REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PREsiDENT, 

The White House. 

SIR: The Public Hearing on three proposed amendments to the 

Code of Fair Competition for the Cotton Cloth Glove Manufacturing Industry as submitted by the Code Authority was conducted on 

Monday March 12, 1934, in Room " D " of the Washington Hotel, 

Washington, D.C. Every person who requested an opportunity to 

be heard was fairly heard in public in accordance with the requirements of the National Recovery Administration as set forth in Notice of Hearing: No. 71-A. Present at the hearing were duly authorized representatives of the Code Authority and other representative members of the Industry. 

Article IX, Section 2 of the Code o£ Fair Competition for the 

Cotton Cloth Glove Manufacturing Industry, approved by you on 

December 30, 1933, provides that the code may be modified after due 

notice and hearing, on the basis of experience or changes in circumstances; such modification to be based on the recommendation of the 

Code Authority. In accordance with this provision, the Code Authority submitted two amendments designed to eliminate certain 

unfair practices not already covered in the approved Code. 

In final form these amendments have been approved by the Labor 

Advisory Board, Industrial Advisory Board, Consumers' Advisory 

Board, the Research and Planning Division and the Legal Division 

of the National Recovery Administration. The Code Authority has 

also indicated its assent and approval to the amendments as revised 

at a post-hearing Conference. 

It will be noted that the memoranda from the several Advisory 

Boards and the report o£ the Research and Planning Division refer 

to three amendments. This is due to the fact that three amendments 

were heard at the hearing. Though the Boards and Divisions gave 

unqualified approval to Amendments I and II relating to Article 

VIII on Unfair Trade Practices, the Research and Planning Division and the Labor Advisory Board einphatically objected to Amendment III, the intent of which was to grant a wage-differential to 

members of the Industry located in the Southern States. For this 

reason, and because wage-differentials between geographical areas 

have given rise to complaints of unfair competition in the past, it 

was deemed advisable to deny Amendment III. 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on Amendments I and II 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 Amendments I and II 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 re-

(2) 
3 

moval of obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which tend to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide 

for the o-eneral 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 goYernmental 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 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 empowers the Code Authority to present the aforesaid Amendments I and II on behalf of the Industry as a whole. 

(d) The Amendments I and II and the Code as amended are not 

designed to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(e) The Amendments I and II 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 

amendments. 

For these reasons, the Amendments I and II relating to Article 

VIII on Unfair Trade Practices have been approved, and Amendment III relating to Article IV on Wages has been denied. 

Respectfully, 

MAY 5, 1934.
