certified copy of a duly adopted resolution of the Code Authority 

which was presented t o the National Recovery Administration. 

The Code for this Industry, as approved by you on F ebruary 10, 

1934, was amended by adding a new article designated as XII, consisting of three sections, which provide that subj ect to the rules and 

regulations of the NRA all products of the Industry shall bear an 

NRA Label, which shall have a r egistration number especially 

assigned to each member of the Industry.

Authority for the Labels shall be subj ect to the supervision and order 

of the National Industrial Recovery Board and shall be not more

with the provisions of the Pleating, Stitching, and Bonnaz and Hand

It finds that: 

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

well designed to promot€ the policies and purposes of Title I of 

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 of industry for the purpose of cooperative action among trade groups, by inducing and 

maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate 

governmental sanction and supervision, by e,liminating 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 un~ 

employment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise 

rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions of said Ti~le of said Act, including without limitation subsection (a) of Section 3, subsection (a) of Section 7, and 

subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof.

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

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices.

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 approval of said 

amendment. 

For the above reasons this amendment has been approved. 

For the National Industrial Recovery Board:
