REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

'The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: This is a report on a Modification o:f the Supplementary 

Code of Fair Competition for the Wholesale Wallpaper Trade, said 

Code being approved Code No. 201B and approved by me on March 

16, 1934. This Supplementary Code has ooen modified by changing 

the word " of " to " off " in Article IV, Section 2, Paragraph 2, the 

third line, so that Article IV, Section 2, reads as follows : 

" The selling of current year's goods as fobs, seconds, damaged 

goods or close-outs, by any wholesaler or distributor to any buyer, 

before the thirty-first day of Decembtff in any year. 

"No jobs, seconds, damaged goods or close-outs shall be sold by 

any wholesaler or distributor to any buyer at a price below 331⁄2 % 

off the price quoted on new goods to buyers of the same type. There 

shall be no r estriction as to selling price of jobs after they have 

been out of the current year's line for more than one year." 

This Modification was made necessary by the fact that the word 

"of" was by mistake printed for the word "off." 

This Supplementary Code has also been modified by ending Article IV, with Section 6, and beginning a new Article V, headed as 

follows: "Article V-Permissive Trade Practices ", supplementing 

Article VIII of the General Code, as expressingly permitted in 

Article VIII of the Code of Fair Competition for the Wholesale 

or Distributing Trade. The following Rules and Regulations constitute methods of fair competition which shall apply to and govern 

the Members of the Wholesale Wallpaper Trade. . 

Section 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 of Article IV, became, after the Amendment, Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of Article V. What was formerly 

Article V-Effective Date-has by this Modification become Article VI. 

This Supplementary Code has been modified by striking therefrom 

Article IV, Section 8, Subsection (b), which read as follows: 

"All sample books, stands, and/or other forms of collective sample 

showings shall have the retailer's or decorator's net cost for room 

lot purcha es marked or printed by a uniform ymbol, as ad pted 

by ihe Divisional Code Authority. In no ca hall tbi ymbol 

app ar x pt on the ba k of th ample, and not in an wa a 

a part of ith r the patt rn numb r or the mark d or printe l fair 

value.' (Paragraph (b) of thi tion not mpul ory until aft r 

April 1, 1034.)"

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said modification of said Supplementary Code having found as herein set forth 

and on the basis of all the proceedings in this matter: I find that: 

(a) The modification of said Supplementary Code and the Supplementary Code as modified are well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I o:f 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 o:f industry :for the purpose o:f cooperative action among 

the trade groups, by inducing and maintaining united action o:f 

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 Supplementary 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 National Wallpaper vVholesalers Association was and 

is a trade association truly representative of the aforesaid Trade and 

that said association imposed and impose no inequitable restrictions 

on admission to membership therein and has applied for and consents to this modification. 

(d) The modification and the Supplementary Code as modified 

are not designed to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistio 

practices. 

( e) The modification and the Supplementary Code as modified 

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 the approval 

of this modification of the Supplementary Code. 

(g) In view of the fact that this modification merely corrects an 

error, and in view of the further fact that such modification has 

the approval of all the advisory boards, the Research and Planning 

Division, and the Legal Division, there was no necessity for a publjc 

hearing, and the modification was approved without such hearing. 

(h) This modification corrects an error and therefore was assented 

to by the Trade when they assented to the Code prior to approval 

of said Code. 

For these reasons this modification of the above-named Supplementary Code has been approved. 

Respectfully, 

MAY 10, 1934.

Ad!Jninistrator.
