REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

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

compliance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery 

Act for an amendment of Article IV of the Supplementary Code of 

Fair Competition for the Advertising :Metal Sign and Display Manufacturing Industry by the Supplementary Code Authority for that 

Indust~y. 

The Supplementary Code of Fair Competition for the Advertising 

Metal Sign and Display J\ianufacturing Industry was approved on 

April 20, 1934. Article IV, Section 5 provides that: 

":Members of the Industry shall be entitled to share the benefits 

of the activities of the Supplementary Code Authority and to participate in the selection of the members thereof by assenting to and 

complying with the requirements of this Supplementary Code and 

sustaining their reasonable share of the expenses of its ad."Ilinistration. Such reasonable share of the expenses of administration shall 

be determined by the Supplementary Code Authority subject to 

review by the Administrator, on the basis of volume of business 

and/or such other factors as may be deemed equitable." 

Article IV, Section 8 ( d) provides that: 

"To cooperate with the Administrator in regulating the use of 

the N. R. A. insignia solely by those employers who have assented 

to and are complying with this Supplementary Code." 

Article IV, Section 8 (g) provides that: 

" To secure from members of the Industry an equitable and proportionate payment of the reasonable expenses of maintaining the 

Supplementary Code Authority and its activities." 

The above sections of Article IV in effect provide for voluntary 

contributions on the part of the members of the Industry. This 

method of providing funds for the proper administration of the 

Supplementary Code has been found to be unsatisfactory. The 

present amendment is therefore proposed to create a legal obligation 

on the part of the Industry members to pay their pro rata share of 

the expenses of the Supplementary Code Authority. 

FINDINGS 

The Assistant Deputy Administrator, in his final report to The 

National Industrial Recovery Board on said amendment of said 

Code, having found as herein set forth and on the basis of all the 

proceedings in this matter: 

It finds that : 

(a) The amendment of 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 

(2) 
3 

obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce 

which tend to diminish the amount thereof, and all provide £or the 

general welfare by promoting the organization of industry £or 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 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 +O 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 monopolistic 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. 

For these reasons, therefore, it has approved this amendment. 

Respectfully, 

OCTOBER 5, 1934.

to support such budget shall be contributed by members of the 

Industry; . (3) After such budget and basis of contribution have been approved by the Administrator, to determine and obtain equitable contribution as above set forth by all members of the Industry, and to 

that end, if neces,sary, to institute legal proceedings therdor in its 

own name, or in the name of the Treasurer. 

(B) Each member of the Industry shall pay his or its equitable 

contribution to the expenses of the maintenance of the Supplementary Code Authority, determined as hereinabove provided, and
