The White House. 

Sm: I have the honor to submit herewith an amendment to the 

Code of Fair Competition for the Ma,chined Waste l\1anufacturing

of the costs of administering a Code of Fair Competition mandatory 

upon all members of the Industry, is included.

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 among trade groups, by inducing 

and maintaining united 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 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 Authority is empowered 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 monopol~es or monopolistic practices. 

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

and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not operate io discriminate against them. 

(f) Tnose engaged. in other steps of the economic process have not 

been deprived of the ri-ght to be heard prior to approval of said 

amendment. 

For the above reasons this amendment has been a:l>proved by me. 

Respectfully, 

MAY 26, 1934. 

HUGH s.. JOHNSON'
