REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The W kite House. 

Srn: Under the Code o:f Fair Competition :for the Clay and Shale 

Roofing Tile Industry, as approved on April 6, 1934, the Code Authority has submitted a modification to Article VI, Sections 8, 8-A, 

and 8-B, designed to empower the Code Authority to collect assessments :from all members of the Industry to provide for the expenses 

of administering the Code. Under this modification, payment of 

such assessments will not be mandatory until the Code Authority has 

submitted and has had approved by the Administrator, a budget and 

plan of assessment. A provision of the modification forbids the 

Code Authority :from making expenditures in excess of their approved budget. These provisions replace the :former provisions for 

supporting the Code Authority through voluntary payments. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said 

modification 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 modification of 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 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. 

The Code as modified 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 subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

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

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

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(2) 
3 

( e) The modification and the Code as modified are not designed 

to and will not eliminate or oppress s1nall 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 

modification. 

For these reasons, therefore, I have approved this modification. 

Respectfully, 

JULY 17, 1934. 

HUGH s. JOHNSON' 

Administrator.
