REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Sm: This is a report of an amendment to the Code of Fair, Competition for the Automatic Sprinkler Industry, in accordance with 

Administrative Order X-36, of May 26, 1934, relative to collection of 

Expenses of Code Administration. 

This amendment is proposed as a substitution for Article VIII, 

of the Automatic Sprinkler Code, approved October 9, 1933, as it 

now reads. An opportunity to be heard has been accorded to all 

interested parties. 

The Assistant 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 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 thereof, 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 prov-isions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation sub-section (a) of Section 3, sub-section (a) of Section 7 and 

sub-section (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. 

(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. 

(£) Those engaged in other st eps of the economic process have not 

been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

amendment. 

Said amendment is accordingly approved. 

Respectfully, 

JULY 20, 1934.
