REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

THE PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Sm : This is a report on the proposed modification for the Code of 

Fair Competition for the Graphic Arts Industries as approved by 

you on February 17, 1934. A Notice of Opportunity to be I-Ieard 

was issued on July 7, 1934, and full opportunity was given to all 

interested parties to file criticisms of, objections to or suggestions 

concerning said modification. 

• The proposed modification consists of a substitution in the trade 

practice provisions set forth in the form of an Appendix to the Code. 

The proposed modification does not in any way affect the labor 

provisions of the Graphic Arts Code. 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said modification to said Code ha vin~ found as herein set forth and on the 

basis of all the proceedings 1n this matter: 

I find that: 

(a) The modification to said Code and the Code as modified are 

well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of 

the National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of 

obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce 

which tend to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for 

the general welfare by promoting the organization of industry for 

the purpose of cooperative action of labor and management under 

adequate governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating 

unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding 

undue restriction of production ( except as may be temporarily 

required), by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing 

and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and 

by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the pertinent provision of said Title of said Act, including without limitation 

uh-section (a) of Section 3, sub-section (a) of Section 7 and subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

( c) The National Graphic Arts Co-ordinating Committee was 

and is the highest governing body of the Graphic Arts Code and 

truly r epresentative of the aforesaid industry, and has applied for 

this modification. 

( d) The modification and the Co le as modified are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

( e ) The mo lification and the Code as mo<lifie l are not de igned 

to and will n t liminate or oppr mall enterprises and will not 

operate to di riminate against them. 

(2) 
3 

( f) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have 

not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

modification. 

I believe the modification to be fair to the consumer and to the 

industry, and for these reasons, therefore, I appro e this modification. 

Respectfully, 

AUGUST 29, 1934. 

HUGH s. JOHNSON, 

Administrator. 
1vIODIFICATIO TO CODE OF FAIR COl\fPETITION FOR 

THE GRAPHIC ARTS INDUSTRIES

Discount " under Item No. 4, Appendix of I ndustry No. A-4, Graphic
