Sm : This is a report on the amendment of the Code of Fair Competition for the Bedding Manufacturing Industry as approved by 

me January 23 1934. Application was made under date of May 4, 

1934, by the Code Authority for the Bedding Manufacturing Industry, for amendment of the provisions of Article VIII of the Code. 

Fair notiC€ of opportunity to file objection· to this propo ed amendment was given to all interested parties. 

This amendment i drawn up and has been proposed in accordance

The Assistant Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on 

said amendment to said Code having fotmd as herein set forth and on 

the basis of the proceedings in this matter : 

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 Indu trial Recovery Act including the removal of obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which tend 

to din1inish the amount thereof and will provide for the general 

welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose 

of cooperativ-e action of labor and management under adequate 

governmental auction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of 

the present productiYe capacity of industries, by avoiding tmdue 

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 provision of said Title of said Act, including without limitation 

sub-section (a) of Section 3, sub-section (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 us amended are not designed to 

and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not operate to discriminate against them. 

(2) 
3 

(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. I believe the amendment to be fair to labor, to the consumer, and to 

the industry, and for these reasons, therefore, I have approved this 

amendment. 

Respectfully, 

JULY 27, 1934. 

HuGHS. JoHNSON, 

Administrator. 
AMENDMENT TO CODE OF FAIR CO:MPETITION FOR THE 

BEDDING MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY 

Article VIII of the Code of Fair Competition for the Bedding 

Manufacturina Industry, shall be and hereby is amended by the 

addition thereto of the following paragraphs: 

" (a) If the Administrator, after investigation shall at any time 

find both (1) that an emergency has arisen within the industry adver ely affecting small enterpri es or wages or labor conditions, 

or tending toward monopoly or other acute conditions which tend 

to defeat the purposes of the Act; and ( 2) that the determination 

of the sta.ted minimum price for a pecified product within the 

industry for a limited period is neces ary to mitigate the conditions 

constituting uch emergency and to effectuate the purposes of the 

Act, the Code Authority may cause an impartial agency to investigate co t and to recommend to the Administrator a determination of the stated minimum price of the product affected by the 

emergency and thereupon the Administrator may proceed to determine such stated minimum price. 

" (b) vVhen the Administrator shall have determined such stated 

minimum price for a specified product for a stated period, which 

price shall be rea onably calculated to mitigate the conditions of 

such emergency and to effectuate the purpose of the National Industrial Recovery Act, he shall publish such price. Thereafter, during such stated period, no member of the industry shall sell such 

specified product at a net realized price below said stated minimum 

price and any such sale shall be deemed destructive price cutting. 

From time to tin1.e, the Code Authority may recomn1.end review or 

reconsideration or the Administrator may cause any determinations 

hereunder to be reviewed or reconsidered and appropriate action 

taken."
