(7) While the exception of cleaners and outside workers is ap proved for the present, it is on condition that the Planning and Supervisory Committee provided by Section 6 prepare and submit to the Administration, by January 1, 1934, a schedule of minimum wages and of maximum hours for these classes. (8) It is interpreted that the provisions for maximum hours establish a maximum of hours of labor per week for every employee covered, so that under no circumstances will such an employee be employed or permitted to work for one or more employers in the industry in the aggregate in excess of the prescribed number of hours in a single week. (9) It is interpreted that the provisions for a minimum wage in this code establish a guaranteed minimum rate of pay per hour of employment regardless of whether the employee's compensation is otherwise based on a time rate or upon a piece work performance. This is to avoid frustration of the purpose of the code by changing from hour to piece-work rules. - (10) Until adoption of further provisions of this Code necessary to prevent any improper speeding up of work to the disadvantage of employees (“stretch-outs”) and in a manner destructive of the purposes of the National Industrial Recovery Act, it is required that any and all increases in the amount of work or production required of employees over that required on July 1, 1933, must be submitted to and approved by the agency created by section six of the code and by the administration and if not so submitted such increases will be regarded as a prima facie violation of the provision for minimum WageS. (ii) The code will be in operation as to the whole industry but, opportunity shall be given for administrative consideration of every application of the code in particular instances to any person directly affected who has not in person or by a representative consented and agreed to the terms of the code. Any such person shall be given an opportunity for a hearing before, the Administrator or his repre: sentative, and for a stay of the application to him of any provision of the code, prior to incurring any liability to the enforcement of the code against him by any of the means provided in the National Industrial Recovery Act, pending such hearing. At such hearing any objection to the application of the code in the specific circum stances may be presented and will be heard. - - (12) This approval is limited to a four months' period with the right to ask for a modification at any time and subject to a request for renewal for another four months at any time before its expiration. - - - - (13). Section 6 of the Code is approved on condition that the Administration be permitted to name three members of the ºf and Supervisory Committee of the industry. Such members shal have no vote but in all other respects shall be members of such Planning and Supervisory Committee. FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.
