2. Effect of Tolerances, .peck Teriod provisions. various
 differentials.

 There were no tolerances or differentials provided for in this
 Code. The West and South were desirous of them but the provision
 was not included and industry, taking it as a whole, set their face
 against them. Reference is made to Exhibits V and W to illustrate
 reasons and position taken by the Code Authority.

 3. Industry Comnliance

 Reference to compliance data gathered by Colonel Walter Mangum
and the Compliance statistics of the Code Authority contained in
Exhibit F and also those in Exhibit R shows tlpt compliance with hours
was uniformly high. Labor was insistent that the hour provisions
should be amended wishing to reduce them to 30, but that of course was
consistent with their position in all of these industries and was felt
not to be sound. At any rate nothing ever came from the demand. My
own feeling was and is, that such a step would have been disruptive
and would have defeated the purpose of putting more people at work,
for I do not believe industry could have adjusted itself to such a
radical change. After all it ws a step forward to bring about the
reduction that was made, and one needs time to absorb what is involved
even in a first step.

 4. Mal-Adjurtment with Other Industries

 There was no mal-adjustment with respect to hours.

 5. Posting of Hours provisions

 Labor provisions were posted as noted in paragraph B, section 6
of this chapter.

 6. Insignia

 N.R.A. insignia was used &s noted in Section 7, Paragraph B of
this Chapter.


D. OTHER LABOR PROVISIONS

 1. Child Labor

 With the exception of one group in Massachusetts and one having
their products made in the home, child labor was unknown in the
industry, before or since the Code. In the first group located in
Haverhill, Massachusetts a rather shocking situation came to light,
and it is doubtful that but for the Code, any but local officials would
have ever known of its existence. This group hit upon the idea of
manufacturing a type of bag made by weaving strips of leather. They
were Greeks and the heads of each family lived by their wives' and
children' sweat, This was storied by the Code Authority. (See Exhibit
G, Po 225., paragraphs 1 and 2 also Exhibit X). Since child labor is a
constituent part of Home Work the discussion of the second group is
carried on in the following section.
