REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Sm: This is a report on the modifications to the Code of Fair 

Competition for the Fur Dressing and Fur Dyeing Industry, on 

which a public hearing was held on April 27, 1934. 

The first modification definitely sets the hours in which each establishment in the industry is permitted to operate. It thereby definitely fixes a thirty-five-hour week in this industry and affords the 

Code Authority more opportunity to enforce the hour provisions of 

the code. 

The second modification protects the members of _the Code Authority from legal action on a partnership theory. 

I find that: 

(a) The modification 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 fiow of interstate and foreign commerce which 

tend to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the general welfare by promoting the organization of the industry for the 

purpose of cooperative action of labor and management under adequate governmental 8anction 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 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) The Code as modified 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. 

( c) The code empowers the Cod-e Authority to present the aforesaid modifications on behalf of the industry as a whole. 

( d) The modification and the code as modified are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

( e) The modification and the code as modifi-ed 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 

b€en deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said 

modifications. · For these reasons, these modifications have been approved. 

Respectfully, 

JUNE 30, 1934.
