REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The rVhite House. 

Sm: This is a report on two amendments to the Code of Fair Competition for the Canva-s Stitched Belt Manufacturing Industry. The 

amendments which are attached were presented by the Code Authority for the Canvas Stitched Belt Manufacturing Industry. 

Notice of opportunity to be heard was given all interested parties, 

and no objections were received. 

One amendment revises the definition of the term " Industry " to 

include the Balata Belt Manufacturing Industry and the other specifies that the weight per conlffiercial yard of cotton duck must be 

stated in billing or quoting the price of any standard competitive 

grade of canvas stitched belting. 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report on said amendments 

to said Code having found as herein set forth and on the basis of 

all proceedings in this matter; 

The National Industrial Recovery Board finds that: 

(a) The amendments to said Code and the Code as amended are 

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

National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of ob tructions 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 lab.or, and by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitatjC'n Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and 

Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

(c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to present the aforesaid amendments on behalf of the Industry as a whole. 

(d) The amendments and the Code as amended are not designed to 

and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(e) The amendments and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. 

(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 

amendments. 

For the abo' e reasons the e amendments have been approved. 

For the National Inclu trial Recovery Board:
