REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: This is a report on a Supplementary Code of Fair Competition for the Powdered Metal Bearing lVIanufacturing Industry, a 

Product Group of the Automotive Parts and Equipment l\'.Ianufacturing Indu try. A proposed Supplementary 0 ode "TT'as , ubmitted 

on March 26, 1934 by the Coe e Authority Committ- e of the Automotive Parts and Equipment ;:Iunu:facturing Industry, on behalf of 

the Powd-erecl 1\'.Ietal Bearing Product Group which repre ents approximately 95% of the total Yolume of sales and 50% of the number 

of members of the Industry. 

The Public H earing , ,n the pro po ed Supplementary Code was 

conducted in "\Vashington on June 25, 1934, in accordance with the 

provi ions of the National Indu~trial R"cover3 Act. It was later 

revised and approYecl in its present: form. This Supplementary Code 

is designed primurily to put into legal effect certain F ,.ir Tra le 

Practice rules which long have b~en r 0 cognized in the Industry, but 

which have been without binding legal effect. The labor provisions 

of this Supplementary Code are those of the Basic Automotive Parts 

and Equipment iianufacturing Intlu try Code. The purpose of the 

Supplementary Code i stat€c1 in Article I, and Article II is devoted 

to d 0 finitions. 

An Administrati-ve Committ,ee fo administer the Supplementary 

Code is set up in Article III. This Committee i composed of four 

members elected in accordance with the voting provi ions provided 

in the By-Laws of Automotive Parts and Equipment :Thiannfa"turers, 

Incorporated, and one non-Yoting memb 0 r may be appointed by the 

~. ational Indu trial Reco...-ery Board to serve without expense to the 

Product Group for such time as the National Inclu~trial Recovery 

Board may specify. . Trade Practice Rules are set forth in Article I~~. 

FIXDIKGS 

The Deputy Admini~trator in his final re1Jort. to the ational Industrial Recovery Board on aid 'upplement, ry Code having found 

as herein set forth and on the basis of all the proc edings in this 

matter: 

The National Indu trial Recovery Board finds that : 

(a) Said Supplementary Code i well cle~igned to promote the 

policies and purposes of Title I of the ational Indu trial Recover3 

Act including removal of obstructions to the free flow of interstate 

and :foreign commerce which tend to diminish th amount thereof, 

and will provide for the general welfare b promoting the organiza-

(2) 
3 

tion o:f indu try for the purpo e of cooperative action among the 

trade group , by inducing and maintaining united action of labor 

and management under adequate governmental sanction and supervi ·ion by eliminating unfair competitive practices by promoting 

the fulle t po ·ible utilization of the pres nt productive capacity of 

indu trie by avoiding undue restriction of production ( except as 

may be temporarily required), by increasing the consumption of industrial and agTicultura.l products through increasing purchasing 

power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving 

standards of labor, and by otherwi e rehabilitating indu try. 

(b) Said Product Group normally employs not more than 50 000 

employees; and is not classified by the ational Industrial Recovery 

Board as a major industry. 

( c) The Supplementary Code, as approved, complie in all repect with the pertinent provision of said Title of said Act, including without limitation Sub ection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) 

of Section 7 and Sub ection (b) of Section 10 thereof; and that the 

applicant Product Grot1p is an indu trial group truly representative of the aforesaid Industry; and that said Product Group impo ·e · no inequitable restrictions on admis ion to member hip therein. 

( d) The Supplementary Code is not de igned to a.nd will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(e) The Supplementary Code i not designed to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterpri ·e and wil,l not operate to di criminate against them. 

(f) Tho ·e engaged in other step of the economic proce s ha,rc 

not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to ap1 roval of aid 

Supplementary Code. 

For these reasons, therefore,· the National Indu trial Recovery 

Board has approved this Supplementary Code.

of the stated minimum price of the product affected by the emergency and thereupon the National Industrial Recovery Board may 

proceed to de.terri1ine such stated minimum price.

Thereafter, during such stated period, no member of the Product 

Group shall sell such specified products at a net realized price below
