Excerpt from Code of Fair Competition for the American Glassware Industry as Approved on January 16, 1934 This Industry is intimately related to the Glass Container Indus try and a number of plants have their production divided between these two Codes. For that reason the hour and wage provisions of this Code have been made to conform with the hour and wage pro visions of the Glass Container Code. The maximum hours permitted under this Code are forty (40) hours per week, as averaged over a period of thirteen (13) weeks, provided, however, that in no case shall any employee be permitted to work in excess of forty-eight (48) hours during any one week. For clerical and office employees a maximum is permitted Of forty (40) hours per week averaged over each four (4) weeks' period and not in excess Of forty-eight (48) hours in any one week. The minimum wage is forty cents per hour, unless the hourly rate for the same class of work on July 15, 1929, was less than forty cents (4095) per hour, in which case the minimum wage Shall be not less than the wages paid in July 1929, and in no case less than thirty cents per hour. The outlets for the products of this Industry are wholesalers, job bers, retailers, and various manufacturers Of other products who use glass in the fabrication of their commodities, including the manu facture of storage batteries, Signal devices, artificial illuminating equipment, etc. The exports to foreign markets are small com pared with the total volume of business. The demand for glass products is fairly uniform throughout the year, due to the wide uses to which glass has been put. Due to the fact that the American Glassware Industry is SO interwoven with other industries throughout the country, an upturn in general busi ness conditions Should be reflected favorably in this Industry.
