REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White Hm~e. 

Srn: This is a :report on the modification of the Code of Fair 

Competition for the Metal Hat Die and vVood Hat Block Industry, 

which has been submitted in accordance with Executive Order 

No. 6678. 

This modification enables the Code Authority to incur such 

reasonable obligations as are necessary to support the administration of the code and to maintain the standards of fair competition 

established by this code. It also enables the Code Authority to sub- mit an itemized budget, and an equitable basis upon which the 

funds necessary to support such budget shall be contributed by the 

members of the indn try. Such contributions are made mandatory 

by this modification. 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to n'le on said n'lodification of said code having found as herein set forth and on the 

ba is of all the proceedings in this matter: 

I find that: 

(a) The modification of said code and th~ 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 intertate and foreign commerce which 

tend to liminish the mnount 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 competiti\e practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the pre ent productive capacity of industries, by avoiding 

nndue re triction of production (except as may be temporarily required), by increasing the con umption 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 respeets with the pertinent provision of ·aid Title of said Act, includin()' without limitation sub-section (a) of Section 3, sub-section (a) of Section 7 and 

sub- ection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

(c) The Code empower the Code Authority to present the afore- . aid modification on behalf of the Industry as a whole. 

(d) The modification and the code a modified are not desi()'ned 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 the e reasons this modification has been approved. 

Respectfully, 

SEPTEMBER 8, 1934. 

HuGHS. JoHNSON, 

Administrator.
