and sustaining their reasonable share of the expenses of its

well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of

tend to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the 

general welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the 

(2)

purpose of cooperative action amrmg trade groups, by inducing and 

maintaining action of labor and management under adequate gov- ernmental anction and supervi ion, by eliminating unfair competitive practice , by promoting the fullest po ible utilization of the 

present proclu tive capacity of indu tries by avoiding undue restriction of production ( except as may be temporarily required), by 

mcreasing the con ·mnption of industrial and agricultural products 

through increasing purcha ing power by reducing and relieving 

unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise 

rehabilitating indu try. 

(b) The Code a · amended complies in all re pects with the pertinent pro--risions of said title of aid Act, including without limitation sub ecbon (a) of Section 3; subsection (a) of Section 7, and 

sub ection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

( c) The Code em powers the Code Authority to present the aforesaid amendments on behalf of the industry as a whole. 

(cl) The amendments and the Code as amended are not designed 

to, and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

( e) The amendm nts and the Code as amended, are not designed 

to, and \Yill not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. 

( f) Tho ·e engaged in other steps of the economic process have not 

been cleprfred of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

amendments. 

For the e reasons these amendments have been approved. 

Re pectfully, 

MARCH 24, 1934.
