FIXDINGS 

The Assistant Deputy Administrator, in his final report to th• 

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 find~ 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 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 cooperatfre action among trade groups, by inducing a.nd niaintaining united action of labor and n1anagement under adequate govermnental 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 ( exc~pt as may be temporarily required), by increasing the consumption of industrial an<l agricultural products 

through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving 

unemployment, by improving standards of labor. and by otherwise 

rehabilitatin_g 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 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 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. 

For the National Industrial Recovery Board:
