REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PnESI&ENT, 

The lVhite House. . 

Sm: 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 

Electric Storage and \Vet Primary Battery Industry, submitted by 

the Code Authority for the said Industry. 

The existing provision of Article IX of the Code for said Industry 

is entirely inadequate in view of Executive Order 6678, dated April 

14, 1934, and Administrative Order X-36, dated May 26, 1934, and 

it is therefore evident thnt the proposed amendment to Article VI 

of :aid Code, the provisions of which follow closely the text of the 

above mentioned Orders, will overcome the existing inadequate 

prOVlSlOllS. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Admini trator in his final report to me on said amendment to said Code having found as herein set forth and on the basis 

of all the proeeedings in this matter: 

I find that: 

(a) The amendment to said Code and the Code as amended are 

well designed to promote the policies and purpose of Title I of 

the National Industrial Recovery Act including the n~moval of 

obstru tions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce 

which tend to dimini h the amount thereof, and will provide for the 

general welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the 

purpose of cooperative action among trade grou1)3, by inducing and 

maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate 

govermnental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the 

pre 'ent productive capacity of the industries, by avoiding undue 

restrictions of production (except as may be temporarily required), 

by increasing the consumption o£ industrial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by re lucing and relieving un mployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwi e rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the perti- H~nt provisions of said Title of aid Act, including without limitation 

Sub ection (a ) of Section 3, Sub ection (a) of Section 7, and Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

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

t 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 enterpri. es and will not 

ope.rate to discriminate against them. 

(2) 
r 

3 

(e) Those engaged in other st€ps of the economic process have 

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

amendment. 

For these reasons, therefore, I have approved this amendment.
