REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRE IDENT, 

The W kite House. 

Sm: This i a report on the amendment of the Code of Fair Competition for the Furnitur Manufacturing Indu try as approved by 

me December 7, 1933. Application was made under date of May 31, 

1934 by the Code Authority for the Furniture Manufacturing Industry for amendn1ent of the provi ions of Article VI of the Code. 

Fair notice of opportunity to be heard on this proposed amendment 

was given to all interested parties. 

This amendment was proposed in accordance with office memorandum, dated February 3, 1934, and has since been revised, with the 

assent of the Code Authority, in accordance with suggestions made 

by the Legal Division. It is intended to govern the collection 

of assessments for code administration by the Furniture Code 

Authority. 

This amendment does not in any way affect the labor provisions 

of the Code, nor anything other than assessment for the expenses of 

code administration. 

The Assistant Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on 

said amendment to said Code having found as he-rein set forth and 

on the basis of the proceedings 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 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 untilization of the 

present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding undue restriction of production ( exce-pt as may be temporarily required), by 

increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products 

through increasing purchasing power by reducing and relieving 

unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise 

rehabilitatiD:_g industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the pertinent provision 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 present the aforesaid amendment on behalf of the industry as a whole. 

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

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices . • 

(2) 
3 

( 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 deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of 

said amendment. 

I believe the amendment to be fair to lab~r, to the consumer, and 

to the industry, and for these reasons, therefore, I have approved 

this amendment. 

Respectfully, 

JULY 12, 1934.
