The amendment, which is attached, was presented by the Basic Code 

Authority. 

The Code for the JYiachinery and Allied Products Industry pro-

-rides in Article VII, Section (a) that: 

"Upon request of any trade association, organization, or group of 

employers representutiYe of machinery or allied products not specifically defined in Article II thereof, the Basic Code Authority may 

n1ake application to the Administrator for amendment of the 

Code of Fair Competition for :Machinery and Allied Products Industry with respect to the definition of the Industry by addition 

thereto of a specific definition covering such products and, upon approval by the Administrator of said amendment, the employers concerned therewith shall become members of the Industry, and shall 

be organized by Basic Code Authority into a subdivision, with a Code 

Authority to be created as provided in Article VI of the Code of Fair 

Competition for the :.Machinery and Allied Products Industry. Concurrently with applications for amendment to definition, such group 

of employers concerned therewith shall make application to the Administrator for a Supplen1ental Code as provided in Article I of 

the Code of Fair Competition for the Machinery and Allied Products 

Industry (applicable solely to such Subdivision and dealing with 

subjects not provided for by the Code of Fair Competition for the 

:Machinery and Allied Pre ducts Industry). Upon approval by the 

Administrator such Supplemental Code shall be binding on such 

Subdivision and upon each employer therein." 

This amendment provides that Article II of the Code of Fair

increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products 

through increasing purchasing power, by r educing and relieving 

unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise 

rehabilitating industry.

For these reasons, this Amendment has been approved.
