FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said Modification of said Code having found as herein set forth and on the 

basis of all the proceedings in this matter : 

I find that: 

(a) The Modification of said Code and the Code as modified 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 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 restrictions 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 unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as modified 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. 

(c) The Modification and the Code as modified are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(d) The Modification and the Code as modified are not designed 

to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. 

(2) 
3 

(e) Those engaged in other steps of the economic process have 

not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

Modification. 

For these reasons, this Modification has been approved by me. 

Respectfully, 

JULY 20, 1934.
