Hugh S. Johnson, Administrator for Industrial Recovery, Approval recommended: Barton W. Murray, Division AdTninistrator. Washington, D.C, July 7, 193i. 72433° 829-32 ^34 (1) REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT The President, The White House. Sir: This is a report on the Supplemental Code of Fair Compe- tition for the Caster and Floor Truck Manufacturing Subdivision of Machinery and Allied Products Industry, a Public Hearing on which was held in Washington, D.C., on December 21, 1933. The Hearing was conducted in full accordance with the provisions of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act. GENERAL STATEMENT The Caster and Floor Truck Manufacturing Subdivision, being truly representative of the manufacturers 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 Article I of the Code of Fair Competition for the Machinery and Allied Products Industry, approved by you on the seventeenth day of March, 1934. The Caster and Floor Truck Manufacturing Subdivision means the manufacture for sale of casters of all descriptions, including furniture, metal bed, washing machine, hospital, truck casters, and miscellaneous casters, and floor protective devices, commonly called glides, slides and rests; hand propelled floor trucks of all descrip- tions, trailers (other than highway trailers), barrel skids and parts of all the foregoing products, and all articles and devices kindred or incident to the caster and/or floor truck business, and includes all those engaged in such manufacture for sale. ECONOMIC EFFECT This Subdivision has been severely affected by the recent depres- sion. This is evidenced by the steady decline in annual sales since 1929. Volume declined from $12,400,000 in 1929 to $4,300,000 in 1932, or 65%. Sales for the first six months of 1933, however, were estimated at $3,100,000. Estimates of approximate employment indicate that the number of factory workers in 1929, 2,206, declined to 1,097 in 1932, or 50%. In November, 1933, employment had sufficiently improved to bring the number up to 1,619. Estimated average man-hours per week declined from 111,624 in June, 1929, to 46,451, or 58%, in June, 1933, and thereafter increased to 59,579 in November, 1933, or 28%. Average weekly wages paid to factory employees amounted to $23.39 in June, 1929, and decreased to $14.55 in June, 1933, and to $14.31 in November, 1933, a decline of 39% from June, 1929. The wage provisions for the Subdivision, which is operating under the Code of the Machinery and Allied Products Industry, provide (2) that emploj^ees engaged in plant operations shall be paid as follows : (1) in cities of more than 50,000 population and their immediate vicinity, 40 cents per hour; (2) in cities of more than 10,000 but not more than 50,000 population and their immediate 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 vicinit}'', which cities are not in the imme- diate vicinity of a city of more than 10,000 population, 36 cents per hour, except that employees engaged in plant operations in all locali- ties in the states of Virginia North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor- gia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, 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 paj". However, no female em- ployee 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 re- ceive not less than $15.00 per week. This Supplemental Code provides that no person under sixteen years of age shall be employed in this Subdivision. RESUME OF SUPPLEMENTAL CODE Article I states the purpose of the Supplemental Code. Article II accurately defines specific terms applicable to the Sub- division as used in this Supplemental Code. Article III provides for the adoption of the employment provi- sions of the Code of Fair Competition for the Machinery and Allied Products Industry as approved by you on the seventeenth day of March, 1934, and as from time to time amended. Article IV provides for the adoption of Articles II, VI, VIII, and IX of the Code of Fair Competition for the Machinery and Allied Products Industry in accordance with the conditions of this Article governing their adoption. Article V provides for the establishment of the Code Authority and defines its powers and duties. Article VI provides for an accounting system and methods of cost finding and/or estimating. Article VII provides that no products shall be sold or exchanged below a reasonable cost when the Code Authority determines that an emergency exists.

