to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the purpose of · cooperative action of labor and management under adequate govern- . 

mental sanctions 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' 

(2) 
3

rehabilitating Industry.

pertinent provi ions 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.
