REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Sm: This is an amendment drawn to correct changes which appeared in the amendment to the Code of Fair Competition for the 

Cotton Textile Industry, as approved on July 17, 1934, for the Code 

of Fair Trade Practices Governing the M0rchandising of the Products of the Cotton Thread Manufacturing Branch of the Cotton 

Textile Industry. These changes developed after the proposed Fair 

Trade Practices had left the office of th~ Deputy Administrator. 

Therefore, this amendment is necessary to make the finally a.pproved 

amendments coincide with those submitted and approved by the 

Industry and the Advisory Boards. A hearing was not held nor 

was a Notice of an Opportunity to File Objections issued~ due to 

the minor changes made. However, the order approving this 

amendment provides that it shall not be effective for fourteen ( 14) 

days from the date of approval. 

PROVISIONS OF THE AMENDMENT 

Subsection (a), Section 21, Amendment No. 8 is amended to read 

"The Board of Directors or the Sub-Committee on Thread", instead of " of " in the first line; and the word " it " is deleted after 

the words " proposed to " in the fourth line. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to n1e 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 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 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 

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 reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving the standards o£ labor, and by 

otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

(2) 
3 

(b) The Cotton Textile Code as so 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 Cotton Textile Industry Committee is empowered to 

present the aforesaid Code of Fair Practices on behalf of the Industry as a whole. 

(d) The Code of Fair Trade Practices and the Cotton Textile 

Code as amended are not designed to and will not eliminate or 

oppress small enterprises and will not operate to discriminate against 

them. 

(e) The Code of Fair Trade Practices and the Cotton Textile 

Code as amended are not desjgned to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

For the above reasons this amendment has been approved. 

Respectfully, 

SEPTEl\fBER 11, 1934. 

HuGH S. JoHNSoN, 

Admin:strator.
