Hugh S. Johnson, Administrator for Industrial Recovery. Approval recommended : C. E. Adams, Division Administrator. Washington, D.C., July 30, 1934. 77105° 8^9-165 34 (1) REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT The President, The White House. Sir: The proposed Supplemental Code of Fair Competition for the Filing Supply Industry "was submitted to the Administrator on December 4, 1933 by a group of manufacturers engaged in the pro- duction of Filing Supplies, representing approximately 85% of the total known volume of the Members of the Industry engaged in the manufacture and national distribution of the products covered by said Code. A hearing was conducted in Washington on December 20, 1933. The Code was revised during the recess and is submitted in its present form for approval. Every person who requested an appear- ance was properly heard in accordance with statutory and regu- latory requirements. The Code of Fair Competition for the Filing Supply Industry is a supplement to the Code of Fair Competition for the Business Furniture, Storage Equipment and Filing Supply Industry, ap- proved on November 4, 1933, and its effect on labor and wages was, therefore, included in my report to you submitted with the proposed Code of Fair Competition for the Business Furniture, Storage Equipment and Filing Supply Industry under date of November 2, 1933. RESUME OF CODE Article I, Purposes, states the purpose of the Code. Article II, Definitions, accurately defines specific terms applicable to the Filing Supply Industry as used in this Code. Article III, Labor Provisions, adopts the Labor Provisions as set forth in Articles V, VI, VII and Exhibit A of the Code of Fair Competition of the Business Furniture, Storage Equipment and Filing Supply Industry, as approved on November 4, 1933, making specific reference to the inclusion of Section 7 (a) of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act, and further provides for a minimum wage rate of 4(ty per hour for male factory employees and 35£ per hour for female factory employees. Article IV, Organization, Powers and Duties of Code Committee, establishes a Code Authority of seven members to be selected by a fair method of election. It further provides that not more than three additional members, without vote, may be appointed by the Administrator for such terms as he may specify. This Article also sets forth the powers and duties of said Code Authority. Article V, Planning and Classification, provides that Members of the Industry shall make available samples of all Industry Products to a Planning and Classification Board and further provides that new stock items shall be classified by said Board before presenta- (2) tion to the general public. This Article, however, in no way restricts the manufacture of any Industry Product. Article VI, Discrimination, prevents discrimination between customers of the same class. Article VII, Marketing and Trade Practice Rules, sets forth trade practices for the Industry including an Open Price Association. Article VIII, Extras and Deductions Not Covered in Price Sched- ules, provides that Members of the Industry shall include in their ? rices all costs of additions to and deductions from variations of ndustry Products not covered in their Price Schedules. Article IX, Specials, prevents a manufacturer from pricing a special item in competition with a stock item at an unfair price for the purpose of evading his then currently effective Price Schedule. Article X, Price Increases, provides that the increase in selling prices shall be limited, in so far as possible, to actual increases in seller's costs. Article XI, Monopolies, provides that no provisions of the Code shall eliminate, oppress or discriminate against small enterprises. Article XII, Modification, makes all the provisions of the Code expressly subject to the right of the President to cancel or modify any order, approval, license, rule or regulation issued under Sub- section (b) of Section 10 of the Act. Article XIII, Termination, provides that the Code shall expire on June 16, 1935, or on the earliest date prior thereto on which the President or Congress shall by joint resolution declare the emergency recognized by Title I of the Act to be ended. The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said Supple- mental Code having found as herein set forth and on the basis of 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 and foreign commerce which tend to diminish the amount thereof and will provide for the general welfare by promoting the organiza- tion 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- vision, 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 consumption of industrial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating Industry. (b) Said Industry normally employs not more than 50,000 em- ployees, and is not classified 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 7, and subsection (b) of section 10 thereof, and that the applicant associa- tion is an industrial association truly representative cf the afore- said 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, this Code has been approved. Respectfully, Hugh S. Johnson, A dministrator. July 30, 1934.

Trade Practice Rules. — The following trade practices in addition to Exhibit B, are declared to constitute methods of un- fair competition between Members of the Industry, and no Member of the Industry shall use or engage in any of them, directly or in- directly, through any officer, agent or employee.
