REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The lV hite H ou.se. 

Sm: These modifications were incorporated as a part of the cost 

formula presented by the Limestone Industry on which a Public 

I-fearing was held on February 14, 1934, but pursuant to the suggestion of the Legal Division, it was decided to submit said modifications in separate form. 

FINDINGS 

The Assistant Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on 

the n1odification of said Code having found as herein et forth and 

on the basis of all the proceedings in this matter: 

I find that: 

(a) The modifications of said Code and the Code as modified 

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

of the National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of 

obstruction 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 0£ industry for the 

purpo<::e 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 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 modifications and the Code as modified are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

( d) The modifications 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 

modifications. 

Said modifications are accordingly approved. 

Respectfully, 

MAY 14, 1934.
