SIR: This is a report on an amendment to the Code of Fair Competition for the Machinery and Allied Products Industry, hearing

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 

Administrator for amendment of the Code of Fair Competition for 

Machinery and Allied Products Industry with respect to the definition of the Industry by addition thereto of a specific definition covering such products and, upon approval by the Administrator of said 

amendment, the employers concerned therewith shall become members 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 

amendment 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 Machinery and Allied Products Industry (applicable solely 

to such Subdivision and dealing with subjects not provided for by 

the Code of Fair Competition for the l\fachinery and Allied Products Industry). Upon approval by the Administrator such Supplemental Code shall be binding on such Subdivision and upon each 

employer therein. 

This amendment provides that Article II of the Code of Fair 

Competition for the Machinery and Allied Products Industry be 

amended to include the definition of the Mine Car Manufacturing 

Subdivision. 

A Supplemental Code has been filed for this Subdivision and a

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

to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the general 

welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose 

of cooperative action of labor and 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 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 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 de igned 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices.

and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not operate to discriminate a,gainst 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 these reasons, this Am.endment has been approved.
