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 

govermental 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 perti. 

nent 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 Divisional Committee to present the 

aforesaid amendment on behalf of the Division as a whole. · 

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

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices.

to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not 

operate to disc_riminate against them. 

(2) 
3 

(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 the above reasons this amendment has been approved by me.

AuGUST 8, 1934. 

HuGH S. JoHNSON,
