REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

SIR: The Code Authority for the Dress Manufacturing Industry 

has submitted two proposed amendments to the Code of Fair Competition for the Dress Manufacturing Industry. These amendments 

were examined and approved by the Legal Division, the Division of 

Research and Planning, the Consumers, Industrial and Labor Advisory Boards. A Public Hearing was held on December 13, 1934, relative to these 

amendments and every person requesting a hearing was fairly heard 

in accordance with the rules and regulations of the National Recovery Administration. 

The first amendment classifies Colorado, Kansas and Utah in the 

Northern Section of the W estern Area and clarifies the definition of 

this section of the Code. 

The second amendment eliminates the necessity of the Code Authority providing rules and regulations to distinguish between 

"higher priced garments" and "lower priced garments." 

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 amendments 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 cooperative 

action of labor and management under adequate governmental sanctions, 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 "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 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 amendments on behalf 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. 

(2) 
3 

(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 against them. 

(f) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have 

not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to the effective date 

of these amendments. 

For the National Industrial Recovery Board: 

JANUARY 23, 1935.
