REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDEN1', 

The White H ou.se. 

Sm: This is a report on the modification of the Code of F air Competition for the Bedding Manufacturing Industry as approved by 

me on January 23, 1934. Application was made under elate of April 

24, 1934, by the Code Authority for the Bedding Manufacturing Industry for modification o.f the provi ions of Article VI, Section 2, 

of the Code. Fair notice of opportunity to file objections to th.is 

proposed amendment was given to all interest ed partie,s. 

This amendment originally was drawn up and proposed in accordance with Executive Order No. 6678, dated April 1-±, 1934, and with 

my Administrative Order No. X-20. Since then, it has been revised 

in accordance with Administrative Order No. X-36, superseding Administrative Order No. X-20. It is intended to govern the collection 

of expenses of code administration by the Beddin<Y Code Authority. 

This amendment doe,s not in any way affect the labor provisions of 

the Code nor anything other than assessment for expenses of code 

administration. 

The Assistant Deputy Admjnistrator in his final r eport to me on 

said amendment to said Code having found as herein set forth, and 

on the ba i,s 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 r emoval of 

obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce 

which tend to dimit:ii h the amount thereof, and will 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 under 

adequate governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating 

unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the J?resent 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 r educing 

and relieving unemployment, by jmproving standards of labor, and 

by otherwi e rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all r espects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7, and 

Subsection (b) of Section 10 th-ereof. 

(c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to present the afore, 

said amendment on behalf of the industry as a whole. 

(2) 
3 

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

and. will not permit monopolie or monopoli tic practices. 

(e) The amendment and the Code as amended are not de igned to 

and will not eliminate or oppre s small enterpri es and will not 

operate to di criminate against them. 

(f) Those engaged in other step 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, 

J UNE 29, 1934. 

HuaH S. JoHNSON, 

Ad11~inistrator.
