REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Srn: An application has been duly made pursuant to and in full 

compliance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery 

Act for an amendment to the Code of Fair Competition for the 

Watch Case Manufacturing Industry, submitted by the Code 

Authority for the Watch Case Manufacturing Industry. 

The purpose and effect of the a!l1endment is to allow the stamping 

of certain high quality watch cases in conformance with various 

state stamping laws, which stamping under the present Code is 

prohibited. 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report on said amendment 

to said Code having found as herein set forth and on the basis of all 

the proceedings in this matter: 

It is found that: 

(a) The amendment of 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 pm::pose 

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 the industries, by avoiding undue 

restrictions of production (except as may be temporarily required) 

by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through increa ing 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 limitation Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7 and 

Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

(c) The Amenru11ent and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

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

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

operate to di criminate against them. 

(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 

Amendment. 

For these reasons, therefore, this Amendment has been approved. 

For the National Industrial Recovery Board: 

JANUARY 8. 1935.
