The code also provides for equitable readjustments in all pay schedules in line with the spirit of the blanket code and carries the statutory provisions relating to collective bargain¬ ing. A section on trade practices bans "rate chiseling", "song plugging", disparagement of competitors, false cover?, ge claims, and lotteries. The National Association of Broadcasters is designated as the supervisory agency under the code. It is es tigfated that compliance with the code will result in the employment of 720 additional employees, or an increase of 6.5 per cent over the number regularly employed as of July 29, 1933. The total employment would be 3.2 per cent above that of any previous year in the industry's history. Exclusive of equitable readjustments, the amount added to pay¬ rolls would exceed $>1,000,000, representing a gain of 4.8 per cent when compared with present payrolls. According to surveys conducted by the Association, there are now approximately 11,000 persons regularly employed in the industry, exclusive of special talent, and the annual payroll is around $20,900,000.
