REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Sm: The attached modification of Section 3, Article XV of the 

Code of Fair Competition for the ""\i\T ool Textile Industry has been 

made in order to clarify the intent of this provision as now worded. 

The industry, when submitting the original clause: -wished to provide that price information would be available for its members but 

did not desire to furnish samples which might be on file. The section previously approved, was so worded that both price and sample 

information could be demanded. The latter i a confidential matter 

between the individual producer and the Code Authority, and should 

not be made available to competitors. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said morlification 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 is 

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 fulle t possible utilization of the 

present productive capacity of industries, by ayoiding undue re triction of production (except as may be temporarily required) by increasing the con umption of industrial and agricultural products 

through increasing purchasing po~Ver, by reducing and relieving unemployment by impro\ing standards of labor, and by otherwise 

rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as modified complies in all respect with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) Section 7 and Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

(c) The National Association of ""\Vool :Manufacturers was and is 

an industrial association truly representative of the aforesaid Industry and that said association imposed and imposes no inequitable 

restrictions on admission to member hip therein and has applied for 

or consents to this modification. 

(d) The modification and the Code as modified are not desianed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. b 

(2) 
3 

(e) 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. 

(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 

modification. 

For th-ese reasons, this modification has been approved. 

Respectfully, 

MARCH 26, 1934.
