REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Sm: This is a report on the Stone Setting Contractors Chapter of 

the Code of Fair Competition for the Construction Industry which 

is de cribed as Chapter I and which was approved by you on January 

31, 1934. 

This Chapter is a revision after a public hearing conducted in 

Washington on April 20, 1934, in accordance with the provisions of 

theN ational Industrial Recovery Act. This Chapter amplifies Chapter I, but applies specifically to the Stone Setting Contractors Divison 

of the Construction Indu try. 

PROVISIONS FOR HOURS AND WAGES 

vVith very minor exceptions, the hours and wages set forth in 

Chapter I of the Construction Code as approved by you on January 

31, 1934 are applicable to this Code. 

ECO 01\HC EFFECT OF THE CODE 

No official or other authentic data are available to show the approximate amount of business done by members of this Division. Estimates indicate that approximately 13,100 employees were engaged in 

this Industry in 1929 and 5,120 in 1933. 

It i reasonable to predict that the establishment of uniform rates 

of pay and hours of work and the prohibition of unfair trade practices will be beneficial to this Industry as well as to the employees and 

the consumer. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to the National 

Industrial Recovery Board on said Stone Setting Contractors Chapter of the Code of Fair Competition for the Construction Industry, 

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

The National Industrial Recovery Board finds that: 

(a) t;aid Stone Setting Contractors Chapter and said Code of 

Fair Competition for the Con truction Industry, as supplemented 

by said Ston.a Setting Contractors Chapter, are well designed to 

promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act, including removal of obstructions to the free 

flow of inter tate an l foreign commerce which tend to diminish the 

amount thereof and will provide for the general welfare by promoting the organization of indu try for the purpose of cooperative 

(2) 
3 

action among the trade group , by inducing and maintaining united 

action of labor and management under ad quate o·overnmental 

anction and upervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practice , by promoting the full st po sible utiljzation of the pre ent 

produ tive capacity of indu tries, 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 reli ving unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwi e rehabilitating industry. 

(b) Said Industry normally employs not more than 50,000 employee ; and is not classified by the National Industrial Recovery Board 

as a ma.jor industry. 

(c) Said Stone Setting Contractors Chapter and the Code of Fair 

Competition for the Construction Industry, as supplemented by 

said Stone Setting Contractors Chapter, as approved comply 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 association is an industrial association truly representative of the aforesaid Industry; and that said Association imposes no inequitable restrictions on admission to membership therein. 

(d) Said Stone Setting Contractors Chapter and the Code of Fair 

Competition for the Construction Industry, as supplemented by said 

Stone Setting Contractors Chapter are not designed to and will not 

permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(e) Said Stone Setting Contractors Chapter and the Code of 

Fair Competition for the Construction Industry, as supplemented by 

said Stone Setting Contractors Chapter, 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 

Stone Setting Contractors Chapter and of said Code, as supplemented by this Stone Setting Contractors Chapter thereof. 

For these reasons, therefore, the National Industrial Recovery 

Board has approved said Stone Setting Contractors Chapter of the 

Code of Fair Competition for the Construction Industry. 

For the National Industrial Recovery Board: 

DECEMBER 31, 1934.
