REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, The White House. 

Sm : The Code of Fa.ir Com petition for the Machinery and Allied 

Products Industry approved by you March 17, 1934, provides in 

Article VI, Section (g) : 

"A Code Authority is hereby constituted for each Subdivision to 

adm_inister, supervise and facilitate the enforcement of thi Basic 

Code in the manner and to the extent hereinafter provided in this 

Article, and of such Supplemental Code as may be submitted hereafter by a SubdiYision anl approved by the Administrator. 

"During the period not to exceed sixty (60) da.ys following the 

effective date of this Code, the governing body of the trade asso- . ciation (member of the Applicant) representing the employers 

within the Subdivision, shall constitute a. temporary Code Authority. The Administrator, in his di cretion, may appoint one additional 

member (without vote and without expen e to the industry). 

""\Vi thin said sixty ( 60) day period each such temporary Code 

Authority sha.ll call a meeting, to which all known member in the 

particular Subdivision concerned shall be invited, at which meeting 

the following action shall be taken : 

"(1) Adoption of procedural rules and regulation for the election, organization and operation of permanent Code Authority. 

" (2) Election of permanent Code Authority." 

At the time of the approval of the Code for the :Machinery and 

Allied Products Industry, it was thought that the Supplemental 

CodefS of the Subdivisions of the Industry would be approved prior 

to the expiration of the sixty ( 60) day period. Due to unexpected 

delays, some of these Supplemental Codes have not been approved. The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said Modification of said Code having found us herein set forth and on the 

basis of all the proceedings in this matter; 

I find that: 

(a) The ~'Iod ification of said Code and the Code as modified 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 am.ong 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 industries, by avoiding undue restrictions of production (except as may be temporarily required), by 

(3) 
4 

increa ing the con umption of industrial and agricultural products 

through increasing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving 

unemployment, by improving standards of labor, and by otherwise 

r ehabilitating industry. 

(b) The Code as modified complies in all re pe~ts with the pertinent provisions 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. I'[ 

(c) The Modification and the Code as modified are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

(d) The Modification and the Code as modified are not designed 

to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. 

(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 

Modification. 

For these reasons, therefore, I have approved this Modification. 

Respectfully, 

HuGH S. JoHNSON, Administrator.
