FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT. 

(ID) 
OCTOBER 23, 1933. 

The PRESIDENT, 

The W Mte House. 

Sm: This is a report of the hearing on the Code of Fair Competition for the Rock Crusher Manufacturing Industry in the United 

States, conducted in Washington on September 12, 1933, in accordance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery Act. 

PROVISIONS ON HOURS AND WAGES 

The maximum hours provided by the Code for :factory employees 

will be 40 per week and 8 per day. When production demands it, 

this working time may be increased to 44 hours per wee~ in not 

more than 8 weeks in any 6 months' period, the average hours to 

be not more than 40 per week. Time and one half will be paid to 

employees working in excess of 8 hours per day or 40 hours per 

week. 

Those employed as preparation, care, and maintenance workers, or 

as stock or shipping clerks, will be given a tolerance of 10 percent 

over the maximum hours prescribed, the average to be not more 

than 40 hours per week in any 6 months' period. The above limitations in hours do not apply to supervisory employees receiving more 

than $35.00 per week, service-parts foremen, field service men, nor 

to emergency maintenance or repair workers, the last class being 

paid time and one half for all hours worked in excess of 8 per day 

or 40 per week. 

The minimum wage for factory workers will be 40 cents per hour. 

No distinction in wage rates will be made between male and :female 

employees. Adjustments of wage rates above the minimum provided 

will be made and will be reported to the Administrator. 

A maximum of 40 hours per week is provided for employees engaged in accounting, clerical, service, sales, and delivery work. 

Their minimum wage will be in accordance with the President's 

Reemployment Agreement. Salaries now higher than the above 

minimums will not be reduced because of change in hours provided 

in the Code. Office boys and messengers will receive not less than 

80% of the minimum wage, and the number of office boys, messengers, 

and apprentices will be not more than 5 percent of the total number 

of employees of any employer. 

CHILD LABOR 

The minimum age provided is 16 years, but in hazardous occupations this age limit is raised to 18 years. 

ECONOMIC EFFECT OF THE CODE 

This Industry manufactures portable crushing, screening, washing, 

and conveying machines for handling rock and gravel. There are 

(IV) 
V 

seventeen companies in the Industry, with approximately 1,000 

employees. While sales in 1932 were about 80% of the 1929 figures, 

there were nearly as many employees engaged in the Industry in 

1932 as in 1929, because of the ." share the work" policy. Only by a 

r~vival of the building industry can any appreciable number of employees be added to those already engaged in the Industry. 

It is estimated by the Industry that the hours and wages provided 

in the Code will increase employment approximately 20 percent, and 

that the average income per employee will be increased approximately 20 percent over the income prior to June 16, 1933. 

In working out and accepting its Code this Industry has shown its 

cooperation in complying with the spirit of the 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 limi- -

tation, 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 

Rock Crusher Manufacturers 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, 

HUGH s. JOHNSON' 

Administrato-r.

and uniform treatment of his distributors, jobbers, dealers, and other 

sales representatives. The discount from the published list prices 

to said distributors, jobbers, dealers, and other sales representatives 

may vary according to the particular type of equipment, but in no 

case shall it exceed 20 percent. 

(b) Each member of the Industry shall publish and file with the 

Code Authority a net f .o.b. manufacturer's works price list to 

apply to consumers. Each member shall sell to the consumer only 

in accordance with such established price lists and no member shall 

sell to or through any distributor, jobber, dealer, or other sales 

representative unless such distributor, jobber, dealer, or other sales 

representative shall have agreed to sell only in accordance with such 

published lists. Each member shall file with the Code Authority 

any change in such published price lists or revision thereof ten (10) 

days before such new or changed prices shall become effective. 

( c) A very substantial portion of sales to ultimate consumers are 

made directly by members of the Industry and the balances are made 

through dealers. In consequence, restriction of members of the 

Industry to fair-trade practices, to be effective, must be supplemented 

by prohibiting indirect evasions of such restrictions on the part of 

members of the Industry by operations through dealers. Accordingly, it is hereby provided that no member of the Industry shall sell 

any product of the Industry through any dealer until such dealer 

agrees to comply with the fair-trade practices set forth in this 

Article V in the resale of such product. 

