REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

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

Competition for the Paper Disc Milk Bottle Cap Industry which 

was approved by you on February 1, 1934. 

The effect of this amendment will enable the Code Authority to 

submit a budget and basis of assessment and give it the power to 

institute legal proceedings, if necessary, for the collection of said 

assessments. 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said modification of said Code having found as herein set forth and on the 

basis of all the proceedings in this matter: 

I find that: 

(a) The modification of said Code and the 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 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 utilization of the present productive capacity of industries, by avoiding 

undue restriction of production (except as may be temporarily required), by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing 

and relieving unemployment, by improYing standards of labor, and 

by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as modified complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation sub-section (a) of Section 3, sub-section (a) of Section 7 and 

sub-section (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

(c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to propose the modification on behalf of the Industry as a whole. 

(d) The modification and the Code as modified are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(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. 

(£) 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 these reasons this modification has been approved. 

Respectfully, 

SEPTEMBER 20, 1934.

for the foregoing purposes, and to meet such obligations out of funds 

which may be raised as hereinafter provided and which shall be held

2. To submit to the Administrator for his approval, subject to 

such notice and opportunity to be heard as he may deem necessary 

(a) an itemized budget of its estimated expenses for the foregoing 

purposes, and (b) an equitable basis upon which the funds necessary 

to support such budget shall be contributed by members of the 

Industry. 

3. After such budget and basis of contribution have been approved 

by the Administrator, to determine and obtain equitable contribution 

as above set forth by all members of the Industry, and to that end, 

if necessary, to institute legal proceedings therefor in its own name. 

(b) Each member of the Industry shall pay his or its equitable 

contribution to the expenses of the maintenance of the Code Authority, determined as hereinabove provided, and subject to rules and 

regulations pertaining thereto issued by the Administrator. Only

to the expenses of its administration as hereinabove provided, unless 

duly exempted from making such contributions, shall be entitled to 

participate in the selection of members of the Code Authority or to 

receive the benefits of any of its voluntary activities or to mak~ use 

of any emblem or insignia of the National Recovery Administration. 

(c) The Code Authority shall neither incur nor pay any obligation substantially in excess of the amount thereof as estimated in 

its approved budget, and shall in no event exceed the total amount 

contained in the approved budget, except upon approval of the Administrator; and no subsequent budget shall contain any deficiency
