such a clause. 

At the Hearing, the Code Authority recommended a change in the 

proposed amend1nent concerning the effective date thereof. Instead 

of March 1, they recommended that it be changed to a date to be

well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Tit]e I of 

the National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of 

obstructions to the free flow of intersfa.te and foreign commerce 

which tend to diminish the amount thereof2 and will provide for 

the general welfare by promoting the organization o:f industry for 

the purpose of cooperative action among trade groups, by inducing 

and maintaining united action of labor and management under 

adequate governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating 

nnfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding 

undue re. -triction of production ( except as may be temporarily 

req11ire<l) , by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricul-

(2) 
3 

tural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing 

and relieving unemployment, by improving tandards of labor, and 

by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all re ·pect with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation sub ection (a) of Section 3, subsection (a) of Section 7 and 

subsection (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 amendment and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

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

to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterpri e. · and will not

amendment. 

For these reasons, this amendment has been approved. 

Respectfully,
