REPORT TO THE PRESI DENT 

The PnESIDENT, 

The l 1V hite House. 

Sm : This is a report on (he amendments of the Supplementary 

Code of Fair Competition for the Wholesale Dry Goods Trade as 

approved by me on May 14, 1934. Applications were made under 

<late of July 6, 1934, by the Divisional Code Authority for the 

vVholesale Dry Goods Trade, for amendment of the provisions of 

Article III, Section 3 ( f) . The amendments w-ere drawn up and proposed in accordance with 

Executive Order No. 6678, dated April 14r 1934, and with the Legal 

Division's suggested wording for such amendments. I t is intende.d 

that these amendments are to govern the collection of assessments 

for ,code administration. These amencbnents do not in any way affect the labor provisions 

of the Supplementary Code or anything other than assessment fo r 

txpenses of code administration. The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said amend- ments to said Supplementary Code having found as herein set forth, 

and on the basis of all the proceedings in this matter ; 

I find that: 

(a) The amendments to said Supplementary Code and the Sup- plementary 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 o:f inter-

~tate and foreign commerce which tend to diminish the amount 

thereof, and will provide for the general weHare 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 super- vision, by elimjnating unfaiI- competitive practices, by promoting the 

fullest po·. ·ible utilizati n o:f 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 

improving standards of labor, and by otherwis rehabilitating 

industry. 

(b) The S-1.tpplementary Code as amended complies in all respects 

with the pertinent provisio s of said Title of said Act, including 

without limitation Subsection (a) of Section 3, Subsection (a) of 

Section 7, and Subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

( c) The Code Authority is empowered to present the aforesaid 

amendments. 

(cl) The amendments a11-cl the Supplementary Cude as amended are 

not designed to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic 

practices. 

(2) 
3 

( e) The arn.endments and the ~Supplementary Code as amended 

are not designed to and will not eliminate or oppress small enter- prises and. will not operate to discriminate 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 amendments. 

For these reasons, I have approved these amendments to the 

Supplem~ntary Code of Fair Competition for the ,vholesale Dry 

Goods Trade. 

Respectfully, 

HUGH s. J OHNSON' 

A cl1ninis trator.
