REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Sm: This is a report on a modification of Section 3 Article III, 

of the Supplementary Code of Fair Competition of the Electrical 

Contracting. Division of the Construction Industry, approved by 

you on April19, 1934. 

The purpose of this amendment is to authorize the Divisional 

Code Authority to submit a budget and establish a basis of assessment upon which members of this Division will be required to contribute to the expense of maintaining the Divisional Code Authority. 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said modification of 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 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 modified complies in ~ll 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 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. 

(e) The modification and the Code as modified 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 modification has been approved. 

Respectfully, 

JULY 23, 1934.
