REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRE~IDJ!!NT, 

The vV hite H oiise. 

Sm : This is a report on the proposed amendment to the Code o:f 

Fair Competition for the Graphic Arts Industries as approved by 

you on February 17, 1934. The proposed amendment is to be added 

to Article I, Section 3 ( e) of the Code. It was noticed for opportunity to be heard on June 30, 1934. No criticisms of, objections to 

or suggestions concerning thi modification were submitted to the 

Administration within the time limit allowed by the notice of opportunity to be heard, which expfred on July 13, 1934. 

The amendment gives the Code Authorities under the Graphic 

Arts Code the power to collect a~sessments, and makes it a violation 

of the Code for an establishment to fail to pay such assess1nents when 

the budget and basis of contribution of a Code Authority has been 

approved by the Administrator. 

The proposed amendment does not in any way affect the labor 

prD-vi ions of the Graphic Arts Code. 

The Deputy Adnrinistrator in his final report to me on said amendment to said Code having found as herein set forth and on the basis 

of all the proceedings in this matter: 

I find that: 

{a) The amendment to said Code and the Code as amended are 

well designed to promote the policies and purpose oi Title I of thB 

National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign comn1erce 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 a~tion of labor and m.anagement -under adequate governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the 

pre ent productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue re tricticm of production ( except as may be temporarily required), by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products 

through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and r lieving unemploy1nent, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise 

rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all re p ts with t-he pertin ent provision of aid Title of aid Act, includino· without limitation 

sub- ection (a) vf Section 3, ub- ection (a) of ection 7 an l uhsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

( ) The ational Graphic Arts oordinating Committe wa · and 

is the hio-he t O'OV rning body of the Graphi rt od and truly 

r epr ntative of the afore 9.id indu try, and ha applied for this 

amendment. 

(2) 

•

( d) The amendm nt and the Code as am nded are not de igned 

to and will not permit monopoli or monopoli tic practice . ( e) Th amendmen and the ode a amen de l are not de i!rn.ed 

to and will not elimina or oppre mall enterpri es and will not 

op rate to 1 · criminate ao-ain h m. 

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

not been cl prived f the rio-ht to be -heard prior to approval o:£ aid 

amendment. I belie-ve the amendment to be :fair to labor, to the consumer, and 

to the indu try and :for these reasons, therefore, I approve this 

amendment.
