REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White H otb8e. 

Sm: The Code Authority of the Cigar Manufacturing Industry 

has requested that the Code of Fair Competition for said industry 

be modified by aQ.ding thereto Article XIII. This article will permit the Code Authority to sell stamps to the members of the industry, 

such stamps to be attached to the container of the cigars. 

The stamp will bear the N.R.A. insignia, and a symbol indicating 

the intended retail price of the product. Members of the industry 

may apply to the Code Authority for permission to use these stamps, 

and such permission will be granted so long as they comply with the 

Code. 

The charge made for the labels by the Code Authority shall at all 

times be subject to the supervision and orders of the Administrator 

and shall not be more than an amount necessary to cover the actual 

reasonable cost thereof, including actual printing, distribution, administration, and supervision of the use thereof. 

It is expected that the use of this label will greatly aid in obtaining 

compliance with the Code. In addition, the use of the stamp will 

itself symbolize the conditions under which the cigars are manufactured and will protect purchasers relying on said stamps. 

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

of all proceedings in this matter : 

I find that 

(a) The Amendm€nt of 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 includin~ the removal of obstrue--

tions 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 among trade groups, by inducing and maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate 

governmental sanction and supervision, by eli1ninating 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 limi 

tation Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of Section 7 an<l 

Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

(2) 
3 

(c) The Code empowers the Code Authority o£ the Cigar l\1anufacturing Indu try to present the afore aid modifi ation on behalf 

of the industry as a whole. 

(d) The amendment and the Code as modified 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 enterpri es and will not 

operate to di criminate 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 the amendment has been approved. 

Respectfully, 

SEPTEMBER 21, 1934.

Administrator for Indttstrial Recovery.

Under the powers vested in him by Executive Order of October 14, 

1933, and under grant of the necessary authority by the Adininistrator, the Code Authority shall have the exclusive right in this

or protecting purchasers in relying on said labels, of insuring to 

each individual employer that the SJ111bolism of said label will be 

maintained by virtue of compliance with the practices herein contained by all other employers using said label. 

The charge made for such labels by the Code Authority shall at 

all times be subject to supervision and orders of the Administrator
