·REPORT TO THE PRESIDEN'FF~ 

!The PRESIDENT, . l' r [",,"'~:.~ i:·. :t. 

The White House. 

Sm: In the Order of Approval of the Code of Fair Competition 

, for the Funeral Service Industry, Section· 13· o£. Article VII was · amended by changing the period to a coronia after ;the·· word "serv1 ice " in the ninth line thereof and adding the following: 

" Provided, however, that nothing contained iri. this Section shall 

supersede any state law which by its terms permits any of the 

, practices described herein by members of the industry." 

After the approval of the Funeral Service Industry Code the 

original proponents of the Code as well as several members of the 

Industry conferred with me and it develops that the wording of this 

last paragraph of my Order of Approval of this Code is not clear, 

as to its intent. 

Therefore in order to maintain the original intent of the last paragraph of the order of approval and to clarify its meaning, I recom- mend the modification of this last paragraph by substituting the 

following: 

"Provided, however, that nothing contained in this section shall 

supersede any state law which by its terms expressly .authorizes a 

member of this industry to organize, promote, participate in and 

operate a form of enterprise prohibited herein." 

Respectfully, 

JULY 25, 1934.
