REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PREsiDENT, 

The White ,House. 

Sm: An application has been duly made pursuant to and in full 

compliance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery 

Act, for an amendment to the Code of Fair Competition for the 

Funeral Supply Industry, submitted by the Code Authority for the 

Funeral Supply Industry. 

The purpose and effect of the amendment are to authorize the 

Code Authority to submit a budget and method of assessment upon 

which funds shall be contributed by members of the Industry. 

FINDINGS 

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

of all the proceedings in this matter : 

I find that: 

(a) The amendment to 5aid 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 :fore1gn commerce which tend 

to diminish the am-ount thereof, and will provide for the general 

welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose o:f 

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 the industries, by avoiding undue restrictions 

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 Amendment and the Code as amended are not designed to 

and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(d) 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. 

(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 

Amendment. 

For these reasons, therefore, I have approved this Amendment. 

Respectfully, 

JUNE 6, 1934.
