the effective date of

any such changes or revisions. When any member shall file any such

schelule of prices, or any revision thereof, any other member may

also file a revision of its own schedules, and if such other member

shall so desire and state therein the same shall be effective as of the

same date as the schedule or revision thereof first in this sentence

referred to. Each such schedule of prices shall conform to all trade

practices and other provisions established in and by this Code or

any pertinent subordinate code or any amendment or supplement to

this Code or to such subordinate code. The Executive Authority

shall send to the Paper Industry Authority and to each member of

the division and to any others concerned requesting a copy thereof, a

copy of such schedules and of all changes and revisions thereof so

filed.

The Executive Authority of any division may, from time to time,

with the approval of the Paper Industry Authority, change in

respect to all or any of the products of such division the period of

time which shall elapse between the date of filing and the effective

date of any such schedule; provided, however, that such period shall

not be less than twenty-four (24) hours or more than five (5) days;

and provided further, that pending the holding of a meeting of the

Paper Industry Authority the chairman thereof may grant an

interim approval of such action. The Executive Authority shall

give immediate notice of such change to the members of the division.

The subordinate code of any division may contain a provision limiting the time within which future deliveries may be contracted for

at tTie prices scheduled at the time of the contract; and the Executive Authority of each division may require the filing in such manner as it shall prescribe of such data as it may require in respect of

contracts for future deliveries existing at the effective date of this

Code.

3. No such schedule of prices and terms and conditions of sale

filed by any member, or in effect at any time in any quarter of any
7

calendar year, shall be such as to permit the sale of any product at

less than the lower of the following:

(a) The cost of such product to such member during the last

period of three consecutive months or three accounting periods of

four weeks each ending not less than thirty (30) days prior to the

first date of such quarter, which cost shall be determined pursuant

to the method of accounting and costing prescribed by the Paper

Industry Authority under this Article as soon as that method is

prescribed and theretofore pursuant to the method employed by such

member subject to such preliminary rules as the Paper Industry

Authority shall from time to time prescribe.

(b) The lowest price scheduled for such product under the provisions of this Article by any other member and then in effect.

Each schedule filed under this Article shall state whether the

prices, terms, and conditions therein specified are justified under subivision (a) or under subdivision (b) of this Section, and in the

case of justification under subdivision (b) shall identify the schedule

or schedules of the other member or members of the industry

justifying such prices, terms, and conditions. A schedule justified

upon the basis of the schedule or schedules of another member or

members shall become void forthwith upon the cancellations or

revisions upward of such justifying schedule or schedules.

In applying the provisions of this Section and of Sections 4 and 5

of this Article, all prices shall be calculated on a delivered basis, and

the cost of delivery shall be considered a part of the cost of the

product; provided, however, that in the case of each product the

Executive Authority of the division in which such product falls

may amplify, define, or modify this principle.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, discontinued lines

or damaged goods or seconds of any product may be disposed of in

such manner and on such terms and conditions as the Executive

Authority of the division into which such products fall may approve.

4. The Paper Industry Authority shall have power on its own

initiative or on the complaint of any member to investigate any

price for any product shown in any schedule filed hereunder by

any member, and for the purpose of the investigation thereof to

require such member to furnish such information concerning the

cost of manufacturing such product as the Paper Industry Authority shall deem necessary or proper for such purpose. Pending

such investigation the Administrator may suspend any such price.

If the Paper Industry Authority after such investigation shall determine that such price violates the provisions hereof, or would tend

to render ineffective or seriously to endanger the maintenance of this

or any subordinate divisional code, the Paper Industry Authority

shall so notify such member and the Executive Authority with which

such price was filed, and thereupon such price shall become void and

of no effect. A notice of all decisions of the Paper Industry Authority under this Section, together with the reasons therefor, shall

be filed with the Administrator. All such decisions shall be subject

to suspension, cancellation, or modification by the Administrator.

5. Except in fulfillment of bona fide contracts existing on the

effective date of this Code, no member of the industry shall sell

any products of the industry for domestic consumption at a price
8

or prices lower than or upon terms or conditions more favorable

than stated in his price schedule filed as hereinbefore provided.

6. The Executive Authority of any division may, with the approval of the Paper Industry Authority, suspend for any period of

time and from time to time all or any of the provisions of Sections

2, 3, 4, and 5 of this Article in respect of any or all of the products

of such divisions; provided, however, that pending the holding

of a meeting of the Paper Industry Authority the Chairman thereof

may grant an interim approval of such action.

ARTICLE VIII-REPORTS-STATISTICS

1. Each member shall prepare and file with the Executive Secretary of the Paper Industry Authority, at such times and in such

manner as it may prescribe, statistics of plant capacity, volume of

production, volume of sales in units and dollars, orders received, unfilled orders, stocks on hand, inventory both raw and finished,

number of employees, wage rates, employee earnings, hours of work,

and such other data or information as the Paper Industry Authority

or the Administrator may from time to time require. Any or all

information so furnished by any member shall, upon the approval of

the Administrator, be subject to checking for the purpose of verification by an examination of the books and accounts and records of

such member by any disinterested accountant or accountants or other

qualified person or persons designated by the Paper Industry

Authority.

2. Except as otherwise provided in the Act, or in this Code, all

statistics, data, and information filed or required in accordance with

the provisions of this Code hereof shall be confidential; and the statistics, data, and information of one member shall not be revealed to

another member. No such data or information shall be published

except in combination with other similar data and in such manner

as to avoid the disclosure of confidential information. The Paper
