AMENDMENT TO CODE OF FAIR COMPETITION 

FOR THE 

FARM EQUIPMENT INDUSTRY 

As Approved on December 21, 1933 

BY 

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT 

Executive Order 

IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF THE SOUTHERN PLOW MANUFACTURERS AssocIATION AND THE BLOUNT PLow Womrs, FOR CERTAIN EXEMPTIONS FROM THE CODE OF FAIR COMPETITION FOR THE 

FARM EQUIPMENT INDUSTRY 

A Code of Fair Competition for the Farm Equipment Industry 

has been heretofore approved by me. After such approval, and in 

accordance with the provisions of my further Executive Order dated 

July 15, 1933, hearings have been granted by the Administrator to 

the above-named applicants, allegedly directly affected by said Code, 

who have claimed that applications thereof have been unjust to them 

and have applied for an exemption therefrom with reference to the 

minimum wage provided in the said Code, and a change in wording 

to effect more complete dissemination of statistics. 

It appears to me on the basis of the showing made at the hearings 

granted the applicants above named as set forth in the report 

thereon, dated November 21, 1933, rendered to me by the Administrator, which is hereby adopted and approved, that no case of injustice has been made out by the Southern Plow Manufacturers Association respecting minimum rates, but that the wording of Article 

VI. Section 2. of the Code is unnecessarily restrictive: 

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of 

the United State,s, pursuant to the authority and discretion vested 

in me under Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act, approved June 16, 1933, and otherwise, and in accordance with the provisions of my Executive Order dated July 15, 1933, providing for 

hearing on the application of Codes under certain circumstances, do 

order that the application for exemption by the Southern Plow 

28770°-290-52-33 ( 1) 
2 

~1anufacturers Association be and is hereby denied, but that the 

words ' members of the Association " in the last sentence of Article 

VI, Section 2, be and is hereby changed to "employers who have 

agreed to the Code." 

Approval recommended : 

HUGH S. JOHNSON' 

Administrator. 

THE V{ HITE HousE, 

December f l, 1933. 

FRANICLIN D. ROOSEVELT. 
The PRESIDENT, 

DECEMBER 4, 1933. 

The 1Vhite Ho,use. 

Sm: This is a report of the hearing which has been granted, in 

accordance with the provisions of your Executive Order dated July 

15, 1933, to certain manufacturers, the Southern Plow :Manufacturers As ociation and the Blount Plow 1Vorks, who have alleged 

that they are directly affected by the Code of Fair Competition for 

the Farm Equipment Industry, and who have claimed that applications of that Code have been unjust to them and have applied for 

exemption therefrom. 

I am attaching herewith1. Report of the Assistant Deputy Administrator, who conducted 

said hearing, which report is accepted and approYed. 

2. Copy of transcript of the records. 

It appears to me on the basis of showing made at the hearing 

granted the Southern Plow Manufacturers' As ociation that no case 

of injustice requiring special treatment has been made out by the 

above-named applicant, and, accordingly, I recommend that the 

application of the aforementioned party for exemption or for stay 

of application of the provisions of the Code of Fair Competition for 

the Farm. Equipment Industry be denied. 

Because the wording of Article VI, Section 2, of the Code prevents a nonmember of the Association from review of the statistics 

of which he is part, I recommend that the application of the Blount 

Plow ~T orks for access to the statistics be grante<l, and that the 

words " members of the Association " in the last sentence of Article 

VI, Section 2, be changed to "employers who have agreed to the 

Code." 

Respectfully, 

Approved Code No. 39--Amendment No. 1. 

Registry No. 1303-1-04.
