Indu trial Recovel'y Act, including the re1noval o:f ob tructions 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 purpo e of 

cooperative action among trade groups, by inducing and maintaining united acti n of labor and management under adequate governmental anction and uperYision, by eliminating unfair competitive 

practices, by pron10ting the fullest possible utilization of th pre ent 

productiYe capacity of the indu trie , by avoiding undue re trictions 

of production (except as may be temporarily required) by increasing the con umption of industrial and agricultural product through 

increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemployment by ImproYing standard of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitatino- industry. 

(b) The Code as modified complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said 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 Code empowers the Code Authority to pre ent the aforesaid modification on behalf of the indu try as a whole. 

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

to and will not permit monopolies or monopoli tic practic s. 

(e) The modification and the Code as modified are not de igned 

to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not 

operate to di criminate ao-ainst them.

been d priv cl of the right to be heard prior to appro al of said 

modification. 

For the e reasons this modification has been approved.
