REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT

The PRESIDENT,

SIR: This is a report on the Supplemental Code of Fair Competition for the THydiraulic Machinery Subdivision of Machinery and

Allied Products Industry, a Public Hearing on which was held in

Wshington, 1).C.. on Di eceinber 21, 1933. The Hearing was conducted in full accoribdce with the provisions of Title I of the

National Industrial RIcovery Act.

GENERAL STATEMENT

The Iylvd r ulic Machinery Subdivision, being truly representative

of the iminufacturers of the products defined in Article II of the

Supplemental Code, has elected to formulate and submit a Supplemental Code of Fair Competition as provided in the second paragraph of Article I of the Code of Fair (ompetitioii for the iMachinerv

and Allied Products Industry, approved by you on the seventeenth

day of March, 1934.

The Hlyraulic Machinerv Subdivision means the manufacture for

sale, erecting, and selling of hydraulic machinery of all kinds and

par-ts thereof, whether i5ng water or any other liquid as enumerated

in detail in the Supplemental Code attached thereto. It excludes,

however, prime movers such as turbines, water wheels, and their

acressory cquipnent, hyuraulic brakes and/or parts therefor, hydra ulic shock absorbers, hydraulic bumpers and hydraulic dump

trucks. It includes all those engaged in such naniufacture for sale.

ECONOMIC EFFECT

This ,Slubdivision Las been severely affected by the recent depressi. Th dvisedenced b the steady decline in anial sales since

1929. The volume if pr~uiiction as reported by the Division of

Ei()onmilc ReQearch and Planning declined fiomn ,10,000,000 in 1929

to $2,000,0 in 1912, or 80(-,. Sales as reported for the first six

months in 1933 ainouited to only $700,000. However, an increase ill

prmdlction is indicated by an increase in man-hours reported since

the sceoid (piarter of 1933.

dElyedn of approximately 1,456 factory workers in 1929

deClined(1(l to ablt (,1 workers, or 55 during the first quarter of

Slice the1 emlo)1 yimient has increased.

The wage provisions for the Subdivision, which is operating under

the Code of the Machinery and Allied Products Indlistry, provide

that employees engaged in plant operations shall be paid as follows:

(1) in cities of more than 50,000 population and their imninediate

vicinity, 40 cents per hour; (2) in cities of more than 10,000 but not

more than 50,000 population and their inmnediate vicinity, which

cities are not in the immediate vicinity of a city of more than 50,000

population, 38 cents per hour; (3) in cities of 10,000 population or

less and their immediate vicinity, which cities are not in the imniediate vicinity of a city of more than 10,000 population, 36 cents per

hour, except that emp)lovees eiguged in plant operations in all loealities in the states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,

Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Aiabamioa, Mississippi, Arkansis, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma, shall be paid not less than 32 cents per

hour.

When females do substantially the same work as males or replace

males, they shall receive the same pay. However, no female employee shall be paid less than 87I> of the proper rate for the locality in which employed.

Office boys and girls and apprentices shall be paid not less than

80% of the minimum wage.

Employees other than those engaged in plant operations shall

receive not less than $15.00 per week.

The Code provides that no person under 16 years of age shall be

employed in the Subdivision.

DESIGNATED HOURLY RATES

I Based on the distribution as of June 15, 1933, and on the specified percentages of the number of factory

workers receiving less than the designated rates shown in the above table, the adoption of the proposed minimum rates will probably cause an increase in factory pay rolls. The estimated increase probably will not

exceed four percent.
