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 flow of interstate 

and foreign c01mnerce which tend to diminish the amount thereof 

and will provide for the general welfare by promoting the organization of industry for the purposes 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 restnction of production ( except as 

may be temporarily required), by increasing the consumption 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 group is an industrial group 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 pra.ctices. 

( 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 ap:(>roved this Supplementary 

Code, with a 60 day stay of the provisions prescribing a waiting 

period between the filing and effective date of revised price lists. 

Respectfully, 

MARCH 24, 1934.

establish prices lower, nor discounts greater, nor conditions of sale 

more favorable than those contained in the revised list first filed. 1 

(b) If the Supplementary Code Authority shall hereafter determine that in any branch or subdivision of the industry, not selling its 

products on the basis of price lists, with or without discount sheets, 

the distribution or marketing conditions in said branch or subdivision are the same as, or similar to, the distribution and marketing 

conditions in a branch or subdivision of the industry where the filing of price lists, with or without discount sheets and other 'fixed conditions of sale, has been required, and that the use of price lists, with 

or without discount sheets and with fixed conditions of sale, should 

be put into effect in such branch or subdivision, then each member of 

the Industry 1nanufacturing such product or products shall, within 

twenty (20) days after notice of such determination, file with the 

Supplementary Code Authority net price lists, or price lists with 

discount sheets, containing all fixed conditions of sale, in such form 

as the Supplementary Code Authority may prescribe, and such lists 

shall be imm.ediately sent to all members of the Industry manufacturing such product or products, and shall be made available to all 

interested parties and may be revised from time to time as provided 

in Paragraph (a) hereof: 

Provided, however, that the Supplementary Code Authority shall 

make no determination to place any product of the industry on a 

price list basis, unless two-thirds of the members who are at that 

time engaged in manufacturing such products shall affirmatively consent that such determination be made. 

(c) The Supplementary Code Authority shall have power, on 

its own initiative, or on the complaint of any member of the industry to investigate any price or the terms of sale and payment for any 

product shown in any price list and/or discount sheet filed with the 

Supplementary Code Authority by any member of the Industry. 

Each member of the Industry shall furnish the Supplementary 

Code Authority for distribution with such number of copies of his 

price lists and/ or discount sheets as Supplementary Code Authority

ARTICLE IX-J\1oNOPOLIES 

No provision of this Supplementary Code shall be applied so as 

to permit monopolies or monopolistic practices, or to eliminate,

ARTICLE X-MODIFICATIONS 

SECTION 1. This Supplementary Code and all the provisions thereof 

are expressly made subject to the right of the President, in accordance with provisions of subsection (b) of Section 10 of the Act, from 

time to time to cancel or modify any order, approval, license, rule 

or regulation issued under said Act. 

SECTION 2. This Supplementary Code, except as to provisions required by the Act, may be modified on the basis of experience or 

changes in circumstances, such modifications to be based upon application by the Supplementary Code Authority to the Administrator 

and such Notice and Hearing as he shall specify and to become 

effective and be a part of this Supplementary Code on approval by 

the President. 

ARTICLE XI-PRICE INCREASES 

Whereas the policy of the Act to increase real purchasing power 

will be made more difficult of consummation if prices of goods and 

services increase as rapidly as wages, it is recognized that price 

increases except such as may be required to meet individual costs 

should be delayed, but when made, such increases should, so far as 

possible, be limited to actual additional increases in the seller's costs. 

ARTICLE XII-EFFECTIVE DATE 

This Supplementary Code shall become effective at 12: 01 A.M. 

o'clock on the tenth day after it is approved by the President.
