REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Sm: This is a report on an amendment to the Code of Fair Competition for the Machine Applied Staple and Stapling Machin~ 

Industry. A public hearing was duly held thereon in Washington, 

D.C., May 16, 1934, in accordance with the provisions of the 

National Industrial Recovery Act. 

The amendment amends Article IX by adding a new section to 

become Section 10, and provides that no member of the IndustrY, 

shall sell any products of the Industry at prices other than those 

filed. 

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 ob truction to free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which tend to 

diminish the amount thereof and will provide for the general welfan~ 

by promoting the organization of Industry for the purpo8e of 

cooperative 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 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 rehabili-. 

tating 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 amendment and the Code as amended are not desig11ed 

to, and will not, permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(d) 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. 

(e) Those engaged in other steps of the economic prJcess have 

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

amendment. 

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

Respectfully, 

JUNE 19, 1934. 

Approved Code No. 327-Amendment No. 1.
