The W hdte H OW8e. 

Sm: This is a report on the amendment to the Code of Fair Competition for the 'iV ood Plug Industry, which has been submitted in 

accordance with Executive Order No. 6678. 

This amendment enables the Code Authority to incur such reasonable obligations as are necessary to support the administration of the 

code and to maintain the standards of fair competition established 

by this code. It also enables the Code Authority to submit an itemized budget, and an equitable basis upon which the funds necessary

industry. Such contributions are made mandatory by this amendment. 

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

of all the proceedings in this matter: 

We find that: 

(a) The amendment 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 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 among trade groups by inducing and maintaining united action of labor and management tmder 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 in- ~rea ing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, 

by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating 

industry. 

~ (b) The Code as amended com.plies in all respects with the pertient provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation subsection (a) of Section 3, Sub-section (a) of Section 7 and 

,kub-section (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

(c) The amendment and the code as amended are not designed 

:to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(d) 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. 

1 (e) 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. 

For the National Industrial Recovery Board:
