and that the requirements of clauses (1) and (2) of subsection (a) 

of section 3 of the said act have been met: 

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of 

the United States, pursuant to the authority vested in me by title I

THE WHITE HousE, 

December 18, 1933. 

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT. 
DECEMBER 18, 1933. 

THE PRESIDENT' 

The W kite House. 

Sm: The National Automobile Chamber of Commerce has made 

application in behalf of the Automobile Manufacturing Industry 

that the Code of Fair Competition for said Industry be amended as 

follows: 

In Article I, the seventh paragraph, which now reads as follows: 

"The term 'expiration date', as used herein, means December 31 

1933, or the earliest date prior thereto on which the President shali 

by proclamation, or the Congress shall by Joint Resolution, declare 

that the emergency recognized by Section 1 of the National Industrial Recovery Act has ended ", 

be modified to read as follows : 

"The term. 'expiration date', as used herein, means September 4, 

1934, or the earliest date prior thereto on which the President shall 

by proclamation, or the Congress shall by Joint Resolution, declare 

that the emergency recognized by Section 1 of the National Industrial Recovery Act has ended." 

The reports received from the manufacturers operating under this 

Code. indicate that the provisions of the Code have tended to effectuate the policy of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act 

in that employment was increased from approximately 125,600 in 

July 1933 to approximately 150,700 in September 1933; an increase 

of approximately 25,100 employees, or 20% . That this increase was not due to increased production is indicated by a decrease in man-hours from approximately 21,300,000 in 

J nly 1933 to approximately 19,600,000 in September 1933, a decrease 

of approximately 1,700,000 man-hours, or 8%. Total pay rolls at the. same time increased from approximately 

$12,700,000 in July 1933 to approximately $14,700,000 in September 

1933, an increase of approximately $2,000,000, or 16%. The above figures cover only factory employees of manufacturers 

who are members of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, since complete figures are not available for the. entire Industry 

prior to the Code. The National Automobile Chamber of Commerce 

represents approximately 78% of the production capacity and approximately 95% of the manufacturing units in the Industry. 

It is recommended, therefore, that the application be approved. 

Respectfully, 

Approved Code No. 17-Amendment No. 1. 

Registry No. 1403-1-04.
