REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Sm: This is a report on an Amendment to the Code of Fair Competition for the Pyrotechnic Manufacturing Industry, which Code 

was approved on December 7, 1933. 

This Amendment provides for discontinuance of the manufacture 

and sale of certain fireworks which are considered more dangerous 

than others. It is the belief of the Industry that through this action 

added safety will be accorded the children of the Nation. 

A Notice of Opportunity to be Heard upon the said Amendment 

was published January 12, 1935, and expired February 2, 1935, in 

accordance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery 

Act. No serious objections or criticisms have been received. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report on said Amendment 

found as herein set forth, and on the basis of all the proceedings in 

this matter; 

The Board finds 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 thereof1 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 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 Board 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. 

(2)

(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. 

Therefore, said Amendment has been approved. 

For the National Industrial Recovery Board: 

APRIL 10, 1935.
