NOW, THEREFORE, on behalf of the President of the United 

States, I, Hugh S. Johnson, Administrator for Industrial Recovery, 

pursuant to authority vested in me by Executive Orders of the 

President, including Executive Order No. 6543-A, dated December 

30, 1933. and otherwise; do hereby incorporate, by reference, said 

annexed report and do find that said amendment and the Code as

REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PnESIDE~'T. 

Tlii lVh it, House. 

Sm: A public hearing on an amendment to the Code of Fair Competition for the American Match Industry, submitted by the Code 

Authority for that Industry, located at 420 Lexington Avenue, New 

York~ New York, was conducted in Washington on April 2, 1934, in 

accordance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery 

Act. 

Since the approval of the Code for the Ainerican Match Industry 

on December 30, 1933, it has become apparent that by extending 

terms of payment from thirty days to sixty days, smaller jobbers will 

be in a better position to buy in carloads and place themselves on a 

competitive basis with the carload buyers. 

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 the proceedings in this matter: 

I find that: 

{a) The amenchnents 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 comn1erce 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 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 ca_pacity of the industries, by avoiding undue restrictions of production (except as may be temporarily required), 

by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products t.hrough 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 amendment and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies and monopolistic practices. 

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

to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterpri~es and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. 

( e) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have 

not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to the approval 

of said amendment and modification. 

For these reasons the amendment has been approved. 

Respectfully, 

HUGH s. JOHNSON, 

Ad m,ini,strator. 

APRIL 24, 1934.
