REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

SrR: The Public Hearing on a proposed amendment to the Code of 

Fair Competition for the Men's Neckwear Industry was conducted on 

Thursday, May lOth in Room 109 of the Raleigh Hotel, Washington.] 

D.C. Present at the hearing were members and duly authorized 

representatives of the Men's Neckwear Code Authority, as well as 

representatives of individual members of the Men's Neckwear Industry who had requested opportunity to be heard on the proposed 

amendment. All those present were fairly heard in accordance with 

the usual requirements of the National Recovery Administration 

and were questioned by the Deputy Administrator and his advisors. 

The Code for the Men's Neckwear Industry as approved on March 

24, 1934, did not contain a provision requiring that a special N.R.A. 

label be attached to the products of the Industry as the majority 

of other Codes in the Apparel Trades have required. 

The Code Authority for the Men's Neckwear Industry on April 

14th recommended to the Administrator that the Men's Neckwear 

Code be amended to require that a special N.R.A. label be attached 

to all products manufactured subject to the jurisdiction of the Men's 

Neckwear Code. 

Briefly stated, this amendment provides that the special N .R.A. 

label, which is to be issued exclusively by the Code Authority, shall 

symbolize to purchasers of men's neckwear, the conditions under 

which such merchandise is manufactured. Subject to the approval 

of the Administrator, the Code Authority is empowered to establish 

rules and regulations and appropriate machinery for the issuance of 

labels and for the inspection, examination and supervision of the 

practices of employers using such labels. 

Each label is to bear a registration number which will enable the 

Code Authority to identify the source of manufacture of all products of the Industry. The charge made by the Code Authority 

for such labels is made subject to the supervision and rules and 

regulations of the Administrator. 

According to the testimony presented at the Public Hearing by 

the representatives of the Code Authority, the use of a special Code 

Authority label is the most effective means known of securing compliance with the provisions of the Codes of Fair Competition in the 

Apparel :Manufacturing Trades. Not only does the use of the label 

and the issuance thereof by the Code Authority serve as a means of 

bringing the existence and location of all members of the Industry 

to the attention of the Code Authority; the use of the label also 

serves as the basis of obtaining valuable information from all members of the industry, with respect to compliance with labor and trade 

practice provisions of the Code. 

(2) 
3 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on this amendment to said Code, having found as herein set forth and on the basjs 

of all the proceedings in this matter : 

I find that: 

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

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 thereof1 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 

government 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 amend~d 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 amendment 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 be heard prior to approval of said 

amendment. 

For these reasons, this amendment has been approved. 

Respectfully, 

JUNE 13, 1934. 

HUGH s. JOHNSON' 

Adminutratoro.
