REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Sm: This is a report on the Supplementary Code o:f Fair Com- petition :for the Agricultural Insecticide and Fungicide Industry. a 

division o:f the Chemical ~1anu:facturing Industry, the hearing h~v- ing been conducted thereon in Washington, D.C., March 9, 1934, in 

accordance with the provisions o:f Title I o:f the N ationul Industrial 

Recovery Act. 

GENERAL STATEMENT 

The Agricultural Insecticide and Fugicide Industry, being truly 

representative of this division o:f the Chemical l\1anu:facturing In- dustry, has elected to avail itself o:f the option of submitting a Supplementary Code of Fair Competition, as provided for in Articles 

XI and XII o:f the Basic Code :for the Chemical l\fanufacturing In- dustry approved by you on the tenth day of February, 1934. 

RES 1\IE OF THE CODE- LABOR PROYISIOl'rn 

Article III states-

' All provisions of the Code of Fair Competition for the Chemical 

:M~anufacturing Industry as approved by the President on February 

10, 1934, or as it may thereafter be modified or amended, are hereby 

incorporated by reference as though completely set :forth herein." 

Inasmuch as the Basic Code for the Chemical J\1anufacturing 

Industry, of which the Agricultural Insecticide and Fungicide Industry is a division, contains the labor provisions and as one of the 

principal obj ects in having a basic code for the Chemical 1fanufacturing Industry was to furnish a master code for the entire Industry 

which covered wages and hours for all chemical products produced 

by the same company, the labor provisions specified in the Basic Code 

for the Chemical l\'Ianufacturing Industry are those applyi11g to the 

Division of the Agricultural In ecticide and Fungicide Indu~try. 

OTH£R PROYISIONS 

Article II gives the necessary definition applicable to this diYi ion 

of the Chemical Manufacturing Industry. The re-processing or 

mixing of the fip.i heel products of the Industry are not regarded 

as a part of this Indu try and are not included in this Supplementary Code because the con umer, that is, the :farmer or grower, 

often buys material which he mixes himself. They are not covered 

by the Code, therefore becau e it is recognized that the farmer or 

grower has the right to lo this if he wishes, and because it is from 

a practical standpoint, inaclvisable to include such operations in the 

Code. 

(2) 
3 

Articie IV establishes a Supplementary Code Authority consisting 

of ten members to be elected at a general meeting of the Industry 

which will be called by the Temporary Code Committee. Every 

member of the Industry will be allowed to participate in the election. 

I n addition there will be not more than three members (who shall be 

without vote) appointed by the Administrator to represent the National Recovery Administration. 

Article V provides the trade practice rules which shall apply 

to this division of the Chemical l\ifa.nufacturing Industry. These 

provisions have been given a great deal of consideration in or ler 

that the Industry's requiremenL for eliminating destructive price 

competition may be adequately met without conflicting with the 

policies of the various advisory boards of the Administration. 

In this connection, Section 2 requires the jobber. of the Industry 

to observe certain of the fair trade practice provisions approved for 

the manufacturers of the Industry. This provision is regarded as 

essential by the Industry. However, it is provided that " This 

section shall remain in force only for a period beginning with the 

effective date of this Code and ending on the last clay of the sixth 

calendar month thereafter unle · such period shall be extended bv 

the Administrator." u 

Article VII exempts from the provisions of this Supplementary 

Code sales or shipments for export trade. 

Article IX provides that "price increases except such as may be 

required to meet individual cost should be delayed, but when made 

such increases should, so far as possible, be limited to actual additional increases in the seller's costs." 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said 

Supplementary Code having found as herein set forth and on the 

basis of all the proceedings in th is matter: 

I find that: 

(a) Said Supplementary 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 purposes of cooperative action among 

the trade groups, by inducing and maintaining united action of 

labor and management under adequate governmental sanctions and 

supervision, by -eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the f ullest po sible utilization of the present productive capacity 

of industries, by avoiding undue restrictjon of production ( except 

as may be temporarily required), by increasing the consumption of 

industrial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing 

power, by reducing and relievjng unemployment, by improving 

standards of labor and by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) Said Industry normally employs not more than 50,000 employees; and is not cla sified by me as a rna,jor industry. 

(c) The Supplementary Code RS approved omplies in all re- spects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, includ-
4 

ing without limitation Subsection (a) o:f Section 3, Subsection (a) 

of Section 7, and Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof; and that 

the applicant group of manufacturers is truly representative of the 

aforesaid Industry; and that the Agricultural I nsecticide and Fungicide Association, which was organized since the public hearing was 

scheduled, imposes no inequitable restrictions on admission to 

member hip therein. 

( d) The Supplementary Code is not designed to and will not 

permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

( e) The Supplementary Code is not designed to and will not 

eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not operate to discriminate against them. 

( f) Tho"e engaged in other steps of the economic process ha Ye 

not been deprived o:f the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

Supplementary Code. 

For these reasons, therefore, I have approved this Supplementary 

Code. 

Respectfully, 

MAY 1, 1934.

purposes and policies of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery 

Act. 

ARTICLE IX-PRICE INCREASES 

Whereas the policy of the Act to increase real purchasing power 

will be m.ade more difficult of consummation if prices of goods and 

services increase as rapidly as wages, it is recognized that price 

increases except such as may be required to m.eet individual cost 

should be delayed, but when made such increases should, so far as 

possible, be limited to actual additional incre.ases in the seller's costs. 

ARTICLE X 

On the tenth day after the Administrator shall have approved this 

supplementary Code, the provisions hereof shall constitute standards 

of fair competition for the Industry and shall be binding upon all 

members of the I ndustry.
