REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: Thi i a report on an amendment to the Supplementary 

Code of Fair Competition for the Wood Floor Contracting Division of the Construction Industry, which was approved by you on 

May 29, 1934. 

Thi change in Section 1 of Article VI of the Code of Fair Competition for the Wood Floor Contracting Division will enable the 

Code Authority to assess all contracts amounting to one hundred 

dollars ($100.00) or more. As approximately one-fourth of the dollar volume done by members of thi Industry is in contract units 

of less than five hundred dollars ($500.00), it is necessary that the 

Code Authority be empowered to asse s contracts of the smaller 

amount in order that sufficient funds be obtained to administer the 

Code. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report on said amendment 

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

all the proceedings in this matter : 

The Board finds that : 

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

well de igned to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of 

the National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of obtructions 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 supervi ion, 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 increa ing 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 aid Act, including without limitation subsection (a.) of Section 3, subsection (a) of Section 7 and 

sub ection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

(c) The Code empowers the Divisional 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 permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(2) 
3 

(e) The amendment and the Code a amended are not designed 

to and will not eliminate or oppr mall enterpri es and will not 

operate to eli ·criminate again t them. 

(f) Those engaged in other step of the economic proce shave not 

been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of aid 

amendment. 

For these reasons, therefore, the National Industrial Recovery 

Board has approved said amendment to the Wood Floor Contracting 

Chapter of the Code of Fair Competition of the Construction 

Industry. For the National Industrial Recovery Board:
