REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Sm: An application has been duly made pursuant to and in full 

compliance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery 

Act, for an amendment to the Code 0£ Fair Competition for the 

Manganese Industry, submitted by the Code Authority for the said 

Industry. 

The existing provisions of Section 3 of Article III of the Code of 

Fair Competition for the Manganese Industry have been found to be 

inadequate, in that the operations in this Industry require the employment of hoist me.n, powerhouse men and pump men for longer periods 

than ordinary workers. 

FHmINGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to us on said amendment to said Code having found as herein set forth and on the basis 

of all the proceedings in this matter : 

We find that: 

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

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 including 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 te1nporarily required), by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products 

through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving st~ndards of labor, and by otherwise 

rehabilitatin~g industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the pertinent _provision of said Title of said Act, including without limitation 

sub-Section (a) of Section 3, sub-Section (a) of Section 7 and subSection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

( c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to pre ent the aforesaid amendment on behalf of the Industry as a whole. 

( d) The amendment and the Code as amended are not d igned to 

and will not permit monopolie or monopolistic practic s. 

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

and will not eliminate or oppress mall enterpri e and will not operate to discriminate against them. 

(2) 
3 

(f) Those engaged in other tep of the economic process have 

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

amendment. 

For the e rea ons, therefore, we ha, e approved thi amendment. 

For the ational Indu trial RecoYer Board:
