WASHINGTON, D. C.,

REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn : This is a report on an amendment to the Code of Fair CDmpetition for the Transparent Materials Converters Industry. Your 

Order dated November 17, 1933, approving the Code of Fair Competition for the PapeT and Pulp Industry, provided, in part, that 

within ninety days a:fter the effective date of the Code of Fair Competition for the Paper and Pulp Industry a further hearing shall be 

held for the purpose of determining the adequacy of the minimum 

wages established in said Code, after which a report and recommendation should be submitted to you for your further order which 

should have the effect of a condition to your approval of aid Code. 

Because of the relationship between the Paper and Pulp Industry 

and the Paper Bag Manufacturing Industry, the wage provisions 

in the two Codes were identicaL Further, in view of the provision 

in your Order approving the Code for the Paper and Pulp In{:lustry 

a provision was included in the Paper Bag Manufacturing Industry 

Code requiring that a similar hearing be held on that Code and that 

in the event any of the provisions of the Paper and Pulp Code relating to wages and hours of laboT shuuld be amended, then and in 

that event, such amended provisions should apply also to the Code 

for the Paper Bag M:anufact11ring Industry. 

Because of the same relationship, the provision in the Code for the 

Transparent 1\-fateTials Converters Industry with respect to wages is 

parallel to the wage provision applicable to theN orthern Zone under 

the Code of Fair Competition for the Paper Bag ~anufacturing Industry. The Code of Fa-it Com.petition :for the Transparent Mate- rials Converters Industry provides in Section 6 of Article V that in 

the event the wages specified fo-r the N oTthern Zone in Article V, 

Section 1 of the Code for the Paper Bag Manufacturing Industry, 

and in Article V, Section 41 are modified, then and in that _event 

sueh amended provisions shall also apply to tne Code for the Transparent Materials Converters Industry, a.nd that Sections 1, 2, and 5 

of Article V oi the Transparent :MateTials Converters Industry Code 

shall be deemed to have been amended SQ as to conform thereto. 

The Codes for the Paper and Pulp Industry and for the P aper 

Bag Manufa.cturing Industry, having been amended, it is now necessary to amend Sections 1 2, and 5 of Article V of the Code for the 

Transparent Materials c:onverters Industry. 

The effect of the amendment will be to increase by two cents (2¢) 

per hour the minimum wages of all employees other than office or 

clerical employees, employed in any plant in the Industry or on 

work connected with or incidental to the operations of such plant ; 

to delete a .provision permitting sub-minimum wages ba ed upon 

the rate paid on July 15, 1929, as low as 90% of the minimum; and 

(3) 
4 

to eliminate a provision fixing the wages of all other employees, 

except commission salesmen, at $12.00, $14.00, $14.50, and $15.00 per 

week, depending upon the population of the city in which the plants 

may be lo-cated and in lieu thereof, to insert a provision fixing the 

minimum wage of all such employees at $16.00 per week. 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report on said amendment 

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

The Board finds that: 

(a) The Amendment to said Code and the Code as amended are 

well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of 

the National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of obstructions to the free flow 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 cooperative action of labor and management under adequate governmental sanction 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 consun1ption of industrial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, by iinproving standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended 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. 

(c) The Code provides that such amendment shall become effective upon approval of an amendment to Sections 1 and 4 of Article 

V of the Code of Fair Competition for the Paper Bag Manufacturing Industry. 

(d) The Amendment and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(e) The Amendment and the Code as amended 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 econ01nic process have 

not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

Amendment. 

For these reasons, therefore, the said Amendment has been 

approved. 

For the National Industrial Recovery Board: 

FEBRUARY 14. 1935.
