Srn: This is a report on a modification of the Code of Fair Competition for the Builders Supplies Trade Industry, in accordance 

with Admini trative Order X-36, of May 26, 1934, relative to collection of Expenses of Code Admini tration. 

This amendment is proposed in sub titution for Article VII, Paragraphs one, two and three of the Builders Supplies Trade Indu try 

Code, approved October 3, 1933. An opportunity to be heard has 

been accorded to all interested parties. 

The Assistant Deputy Administrator 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 am·endment 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 managem·ent under adequate governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating nnfa.ir competitive 

practices, by promoting the fullest po sible utilization of the present 

productive capacity of industrie , by avoidino· undue restriction of 

production (except as may be temporarily required), by increasing 

the consumption of industrial an agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving tmemployment, 

by improving• standards of labor, aud by otherwise rehabilitating 

industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all r espects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation sub-section (a) of Section 3, sub-section (a) o£ Section 7 and 

sub-section (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 an1endment and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(e) The amendment and the Code as amend d are not de igned 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 

runendment. 

Said amendment is accordingly approved. 

Respectfully, 

JULY 27, 1934.
