REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT 

The PRE 'IDENT, 

The White House. 

SrR : This i a report on the modification to the Code of Fair 

Competition for the Fur Dressing and Fur Dyeing Industry, on 

which a public hearing wa held on August 16, 1934. 

This n1odification provide that a member of this In lu try must 

keep accurate and completer cords of his tran ·action in the Industry 

in respect to wages, hours of labor, conditions of employment, number of employees and other matters necessary for the effectlrntion of 

this Code and Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act. It 

requires any member of the Industry to furnish these a:foremcntioned 

reports when required to do ·o by the Code Authority or the Administrator or to an agency appointed by the Code Authority with the 

approval of the Admjnistrator when necessary. This modification 

also provide for a list of employees :.xcept cl from the provisions 

of Article IV, Section 1 Sublivi ions (a), (b) and (c), and Section 

2, Sudivi ions (a ) and (b), of th Code, a· well as the weekly payment of wage . This modification is a distinct aid to the Administration and en:forcement of this Code. 

The Deputy Admini trator in his final r eport to IIl"' on said modification of aid code havino- found as h 0 r ein set forth and on the 

ba ·is of all the proceeding in thi · matter: 

I find that : 

(a) The modifi"ation of said code and the code a modified are well 

de igned to promote the polici s and purpos"'s of Title I of the 

National Industrial Recovery Act including the remoYal of obstructions to the free How of interstate and foreign conunerce which tend 

to diminish the amount thereof, and will provide for the general 

welfare by promoting the organization of trade for the purpose of 

cooperative action of labor and manaaement under adequate governmental sanction and supervision, by elimi11atin0' unfair competitive 

practice , by promoting the fullest possible utilization of the present 

productive capacity of inclu~tries by avoiding undue restriction of 

production ( except as may be temporarily required), by increasing 

the consumption of industrial and agricultural products through iner asing purchasing power, by reducing and relieving unemployment, 

by improvino· standards of labor, and by otherwise rehabilitating 

industry. (b) The Code as modifi d complies in all re pects with the pertinent provi ions of said Title of aid Act, including without limitation sub-section (a) of Section 3, sub- ection (a) of Section 7 and 

sub- ection (b) of Section 10 ther of. 

( c) The modification and the Code as modified are not <le io-necl 

to and will not permit monopolies or monopoli tic practi es. 

(2)

( 1) The mo lifi ation an 1 the cl as modified are not de igned 

to an l will not liminut or ppr . ·s small nterpri · and will not 

op rat to lis riminat ao·ain t t h m. 

( ) Th e engage 1 in ther t I · of the onomic proc have 

no b n l priYecl of th riaht to be heard prior to approval of said 

mo<lifi ation. 

For th rea. on thi modificati n has been approved.