( d) The f.o.b. price to any destination shall be not less than the 

price f.o.b. manufacturer's works plus actual freight from the manufacturer's works to destination. 
5 

(e) The Code Authority shall set up a uniform method of cost 

finding, subject to the approval of the Administrator, to be used 

by all members of the Industry in arriving at unit costs. 

(f) For the purpose of reducing selling expense the shipment of 

equipment for the purpose of demonstrating or otherwise influencing 

the award of an order, in advance of the actual placing o-f such order, 

is forbidden. This provision shall not be construed to · prohibit 

demonstration at the manufacturer's plant or branch warehouse. 

(g) No products of the Industry shall be rented by any member 

of the Industry. 

(h) All machines or attachments shall be sold only under firm 

sales orders or contracts, signed by the purchaser and stating a 

definite delivery date, prices, and terms. Orders must provide for 

delivery not later than sixty (60) days from the date o-f the order. 

(i) To avoid discrimination between purchasers and for the protection of the Industry, the following uniform terms of selling will 

be maintained : 

A minimum of 25 percent of the total sales price will be required 

as a cash payment from all contractors and individuals, which cash 

payment, however, may be divided up so that only a portion of the 

amount accompanies the order, the balance to be collected by sight 

draft against bill of lading. The remainder of the total purchase 

price shall in no case be spread over a longer period than one year 

from date of order, and shall be evidenced by monthly notes bearing 

interest at a rate of not less than 6 percent. 

In the case of municipalities and political subdivisions a 25 percent 

cash payment is to be made not later than the date of the first regular 

meeting of the purchasing body subsequent to the date of the order; 

the remainder of the purchase price may be spread over a period not 

longer than eighteen (18) months from date of order and shall be 

evidenced by interest-bearing legal paper of the customer. (j) No member of the Industry shall trade or accept any secondhand equipn1ent as part payment for new. They may, however, 

assist in finding a buyer for said second-hand equipment, but shall in 

no case take any financial interest in it. 

(k) Cash discounts.-A maximum discount of 3 percent may be 

allowed as cash discount on all orders for complete machines., providing the full cash settiiement is receiYed within 15 days from date 

of shipment. 

(1) No guarantee on equipment shall provide for more than defective material and workman hip and no guarantee hall exceed 

ninety (90) days from date of shipment. 

(m) It shall be an unfair method of competition to sell below cost. 

Cost shall be determined in accordance with the uniform method of 

cost finding subject to the approval of the Administrator, set up as 

provided in Section 1 ( e) of this Article V. 

(n) Discontinued or noncurrent lines may be sold at such prices as 

are necessary to move such stock 1nto the buyer's hands. Description of all' such items, together with the quantities thereof and the 

minimum prices at which it is contemplated that it be ~old shall be 

submitted to the Code Authority who shall pass on the obsolescence 

of such equipment and establish rules and regulations under which 

it shall be sold, subject to the approval of the Administrator. 
6 

( o) In the sale or offering for sale of any machine or attachment, 

no member of the Industry shall misrepresent his products by any 

fal'se means or device which has the capacity or tendency to mislead 

or deceive purchasers or prospective purchasers. 

(p) No member of the Industry shall defame anY. competitor by 

falsely imputing to him dishonorable conduct, inability to perform 

contracts; questionable credit standing or by other false representation or by false disparagement of the grade or quality of his goods. 

( q) No member of the Industry shall solicit, advise, induce, or 

entice a customer of another member of the Industry to break or 

rescind his firm sales order or contract with such other member. 

( r) Prior to December 31, 1933, no member of the Industry shall 

increase the sale price of his product sold after the effective date 

hereof over the price on July 1, 1933, by more than is made necessary 

by actual increases in manufacturing, distribution, and material costs, 

or by taxes or other costs resulting :from action taken pursuant to 

the Agricultural Adjustment Act and/ or this Code since July 1, 

1933, and in setting such price increase, full weight shall be given 

to probable increase in sales volume. In case a member of the Industry on July 1, 1933, was selling his product at less than actual 

cost, he may take his cost price on that date as the base for such increase in selling price as is permitted by this section. 

ARTICLE VI-GENERAL

( a) Promote n1onopolies or monopolistic practices ; 

(b) Permit or encourage unfair competition; 

( c) Eliminate or oppress small enterprises; or 

( d) Discriminate against small enterprises.
