REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The lVhite House. 

Srn: This is a report on the Order approving the Code of Fair 

Competition :for the Steel Casting Industry as the Code o:f Fair Competition :for the Manganese Steel Casting Subdivision of said Industry, and amending the definition of the tenn "Industry" in the 

Steel Casting Code. 

A Notice of Opportunity to be H eard has been published to all 

interested parties, and unless due cause to the contrary is shown 

and I is ue subsequent order to that effect, this Order shall take effect 

ten days after date hereof. 

The term 'manganese steel castings" means that group of steel 

castings commonly known in the trade under that name and having a 

n~anganese content of not less than ten percent. 

It is my opinion that these are kindred industries and the Manganese Steel Casting Group should properly be a subdivision under 

the approved Code of Fair Competition for the Steel Casting 

Industry. The Assistant Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on 

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

the proceedings in this matter; 

I find that: 

(a) Said Code is well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act, including 

removal o:f 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 among the trade groups, 

by inducing and maintaining united action of labor and management 

under adequate governmental sanctions 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 o:f labor, and 

by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

( b) Said Industry normally employs not more than 50,000 employees; and is not classified by me as a major industry. 

( c) The Code as approved complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions 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; and that the applicant group 

is an industrial group truly representativ~ of the aforesaid Industry; 

(3) 
4 

and that said group imposes no inequitable restrictions on admission to m"'mbership therein. 

( d) The Code is not designed to and will not permit monopolies 

or monopolistic practices. 

( e) The Code is not designed to and will not eliminate or oppress 

small enterprises a.nd will not operate to discriminate against them. 

( f) Tho e engaged in other steps of the economic process have 

not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

Code. 

For these reasons, therefore, I have approved this Order. 

Respectfully, 

SEPTEMBER 14, 1934.
