REPORT TO THE PBESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

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

Code of Fair Competition for the Drapery and Upholstery Trimming 

Industry. 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 subsection (c), S~ction 2, of Article 

VI shall be omitted and the provision contained in the Executive 

Order dated April 14, 1934, making the payment of the costs of 

adnlinistering a Code of Fair Competition mandatory upon all 

members of the Industry, is included. 

FINDINGS

a1nendment 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 How 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 Industry 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 designed to 

and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. 

(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 f,l.mendm~nt has been approved by me. 

Respectfully, 

JULY 17, 1934.
