REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PREsiDENT, 

The White HoU8e. 

Sm: The Code Authority for the Dress Manufacturing Industry 

submitted two proposed amendments to the Code of Fair Competition 

for the Dress Manufacturing Industry. These amendments were 

presented to the Legal Division, the Industrial Advisory Board, the 

Division of Research and Planning, the Consumers Advisory Board 

and the Labor Advisory Board and received their approval. 

As these amendments were in accordance with standard form and 

consistent with the policies of the Administration, Public H earings 

were considered unnecessary, and in lieu of Public H earings, Notices 

of Opportunity to be Heard were printed and distributed in the same 

manner as Notices of Public Hearing. A specified date was set 

forth in such notices, by which time objections and criticisms were 

to be received relative to these amendments. 

The first amendment provides that no member of the Code Authority for the Dress Manufacturing Industry shall be liable in any 

manner to anyone for any act of any other member, officer, agent or 

employee of the Code Authority. 

The second amendment provides that if merchandise purchased 

consists of completed garments out of stock, ordered for shipment 

within two working days from the date of the order, the manufacturer shall have an additional twenty-four hours from the expiration 

date of the order in which to make shipment. 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to the National 

Industrial Recovery Board on said amendments to said Code having 

found as herein set forth and on the basis of all proceedings in this 

matter: 

The National Industrial Recovery Board finds that: 

(a) The amendn1ents to said Code and the Code as amended are 

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

National 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 purpose of cot)perative 

action of labor and management under adequate governmental sanctions and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, 

by promoting the fullest possible uti.lization of ~he 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 increased 

purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, 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 Title of said Act, including without limi-

(2) 
3 

tation Subsection (a) of .Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and 

Subsection (b) of Section 10, thereof. 

(c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to present the aforesaid amendments on beha,lf of the Industry as a whole. 

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

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(e) The amendments and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not 

operate to discriminate ~gainst them. 

(f) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process will not 

have been deprived of the right to be heard prior to the effective 

date of these amendments. 

For the National Industrial Recovery Board:
