Sir : This is a report on the Supplementary Code of Fair Competi- tion for the Prison Equipment Manufacturing Industry, a division of the Fabricated Metal Products Manufacturing and Metal Finish- ing and Metal Coating Industry, the hearing having been conducted thereon in Washington, D. C, June 5, 1934, in accordance with the provisions of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act. GENERAL STATEMENT The Prison Equipment Manufacturing Industry being truly repre- sentative of this division of the Fabricated Metal Products Manu- facturing and Metal Finishing and Metal Coating Industry, has elected to avail itself of the option of submitting a Supplementary Code of Fair Competition, as provided for in Section 1 of Article VI of the Basic Code, for the Fabricated Metal Products Manufacturing and Metal Finishing and Metal Coating Industry approved by you on the second day of November, 1933. RESUME OF THE CODE Article I states the purpose of the Supplementary Code. Article II accurately defines specific terms employed in the Supple- mentary Code. Article III. This Industry is a division of the Fabricated Metal Products Manufacturing and Metal Finishing and Metal Coating Industry and the labor provisions of its Basic Code, as approved November 2, 1933, are the labor provisions of this Supplementary Code. Article IV establishes a Supplementary Code Authority consist- ing of five (5) members to be elected by the members of the Industry at a meeting called by the Temporary Supplementary Code Author- ity, and gives the Administrator the authority to appoint one addi- tional member without vote and provides machinery for obtaining statistics and the administration of the Supplementary Code. Article V provides for an accounting system and methods of cost finding and/or estimating. Article VI covers the selling below cost provisions but does not prohibit sales below cost to meet competition. Article VII sets forth the unfair trade practices of this Supple- mentary Code w^hich has been especially designed to offset unfair competition in this division of the Industry. Article VIII provides for bidding practices. Article IX provides against monopolies and monopolistic practices. (2) Article X contains the mandatory provisions contained in Sec- tion 10 (b) and also i:>rovides for the submission of proposed amend- ments to the Siii)i)lenientary Code. Article XI, recognizes that price increases be limited to actual addi- tional increases in the seller's cost. Article XII states the effective date and duration of this Supple- mentary Code. FINDINGS The Assistant Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said Supplementary Code having found as herein set forth and on the basis of all the proceedings in this matter : I find that: (a) Said Supplementary 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 Supplementary 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 is an industrial Association truly representa- tive of the aforesaid Industry; and that said A&sociation imposes no inequitable restrictions on admission to membership therein. (d) The Sup])lementary Code is not designed to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. (e) The Supplementary Code is not designed to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not operate to dis- criminate 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 Supplementary Code. For these reasons, therefore, I have approved this Supplementary Code. Respectfully, Hugh S. Johnson, Adimnisti'ator. July 5, 1934.

Article V — Accounting, Costing and Estimating Section 1. The Supplementary Code Authority shall cause to be formulated an accounting system and methods of cost finding and/or estimating capable of use by all members of the Industry. After such system and methods have been formulated and approved by the Administrator full details concerning them shall be made avail- able to all members of the Industry. Thereafter all members of the Industry shall determine and/or estimate costs in accordance with the principles of such methods. Section 2. When the Administrator determines that an emergency exists in this Industry and that the cause thereof is destructive price cutting, such as to render ineffective or seriously endanger the mainte- nance of the provisions of this Supplementary Code, the Supple- mentary Code Authority may cause to be determined the lowest rea- sonable cost of the products of this Industry, such determination to be subject to such notice and hearing as the Administrator may re- quire. The Administrator may approve, disapprove, or modify the determination. Thereafter, during the period of the emergency, it shall be an unfair trade practice for any member '^f the Industry to sell or offer to sell any product of the Industry for which the lowest reasonable cost has been determined, at such prices or upon such terms or conditions of sale that the buyer will pay less therefor than the lowest reasonable cost of such products. 10 * When it appears that conditions have changed, the Supplementary Code Authority or the Administrator, upon its or his own initiative, or upon the request of any interested party, may cause the determination to be reviewed. Article VI — Selling Below Cost No member of this Industry shall sell or exchange or offer to sell or exchange any products of this Industry at a price or upon terms and conditions, which will result in the purchaser paying for the goods received, less than the cost thereof to the seller, determined in accordance with a uniform method of costing and/or estimating above described in Article V; provided, further, however, that a member of the Industry may sell below his own cost to meet competi- tion from products of equivalent design, quality, or specifications, provided the competitor is not violating this Supplementary Code, and provided that when a member of the Industry sells, or wishes to sell, below his own cost to meet such competition, he shall so report to the Supplementary Code Authority and shall cite the competition which caused him to take this action. Article VII — Unfair Trade Practices In addition to the Unfair Trade Practices covered by Article V of the Basic Code except Section A, B, F and G thereof as though herein repeated and set forth at length, and for all purposes of this Supplementary Code, the following described acts shall constitute unfair practices. Any member of the Industry who shall directly or indirectly through any officer, employee, agent or representative use or employ any of such unfair practices shall be guilty of a violation of this Supplementary Code. Rule 1. False Advertising. — No member of the Industry shall publish advertising (whether printed, radio, display or of any other nature), which is misleading or false in any material particular, nor shall any member orally or in any other way misrepresent any goods (including but without limitation its use, 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. Rule 2. Secret Rehates. — No member of the Industry shall se- cretly offer or make to any customer and/or customer's agent any payment or allowance of a rebate, refund, commission, credit, un- earned discount or excess allowance, whether in the form of money or otherwise, nor shall a member of the Industry secretly offer or extend to any customer any special service or privilege not extended to all customers of the same class, for the purposes of influencing a sale. Rule 3. Alternate Proposals. — No member of the Industry shall submit an alternate and/or revised proposal unless the privilege of alternate and/or revised proposals is extended to all bidders who have qualified and who have fully complied with all plan, specifica- tion and bidding requirements at the time of opening the bids. Rule 4. Substitution of Materials. — No member of the Industry shall depart from the i)lans and/or siDecifications, for the purpose 11 and/or with the effect of misleading the buyer as to the grade, quality, or quantity of products offered or sold, or by the quotation of any substitute material without clearly identifying the nature of such substitute material. Rule 5. Credit Terms. — No member of the Industry shall fail to charge the legal rate of interest on all delinquent accounts and balances. Article VIII — Bidding Practices Section 1. It shall be the policy of members of the Industry to bid directly to Federal and State Governments and Governmental Sub-divisions thereof on all purchases and/or installations of Industry products. Section 2.

Article IX — Monopolies No provision of this Supplementary Code shall be so applied as to permit monopolies or monopolistic practices, or to eliminate, oppress or discriminate against small enterprises. Article X — Modifications Section 1. As provided in Sub-section (b) of Section 10 of the Act, the President may from time to time cancel or modify any order, approval, license, rule or regulation issued under Title I of said Act. Section 2.

Article XI — Price Increases AVliereas the policy of the Act to increase real purchasing power will be made more difficult of consummation if prices of goods and services increase as rapidly as wages, it is recognized that price increases except such as may be required to meet individual costs should be delayed, and when made, such increases should, so far as possible, be limited to actual additional increases in the seller's costs. 12 Article XII — Effective Date and Durattott This Supplementary Code shall become effective at 12:01 o'clock A.M., Eastern Standard Time, on the tenth day after it is approved by the President and shall continue in effect until June 16, 1935, or the earliest date prior thereto on which the President shall, by procla- mation, or the Congress shall, by joint resolution declare that the emergency recognized by Section I of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act, has ended.
