REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: This is to report on th~ application of the Cleanser Manufacturing Industry, which includes the manufacture of cleansers made 

with soap and insoluble mineral or minerals as essential ingredients, 

for consolidation and complete coverage as a Product Division under 

the Code of Fair Competition for the Soap and Glycerine Manufacturing Industry, approved by you on November 2, 1933; the hearing of this group having been duly conducted at the Public Hearing 

on the Code of Fair Competition for the Soap and Glycerine Manufacturing Industry, held in Washington, D.C., October 5, 1933. 

GENER.AL STATEMENT 

The petition of the Cleanser Mal).ufacturing Industry was presented at the Public Hearing on the Soap and Glycerine Code held 

in Washington, D.C., October 5, 1933. Action has been delayed pending the preparation and submission of a supplemental Code of Fair 

Practices. This supplement has never been filed, and th-c Industry 

does not contemplate at this time the filing of such a supplemental 

Code of Fair Practices. 

The petitioners, who represent approximately seventy-five per 

cent (75 % ) of the manufacturers of cleansers made with soap and 

insoluble mineral or minerals as essential ingredients, and, therefore, being truly representative of this product division of the Soap 

and Glycerine Manufacturing Industry, have elected to avail themselves of the option provided for in Article VI, Sections C and D 

of the basic Code for the Soap and Glycerine :Manufacturing Industry, approved by you on the second day of November, 1933, and 

request that they be permitted to operate as a Product Division under 

the Code of Fair Competition for the Soap and Glycerine Manufacturing Industry. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said application for consolidation and complete coverage of the Cleanser 

Manufacturing Industry as a Product Division under the Code of 

Fair Competition for the Soap and Glycerine Manufacturing Industry having found as herein set forth and on the basis of all the 

proceedings in the matter: 

I find that: 

(a) Said consolidation and complete coverage of the Cleanser 

Manufacturing Industry as a Product Division under the Code of 

(3) 
I 

4 

Fair Competition for the Soap and Glycerine Manufacturing Industry are well designed to promote the policies and purposes of 

Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act, including 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 cooperative action among the trade groups, by inducing 

and maintaining united 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 increasing purchasing power, by reducinO' 

and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and 

by otherwise rehabilitating Industry. 

(b) Said Industry normally employs not more than 50,000 employees; and is not classified by me as a major industry. 

( c) Said consolidation and complete coverage of the Cleanser 

Manufacturing Industry as a Product Division under the Code of 

Fair Competition for the Soap and Glycerine Manufacturing Industry 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; and that the applicant group is truly representative 

of the aforesaid Industry; and that the Association of which they 

are members imposes no inequitable restrictions on admission to 

membership therein. 

( d) Said consolidation and complete coverage of the Cleanser 

~1anufacturing Industry as a Product Division under the Code of 

Fair Competition for the Soap and Glycerine Manufacturing Industry are not designed to and will not permit monopolies. 

( e) Said consolidation and complete coverage of tne Cleanser 

Manufacturing Industry as a Product Division under the Code of 

Fair Competition for the Soap and Glycerine :Manufacturing Industry are not designed to and will not eliminate or oppress smalI 

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 approval of said 

consolidation and complete coverage. 

For these reasons, therefore, this consolidation and complete 

coverage has been approved.
