Article IV establishes a supplementary Code Authority to be

FINDINGS 

The 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 and the Code of Fair Competition 

for the Soap and Glycerine Manufacturing Industry as supplemented by said Supplementary Code are 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 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 

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 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) Said Supplementary Code and the Code of Fair Competition 

for the Soap and Glycerine Manufacturing Industry as supplemented by said Supplementary Code comply 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) Said Supplementary Code and the Code of Fair Competition 

for the Soap and Glycerine Manufacturing Industry as supplen1ented by said Supplementary Code are not designed to and will 

not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 
4 

( e) Said Supplementary Code and the Code of Fair Competition 

for the Soap and Glycerine Manufacturing Industry a supplemented by said Supplementary Code 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 proce have not 

been deprived of the right to be heard prior to appro al of said 

Code. 

For these reasons, therefore, this Code has been approved. 

Respectfully, 

JUNE 29, 1934.
