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, a.nd 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 eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the 

present productive capacity of the 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 modified 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 modification and the Code as modified are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(e) The modification and· the Code as modified are not designed 

to and will not el]minate or oppress small enterprises and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. 

(2)

(f) Tho£e engaged in other steps of the economic process have 

not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

modification. 

For these reasons, therefore, I have approved this modification.
