"(c) The industry committee shall recommend such reasonable clas-
sifications within any industry as it determines to be necessary for the
purpose of fixing for each classification within such industry the
highest minimum wage rate (not in excess of that prescribed in para-
graph (1) of section 6 (a)) which (1) will not substantially curtail
employment in such classification and (2) will not give a competitive
advantage to any group in the industry, and shall recommend for each
classification in the industry the highest minimum wage rate which the
committee determines will not substantially curtail employment in
such classification. In determining whether such classifications should
be made in any industry, in making such classifications, and in deter-
mining the minimum wage rates for such classifications, no classifica-
tions shall be made, and no minimum wage rate shall be fixed, solely
on a regional basis, but the industry committee and the Administrator
shall consider among other relevant factors the following:
"(1) competitive conditions as affected by transportation,
living, and production costs;
"(2) the wages established for work of like or comparable char-
acter by collective labor agreements negotiated between employers
and employees by representatives of their own choosing; and
"(3) the wages paid for work of like or comparable character
by employers who voluntarily maintain minimum wage standards
in the industry.
No classification shall be made under this section on the basis of age or
sex.
"(d) The industry committee shall file with the Administrator a
report containing its recommendations with respect to the matters
referred to it. Upon the filing of such report, the Administrator, after
due notice to interested persons, and giving them an opportunity to be
heard, shall by order approve and carry into effect the recommenda-
tions contained in such report, if he finds that the recommendations
are made in accordance with law, are supported by the evidence
adduced at the hearing, and, taking into consideration the same factors
as are required to be considered by the industry committee, will carry
out the purposes of this section; otherwise he shall disapprove such
recommendations. If the Administrator disapproves such recommen-
dations, he shall again refer the matter to such committee, or to another
industry committee for such industry (which he may appoint for such
purpose), for further consideration and recommendations.
" (e) Orders issued under this section shall define the industries and
classifications therein to which they are to apply, and shall contain such
terms and conditions as the Administrator finds necessary to carry out
the purposes of such orders, to prevent the circumvention or evasion
thereof, and to safeguard the minimum wage rates established therein.
No such order shall take effect until after due notice is given of the issu-
ance thereof by publication in the Federal Register and by such other
means as the Administrator deems reasonably calculated to give to
interested persons general notice of such issuance.
"(f) Due notice of any hearing provided for in this section shall be
given by publication in the Federal Register and by such other means
as the Administrator deems reasonably calculated to give general notice
to interested persons."
