welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose 

of cooperative action of labor and the management under adequate 

governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of 

the present productive capacity of industry, by avoiding undue restriction of produ,.,tion (except as may be temporarily required),

unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise 

rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the pertinent provision 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.
