to employees in the Industry who are partially incapacitated by 

reason of age and who shall receive not less than a stipulated amount 

of the n1inimum wage jn the Code, and further that such number of 

employees shall not exceed a stipulated percentage of the total of 

the number of employees in the plant, shall be stricken out, and that

FINDINGS 

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 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 Temoval of obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which tend 

to diminish the amount theTeof, and will provide for the general welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose of 

cooperative action among trade gToups, 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 productive 

capacity of industries, by avoiding undue restriction of production 

(except as may be te1nporarily 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 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 Code Authority is empowered 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. 

(2) 
3 

(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 am-endment. 

For the above reasons this amenrunent has been approved by me. 

Respectfully, 

JULY 6, 1934. 

HuGH S. JoHNSON,
