the Code Authority for this Industry. A Notice of Opportunity to 

be Heard on the proposed amendment was published October 2, 1934, 

and no objections were received. 

Section (a) of Article 8 has been amended to provide for an alternate 

for each Industry Member of the Code Authority, and three instead 

of two Administration Members, one of whorn may be appointed on 

the nomination of the Labor Advisory Board. In addition the 

amendment provides that the Board of Directors of the Corset and 

Brassiere Association shall elect the Industry Members, together with 

an alternate for each, subject to the approval of the National Industrial 

Recovery Board. The Code as approved provides that the Industry 

1'1embers of the Code Authority shall be a.ppointed by the president 

of the Association.

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

basis of all proceedings in this matter:

(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 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 amendment on behalf of the Industry as a whole. 

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

to and will not perm.it monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(2)

(e) The amendment and the Code as amendei 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 

amendment. 

For these reasons, this amendment has been approved.
