The PRESIDENT, 

The lVhite Hmt;se, 

SIR: This is the report of the An1endments to the Code of Fair 

Competition of the Canning and Packing Machinery Industry to_ permit the inclusion of another industrial group, the hearing having 

been held in Washington on the 7th day of December, 1933, in 

accordance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery 

Act. 

PROVISIONS AS TO HOURS AND WAGES 

The .provisions of the Code have not been altered as to hours and 

wages from the provisions as adopted in the Code as signed on 

October 31, 1933. The Meat Packing and Allied Products Mach~ 

inery and Equipment group will work under the labor provisions of 

this Code as a part of this Industry. 

EOONOl\fiC EFFECT OF THE AMENDMENTS 

Under normal conditions in this industrial group the work week 

averaged 44 hours. Operation on the shortened schedule of hours, 

as provided in the Code, will result in an increase of 16 percent in 

the number of employees, or a total for the group of 696. This 

brings the total number of employees in the Canning and Packing 

Machinery Industry up to approximately 2,200. 

This industrial group manufactures machinery which is used in 

the processing and preserving of animal products for food. Invested 

capital is $2,500,000 and the five-year annual average value o-f its 

products is $3,500,000. The value of products of the Canning and 

Packing :Machinery Industry on the above average basis now totals 

$7,000,000. 

FINDJXGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said 

amendments to said Code having found as herein set forth and on 

the basis of all the proceedings in this matter : 

I find that: 

(a) The amendments to said Code and the Code as amended are 

well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of 

the National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of 

obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce 

which tend to diminish the amount thereo£1 and will provide for 

the general welfare by promoting the organization of industry for 

the purpose of cooperative action among trade group·, by inducing 

and maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair 

competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization
