REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Sm: This is a report on the Supplemental Code of Fair Competi- tion for the Rolling Mill Machinery and Equipment Subdivision 

of the lVIachinery and Allied Products Industry, public hearing 

having been conducted thereon in ,v-ashington, D.C., December 21, 

1933, in accordance with the provisions o,f Title I of the National 

Industrial Recovery Act. Every person who filed a request for an 

appearance was freely heard in public and all statutory and regulatory requirements were complied with. 

GENERAL STATEMENT 

The Rolling Mill ~tfachinery and Equipment Association, being 

truly representative of thi,s Subdivision o.f the lVIachinery and Allied 

Products Industry, has elected to avail itself of the option of submitting a Supplemental Code of Fair Competition, as provided in 

paragraph (2), Article I of the Basic Code for the Machinery and 

Allied Products Industry approved by you on the seventeenth day 

of March, 1934. 

This Subdivision represents a part of the capital goods industry, 

manufacturing and selling rolling mill machinery and equipment, 

including roll,'3 ( except hardened steel forged rolls, unless made 

tnd sold as a. part of such rolling mill machinery and equipment) 

and including roll stands, tables, shears, roll lathes, tube mill ma- chinery and all other auxiliary equipment and parts thereof used 

in the rolling and processing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals to 

produce commercially recognized rolling mill products. 

ECONOnIIC EFFECT 

In 1929 this Subdivi,sion of the Industry employed approximately 

8,287 persons, including office employees. 

Approximately 7,375 of the total number of persons employed or 

89 per cent were estimated to have been factory wage earners. Since 

1929 total factory employment declined from 7,375 workers to a 

minimum of 2,559 workers in the fourth quarter of 1932, or 65 per 

cent. Thereafter employment increased almost constantly to 4,639 in 

the fourth quarter of 1933, or 81 per cent. 

Estimated annual sales in 1929 amounted to $42,628,000 and had 

declined in 1932 to $11,579,000 or 73 per cent. Thereafter, stimated 

annual sales increased to $12,565,000 or 9 per cent. 

Based on summarized National Recovery Admini tration que tionnaire returns as of June 15, 1933, it i e timatecl that abont 65 per cent 

of all factory workers worked more than 40 hours per week and that

pr duction and hence increased man-hour requirements. 

RE UME OF THE SUPPLEME~T AL CODE 

Article I states the purpose of the Supplemental Code. 

Article II accurately defines specific terms employed in this Supplemental Code. 

Article III. The labor provisions of the Basic Code for the 1\1arhinery and Allied Products Industry as approved March 17, 1934, 

are incorporated by reference as the labor provisions of this Supplemental Code. 

Article IV adopts the relevant portions of Article II "Definitions" and Article VI, "Administration"; and Articles VIII," Modifications and Termination", and IX, "vVithdrawal" of the Ba ic 

Code for the Machinery and Allied Products Industry, as approved 

March 17, 1934. 

Article V e tablishes a Code Authority consisting of six member , one of whom may be elected from and by the employers who 

are non-members of the applicant association. The Administrator 

in his discretion may appoint one additional member ( without , ote 

and without expense to the Subdivision). 

Article VI provides for an accounting system and methods of cost 

finding and/ or estimating. 

Article VII provides for the determination of a lowest reasonable 

cost when an emergency exists as a result of destructive pricecutting. 

Article VIII provides for methods of setting up, revising and filing price lists and discount sheets and terms of sale and payment. 

Article IX sets forth the fair trade practices that have been especially designed to restrain unfair competition in this Subdivision.

4 

functioning of this Subdivision as an individual industry under its 

own Code. 

Article XIII stipulates that ther e shall be no inequitable restrictions and provides against monopolies. 

Article X IV gives the effective date of this Supplemental Code. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said SuJ? - plemental Code having f ound as herein set forth and on the basis 

vf all the proceedings in this matter : 

I find that: 

(a) Said Supplemental 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 flow of interstate 

u.nd foreign commerce which tend to diminish the amount thereof 

11nd 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 super- wision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices2 by promoting the 

f ullest possible utilization of the present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue restriction of production ( except as may 

be temporarily required), by increasin~ the consumption of indus- trial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, 

by reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving standards 

of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

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

(c) The Supplemental 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 

association is an industrial association truly representative of the 

aforesaid ~ubdivision of the industry; and that said association im- poses no inequitable restrictions on admission to membership therein. 

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

monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

( e) The Supplemental 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 

Supplemental Code. For these reasons, therefore, I have approved this Supplemental 

Code, provided that certain provisions relating to price publication 

are stayed as stated in the Order. Respectfully, 

JUNE 7, 1934.

or offer to sell any products of the Subdivision for which the lowest 

r easonable cost has been determined, at such prices or upon such 

t erms or conditions of sale that the buyer will pay less therefor 

than the lowest reasonable cost of such products. 

vVhen it appears that conditions have changed, the Code Authority 

upon its own initiative or upon the request of any interested party, 

shall cause the determination to be reviewed. 

ARTICLE VIII-PrucE LrsTs 

(a) If and when Code Authority determines that in any group of

after notice of such determination, file with Code Authority a net 

price list, or a price list with discount sheet, as the case may be, individually prepared by him, showing his current prices, or prices and 

discounts, and terms of sale and payment for such specified product, 

and Code Authority shall immediately publish and send copies thereof to all known employers who are cooperating under this Supplemental Code as described in Article V ( d) and engaged in the 

manufacture of such specified products. 

Revised price lists and/or discount sheets and/ or terms of sale 

and payment m.ay he filed from time to time thereafter with the 

Code Authority by any such employer, to become operative upon the 
9 

date specified therein1 but such revised price lists and/or discount

may file, if he so desires revisions of his price lists and/or dis ount 

sheets and/or terms of sale and payment, which shall become ff ctive 

upon the date when the revised price lists and/or discount ·he ts 

and/ or terms of sale and payment first filed shall go into eif ct.

1 

(b) If and when Code Authority shall determine that in any 

group of the Subdivision not now selling its product on the basis of 

price lists, with or without discount sheets, with terms of sale and 

payment, the distribution or marketing conditions in the group are 

the same a , or similar, to the distribution or marketing conditions 

in a group where the use of price lists, with or without discount 

sheets and terms of sale and payment is well recognized, and that a 

system of selling on net price lists or price lists and discount sheets 

with terms of sale and payment for such specified product should be 

put into effect in such group, then each employer in such group shall 

within twenty (20) days after notice of such determination file 

with Code Authority net price lists or price lists and discount sheets, 

with t erms of sale and payment, showing his prices and discounts 

and terms of sale andfayment, and such price lists and/or discount 

sheets and/or terms o sale and payment may be thereafter revi eel 

in the manner hereinbefore provided. Provided that Code Authority shall make no detern1ination to place any product of the Subdi vision ( not now on a price list basis) on a price list basis, as 

provided in this Section, unless affirmative consent to such determination is given by a majority vote of employers who are at that 

time cooperating under this Sup~lemental Code as described in 

Article V ( d), and are engaged m manufacturing such product. 

The eligibility requirements, method, and effect of such voting shall 

be the same as is provided by Article V hereof. 

( c) Code Authority, for the purpose of determining the lo-west 

rea onable co t, shall, to the extent permitted by the Act, have power, 

on its own initiative, or on the complaint of any employer, to investigate any price or the terms of sale and payment for any product 

of any employer· and for the purpose of the investigation thereof, 

to require such employer to furnish such information concerning 

the cost of manufacturing and selling such product as Code Authority shall deem necessary or proper for such purpose and as the Act 

may allow. 

· o employer shall sell directly or indirectly by any mean whatso ver, any product of the Subd1vision covered by provisions of this 

Article III at a price or at discounts or on terms of sale and pa - ment, different from those provided in his own current net price 

lists or price lists and discount sheets, and terms of sale an l payment.
