Srn: This is a report on the amendment to the Code of Fair Competition for the :Machinery and Allied Products Industry and the 

hearing conduct€d thereon in Washington, April 27, 1934. The

Code Authority. 

The Code for the Machinery and Allied Products Industry provides in Article VII, Section (a ) that; upon request of any trade 

association, organization, or group of employers representative of 

machinery or allied products not specifically defined in Article II 

thereof, the Basic Code Authority may make application to the 

AdministratO!' for amendment of the Code of Fair Competition for 1achinery and Allied Products Industry with respect to the definition of the Industry by addition thereto of a specific definition 

c~vering such products and, upon approval by the Administrator of 

said amendment, the employers concerned th'-'rewith shall become 

rnembers of the Industry, and shall be organized by Basic Code 

Authority into a Subdivision, with a Code Authority to be created 

as provided in Article VI of the Code of Fair Competition for the 

Machinery and Allied Products Industry. Concurrently with application for amendJnent to definition, such group of employers concerned therewith shall make application to the Administrator for 

a Supplemental Code as provided in Article I of the Code of Fair 

Competition for the ~fachinery and Allied Products Industry ( applicable solely to such Subdivision and dealing with subjects not 

provided for by the Code of Fair Competition for the Machinery 

and Allied Products Industry) . Upon u pproval by the Administrator such Supplemontal Code shall be binding on such Subtlivision 

and upon each employer therein. 

This amendment provides that Article II of the Code of Fair 

Competition for the Thiachinery and Allied Products Industry be 

amended to include the definitions of the following Subdivisions: 

1. Chemical Engineering Equipment Subdivision 

2. Electric Overhead Crane Subdivision 

3. Locomotive Appliance Subdivision 

Supplemental Codes have been filed for each of these Subdivisions and public hearings have been conducted thereon. The economic effect of including these Subdivisions in this Code will be 

shown when the respective Supplemental Codes are submitted for 

approval. 

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 : 

(2) 
3 

I find that: . 

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

well designed to promote 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 COOperatiYe action among trade roups, by inducing and maintaining united action of labor an 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 r educing 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 limitation 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 amendment on behalf of the Industry as a whole. 

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

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(e) The amendment and the Code as amended 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 b_, heard prior to approval of said 

amendment. 

For these reasons, therefore, I have approved this amendment on 

condition that the continued participation of the Electric Overhead 

Crane Institute in the activities of the Code as amended be conditioned upon its amending its Constitution and By-Laws to the satisfaction of the Administrator within thirty (30) days from the 

effective date of this amendment. 

Respectfully, 

l\1AY 28, 1934. 

HuGH S. JoHNSON, 

Administrator.