Article XL This Supplemental Code and all the provisions thereof are expressly made subject to the right of the President in accordance with subsection (b) of Section 10 of the Act, from time to time to cancel or modify any order, approval, license, rule or regulation issued under said Act. Provision is also made that modi- fications may be submitted by the Code Authority. Article XII provides means for withdrawal of this Subdivision from the Basic Code and its continuance as an autonomous Code. Article XIII establislies that no provision of this Supplemental Code shall be so applied as to permit monopolies and monopolistic practices or to eliminate, oppress, or discriminate against small enterprises. Article XIV states the effective date of this Supplemental Code. FINDINGS The Assistant Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said Supplemental Code having found as herein set forth and on the basis of all the proceedings in this matter : I find that: (a) Said Code is well designed to promote the policies and pur- poses of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act, including removal of obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign com- merce 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 the trade groups, by induc- ing and maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate governmental sanctions and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible util- ization of the present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue restriction of production (except as may be temporarily re- quired), by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and re- lieving unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating industry. (b) Said Subdivision normally employs not more than 50,000 em- ployees; and is not clasified by me as a major industry. (c) The Code as approved complies in all respects with the perti- nent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limita- tion Subsection (a) of Section, 3, Subsection (a) of Section Y, and Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof; and that the applicant group is an industrial association truly representative of the aforesaid Sub- division ; and that said association imposes no inequitable restrictions on admission to membership therein. (d) The Codes 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 Supplemental Code. For these reasons, therefore, I have approved this Supplemental Code, provided that certain provisions relating to price publication are stayed. Respectfully, Hugh S. Johnson, A clminis trator.

The foregoing Section 1 shall not apply to (a) dropped lines, or (b) seconds, or (c) inventories which must be converted into cash to meet emergency needs, all of which may be disposed of by any employer at any price and on any terms or conditions, but only if such employer, not less than two weeks before such pro- posed disj^osal, has filed with Code Authority a statement in writ- ing setting forth the facts of, and reasons for, such proposed dis- posal and the price and terms and conditions of sale, and Code Authority has not, (with the approval of the Administrator), be- fore the termination of such two week period, in writing, disap- l^roved the proposed disposal. Notice of such disposal, if not dis- approved, shall be sent immediately to all employers manufacturing products of equivalent design, character, quality or specifications, who may sell (a) dropped lines, or (b) seconds, or (c) inventories which must be converted into cash to meet emergency needs, at prices and on terms and conditions as favorable as those stipulated in the proposed disposal. Section 3. The foregoing Section 1 shall not apply to a sale made in order to meet competition on products manufactured outside the United States. For such disposal, any employer may sell, at prices and on terms and conditions as favorable as those of the competing foreign product, but only if he has first reported to the Code Author- ity his intention so to sell, and the facts as to the competition which justifies such action. Article VIII — Price Lists (a) If and when Code Authority determines that in any group of the Subdivision it has been the generally recognized practice to sell a specified product on the basis of net price lists, or price lists with discount sheets, and fixed terms of sale and payment, each emploj^er engaged in the manufacture of such product shall, within ten (10) days 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 prod- uct, and Code Authority shall immediately publish and send copies thereof to all known employers who are cooperating under this Sup- plemental 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 may be filed from time to time thereafter with the Code Authority by any such employer, to become operative upon the date specified therein, but such revised price lists and/or discount sheets and/or terms of sale and payment shall be filed with a Code Au- thority ten (10) days in advance of the operative date. The Code Authority or the Group Code Authority may establish a shorter eeriod at any time provided no revisions waiting operative date shall e affected thereby. Copies thereof, with notice of the operative date specified, shall be immediately published and sent to all em- ployers cooperating under this Supplemental Code as described in Article V (d), any of whom may file, if he so desires, revisions of his price lists and/or discount sheets and/or terms of sale and payment, which shall become effective upon the date when the revised price list and/or discount sheet and/or terms of sale and payment first filed shall go into effect.^ (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 fixed terms of sale and payment, the distribution or marketing conditions in the gToup are the same as, or similar to, the distribution or marketing conditions in a group where the use of price lists, with or without discount sheets and fixed terms of sale and payment is well recognized, and ^ See paragraph 2 of order approving tbis Code. 10 that a system of selling on net price lists or price lists and discount sheets with fixed terms of sale and payment for such specified prod- uct should be put into effect in such group, then each employer in such group shall within twenty (^20) days after notice of such deter- mination, file with Code Authority net price lists or price lists and discount sheets, with fixed terms of sale and payment, showing his prices and discounts and terms of sale and payment, and such price lists and/or discount sheets and/or terms of sale and payment may be thereafter revised in the manner hereinbefore provided. Pro- vided that Code Authority shall make no determination to place any product of the Subdivision (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 66%% vote of employers who are at that time cooperating under this Supplemental Code as described in Article V (e), and are engaged in manufacturing such product. The eligibility requirements, methods, and effect of such voting shall be the same as is provided by Article V. (c) No employer shall sell directly or indirectly by any means whatsoever, any product of the Subdivision covered by provisions of this Article VIII at a price or at discounts or on terms of sale and payment, different from those provided in his own current net price lists, or price lists and discount sheets, and terms of sale and pay- ment, except as provided in Article VIl, Sections 2 and 3. Article IX — Trade Practices 1. No employer shall indulge in destructive price cutting. 2. No employer shall secretly, directly or indirectly, offer to make any payment or allowance of a rebate, refimd, commission, credit, unearned discount, or excess allowance, whether in the form of money or otherwise, nor shall an employer secretly offer or extend to any customer any special service or j^rivilege not extended to all customers of the same class, for the purpose of influencing a sale. 3. No employer shall publish advertising (whether printed, radio, display or of any other nature), which is misleading or inaccurate, in any material particular, nor shall any employer in any way misrepre- sent any goods (including, but without limitation, its use, trade naark, grade, quality, quantity, origin, size, substance, character, nature, finish, material, content, or preparation) or credit terms, values, policies, services, or the nature or form of the business conducted. 4. No employer shall publish or circulate unjustified or unwar- ranted threats of legal proceedings which tend to or have the effect of harassing competitors or intimidating their customers. 5. No employer shall give, permit to be given, or directly offer to give, anything of value for the purpose of influencing or reward- ing the action of any employee, agent or representative of another in relation to the business of the employer of such employee, the principal of such agent or the represented party, without the knowl- edge of such employer, principal or party. This provision shall not be construed to prohibit free and general distribution of articles commonly used for advertising except so far as such articles are actually used for commercial bribery as hereinabove defined. 11 Articxe X — ExroRT Trade No provision of this Code relating to prices or terms of selling, shipping or marketing, shall apply to export trade or sales or ship- ments for export trade. " Export Trade " shall be as defined in the Export Trade Act adopted April 10, 1918.

The eligibility require- ments, method and effect of such voting shall be the same as provided by Article V hereof. (c) This Supplemental Code shall terminate June 16, 1935, or on such date prior thereto when the Act shall be repealed or the Presi- dent shall, by proclamation, or the Congress shall, by joint resolution, direct that the emergency recognized by Section I of the Act has ended. Article XII — ^Withdrawal Upon thirty days notice to the Basic Code Authority and to the Administrator, this Subdivision may, upon the concurring affirma- tive vote of emploj^ers within the said Subdivision entitled to cast two-thirds or more of all the votes that might be cast by all em- ployers within the Subdivision entitled to vote thereon, withdraw from the jurisdiction of the Basic Code Authority. The eligibility of voters and the method and effect of such voting shall be in accord- ance with the provisions of Article V hereof. After and in the event such withdrawal is accomplished, this Supplemental Code together with the provisions of the Code shall become and be the sole Code governing this Subdivision and the Code Authority shall, for this Subdivision, become and be the sole Code Authority and shall per- form all the functions with respect thereto. Article XIII — Monopolies Applicant imposes and shall impose no inequitable restrictions on membership therein. The Supplemental Code presented by it is not designed to promote monopoly, and shall not be so construed or applied as to oppress or eliminate small enterprises or discriminate against them, and is designed to effectuate the policy of the Act.
