to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the general weL I 

fare by promoting the organization of industry for the purpo e of 1 

eooperative action among trade groups, by inducing and maintaining ' 

united action of labor UJ.id 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 con- ! 

sumption 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 limi .. 

t ation sub-section (a) of Section 3, sub-sectwn (a) of Saction 7, and 

sub-section (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. 

( cl) The amendment and the Code as amended are· not designed to 

and will not permit l1}0nopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(e) The amendment and the Code as amended are not designecl! 

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

operate to discriminate against them. , 

(f) Those engaged in any other steps of the economic process , 

have not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to app'roval of 1 

tiaid amendment. 

For these reasons, t.his amendment has been approved. 

Respectfully, 

SEPTEMBER 12, 1934.
