REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: The Code Authority for the Men's Clothing Industry submitted on March 14, 1934, a proposed amendment to the Code of Fair 

Competition for the Men's Clothing Industry. This amendment 

as submitted was presented to the Legal Division of the National 

Recovery Administration, and received its approval. 

As this amendment was merely a simple trade practice provision 

to be added to the trade practice provisions of the Code, a Public 

Hearing was not necessary, and in lieu of the Public Hearing a notice 

of opportunity to file objections (Administrative Order No. 15-9) 

was printed and distributed in the same manner as a Notice of 

Hearing. The date of April 6, 1934, was set forth in this notice of 

opportunity to file objections as the deadline on which to receive 

objections to this amendment. Up to and including April 6, 1934, 

no objections to this amendment were received. 

In its final form this amendment was approved by the Industrial 

Advisory Board, the Labor Advisory Board, the Consumers' Advisory Board, the Legal Division, and the Research and Planning 

Division of the National Recovery Administration. 

This amendment is to be added as a new section to Article XII, 

and is to be known as Section C of the Code for this Industry. 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said amendment to said Code having found as herein set forth and on the basis 

of all 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 Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign conunerce which 

tend to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for tlie 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 produdive 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 other- • 

wise 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. 

(2) 
3 

( 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 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 approval of said 

amendment. 

For these reasons, these, trade practice provisions have been approved. 

Respectfully, 

APRIL 14, 1934. 

HUGHS. JOHNSON, 

Administrator.
