REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDE).TT 

The White House. 

rn: Thi i a report on the proposed modification of the Code of 

Fair Competitfon for the Furniture Manufacturing Indu try as approved b you on Dece111ber 7, 1933. Application was made in thi 

offic under date of December 16, 1933, by the Code Authority for 

the Furniture 1:anufacturing Indu try for modifi ation of the provi ions of Section 8 Article VIII, of the Code. A public h arin o- on 

the propo ed 1nodification of the Code was held in the city of '\"Va hington on December 28, 1933, and full opportunity was given to all 

intere ted partie to appear. 

The change proposed is to enable members of the Furniture Industry who manufacture Cedar Chests to maintain a trade practice 

which has been in effect for a great many years. As the Furniture 

Code was approved, the making of freight differentials by manufacturers of Cedar Chests is prohibited. It was not intended b. the 

sponsors of the Code of Fair Competition for the Furniture l\ianufacturing Industry to impose undue hardships on the manufacturers of Cedar Chests and the Code Authority for the Furniture 

l\1anufacturing Industry voted unanimously to present the amendment. 

This amendment does not in any way affect the labor provisions 

of the Code or anything other than freight allowances to be made 

by manufacturers of Cedar Chests. 

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 promow the policies and purposes of Title I of the 

ational Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of ob tructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which 

tend to diminish the. amount thereof, and will provide for the o- neral welfare by promoting the organization of indu try for the 

purpose of cooperative action among trade groups, by inducing and 

maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate 

o-overnn1ental sanction and upervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practice , by promoting the :fulle t pos ible utilization of the 

pre. ent productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue retriction of production ( except as may be temporarily required), 

by increa ing the consumption of indu trial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwi e rehabilitating industry. 

(2) 
3 

(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 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 n1onopolistic 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. 

I believe the amendment to be fair to labor, to the consumer, and 

to the industry, and for these reasons, therefore, I approve this 

amendment. 

Respectfully, 

FEBRUARY 5, 1934.
