Hugh S. Johnson, Administrator for Industrial Recovery. Approval recommended : Geo. L. Berry, Division A dministrator. Washington, D.C., June 7, 193 % 65904° 657-53 34 (1) REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT The President, The White House. Sir : This is a report on Chapter XIV of the Code of Fair Com- petition for the Construction Industry, which Chapter is a revision, after a public hearing conducted in Washington on March 28, 1934, of a Code of Fair Competition for Insulation Contractors. This Chapter, applicable specifically to the Insulation Contractors' Division of the Construction Industry, supplements the basic Code of Fair Competition for the Construction Industry, described as Chapter I of such Code, which was approved by you on January 31, 1934. The hearings were conducted in accordance with the provi- sions of the National Recovery Act. The Industry The Insulation Contractors are a component and important part of the Construction Industry. Insulation is an important item in the construction of industrial plants and all types of buildings, in the insulation of pipes, boilers, tanks, ducts and other surfaces. Provisions for Hours and Wages The provisions for hours and wages are set out in Chapter I of the Construction Code, which was approved by you on January 31, 1934. The same provisions, with certain additions beneficial to em- ployees, are applicable, under this Chapter, to the Insulation Con- tractors' Division. Economic Effect of the Code The volume of work performed ranged from $34,796,000 in 1929 to $13,026,000 in 1933. The number of employees ranged from 7,573 in 1929 to 3,175 in 1933. It is safe to say, that with the prohibition of unfair trade practices, and with the establishment of minimum rates of pay and maximum hours of work that more wholesome conditions will take form in this industry, and that employers, em- ployees and a part of the public will be benefited. When the volume of work approaches normal the decrease in working hours and the establishment of a minimum rate of pay will increase the purchasing power of employees. Findings The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on Chapter XIV of the Code of Fair Competition for the Construction Industry, (2) as modified by the addition thereto of said Chapter XIV, having found as herein set forth and on the basis of all the proceedings in this matter : I find that: (a) Said Chapter XIV and said Code of Fair Competition for the Construction Industry, as modified by the addition thereto of said Chapter XIV, are well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act, includ- ing removal of obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which tend to diminish the amount thereof and will pro- vide for the general welfare by promoting the organization of indus- try 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 supervision, by eliminat- ing 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 tempo- rarily 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) Said Chapter XIV and the Code of Fair Competition for the Construction Industry as modified by the addition thereto of said Chapter XIV, as approved, comply in all respects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation sub-section (a) of Section 3, sub-section (a) of Section 7, and sub-section (b) oi Section 10 thereof; and that the applicant association is an industrial association truly representative of the aforesaid industry; and that said association imposes no inequitable restrictions on admission to membership therein. (d) Said Chapter XIV and the Code of Fair Competition for the Construction Industry as modified by the addition thereto of said Chapter XIV, are not designed to and will not permit monopo- lies or monopolistic practices. (e) Said Chapter XIV and the Code of Fair Competition for the Construction Industry as modified by the addition thereto of said Chapter XIV, 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 economic process have not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said Chapter XIV and of said Code as modified by the addition thereto of this Chapter XIV thereof. For these reasons, therefore, I have approved said Chapter XIV and said Code, as modified by the addition thereto of said Chapter XIV thereof. Respectfully, Hugh S. Johnson, Admi nis tra tor. June 7, 1934. Chapter XIV INSULATION CONTRACTORS DIVISION OF THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY Article I — Definitions Section 1.
