REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: This is a report on the modification to the Code of Fair 

Competition for the End Grain Strip Wood Block Industry, which 

has been submitted in accordance with Executive Order No. 6678. 

This modification enables the Code Authority to incur such reasonable obligations as are necessary to support the administration of the 

code and to maintain the standards of fair competition established 

by this code. It also enables the Code Authority to submit an itemized budget, and an equitable basis upon which the funds necessary 

to support such budget shall be contributed by the members of the 

industry. Such contributions are made mandatory by this 

modification. 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said modification of said code having found as herein set forth and on the 

basis of all the proceedings in this matter: 

I find that: 

(a) The modification of said code and the code as modified 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 

rooperative 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 restriction of production 

( except as may be temporarily required), by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by inducing and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating indu~try. 

(b) The code as modified complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation 

subsection (a) of Section 3, ub ection (a) of Section 7 and subsection 

(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 modification and the code as modified are not de iITTied 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopoli tic practice . 

( e) The modification and the code as modified are not de iITT1 d to 

and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprise and will not 

operate to di criminate again t them. 

(2) 
3 

( 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 

modification. 

For these reasons this modification has been approved. 

Re ·pectfully, 

AUGUST 16, 1934.
