REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Sm : This is a report on the Hearing on an Am-endment to the Code 

of Fair Competition for the Light Sewing Industry Except Garments, held in Room 2062 of the Department of Commerce Building, 

on June 1, 1934. The Amendment which is attached was presented 

by the Divisional Committee for the Comfortable Division. 

In accor lance with the customary procedure every person who 

had filed a requ-est for an appearance was freely heard in public, and 

all tatutory and regulatory requirements were complied with. 

T he Amenrlment permits seasonable datings in the Comfortable 

Division of the Industry. 

Notice of Opportunity to file objections to this Amendment was 

given on l\1ay 2 but so many objections were received that a Hearing 

was called for June 1. Th-e objections were based on the fact that 

although seasonable datings were allowed, no anticipation could be 

granted, and, further it was claimed that granting seasonable datings would work to the disadvantage of the smaller units in the 

Industry which are not in a position to finance the manufacture of 

the product some time prior to receiving payment therefor. No 

objections were presented at th-e Hearing itself. 

The first objection was answered by permitting anticipation at the 

rate of not more than six percent per year. · 

In connection with the second objection, it was brought out at the 

l-Iearing that the smaller manufacturers produced th-e novelty items 

which are sold the year round and which are not sold with seasonable datings. According to the testimony, it is only the larger manufacturers in the Industry who produce the staple items which require 

that seasonable datings be granted and who sell through wholesalers. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to m-e on said 

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

the ba,sis of all 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 flow of interstate and foreign commerce 

which t end 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 full t po . ible utilization of th pre ent productive capacity of indu 'Tie , by aYoiding 

undue re triction of produ tion (except a may be temp rarily required), by increa ing the con umption £ indu trial and agri ultural product through increa ing purcha ing power, by reducing 

and relieving unemployment1 by improving standards o£ labor and 

by otherwi.se rehabilitating 1ndu try. 

(b) The "ode as amended comr lies in all respect with the pertinent provisions o.f aid Title of aid ct, including without limitation Subse t~on (a) of ection 3, ub ection (a) of ~ction 7 and 

Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

(c) The Code empowers the Divi ional Comrr.itte to pre · nt the 

aforesaid Amendment on behalf of the Di i ion a a wh le. 

(d) The amen lment and the Code a amended are net de igncd 

to and will not permit monopolie or mcnopoli tic practi es. 

(e) The amendment and the Code as am nded are not de igned 

to and will not eliminate or oppre small enterpri e and will not 

operate to eli criminate a~ainst them. 

(f) Tho e engaged in other step of the economic prcces have not 

been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approYal of ;;aid 

amendment. 

For the above reasons this amendment has been approved by me.
