A Public Hearing on the proposed Amendment was conducted 

in Washington on January 29, 1935, in accordance with the provisions o:f the National Industrial Recovery Act. 

The Amendment deletes the provisions in the Code o:f said Industry as originally approved which have to do with the allowing o:f 

datings and shipping on consignment in this Industry and substitutes in place thereof revised provisions covering the same subject. 

The Amendment provides that it shall be un:fair competition :for 

any member o:f this Industry to give datings in excess o:f thirty days 

except (1) on merchandise shipped :from coast to coast via the Panama Canal, in which case an additional thirty days is allowed; (2) on 

merchandise shipped on or a:fter September 1st and prior to December 1st, where the purpose is to supply the customer with his winter 

requirements, in which case a dating not exceeding February 1st 

may be given; and (3) shipments of cleaners :for white shoes made 

on or after February 1st and prior to June 1st in which case a dating 

not exceeding June 1st may be given, and after June 1st there shall 

be no dating in excess of sixty days. 

By this Amendment consignment sales are limited to thirty days. 

FINDINGS 

The Deputy Administrat-0r in his final report on said Amendment 

to said Code having :found as herein set :forth and on the basis 

of all the proceedings in this matter: 

The Board finds that: 

(a) The Amendment to said Code and the Code as amended are 

well designed to promote the policies and purposes of Title I o:f 

the National Industrial Recovery Act including the removal o:f 

obstructions to the :free flow of inter-state 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 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 re triction of production ( except as may be temporarily required), by increasing the consumption o:f industrial and agricultural products through increasing purchasing power, by reducing
