FINDINGS 

The Assistant Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on 

said Supplementary Code having found as herein set forth and on 

the basis of all the proceedings in this matter : 

I find that-

(a) Said Supplementary Code is well designed to promote the 

policies and purposes of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery 

Act, including removal of obstructions to the free fl.ow of interstate 

and foreign commerce which tend to diminish the amount thereof 

and will/rovide for the general welfare by promoting the organization o industry for the purpose of cooperative action among the 

trade groups, by inducing and maintaining united action of labor 

and management under adequate governmental sanctions and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive practices, by promoting 

the fullest possible utilization of the present productive capacity of 

industries, by avoiding undue restriction of production ( except as 

may be temporarily required), by increasing the cons1m1ption of 

industrial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing 

power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, by improving 

standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating industry. 

(b) Said Industry normally employs not more than 50,000 employees; and is not classified by me as a major industry. 

( c) The Supplementary Code as approved complies in all respects 

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; and that the 

applicant association is an industrial association truly representative 

of the aforesaid Industry; and that said association imposes no 

inequitable restrictions on admission to membership therein. 

( d) The Supplementary Code is not designed to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

( e) The Supplementary Code is not designed to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises 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 

Supplementary Code. For these reasons, therefore, I have approved this Supplementary 

Code. 

Respectfully, 

JANUARY 31, 1934.
