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 the industries, by avoiding undue 

restrictions o:f pToduction (except as may be temporarily required), 

by increasing the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemploym,ent by improving standards of labor, and by other-

,,-ise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation sub-section (b) of Section 3, sub-section (a) of Section 7 and

not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

amendments. 

For these reasons, therefore, I have approved these amendments.

Code Authority is authorized: 

" (a) To incur such reasonable obligations as are necessary and 

proper . for the foregoing purposes, and to meet such obligations out 

of funds which may be raised as hereinafter provided and which 

shall be held in trust for the purposes of the Code; 

"(b) To submit to the Administrator for his approval, subject 

to such notice and opportunity to be heard as he may deem necessary

purposes, and (2) an equitable basis upon which the funds necessary 

to support such budget shall be contributed by members of the 

Industry; 

" (c) After such budget and basis of contribution have been approved by the Administrator, to determine and obtain equitable contributions as above set forth, by all members of the Industry, and to 

that end, if necessary, to institute legal proceedings therefor in its

" (d) Each member of the Industry shall pay his or its equitable 

contribution to the expenses of the maintenance of the Code Authority, determined as hereinabove provided, and subject to rules and 

regulations pertaining thereto issued by the Administrator. Only

to the expenses of its administration as hereinabove provided ( unless duly exempted from making such contribution), shall be entitled 

to participate in the selection of members of the Code Authority or

use of any emblem or insignia of the National Recovery Administration. 

" (e) The Code Authority shall neither incur nor pay any obligation in excess of the amount thereof as estimated in its approved

excess of prior budget estimates except those which the Administrator shall have so approved." 

II. By inserting a new section to be known as Section 8 as follows:
