the National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of obstructions to the free flow of inter tate 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 co-operative action of labor and management under adequate 

governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization o:f 

the present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue

by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through increa ing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of labor and by 

otherwi e rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions of aid Title of said Act, including without limitation sub ection (a) of Section 3, subsection (a) of Section 7 and 

subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof.
