CODE REVIVES LEATHER INDUSTRY.
An example of successful operation under a code
of fair competition is afforded by the leather in
dustry, which last year was described as having
suffered severely from the depression. In declaring
with evident pride that 'the achievements have
been eminently satisfactory,” a report to the Na
tional Recovery Administration from the Tanners'
Council of America lays claim to having “demon
strated a complete fulfillment of both the letter
and the spirit" of their code during a period of
6 months.
Factory employment alone, the report states, ■
stood at 50,082 at the end of February 1934, “or
slightly higher than the average for the year 1929.".
