REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Sm : This is a report on an amendment to the Code of Fair 

Competition for the Academic Costume Industry. 

Article V was amended by deleting paragraph (a) of Section 1 

and substituting a new paragraph therefor, making payment of 

assessments mandatory on members of the industry. 

An opportunity to be heard will be afforded all in~rested parties 

and all objections will be carefully considered by the National 

Industrial Recovery Board. The National Industrial Recovery 

Board has carefully considered the reports of the Industrial Advisory 

Board, Labor Advisory Board, Consumers' Ad vi1sory Board, Research and Plannil_lg Division and the Legal Division of the National 

Recovery Administration, which were made on this amendment. 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to the National 

Industrial Recovery Board on said amendment to said Code, having 

found as herein set forth and on the basis of all the proceedings in 

this ma~r: 

It finds that: 

(a) The amendment 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 

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 provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation Sub-section (a) of Section 3, Sub-section (a) of Section 7 

and Sub-section (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

( c) The amendment and the Code, as amended, are not designed to 

and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

( d) The amendment and the Code, as amended, are not designed 

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

operate to discriminate against them. 

( ) Tho e en gag d in other steps of the economic proc s have 

not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to eff tiv dat of 

c•aid am ndment.
