REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

THE PRESIDENT' 

The White House. 

Srn: The Hearing on the annexed amendment to Schedule A of 

the Qode of Fair Competition for the Retail Trade was held on 

October 23, 1934, in the Raleigh Hotel, Washington, D. C. The 

amendment was presented by duly qualified and authorized representatives of the Trade, complying with statutory requirements, 

such representatives being members of the National Retail Drug 

Code Authority. 

In accordance with the customary procedure, everyone who had 

filed a request for an appearance was freely heard in public, and 

all statutory and regulatory requirements were complied with. 

This amendment is drawn to enable the National Retail Drug 

Code Authority and the several Local and Metropolitan Retail Drug 

Code Authorities to incorporate, if they wish, under the laws of any 

State or the District of Columbia, subject to the approval by the 

National Industrial Recovery Board of their articles of incorporation, and subject to the right of the National Industrial Recovery 

Board to require a modification of such articles of incorporation if 

the State laws permit, or to require that the corporation be reorgan- ized in some other State. The powers, duties, objects and purposes 

of the respective corporations are limited to the powers, duties, 

objects and purposes of the respective Code Authorities, and the 

existence of said corporations are limited to the term of the Code. 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to the National 

Industrial Recovery Board on said amendment to said Code having 

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

this matter; 

The National Industrial Recovery Board finds 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 Rec·overy Act including the removal of 

obstructions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce 

which tend to dimini h the amount thereof, and will provide for 

the general welfare by promoting the organization of industry for 

the purpose of cooperative action of labor and management under 

adequate governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating un- fair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utiliza- tion 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 throough increasing purchasing power, by reducing 

and relieving unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and 

by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limi-

(2)

tation sub-section (a) of Section 3, sub-secti·on (a) of Section 7 and 

sub-section (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

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

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

to and will not permit monopolies or m•onopolistic 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. 

For these reasons the amendment has been approved. 

For the National Industrial Recovery Board: 

MARCH 19, 1935.
