Abstract

Deteriorating economic conditions in the 1930s in Czechoslovakia resulted in the increased level of state intervention in industry. State intervention with the onset of the economic crisis abounded in glass production.

Regulatory function in the glass industry had mostly cartels. In 1933 was approved by the Cartel Act, which restricted the state of the original contractual freedom of the individual operators.

In the glass, where he worked many companies formed cartels very difficult. Therefore, there Czechoslovak government in 1935 joined the other way concentration of production, forced unionisation.

Due to the economic crisis remained a part of the production capacity of glass factories idle. During the year 1934, in the glass industry announced numerus clausus, which greatly tied off the glass creation and expansion of businesses.
