Sm: This is a report on an amendment to the Code o£ Fair Competition for the Gumming Industry which was approved by you on 

February 17, 1934. 

The effect o£ this amendment will enable the Code Authority to

the proceedings in this matter: 

It is found 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 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 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 

restriction of production ( exoept as may be temporarily required), 

by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products 

through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving 

un ~ _lployment, 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 limitation 

sub-section (a) of Section 3, sub-section (a) of Section 7 and subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

(c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to propose the amendment on behalf of the Industry as a whole. 

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

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic 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 depri vecl of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

amendment. · For these reasons this amendment has been approved. 

For the National Industrial Recovery Board.
