REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

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

compliance with the provisions of the National Industriar Recovery 

Act for a modification of the Code of Rair Competition for the 

Pipe Nipple Manufaoturing Industry, submitted by the Code 

Authority for the sa.id Industry. 

The existing provisions of Article VI, Section 8, of the Code for 

said Industry, are entirely inadequate in view of Executive Order 

6678 and Administrative Order X-36, and it is therefore evident 

that the proposed modification of Article VI of said Code, the 

provisions of which follow closely the text of the above mentioned 

Orders, will overcome the existing inadequate provisions. 

FINDINGS 

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 the 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 Indu trial 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 among trade groups, by inducing and 1naintaining united 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 the industries, by avoiding undue 

restrictions of production ( except as 111ay 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 modification and the Code as modified are not designed 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopolistic practices. 

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

to and will not eliminate or oppress small enterprises and will not 

operate to d1scriminate against them. 

(2) 
3 

( e) Those engaged in other steps of the economic proces~ have 

not been deprived of the right to be heard prior to approval of said. 

modification. 

For these reasons, therefore, I have approved this modification, such approval and such modification to take effect in ten (10) days 

unless good cause to the contrary is shown to me before that time 

and I issue ·a subsequent order to that effect. 

Respectfully, 

AUGUST 13, J.934. 

HUGH 8. JOHNSON, 

Administra~or.
