to diminish the amount thereof; and will provide for the general 

welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the p"tJ.rpose 

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 tlie pertinent provision 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.
