shall be sub tituted therefor: 

"XVII (1) The Textile Labor Relations Board shall appoint a 

Cotton Textile \Vork Assignment Board, to be composed of an impartial chairman, one representative of the employers subject to the 

Code of Fair Competition for the Cotton Textile Industry, ~nd one 

r epresentative of the employees in that Industry. 

"(2) In order to provide opportunity to develop a sound method 

and adequate organization for the regulation of work assignments, 

no emvloyer prior to February 1, 1935, shall make any change in 

work assignment of any class of employees which shall increase the 

effort required over that prevailing on September 21, 193·±. 

" During this period the number of looms, frames or other machines required to be tended by any class ·of employees shall not be 

increased where the cl1aracter ·of the raw material, yarn, construction of cloth, preparatory processes, type of equipment used, or 

cha,racter of finish or put-up, is not changed. Where such changes 

do occur the number of machines tended by such employees may be 

increased or decreased in such manner as will not increase the 

amount of effort required of the worker. 

"Where, during the period above referred to, a mill resumes the 

manufacture of any specific product which it has made within six 

months prior to September 21, 1934, and where the conditions of 

manufacture enumerated in the preceding paragraph are not changed, 

then the work load formerly used on such product shall be the guide 

in determining the proper work assignment. 

"Where, on September 21, 1934, a new style of yarn or cloth or 

any other new type of product was in course of introduction or is 

thereafter during the period above referred to introduced into a 

mill or finishing plant, a tentative work load may be established 

during the period of determining .a proper work load in accordance 

with the foregoing principles. 

"(3) Prior to February 1, 1935, on petition of any employee or 

employer affected, or his representative, or on its own motion, the 

Cotton Textile Work Assigrunent Board may investigate any work 

assignment which has been increased since July 1, 1933, at any mill 

and the mill sh all show the reasons for such increase. If after hearing the Board finds such assignment requires excessive effort it may 

require its reduction accordingly. 

"(4) The Cotton Textile vVork Assignment Board shall have 

authority to appoint district impartial chairn1en and such other 

agents as it may select and to issue rules and regulations to carry 

out the foregoing provisions of this Section.

to instructions of the President, make a study of actual operations 

in representative plants and report to the President as to a permanent 

plan for regulation of work assignments in the Industry."
