REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The lVhite H ouiJe . 

SIR : A Public Hearing on an amendment to the Code of Fair 

Competition for the Umbrella Manufacturing Industry, submitted 

by the National A sociation of Umbrella Manufacturers, Inc., located at 230 Park Avenue, New York, N.Y., was conducted in 'Vashington on January 18, 1934, in accordance with the provisions of the 

National Industrial Recovery Act. The Association claims to repr esent 80 percent of the Industry. 

The amendment is to cover the issuance of an N.R.A. label to be 

affixed to each umbrella Inanufactured in the industry. Thi. label 

is to be is ·ued by the Planning and Fair Practice Agency for the 

industry and a fair and rea onable charge to h" made therefor which 

will in no case exceed one cent ( 1¢) for each label. The revenue 

derived from the ·ale of the e labels will be used in maintaining the 

Planning and Fair Practice Agency. 

FINDI::\GS 

The. Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said a1nendn1ent 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 RecoYery Act including the removal of ob- structions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which 

tend to diminish the amount thereof, and wjll provide for the general 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 nnder adequate 

governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest po sible utilization of 

tr .., present productive capacity of the industries, by avoiding undue 

restrictions of pro luction (except as may be temporarily required) 

by increasing the consumption of indu trial and agricultural products through inc rea ·ing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving 

unen1ployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise 

rehabilitating industry. (b) The Code a · amended complies in all re ·pects with th pertinent provi ions of said Title of ·aid Act, including without limitation Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and 

Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

(2) 
3 

(c) The National Association of Umbrella Manufacturer:, Inc. 

was and is an industrial association truly representative of the 

aforesaid industry and that said association imposed and imposes 

no inequitable r estrictions on admissionn to membership therein and 

has applied for or consents to this amendment. 

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

to and will not permit n1.onopolies 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. 

(g) For these reasons therefore, this amendment has been 

approved. 

Respectfully, 

FEBRUARY 2, 1934.
