REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: The Code Authority for the :Men's Clothing Industry submitted on March 14, 1934 and l\'lay 18, 1934 proposed amendments 

to the Code of Fair Competition for the Men's Clothing Industry. 

These amendments when submitted were presented to the Legal 

Division of the National Recovery Administration and received its 

approval. 

As these amendments were short and simple and consistent with 

the policies of the Administration, a Public Hearing was c0nsidered 

not necessary and in lieu of the Public Hearing, notices of Opportunity to be Heard were printed and distributed in the same manner 

as the Notice of Public Hearing. A specified date was set forth in 

such notices by which time objections and criticisms were to be received relative to these amendments. Up to and including the dates 

specified in such notices, no objections or criticisms were received. 

In their final form these amendments received the approval of the 

Industrial Advisory Board, the Labor Advisory Board, the Consumers' Advisory Board, and the Legal and Research and Planning 

Divisions of the National Recovery Administration. 

The first amendment provides that no member of the Men's 

Clothing Cod_e Authority shall be liable in any manner to a_nyone 

for any act of any other member, officer, agent, or employee of the 

Code Authority. The second amendment provides that the Code 

Authority may incorporate and be known as the Men's Clothing 

Code Authority, Incorporated. 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said 

amendments to said Code having found as herein set forth and on 

the basis of all the proceedings in this matter: 

I find that: 

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

well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of 

the N 2.tional 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 among trade groups, by inducing and 

maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate 

governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminatino- unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the 

present production capacity of industries, by avoiding undue restriction of production ( except as may be temporarily required), 

by increasing the consumption of industrial and a~icultural produ~ts through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving 

(21 
3 

unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwisei 

rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended 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. 

(c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to present the aforesaid amendments on behalf of the industry as a whole. 

( d) The amendments and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

( e) The amendments and the Code as amended 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 he heard prior to approval of said 

umendments. 

For the~e reasons, these amendments have been approved. 

Respectfully, 

AUGUST 13, 1934.
