REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Sm: This is a report on the modification to the Code of Fair Competition for the Fur Dressing and Fur Dying Industry, which has 

been submitted in accordance with Executive Order No. 6678. 

This modification enables the Code Authority to incur such reasonable obligations as are necessary to support the administration of 

the code and to maintain the standards of fair competition established 

by this code. It also enables the Code Authority to submit an ite1nized budget, and an equitable basis upon which the funds necessary 

to support such budget shall be contributed by the members of 

the industry. Such contributions are made mandatory by this 

modification. 

The Deputy Administrator in his final report to me on said modification of said code having found as herein set forth and on the 

basis of all proceedings in this matter : 

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 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 of labor and management under adequate governmental sanction and supervision, by eliminating unfair competitive 

practices, by promoting the fullest po sible 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 provision of said Title of said Act, including without limitation 

sub-section (a) of Section 3, sub-section (a) of Section 7 and subsection (b) of Section 10 thereof. 

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

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

to and will not pernut monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

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

and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not 

operate to discriminate against them. 

(2)

(f) Those engaged in other tep of the economic proc ss have 

not b en deprived of the right to be hear l prior to approval of said 

modifi ation. 

For th e r as ns this modificati n has b en approved.

HUGH 8. JOHNSON, 

Administrator.

to such notice and opportunity to be heard as he may deem necessary (1) an itemized budget of its estimated expenses for the 

foregoing purposes, and (2) an equitable basis upon which the

members of the industry; 

(c) After such budget and basis of contribution have been 

approved by the Adm1nistratoi·, to determine and obtain equitable contribution as above set forth by all members of the industry, and to that end, if necessary, to institute legal proceedings therefor in its own name.

determined as hereinabove provided, and subject to rules and regulations pertaining thereto issued by the Administrator. Only members of the industry complying with the code and contributing to the
