REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Sm: I have the honor to submit herewith an amendment to the 

Code of Fair Competition for the Light Sewing Industry Except 

Garments. The amendment, which is attached, was presented by 

the Code Authority. 

Notice of opportunity to file objections to this amendment was 

given and no objections were received. 

The amendment provides that Sub-section (d), Section 2 of 

Article VI of the Code shall be omitted and the provision contained in the Executive Order dated April 14, 1934, making the 

payment of the costs of administering a Code of Fair Competition 

mandatory upon all members of the industry, is included. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said amendment to said Code having found as herein set forth and on the 

basis of all 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 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 10 thereof. 

(c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to present the aforesaid amendment on behalf of the Indust~ v as a whole. 

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

and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(2) 
3 

(e) The amendment and the Code as amended are not de igned to 

and will not eliminate or oppres small enterprises and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. (f) Those engaged in other steps of the economic proce ·s have not 

been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

amendment. 

F or the above reasons this amendment has been approved by me.
