Excerpt from Code of Fair Competition for the Bituminous Coal Industry: As Approved by President Roosevelt in Executive Orders of September 18, 1933, and September 29, 1933, Incorporating So Far as Possible the Conditions of the Executive Orders in the Text of the Code
With the wage bill constituting 60 65 percent of the total cost of production and wages practically the only flexible item in costs, the result has been that the burden of declining prices has fallen in greatest force on the wage earners. Thus, the coal industry was an economic sore-spot for at least five years before the collapse in 1929.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an executive order that approves a code of fair competition for the bituminous coal industry. The order includes provisions for minimum wages, maximum hours, and other working conditions in the industry. It also establishes a code authority to administer the code and to investigate complaints of unfair practices. The order is significant because it was one of the first examples of government regulation of an industry under the National Industrial Recovery Act. The book provides valuable insights into the history of labor relations and government regulation in the United States. The author argues that the code was successful in stabilizing the industry and improving working conditions for miners.
