empl y d during the month of \.ugust 1933, andles than forty firms 

(570) 
571 

were engaged in the business. The capital inv t d in 1932 wa estimated at twelve million dollars ($12,000,000) and the annual sales 

at twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000). Of the thirty-eight 

firms who replied to questionnaire , twenty-four of them, who are 

member of the Association, employed 1,900 persons. 

The tati. tics on wages that were compiled are quite m agre but 

they how that very low wages were paid, in everal instances, not 

more than fifteen (15) cents per hour, and the average minimum 

wage for the entire Indu try wa twenty-nine cents (29¢) per hour 

in August, 1933. It is estimated that under the Code employment 

will be increased ten per cent, and the amount paid out in wages will 

be increased substantially. The Industry indicated that the peak 

of employment comes in the spring and early umm.e r months. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrat{)r in his final report to me on said Code 

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

I fin l that: 

(a) Said Code is \\ell designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the National Indu trial 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 purpose 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 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 con umption of industrial and 

agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of 

labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) Said Industry normally employs not more than 50,000 employees; and i not classified by me as a major industry. 

(c) The Code as approved complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and 

Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof; and that the applicant group 

is an indu trial group, truly representative of the aforesaid Industry; and that said group impo es no inequitable restrictions on admi - sion to member hip therein. 

(d) The Code i not designed to and will not permit monopolies 

or monopolistic practices. 

(e) The Code is 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 

Code. 

For these rea ons, therefore, I have approved this Code· provided, 

however, that the provisions of Section 3 (c) of Article VI, in ofar 
572 

as they prescribe a waiting period between the filing with the Code 

Authority and the effective date of revised price lists or revised terms 

and conditions of sale be and they are hereby stayed pending my 

further Order either within a period of sixty clays from the effective
