REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White H ouse. 

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

compliance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery 

Act for an amendment of Article V of the Code of Fair Competition 

for the D omestic Freight Forwarding Industry. 

The Code of Fair Competition for the Domestic Freight F orwarding Industry was approved on December 18, 1933. Article V contains six sections of general labor provisions. Recognizing the importance of establishing standards for safety and health, a new 

section, to be known as ct on 7, is therefore proposed to be added 

to Article V. This section will require the submission of st andards, 

providing for the safety and health of employees at the place and 

during the hours of their employment, within six months after the 

effective date of this amendment. After approval, such standards 

of safety and health shall become the minimum standards of safety 

and health for all members of the Industry and shall thereafter be 

a part of the Code and enforceable as such. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrator, in his final report to the National Industrial Recovery Board on the amendment to said Code, having 

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

this matter : 

We find that : 

(a) Certain members of the Industry are not following any adequate standards for the safety and health of their emplo:yees. Other 

things being equal, the expenses of a member who is not following 

such standards are less than those of a member who has adopted 

such standards and who is incurring additional expenses necessarily 

involved in following them. The competitive advantage gained by 

not following any adequate standards of safety and health is, as a 

matter of fa ct, unfair. 

(b) The amendment to ·aid Code and the Code as amended are 

well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of 

the National Indu trial Recovery Act ·including the removal of obstruction to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which 

tend to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the gen- er al 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 restric-

(2) 
3 

tion of production (except as may be temporarily required), by increasing the consumption of indu trial and agricultural products 

through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving tandards of labor, and by otherwise 

rehabilitating indu try. 

(c) The Code as amended com plies in all respects with the pertinent provi ion of said Title of said Act, including without limitation ub ection (a) of Section 3, subsection (a) of Section 7 and 

subsection (b) of Section lO thereof. 

(d) The Code Authority, which submitted the application for 

amendment of the Code, is truly representative of the Industry as 

a whole.. 

(e) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(f) The amendment and the Code as amended are not desianed to 

and will not eliminate or oppress small enterpri es and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. 

(g) Tho e engaged in any othar teps of the economic process have 

not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

amendment. 

For these reasons, this amendment has been approved. 

For the National Industrial Recovery Board: 

MAY 8, 1935.
