REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: An application has been duly made pursuant to and in full 

compliance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery 

Act for amendment of Article VI of the Code of Fair Competition 

for the Toll Bridge Industry. 

The Code of Fair Competition for the Toll Bridge Industry was 

approved on May 17, 1934. Article VI, Section 10, provides that: 

"(10) All members of the industry shall furnish to the Code Authority, through an impartial agency, such information and reports 

as are required for the administration of the Code. In addition to 

information required to be submitted to the Code Authority, members of the industry subject to this Code shall furnish such statistical 

information as the Administrator may deem necessary for the purposes recited in Section 3 (a) of the Act to such Federal and State 

agencies as he may designate ; provided that nothing in this Code 

shall relieve any member of the industry of any existing obligations 

to furnish reports to any Government agency. No individual report 

shall be disclosed to any other member of the industry or any other 

party except to such other Governmental agencies as may be directed 

by the Administrator." 

Article VI, Section 12, of said Code, provides that: 

"(1'2) The Code Authority shall cooperate with the Administrator 

in regulating the use of any NRA insignia solely by those members 

of the industry who have assented to and are complying with this 

Code." 

Amendment No. 1 of the Code of Fair Competition for the Toll 

Bridge Industry was approved on December 20, 1934, provided, however, that the first sentence of Section 10 and the whole of Section 

12 of Article VI of said Code be stayed pending further order of 

the National Industrial Recovery Board. 

Subsection (b), Section 8, Article VI, of Amendment No. 1, provides that: 

"(b) To obtain from members of the industry such information 

and reports as are required for the administration of the Code." 

This Subsection (b) of the amendment is inconsistent with the 

first sentence of Section 10, Article VI, of the Code. 

The proposed amendment deletes the first sentence of Section 10, 

Article VI, of the Code, so that this Section shall read as follows : 

" ( 10) In addition to information required to be submitted to the 

Code Authority, members of the Industry subject to this Code shall 

furnish such statistical information as the Administrator may deem 

necessary for the purposes recited in Section 3 (a) of the Act to 

such Federal and State agencies as he may designate; provided that 

nothing in this Code shall relieve any member of the Industry of 

(2) 
3 

any existing obligations to furnish reports to any Government 

agency. No individual report shall be disclosed to any other member of the Industry or any other party except to such other Governmental agencies as may be directed by the Administrator." 

Paragraph 2, Subsection ( e), Section 8, Article VI, of Amendment No. 1, provides that: 

" 2. Each member of the Industry shall pay his or its equitable 

contribution to the expenses of the maintenance of the Code Authority, determined as hereinabove provided, and subject to rules and 

regulations pertaining thereto issued by the National Industrial Recovery Board. Only members of the Industry complying with the 

Code and contributing to the expenses of its administration as hereinabove provided (unless duly exempted from making such contributions), shall be entitled to participate in the selection of members 

of the Code Authority or to receive the benefits of any of its voluntary activities or to make use of any emblem or insignia of the National Recovery Administration." 

This paragraph 2, Subsection ( e), Section 8, Article VI, of the 

Amendment is inconsistent with Section 12, Article VI, of the Code. 

The proposed amendment deletes Section 12, Article VI, of the 

Code, and amends Section 13, Article VI, of the Code, by changing 

the Section number thereof from " ( 13)" to " ( 12) ". 

The inconsistencies between the Sections of the Code and the Sections of Amendment No. 1 are eliminated by the proposed 

amendment. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrator, in his final report to the National Industrial Recovery Board on said amendment of said Code, having 

found as herein set forth and on the basis of all the proceedings 

in this matter : 

We find that : 

(a) The amendment of said Code will eliminate certain inconsistencies between Sections of the Code and Amendment No. 1. Said 

inconsistencies are occasioned by a conflict in the wording of the 

Code and the wording of the model clauses of Amendment No. 1. 

The elimination of these inconsistencies have no economic significance and will not create any inequitable conditions, as between 

members of the Industry. 

(b) The amendment of 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 obstruction 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 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 

re triction 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 
4 

unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise 

rehabilitating industry. 

( c) The Code as amended complies in all respects 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 thereof. · 

( d) The Code empowers the Code Authority to present the aforesaid amendment on behalf of the Industry as a whole. 

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

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

( f) 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. 

(g) 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, this amendment has been approved. 

For the National Industrial Recovery Board: 

W. A. HARRIMAN, Ad11iinistrative Officer.

recited in Section 3 (a) of the Act to such Federal and State agencies as he 

may designate; provided that nothing in this Code shall relieve any member 

of the Industry of any existing obligations to furnish reports to any Government agency. No individual report shall be disclosed to any other member 

of the Industry or any other party except to such other Governmental agencies 

as may be directed by the Administrator."
