Trade, and revised after a hearing held in Washington on the 

14th day of March, 1934, in accordance with the provisions of the 

National Industrial Recovery Act. 

PROVISIONS AS TO HOURS AND WAGES 

This Industry is now operating under the labor provisions of the 

Basic Code for the Packaging Machinery Industry and Trade, of 

which it is a division. 

ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF THE CODE 

This Industry represents a total invested capital of approximately 

$390,000, and an average annual sales volume for the past six years 

of about $310,000. 

Operating under the President's Reemployment Agreement and 

the provisions of the Basic Code, there has been an increase in 

employment of 48.6% over the 1932 level, together with an estimated 

increase in total payroll of approximately 42%.

having :found as herein set forth and on the basis of all the proceedings in this 1natter : 

I find that: 

(a) Said Code is well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act, including 

removal of obstructions to the free fl.ow 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 cooverative 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 consumption of

grou1 is an indu trial as o iation truly representative of the afor -

said Indu try; and that aid a sociation impo es no inequitable

( d) The Code is not designed to and will not permit monopoli s 

or monopolistic practices. 

( e) The Code is not designed to and will not eliminate or oppress 

small enterpri es and will not operate to discriminate against them.
