REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

T he W hite House. 

Srn: This is a r eport on an amendment to the Code of Fair Competition for the Cooking and H eating Appliance :Manufacturing 

Industry. A Notice of Opportunity to be Heard was sent to all 

members of the Industry on June 18, 1934, and no objections were 

filed with the Administration. The amendment which is attached 

was presented by the Code Authority, and endorsed by the Trustees 

of the Institute of Cooking and Heating Appliance Manufacturers. 

The Code of Fair Competition for the Cooking and Heating 

:Manufacturing Industry provides in Article XI, Section 2, as 

follows : 

" 2. This code, except as to provisions required by the Act, may be 

modified on the basis of experience or changes in circumstances, 

such modifications to be based upon application to the Administrator, and such notice and hearing as he shall specify, and to 

become effective on approval by the President." 

This amendment provides that Section 5 of Article VII be deleted, and that certain provisions be inserted in accordance with your 

Executive Order of April 14 to :facilitate the collection from each 

member of the Industry of his or its equitable contribution of the 

expenses of the maintenance of the Code Authority, subject to such 

rules and regulations pertaining thereto that may be issued by the 

Administrator. 

FINDINGS 

The Assistant Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on 

baid 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 fl.ow of ~nterstate and foreign commerce which tend 

to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the general welfare by promoting the organization of industr_y 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 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 

unem12loyment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise 

rehabilitating industry. 

(2) 
3 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions 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 1nstitute of Cooking and H eating Appliance M:anufacturers was and is an industrial group truly represent ative of the 

aforesaid Industry, and that said Institute imposed and imposes no 

inequitable restrictions on admission to membership therein and has 

endorsed this amendment, which was submitted by the Code Authority. 

( 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 enterprise 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. 

For these reasons, therefore, I have approved this amendment. 

Respectfully, 

AuousT 13, 1934. 

HUGH s. JOHNSON, 

Adm-inistrator.
