REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White H O'u.se. 

Srn: This is a report on the Code of Fair Competition for the 

Stained and Leaded Glass Industry, the hearing having been conducted in Washington on June 1, 1934, in accordance with the provisions of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act. 

HOURS AND WAGES 

The Code provides that no employee shall be permitted to work 

jn excess of forty ( 40) hours in any one week, or more than eight 

(8) hours in any twenty-four (24) hour period or more than six (6) 

days in any even (7) day period, except that employees may be 

permitted to work not in exce s of forty-eight ( 48) hours in any one 

week in any six ( 6) weeks in any six ( 6) months period; provided, 

however, that any such employees shall be paid at least one and 

one-half (1lj2 ) times the normal rate for all hours worked in excess 

of eight (8) hours in any one clay and forty (40) hours in any one 

week. Exception is made for employees engaging in emergency

ECONOMIC EFFECT OF 'l'HE CODE 

This Industry, because of its connection with the Con tru 'tion 

Inclu try, has suffered severely during the depression. The number 

of employees in the Industry in 1929 was approximately 3,500 but 

had fallen to about 1,000 in 1933, the late t year for which figures 

are available. The volume of production in 1933 was about one-sixth 

of that in 1929, when it was estimated at approximately $6,000,000. According to the statjstical analysi of the Divi ion of Ro. earch 

(110) 
111 

and Planning the stimulation of employment in thi Indu try will 

have to await an increa e in building con truction. 

FINDING 

The Deputy Admini trator in his final report to us on said Code 

having found as herein set forth and on th ba i of all the proceedings in this matter, 

We find that : 

(a) Said Code is well de igned to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act, inclulling 

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 among trade groups, by 

inducing and maintaining united action of labor and management 

under adequate governmental sanctions and uper-vi ·ion, 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 a may be temporarily 

required), by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through increa ing purchasing power by reducing 

and relieving unemployment, by im.proving tandards of labor, and 

by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) Said Industry normally employs not more than 50,000 em- ployees; and is not classified by us as a major industry. 

(c) The 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 i3 

an industrial association truly representative of the aforesaid Industry; and that said association imposes no inequitable restrictions on 

admission to membership therein. 

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

monopolistic practices. 

(e) The 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 

Code. 

For these reasons, therefore, we have approved this Code.
