REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The lV hite Hous e. 

Sm: An application has been duly made pursuant to and in full 

compliance with the provisions of the N ationul Industrial Recovery 

Act, for amendment to the Code of Fair Competition for the Cork 

Industry, submitted by the Code Authority for aid Industry. 

The purpose and effect of the deletion and amendment as submitted are to revise the Code in conformity with the standard requirements for child labor and hazardous occupations; and for the insertion in the Code of the standard mandatory clauses for the basis 

of assessment and contribution by members of the Industry to the 

expenses of administering the Code for the Cork Industry. 

FINDINGS 

The Assistant Deputy Administrator in his final report to the 

National Industrial Recovery Board on said amendment to said Code 

having found as herein set forth and on the basis of all the proceedings in this matter: 

The Board finds that : 

(a) The amendment to said Code and the Code as amended are 

well designated 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 

goYernmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the 

present productive capacity of the 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 

rehabilitatin<Y industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of aid Act, including without limitation sub-section (a) of Section 3, sub-section (a) of Section 7, and 

sub-section (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

(c) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed to 

and will not permit-monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(d) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not elimina.te or oppr-ess sn1.all entetprises and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. 

(2) 
3 

(e) 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. 

For the e reasons, therefore, aid amendment has been approved. 

For the National Indu trial Recovery Board:
