REPORT TO TI-IE PRESIDENT 

The PnESIDENT, 

The lVhite House. 

Srn: An application has been duly made pursuant to and in full 

compliance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery 

Act for an amendment of Article IV of the Supplementary Code of 

Fair Competition for the Shoe Shank Manufacturing Industry by 

the Supplementary Code Authority for that Industry. 

The Supplementary Code of Fair Competition for the Shoe Shank 

:Manufacturing Industry was approved on February 21, 1934. Article IV, Section 5, Subsection ( e) provides that : 

,; ( e) Each member of the Industry ~hall pay to the Association 

as the agent of the Suppleinentary Code Authority his or its proportionate share o:£ the amount necessary to pay the cost of assembling, analyzing, and publication of such reports and data and of 

the maintenance and operation of the Supplen1entary Code Authority in connection with its activities relative to the administration 

of this Supplementary Code; said proportionate share to be based 

upon the net ,sales and/ or other equitable factors as the Supplementary Code Authority may prescribe, subject to the approval of 

the Administrator." 

The above Section of Article IV in effect provides ,for voluntary 

contribution on the part of the members of the Industry. This 

method of providing funds for the proper administration of the 

Suppleinentary Code has been found to be unsatisfactory. The p1:e-sent amendment is therefore proposed to create a legal obligation on 

the part of the Industry members to pay their pro rata share of the 

expense of the Supplementary Code Authority. 

FINDINGS 

The .A,ssistant Deputy Administrator, in his final report to the 

National Industrial Recovery Board on said amendment of said Supplementary Code,- having found as herein set forth and on the basis 

of all of the proceedings in this matter: 

It finds that: 

(a) The amendment of said Code and the Code as amended are 

well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I of the ~ ational Industrial Recovery Act including the removal of obstruc- tions to the free flow of interstate and foreign commerce which tend 

to diminish the amount thereof, and will p1·ovide for the general 

w·elfare by promoting the organization of I ndustry for the purpose 

of cooperative action among trade groups, by inducing and maintaining united action of labor and management under adequate govPrnmenta] sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competit.iYc practices, by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the 

(2) 
3 

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 

rehabilitatin~g Industry. 

(b) The Code as amended complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions of said Title of said Act, including without limitation subsection (a) of ection 3, subsection (a) of Section 7 and 

subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

(c) The Code empowers the Code Authority to present the aforesaid amendment on behalf of the Industry as a whole. 

( d) The amendn1ent and the Code as amended are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies of monopolistic practices. 

( e) The amendment and the Code as amended are 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 

amendment. 

For these reasons, therefore, it has approved this amendment. 

For the National Industrial Recovery Board:

of any of its voluntary activities or to make use of any emblem or 

insignia of the National Recovery Administration. 

3. The Supplementary Code Authority shall neither incur nor pay 

any obligation substantially in excess of the amount thereof as estimated in its approved budget, and shall in no event exceed the total 

amount contained in the approved budget, except upon approval of 

the National Industrial Recovery Board; and no subsequent budget 

shall contain any deficiency item for expenditures in excess of prior 

budget estimates except those which the National Industrial Recovery 

Board shall have so approved.
