The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn : This is a report on the Ce>de of Fair Competition for the 

Foundry Supply Industry, the hearing having been conducted 

thereon in Washington, D.C., on December 28, 1933, in accordance 

with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery Act. 

RESUME OF CODE AS TO WAGES AND HOURS 

This Code provides that 8 hours shall constitute the normal number 

of working hours per day, 40 hours the normal number of working 

hours per week, except that employees may work not exceeding 48 

hours a week for four weeks in any six months' period. These provisions are applicable to all employees except traveling salesmen, 

outside service men and watchmen, who may be permitted to work 

48 hours per week, and persons employed in managerial, executive, 

or supervisory capacity receiving not less than $35.00 per week. It 

provides further that no employee shall be permitted to work more 

than 6 days in any calendar week. 

The rates of pay provided for production labor are 40¢ per hour 

for both men and women. Time and one half will be paid production employees for hours worked in excess of the number of hours 

specified herein above. 

All other employees will be paid at not less than the following 

rates : 

Fifteen dollars ($15.00) per week in any city of over 500,000 

population or in an immediate trade area of such city; $14.50 per 

week in any city of between 250,000 and 500,000 population, or in the 

immediate trade area of such city; $14.00 per week in any city or 

town of less than 250,000 population. Nothing in this provision 

shall be interpreted to mean that part-time workers shall be compensated on a full-time basis . 

. E9nitable adjustments are to be made of all wage rates above said 

mnuma. 

Child Labor is prohibited and no person under 18 years of age 

shall be employed in a hazardous occupation. 

GENERAL STATEMENT 

The Foundry Supply Industry as defined in the Code includes the 

manufacture and sale of foundry facings and supplies; in particular 

the commodities commonly known in the Industry as foundry plumbago, sea co.al, parting, core wash, core paste, pitch core compound, 

as well as other forms and description of foundry facings and miscellaneous foundry supplies, and its sto mers are, therefore, confined 

to the various metal foundries of the country. 

(220) 
221 

The investment in the Industry is approximately $2,500,000 estimated value and the number of wage earners in normal times about 

400 people, with an estimated annual pay roll of $550,000. 

In 1929, which is considered a normal year, operations were at a 

rate of approximately 60% of capacity, with a value of production 

of about $3,028,000. Operations in 1930 were about 37% of capacity; 

in 1931 about 35% of capacity; in 1932 about 19<}'o of capacity; in 

1933 about 18% of capacity. 

I believe that the Code is fair to Industry, to Labor, and to the 

Public, and is in accordance with the intent and purpose of the 

National Industrial Recovery Act. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said Code 

having found .as herein set forth and on the basis of all the proceedings in this matter: 

I find that: 

(a) Said Code is well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act, including 

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 the trade gToups, 

by inducing and maintaining united action of labor and management 

under adequate governmental sanctions 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 temporarily 

required), by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing 

and relieving unemployment, by improving standard's of labor, and 

by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) Said industry normally employs not more than 50,000 

employees, and is not classified by me as a major industry. 

(c) The Code as approved complies in all respects with the pertinent vrovisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and 

Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof; and that the applicant group is 

an industrial group truly representative of the aforesaid Industry; 

and that said group imposes no inequitable restrictions on admission 

to membership therein. 

(d) The Code is not designed to and will not permit monopolies 

or monopolistic practices. 

(e) The Code is not designed to and will not eliminate or oppress 

small enterprises and will not operate to discriminate against them. 

(f) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have not 

been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

Code. 

For these reasons, therefore, I have approved this Code. 

Respectfully, . 

FEBRUARY 15, 1934.

Administrator.
