REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

White House. 

Srn: This is a report on an amendment to the Code of Fair Competition for the Wet Mop Manufacturing Industry. Notice of Opportunity to File Objections to this amendement was published on 

June 4, 1934; no objections were received within the given fifteen 

(15) day period ending June 19, 1934. The amendment, which is 

attached, was presented by duly qualified and authorized representatives of the Industry, complying with statutory requirements and 

being the same agency that originally submitted the Code.

Code Authority as set forth in Executive Order No. 6678, dated 

April 14, 1934.

amenillnent to said Code having found as herein set forth and on 

the basis of all the proceedings in this matter:

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 commerce 

which tend to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for 

the general welfare by J?romoting the organization of industry for 

the purpose 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 reducin& 

and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of labor, anct 

by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions 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 peTmit 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. 

(2)

(f) Those engaged in other steps o£ the economic process have· 

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

amendment. · For these reasons the amendment has been approved. 

Respectfully, 

· HuGHS. JoHNSoN,
