Divi ion's ugae ted wording for ·uch amendments. It i · int nde<l

This amendment does not in any way affect the labor provi ions 

of the Code or anything other than as e sment for expen es of code 

administration. 

The Assistant Deputy Administrator in hi final report to 1ne on 

said amendment to said Code having found a herein et forth, and 

on the basis of all the proceedings in thi matter: 

I find that: 

(a) The amendment to said Code and the Code a amended are 

well designed to promote the policies and I urpo e of Title I of the 

National Indu trial Recovery Act including the r moval of ob -tructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commer e which tend 

to dimini h the amount thereof, and will provide for the general 

welfare by promoting the organization of indn try for the purp e of 

cooperative action among trade group , by inducing and maintaining 

united action of labor and management und r adequate g v rnmental anction and supervision by eliminatino- unfair competitive 

practices, by promoting the fullest po ible utilization of the pre ent 

productive capacity of indu trie , by aYoidino- undue r triction of 

production ( exc pt as may be temporarily required) by incr a ing 

the con umption of in lu trial and aoTi ultural pro luct thr no·h 

increasing purcha ing power, by reducin and r lieving un mploym nt, by improving standards of labor an<l by oth rwi e rehabili ating indu try. 

(b) The od as amended complie in all r pect with the p0rtin nt pr vi. ion of ajd Title of aid ct includino- with ut limitabon 

ub ection (a) of ection 3 ub ·ti n (a) of ection 7, and ubsection (b) of cti n 10 thereof. 

(2)

( c) The Code empowers the National Emergency Committee to 

present the aforesaid amendment on behalf of the Industry as a 

whole. 

( d) The amendmenf 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. 

(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. 

I believe the amendment to be fair to labor, to the consumer and 

to the industry, and for these reasons, therefore, I approve this 

amendment. 

Respectfully, 

SEPTEMBER 21, 1934.
