REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

SIR: The Public Hearing on an amendment to the Code of Fair 

Competition for the Cotton Garment Industry expanding the jurisdiction of the Code of Fair Competition for the Cotton Garment 

Industry to cover the manufacture of cotton underwear and sleeping 

garments as proposed by the Code Au-thority for this Industry was 

conducted on Monday, February 26, 1934, in the Ball Room of the 

Raleigh Hotel, Washington, D.C. Every person who requested an 

appearance was fairly heard in public in accordance with the regulations of the National Recovery Administration. There were present 

duly authorized representatives of the Code Authority and other 

representative members of the Industry. 

The Code of Fair Competition for the Cotton Garment Industry, 

approved November 17, 1933, covers a variety of articles of apparel 

manufactured from cotton. On October 19, 1933, the Association 

of Cotton Undergarments and Sleeping Garment Manufacturers had 

presented a petition to the Administrator asking that the definition 

of the Code of Fair Competition for the Cotton Garment Industry 

then awaiting approval be changed to give the Code jurisdiction over 

the manufacture of cotton undergarments and sleeping garments. 

For various reasons, action on this petition was delayed and no public 

hearing was called on the petition until February 26, 1934, approximately three months after the Code of Fair Competition for the 

Cotton Garment Industry had been approved, and then on the 

recommendation of the Code Authority. 

At the hearing it was clearly apparent that the Association ·originating the petition for the amendment was truly representative of 

the group of manufacturers who will be directly affected by this 

amendment. Such objection as was raised to the amendment was 

based upon the desire of some manufacturers engaged both in the 

manufacture of cotton underwear and silk or rayon underwear to 

avoid coming under the jurisdiction of more than one Code of Fair 

Competition. Since many of the members of the Association sponsoring the amendment are already to some extent manufacturing under 

the terms of the Code of Fair Competition for the Cotton Garment 

Industry, this objection was not deemed to be a vital one. 

In final form this amendment has been approved by the Labor 

Advisory Board, Industrial Advisory Board, Consumers' Advisory 

Board, and the Legal Division of the Recovery Administration. 

The Code Authority as well as the Association of the Cotton Undergarment and Sleeping Garment 1-fanufacturers have also, through 

their duly authorized representatives, indicated their approval of 

the amendment. 

The Deputy Administrator 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 proceedings in this amendment: 

(2) 
3 

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 still provide for the general 

welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpose of 

cooperative action among trade groups, by inducing and maintaining 

united 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 improving standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the pertinent 

provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation subsection (a) of Section 3, subsection (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. 

(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. 

For these reasons, this amendment has been approved. 

Respectfully, 

MARCH 22, 1934. 

HUGHS. JOHNSON, 

Administrator.
