The PRESIDENT, 

The lYliite House. 

Srn: In accordance with the provisions of the Code of Fair Competition for the Sandstone Industry, approved April 6, 1934, the 

Code Authority has submitted an amendment to Article VI, Section 

1 ( e) ( 5) de ·igned to empower the Code Authority to collect assessments from members of the Industry to provide for the expenses of 

administering the Code. Under this amen lment payment of such 

assessments will not be n1andatory until the Code Authority has 

submitted and has had approved by the Administrator, a Budget and 

plan of assessment. A provision of the amendment forbids the Code 

Authority from making expenditures in excess of their approved 

budget. These provisions replace the former provisions for supporting the Code Authority through voluntary payments. 

FINDINGS 

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

of all the proceedings in this matter: 

I find that: 

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

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

Nat.ion al 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 inducing and maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate 

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

the present productive capacity of indu tries, 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 otherwi.-e 

rehabilitating 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 

sub-section (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

( c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to present the aforesaid amendment on behalf of the industry as a whole. 

(cl) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(2) 
3 

(e) The amendment and the Code as amen led are not le io-ned to 

and will not eliminate or oppr ss small enterprise and will not op rate to discriminate against them. 

(£) Those engaged in other steps of the economic proce shave not 

been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

amendment. 

For these reasons, therefore, I have approved the amendment. 

Respectfully, 

SEPTEMBER 21, 1934. 

HUGH s. JOHNSON' 

Ad1ninistrator.
