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

National 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 of labor and management under adequate 

govermental sanction and supervision by eliminating competitive 

practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the present 

productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue restrictions 

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 modified 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 Modification and the Code as modified are not designed to 

and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(d) The Modification and the Code as modified are not designed to 

and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. · (e) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have 

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

Modification. 

(2) 
3 

For these reasons, these Modifications have been approved by me, 

3ubject, however, to a ten day waiting period as provided ~n the 

Order of Approval. 

Respectfully,
