REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT

The PRESIDENT,

The White House.

Sm: This is a report on a modification of the Code of Fair Competition for the River and Harbor Improvement Industry which was

approved by you on May 18, 1934.

The effect of this amendment, modifying the definition of the

River and Harbor Improvement Industry, will be to avoid conflict

in and overlapping of work, as between the River and Harbor Improvement Industry and sub-Chapter II-B of Chapter II of the

Code of Fair Competition for the Construction Industry.

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said modification of said Code having found as herein set forth and on the

basis of all the proceedings in this matter:

I find that:

(a) The modification of said Code and the Code as modified 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 thereof, and will provide for the general

welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose

of cooperative action of labor and manag-eient 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 consumlption 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 modified 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 modification and the Code as modified are not designed to

and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices.

(d) The modification and the Code as modified are not designed

and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises 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 approval of said

modification.

For these reasons this modification has been approved.

Respectfully,

HUGH S. JOHNSON,

Administrator.

Jury 2, 1934.
