Th PRE IDE ' 

The White House. 

Sm: This i a r port on an amendment to the Code of Fair Competition for the Paper and Pulp Industry. Your Ord r dated ovember 17 1933, approving said Code, provided in part that within 90 

da after the effective date of said Code, a public hearing should 

be held for the purpose of determining the adequacy of the minimum 

wages establi hed in said Code, after which a report and recommendation should be submitted to you for further order. 

Pur uant to such provision public hearings were held in Washington, D. C. on February 13, 1934. Thereafter, the Industry, through 

the Paper Industry Authority, assented to the proposed amendment. 

The Deputy Administrator has submitted a report and recommendations, which are attached hereto and included herein by reference. 

The proposed amendment will increase by two (2) cents per hour 

the minimum wage of all laborers, mechanical workers and artisans, 

except female employees in the Southern zone; delete the present 

provisions respecting minimum wages of other employees, ranging 

from $12.00 to $14.50 per week according to population of the cities 

in which plants are located and substitute minima of $14.00, $15.00 

and $16.00 per week for such employees in the Southern, Central and 

Northern Zones, respectively; and delete a provision permitting subminimum wages equal to the rates paid on July 15, 1929 but not less 

than 90% of the minimum rates. 

The Deputy Administrator, in his final report on said amendment, 

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

The Board finds that: 

(a) The Amendment 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 thereof, and will provide for the general 

welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose of 

cooperative action of labor and management under adequate governmental sanction 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 tandards of labor, and by otherwi e 

rehabilitatin~g industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including ithout limita-

(2) 
3 

tion Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7 and 

Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

( c) The Code empowers the Paper Industry Authority to present 

and assent to the Amendment on behalf of the industry as a whole. 

( d) The Amendment an"d the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

( e) The Amendment and the Code as amended are 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 

Amendment. . For these reasons, therefore, the Board recommends approval of 

this Amendment to said Code.
