FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT. 

(1) 
DECEMBER 1, 1933. 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: This is a report upon an amendment (number I) proposed 

to the Code of Fair Competition approved for the Cast Iron Soil 

Pipe Industry in the United States, and on the hearing conducted 

thereon in Washington, D.C., on October 23, 1933, in accordance with 

the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery Act. 

RESUME OF THIS AMENDMENT AS TO WAGES AND HOURS 

This amendment qualifies the exemption provided for executive 

officers and their supervisory staffs by providing that such exemption 

shall apply only to those earning $35.00 or more per week, and provides for certain classes of employees who were not specifically covered in the Code as originally drawn, as follows: 

Superannuated Employees 

Learners 

Watchmen 

Shipping Crews 

GENERAL STATEMENT 

The Code of Fair Competition for the Cast Iron Soil Pipe Industry was signed on September 7, 1933. Since it consideration the 

development of codes has shown the desirability of making special 

provision for the classes of workers named in the amendment and 

the need for such provision in this Industry. It is believed that the 

amendment will pre-vent improper interpretations by clarification 

of Sections 3 and 4 of the Code. 

The limitation on the number of learners and superannuated employees and the establishment of minimum wages for them, and of 

maximum working hours for watchmen and shipping crews, will 

prevent misunderstanding and resultant discrimination and result in 

increased stabilization of labor. 

I believe that the amendment to the Code is fair to Industry, and 

to Labor, and within the intent and purpose of Title I of the National 

Industrial Recovery Act. 

Accordingly, I hereby recommend the approval of this proposed 

Amendment Number I to the Code of Fair Competition for the Cast 

Iron Soil Pipe Industry approved September 7, 1933. 

Respectfully, 

(2) 

HUGH s. JOHNSON, 

Administrator.
